Secondly, i must admit i am truly impressed by the way you use words, and the way in which you narate your ownership experience. Keeps me hooked.
These apart, i must say i am stumped by some of the costs which are charged. I just cant come to accept that a full body wash for your car at the dealer costs Rs.400/- ?! Isnt that a lot? I am not even referring to any of the other costs. |
Thanks. Yes, expensive they certainly are, but I had little choice. With an still-under-warranty car, I was quite reluctant to take her to an 'outsider', and besides felt the need to nurture a relationship with TAFE. :-(

The Skoda badge does mean a lot (as u mentioned). Congrats on the new car, and keep penning down your experiences here. This topic has been a great read! |
Thanks, BunnyPunia. I looked at it this way: twin airbags, double galvanized body and the Skoda badge helped ease the parting with 1.3 extra lakhs of the hard-earned stuff. Besides my parents have never owned a new car, so that induced me to go the extra yard for them.
