Booked SX4/ZXi Today - Team-BHP

rkbharat · 8th May 2008, 20:01

After lots and lots of research, and 360 degree change in mind in last 6 months, finally I settled for SX4.

Vehicle I test drove:

1. Safari 2.2 EX

2. Indigo XL Dicor

3. Ford Fusion TDCI

4. Scorpio LX

All in diesel, In petrol I had only two options in mind City and SX4, so no point trying else and getting more confused when you are already confused to the neck.

As I have written the TD experience of all these vehicles in different threads I will not go for it again, In case you need to ask something specific, please reply.

Took three TDs of SX4 for ride, AC, pickup etc. And drove a friends SX4 once and found very much satisfied. Looks, GC, Features and decent ride had major influence on the decision. Though I will still rate NHC high on ride uality. But in SX4 I get alot for the money and its VFM.

There was alot of drama involved in booking and selling my Indica for Exchange scheme. Will put all in detail later.

Can not wait for my ride....

Bharat,

Congratulations. Will catch you for a treat the day I visit Infinity towers

Which dealer ? What color ? What is the OTR price?

rkbharat · 8th May 2008, 21:55

Thanks EDDY, lets catch up some time.

Its VIPUL Gurgaon, Silky Silver, 7.3 lacs on road. With 12000 Corp Disc, 30000 Exchange Bonus, 4000 worth of extended warranty plus some minor addons.

My Indica(DLS 2002, 98K Km) is evaluated for 105000 Rs. I am not sure if its ok, but total comes out to be 135000 with bonus.

7.3 lacs OTR for a ZXi seems to be a decent deal

karanraheja · 8th May 2008, 22:09

Rajiv Congrats !! 7.3 OTR for a fully loaded car is a bang on the buck.
What about waiting period? I cant come to Infinity Towers like Eddy

but surely shall catch a treat from your side. Cheers!

rkbharat · 8th May 2008, 22:55

Thanks, waiting time is one week max, but I may get it early as they have one silky silver on transit. I told them very clearly that I will inspect the car before its invoiced to me.

Well congrats . What all mods you planning. Also inspect every part of the car. Dont be hasty in your decision
1 week is not that much.

arunmur · 9th May 2008, 08:09

Any idea, if there is a waiting period for it in Bangalore? My dad's friend asked Bimal and they told him that he has to wait for 3 months.

AutoMatix · 9th May 2008, 08:53

Hi RKB.Congrats on your booking sx4-zxi silky silver.I got the same one too.Was my mail of any help to you? What deal did you get from your dealer?

VJ_MAVRICK · 9th May 2008, 11:10

Congrats Bharat on your new ride and drive safe.

vkochar · 9th May 2008, 11:16

Good choice there mate. Looking forward to a few pics.

In Agra, SX4 is readily available except for the Colour White which has a waiting of 7 - 10 days.

Thats a good hefty discount you have gotten there

Thanks Abhinav, well I am not actually a mod guy, so nothing except seat cover, reverse parking help, spoiler and Sun films. Will think about the tyres.

Yes I will inspect the car with lense :-). I am not at all pushing sale guy for the car as I know it will not be long.

No idea for banglore, but SX4 does not have long waiting time.
