How it works
- Bring the vehicle and its papers to any of our showrooms.
- We inspect and value it — usually within half an hour.
- The agreed value comes off your new Ather's price or goes towards the down payment.
- We handle the transfer paperwork for the old vehicle.
What affects the price
- Age and kilometres. The biggest factors.
- Condition. Body panels, tyres, how it starts and runs.
- Service history. Receipts and a clean record help.
- Papers in order. A valid RC, insurance and no pending challans make the process smoother and the offer better.
- Make and model demand in the used market around our showrooms.
Documents for the old vehicle
- Original RC (registration certificate)
- Valid insurance
- Your ID proof matching the RC owner
- Both keys, if you have them
- If there is an outstanding loan: the lender's details, so we can arrange the loan closure and the hypothecation removal (Form 35 / NOC)
Exchange plus finance
Using your exchange value as the down payment can bring the loan amount — and the EMI — down noticeably. Our finance desk works out the combination with you. See the finance guide and try the numbers in the EMI calculator.
Exchange or sell privately?
| Exchange at the showroom | Sell privately | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | Fair market offer | Sometimes a little higher |
| Time | Same day | Days to weeks |
| Paperwork | We handle the transfer | You arrange it |
| Risk | None — paid against your new scooter | Test rides by strangers, payment risk |
If you have the time and patience, a private sale can fetch slightly more. Most customers find the convenience of exchange worth it, especially when the value goes straight into the down payment.
