I am sure they must be thinking on why give a discount for a car which is selling well especially the diesel!
I booked a figo titanium. Getting the delivery tomorrow. I got the accessory pack+extended warranty+teflon for free. He was not ready to give any other discount on the diesel. He was ready to give many more discounts on the petrol version though.

Ok thats great.Listen,if you want the car asap,then its fine but if you can wait,then the dealer has agreed to register it in 2012. It does play a role when interms of resale.

When are you planning to get your car registered? I wanted it done in 2012 and the dealer agreed for jan2nd.
I am waiting for my vehicle and showroom may deliver the same by 20 December 2011.

Correct me if I am wrong.Does it make any difference if you pick the vehicle on 02 January 2012 as any ways the vehicle manufacturing would be of 2011.

I am not too sure about it either but what i have found is that non petrol heads usually ask about the registration year rather than the manufacture date.I am in the process of selling my Ikon 1.6 NXT and prospective buyers are going with the registration date.
So i am sure its better to register the car in 2012 since its just a few weeks away.In your case,it would be just 10days.

Though it's 10 days, I wouldn't be able to resist my self and at this point don't want to think about resale value.

Paid the amount on dec-4th and got the vehicle delivered today. I'm liking the no so long wait. (I had to wait for 5 months to get my bike after booking so the 3 day waiting period for my figo seems like nothing to me )

I'm still waiting for the DVD player update :P

I don't think any one has received the gift. I got a sms from Ford stating that I would receive the gift within 30 days from the date of delivery.

Hi Vikram

Can you post some pics of the car especially the tilt steering option and how much of range the steering has.Also if its not too much trouble,the pics of the mats you got along with the car,weather its the carpet type or rubber mats.Does it include the boot mat as well? My Diamond white titanium diesel is expected next week and will be registered on jan2nd 2012.On some other posts,its also mentioned that the suspension has been stiffened. Have you scraped the belly anyhere? Thanks in advance

Hi Keshav,

I got carpet type mats as free from the dealer and it includes the boot mat.
Luckily till date it never scraped, even on huge speed breakers with 5 people on board
Advance congrats on your new Figo delivery.

Regards,
Vikram

Hi Guys

I got my dvd player delivered yesterday which was through the midnight sale in Dec2011. Its panasonic with a usb option. Pleasantly surprised,I never expected it to come especially after alot of owners saying that they didnt get anything from 2010.

Has anyone received the gifts?
