Team-BHP - The "I Booked my Car" Thread

Make : Mahindra
Model : Bolero
Variant : LX 4x4
Fuel : Diesel
Booking Date : 10 December 2011
Color : White
Expected Delivery Date : 2 to 3 Months
Dealer & City : Royal Motors, Calcutta
Freebies : NONE
Others : No discount

There is absolutely no discount on the Bolero LX 4x4. There were only 2 colour options - White and Silver. I went for white. OTR price is Rs. 6,71,xxx. This may vary according to the dealer as per the price point at the time of delivery.

Folks, I finally booked the Quartz Black Aria Pure.
Should have it with me in a couple of weeks once all the formalities are done.

Thanks to @ACM and others for providing me with their valuable feedback.

Time for me to start a new thread once I get it.

Cheers

Though skeptical, I have gone ahead & booked Fiesta diesel CLXI. Expect delivery this weekend. Intend to be on a long drive next weekend- any thoughts on what I need to take care of pre-delivery?

I have already seen the car in the stock yard, there was not much space between cars so could not get a good look. Started two cars & chose the one that shook less when I turned the key! the one I chose also has good year tyres when compared to MRF that most of the other cars get. I've opted for white despite a few of my freinds calling it a taxi.

The interiors are not that great with a very weird blue covering the bottom half of the doors.

Look forward to Ford 5 spoke (split) alloys, hopefully the dealer will give me fogs and sports pedals, the pedals look pretty neat.

Very eagerly waiting for the car & inputs you guys may have. I hope I've made the right choice...

Strange - why should a car shake when started and that too a Fiesta. Never heard of this.

Well you are lucky, just ensure that the tyres are new and not ones that have been replaced since most of the Fiesta do come with MRF only.

Can you mention about the OTR price, discounts offered, dealer etc.

I am surprised at both the facts as Facelift model was launched on 14th and mentioned as bookings started only after launch.
As regards mentioning of fuel used by Honda vehicles, I don't think it requires any specific mention as we all know about it.

:-) Its a pre-facelift car. Thanks for your wishes! Will start an ownership thread in a few weeks with lots of pics!

P.S. This is my first post via the supercool t-bhp android app.

Slightly O.T. The delivery person mentioned that the diesel city when it comes will co-incide with a significant body revision similar to NHC->ANHC. Not really sure if that is true.
