Happy to share the details of my booking as well :)

Expected Delivery Date : 16 May 2012

We had never imagined this would be our first car, but it is!

Expected Delivery Date : 17-18th May, 2012

Here's hoping the RTO delays cease (registration to take 3-4 days and yesterday they couldn't because of some strike) and we get our car :)

Make sure you get something else in place of sun films, you cannot install, now that the SC has passed judgement banning them.:Frustrati

I took delivery of my TSI on 28th May 2011.

Thanks Santoshbhat. Yeah lucky I am in Goa. Fuel is cheaper by at least 10 bucks :uncontrol from the rest of the country. As of today its @ Rs.63/ltr in Panjim city. My first fill after delivery will relieve my pockets by Rs.3150/- @ 50 ltrs.:D

THe same 50 ltrs costs me Rs. 4,075/- here in Bangalore and I still don't regret buying the TSI over the TDi :cool:

What exactly dealer does when we pay booking amount and we book a car?
I did a brio smt o booking today, dealer agreed to refund entire amount if I cancel it for any reason.
Wondering what is going on..any thoughts?

Booking amount is the token money which we give to the dealer to assure that we are buying the car, it is with dealer only and if we cancel the booking they return it to the customer. I remember in year 2000 my dad cancelled the booking of Alto 1.1 and our booking amount was refunded the same day (Rs. 5000).

Booking amount is not any extra payment and is included in your car's on road price.

My vRS arrived yesterday at the dealers late evening.:)
Went and had a quick dekho as soon as I was informed. Tomorrow is "D" day.

After nearly booking the WagonR cng, dropped the whole cng idea, and fell for the Brio!!

Booked a SWIFT VDi yesterday for the family and younger cousins. Details below

Dealer: Vitesse, Worli - Mumbai
Model: Swift VDi
Color: White (Pearl)
Ex Showroom Price: 6,21,150/- (Mumbai)
RTO and Incidental Charges: 70,052/-
Insurance: 16,557/- (Self)
Depot Charges: 6340/-
Accessories Free: Mudflaps and Matting
Exchanged Car: Chevrolet Optra 1.6 Base 2004 Single Owner
Exchange Value 1,10,000/-
Total Onroad Cost: 7,14,099/- (excluding exchange)
Delivery Date: 4th June 2012

I was shocked when I saw the price list of the Swift. I had bought a Swift VDi in 2008 for 5.8lakhs (OTR). The car is now nearly 1.3lakhs more expensive.
Was in a good mood to argue and fight about the incidental and depot charges, but since the Swift VDi is such a high demand car and we are getting the car on immediate delivery basis I resisted. The dealer informed me that the Depot Charges are Maruti Suzuki charges and I could take up the issue with them and they would support me if they can.

Congratulations on your booking. Am very very surprised at such a short delivery time for a Swift Diesel in Mumbai. I had heard wait times of upto 8 months for diesel cars.

3days to go!

The Swift VDi is now available off the shelf. The ZDi and some D'zire models have a 2 - 6 month waiting period.
