I think yes, as they offerered as accessories, but I was not keep on it, New bumpers looks neat and much better.

See after 7 days of booking I still don't know the date for delivery. After escalating this to TKM level, I got 2-3 call backs from Toyota Customer service and Galaxy customer Service Managers but no update yet for date of delivery. Still the sam song they are singing from day one, 15-20 days for delivery. Not sure why its difficult for a dealer to tell when he will going to deliver the vehicle, considering lot will come from KA and it usually takes 6-7 days in tansit. Considering that in might my Innova must be in transit now, but why these guys not able to tell.

I think production is slow. I suggest just wait and see. More pressure we put they might sell showroom/Test drive piece.

May be they are reworking on changing headlamps to crystal clear ones LOL

Ravi.

Yup you are right, but unfortunately or fortunately they didn't have any V model 8 seater in Grey Mica color in any of their showrooms in Delhi. Even it was not on next list of delivery. Anyways no option left, but have to wait.

sam003 · 5th February 2009, 20:08

Finally after all this drama happened and calls going here and there. TKM added my vehicle in todays lot which they are supposed to shipped to Galaxy. Delivery is due next weekend. I will glad to get that on my Son's Birthday which falls on 14th Feb (Valentine Baby)

, may be day before to take him out somewhere.

abhinav.gupta88 · 5th February 2009, 20:35

You've got 2 reasons to celebrate and to give us a party

All the best.
I know the excitement of a new car is always very much.
Only i know how i slept a few nights before i got my pari

sam003 · 11th February 2009, 15:03

Finally got call from dealer for delivery, lot is expected to reach them tonight and tomorrow around 2 PM they will do the delivery. Will post pics and Delivery experience tomorrow. Guys anything I need to take care specially take delivery for Innova. I have gone through PDI thread and have my checklist with me. No special check for Diesel vechicle, right. As this is my first ever diesel vehicle.

white_vdi · 11th February 2009, 15:10

sam i dont think there is anything specific to be checked for diesel motors.
all the best mate!!!

Might be a good idea to add "Reverse parking sensors" on the Innova. I have those on my Innova and they have been very useful in tight parking situations.

Other than that enjoy your new car, sam003

The VX model already has the reverse parking sensor as factory installed.

Correct me if I'm wrong

Yes in VX model they are factory fitted.

Just wanna know does it make sense to go for over and under body coating. It really help or not. As I read somewhere on net, underbody coating is not required and for paint protection, it hardly stay for few days in Delhi dust env. What do you say guys ?

Hi Sam,

Good choice in going for Toyota Innova. I have a G1 since June 08. I am enjoying every moment i spend in driving it.

Enjoy your ride and drive safe.

Best Regards/Satish Prabhu
