Dear Itsrenjith - I am not surprised. I have been telling since years and have written many times on TeamBHP also that buying a new car in India is an ordeal in itself. After a house, the car is the biggest purchase anybody makes (besides jewellery) and more often than not he has to deal with complete nincompoops many times if not at all times. But all is not lost. There is a technique. Please observe the salesman's behaviour and more importantly his body language, within 3 minutes you will be able to make out whether to proceed or walk out. I have walked out 9 times out of 10 and the dealer principal never even knew.
Also please read my post on page 4 of a thread started by "Muneemm" on his experience as a car salesman at a dealership. This amply proves that we TeamBHPians who are passionate about our cars feel about our automotive experiences differently and that there is just no comparison between us and others in any way. But what to do, life is like that only, you have to be careful.
By the way, I don't like the petrol Swift at all. There is just no performance and build quality is tacky to say the least. If you want details, please PM me.
Best regards,
