- how old a car is acceptable? (2 months?)
Depending on the manufacturer, this may be anywhere between a month to 6 months. However and in the worst case scenario, it should be a Y2007 build.

- what all problems other than dents and paint job
Thats pretty much it and you wont really need to do any mechanical checks. Just check the body for any damage or repair jobs.

Quote:
- Is it possible to get a short test drive?
Yes but it depends on your dealership policies. I have taken some of my cars for tests before the registration.

Quote:
Suppose I feel that the vehicle is not upto the mark, OR in short I'm not satisfied with it, do I have the final word in demanding "I want another vehicle!"
If there is visible damage / repair job to the vehicle, dont sign on the registration papers. Insist on a different car allocation.

Is it possible that the vehicle be tuned for ideal performance in terms of FE/ smoother gear shifts by the mechanics at the time of assembling/ just before delivery.
Not really. The dealership would "tune" primarily over the first service.
