One more thing I would like to add is : Recently, during the delivery of my swift, I saw the head rest to be inclined in the vertical plane, you can see its rotated when you view it from the front. Reported it to the dealer and got it replaced before delivery of my vehicle.

You have been ripped off! Why should he be paying 4 grand as "chai-pani" unless yours was an out of city / state registration. Or you got a VIP number.

Registration charge is different from Road Tax. You need to pay separately !

i checked in my old cars too not bought from same dealer but there is approx amount of 5000/- which doesnot have recipt.
do we get recipt of all the amount which we pay as road tax or some of it is considered as processing charges

Hi ! I will be taking delivery of my Santro next week. I am getting teflon and anti rust under chasis coating from dealer. How do we identify that these coatings are actually performed by dealer while taking the delivery. Are there any valid points to indicate this or is it just by looking ?

[saurabh159]

Hi,
Why youu want to go for TEflon coating ???
had you gone through its merits and demerits ?
i had read somewhere in this forum that the teflon coating may crack even if we put it under sun for one single day !
Teflon coating is not suitable for Indian Weather as far as i think.
At the time of first service, my dealer also pushed me for teflon things and as he was telling how it can protect the paint, i asked if it is so useful, then why maruti dont put it at the factory ?
Car-Gurus may further elaborate !!

well there is no proper guarantee that he might have done it and if u r getting it complimentary from the dealer it has to be wax polish and for anti rust too they will put anti rust on tyres and then tell u that they have done it on the bottom too,I feel it is not worth doing it
After Teflon too (which the say they have done it) scratches r seen

Where is month of manufacture printed on santro. I asked dealer about it and he said that santro has only Year of Manufacture on it and not month.I tried to find out on Car but was not able to. Anyone has clue ??
