worrisomebear · 17th August 2007, 12:01

hi guys,

I am in midst of buying anew car .I own a zen at present.My budget is 5 lacs

I have closed in on Swift, but i have got stuck with colors red /white

i am also keen on a city too,however its beyond my budget ..i do have some used city for 5.2/5.5 ...but i am not sure wether to go for used city or not...Plz advice

Is it worth buying new car now or wait till festive season?what would be benefits?

FOr that price, it'll be a very used City; irrespective of OHC/NHC . Buy the Swift instead.

hi friends,

I am in the midst of booking a new Swift vxi White

however, i was browsing thru the threads and people have been saying new swift would be coming in 2008 with few goodies?? is that true?

should i get RVM and handles painted in body color from the dealer or get it done outside?
cheers

get it done from the dealer. you wont have any colour matching problems.

Dude go for the swift so that maintaining a used car "worry" you in the future

Go for Swift VDI and enjoy it as other swift owners.

About painting it better get it done outside it would cost much lesser. anyway do some research on the price and quality of job done. so dont be in hurry.

good luck!

buying a new car is always better in terms of satisfaction/peace of mind when compared to buying an old car

the dealer is saying 2800 for painting door handles and mirrors..i am going for pear metallic white...cash doscount of 12000...during festive season will we get more discounts??

Happen to c a dolphin city on sunday 2003 model golden color..but price quoted was vague like 5.65 lacs

I was in a similar confused state and I have come out of it as a winner...
I bought a City and believe me the comfort and the feel (power can be debated and also depends on your requirement) is far superior to Swift; though Swift in itself is also good. I love the look of the old city and picked up the old model and with that serpentine sedan look, I look for a reason to get into the car and drive....
