Normally if the car is a test drive vehicle, they will have stickers all over the body advertising the car and the dealer ...

HMP had demo cars for all models available with them except the Getz Diesel when I went to pick up my mother's i10. But I guess smaller dealers do not maintain such a large fleet even though most dealers I've seen normally do have stickered demo cars available.

I had gone for TD of Palio 1.6 stile. The TATA/FIAT dealer offered a 1.6 Palio which probably had come for 1st service. I felt sorry for the customer and asked the sales guy. He said that he has taken permission from the owner. I trefused to take TD and came back. I think we should choose a dealer whose workshop is not on the same premises as his sales office. In this respect I find Maruti is better. They have well marked TD cars. I am really considering Swift Zxi (rattle or no rattles)
