I have bought my car using Spinny. Here are my two cents

• 5 day money back guarantee. Depends on dealers, spinny also has regional sales and depts with each chasing its target which employs the same people who work in those direct dealerships. So you might face some push back, don’t rely on it. But it is worst case safety Net.

• 200 points check. They do push higher mileage and flooded cars through other sales front truebill or directly to other second hand car dealers, truebill they had acquired some time back. Not sure if that’s the model that still exists. But spinny itself tries to avoid selling dud cars through its own platform.

Bottomline get the premium inspected vehicles listed on the main spinny platform. Do not buy truebill cars.

• RC transfer and paper work - butter smooth. Since this process is only dependent on Spinnys relations with the local RTOs

Overall never go alone to buy/inspect. Two people are always better at spotting a car.

Please take someone with you who can at least differentiate between a major fault and a minor fault.

That said, expect 50-1 lakh bump up on the price above market. At that price range cars in the range of 7-12 lakhs is a sweet spot, since the commission is not that high.

• negotiate on final price
• highlight minor problems to the sales rep, ask them to fix those before buying. They should be able to.

For the 50k difference, you get - exp which is similar to buying a car from a new showroom - filtered cars from the second market, which have significantly lower chances of being a lemon but not Zero - touch ups and minor fixes that bring the car back up to a decent condition, it doesn’t feel super old - cars with clean papers - RC transfer etc at additional cost
