He was curious as to how with such high demand, a 4 month old vehicle got allocated. Suspicious as to the vehicle was used for any marketing/display or related purpose, he followed up with Ford Customer care. Ford customer care indicated in a written communication that build of the vehicle (though has a May VIN) was completed in September only and is directly retailed from the plant to the dealer. Are you aware as to when the VIN is generated? Is it once when the vehicle build is completed and ready for Quality Check / Shipping? Or is it before that, when the build of the vehicle starts. | |

My dealer has given me VIN no. DC66690 for EcoSport. I believe other digits will be similar to other Ford vehicles. Can you please decode the date of manufacture. I understand that D & C correspond to 2013 and September. Thanks. | |

By searching on the internet I came to know from http://www.khivrajmotors.co.in/ertiga.htm that L100 is for ZDi with alloys. Which one is yours? Invoice amount would differ for ZDi with alloys vs ZDi without alloys but fitted with alloys by dealer. Former costs 32k more than ZDi without alloys while later would cost only 26k more, but will show up as accessories charge for a set of 5 alloys. Though costing more, OEM fitment said to be better right? | |

Ya, better to get it fitted from factory itself (I feel) and ya, mine is L100.I must say khivraj site was pretty neat and with useful info unlike many other. Especially their emi calcs with down payment info and discounts, on road price info etc. Then I noticed that the same site is customised for some other dealerships also for ex, Bangalore ones.
