BHPian Nonstop-driver<\/strong> recently shared with other enthusiasts.<\/p>\n Hi BHPians, I’m currently driving a 2017 Creta SX AT Diesel with the ODO reading 56,000kms. I’m currently based in National Capital Region which caps the life of diesel cars at 10 years, which means my car is due for a replacement in 2027, or about 3.5 years from now.<\/p>\n The original plan was to replace this one with a similar car towards end of 2026.<\/p>\n Yesterday, I came across a post in our society group where a 2021 MG Hector Plus Petrol CVT (6 seater) is available for sale with 17,000kms on the ODO. The vehicle has 5 year comprehensive maintenance package along with an accessories package installed by MG. Also, its very well maintained. The owner is selling the vehicle because he’s moving abroad.<\/p>\n I have never purchased a pre-worshipped vehicle in my life. This was never the plan but this lateral upgrade opportunity got me thinking and now I’m seeking suggestions from fellow motorheads if this makes sense.<\/p>\n The equation:<\/p>\n What I get:<\/p>\n What I lose:<\/p>\n The dilemma:<\/p>\n Thank you motorheads for reading my dilemma and sharing your thoughts.<\/p>\n Here’s what BHPian yedukrishnan199<\/strong> had to say on the matter:<\/p>\n An MG Hector Plus CVT 2021 model which has run for 17,000 km @ 17-18 lakhs is a good deal, provided the car is in good condition, you will surely get 8 to 10 lakhs on your Creta if you are patient and wait for the right buyer,as I have seen even Spinny and Cars24 offer around 8 lakhs for your model.<\/p>\n A few things to consider are the fact that the MG Hector Plus CVT is quite a bulky car running on a 1451 cc engine producing just 141 hp and 250 nm of torque which might feel a bit underpowered considering the fact that you are coming from a lighter Creta which produced 126 hp and 265 nm of torque.<\/p>\n The MG isn’t frugal at all and would return mileage mostly in single digits. If you can live with these facts, then going for the MG Hector Plus CVT would be a good decision.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Here’s what Sufficient-shop<\/strong> had to say on the matter:<\/p>\n Adding to what Yedukrishnan mentioned above, the desire to sell the 2017 Creta sounds good considering you are in NCR. Its value will only depreciate faster as years pass by.<\/p>\n But not sure about pre-owned (or pre-worshipped as you mention) cars. Unless it’s someone whom you can trust, I’d suggest you stay away from spending 8+ lakhs, especially for a Hector.<\/p>\n Considering you have an overall budget of ~20L, why not look at new cars in the same segment like the new 2023 Seltos or just wait a bit for the Creta facelift expected to come in Jan 2024?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Here’s what BHPian bijims<\/strong> had to say on the matter:<\/p>\n If you are in the market for a 6\/7 seater SUV under 30 lakhs, there are hardly a handful of options to choose from, with the Mahindra Scorpio-N, Mahindra XUV700, Tata Safari, Hyundai Alcazar, and MG Hector Plus, your only options.<\/p>\n If you are planning to go with petrol, all of the above are fuel guzzlers, and if you like the overall looks, performance, and feature set of the MG Hector Plus, there is nothing to worry about, follow your heart and go for it. If you get it for 17 lakhs, I personally think it is a good price for the model, provided it is in good condition.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Here’s what BHPian mayannk<\/strong> had to say on the matter:<\/p>\n As you said, mileage is not in the equation. In that case, the hector would be a good buy.<\/p>\n Additionally, since it’s not really fixable outside, you can easily check for issues logged with MG for your specific car. The ownership is very peaceful, and the lack of power is only evident for about the first few days. But it’s such a luxurious and comfortable place to be in, you’ll soon forget about everything else that may be lacking. Mainly the kmpl and the looks. In any case, the plus looks better than the 1st gen 5 seater.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n
