hey Folks - this post has been way long overdue ! been an observer on this brilliant Forum for ages .....have helped a lot more of friends, family , collegues , based on information from this forum.

Great work guys and the community which keeps it ticking.

Its been a while we have been cosidering to buy a new auto, and finally decided on the XUV 500 - W8. this one meets all our needs for in city driving and the frequent outings the family has.

the date to watch out was 8th june, when the bookings opened , and the wife (shall we call the BOSS), was at the showroom to book the beast!

The RM was a pleasant guy, a chap named Sameer , who walked through the process, mentioned the points at which the messages will be sent.

So as of now, we are waiting for an aniticipated date of delivery. have followed up with the india garage guys and i am told, they are in the equal state of helpless ness as I. :Frustrati

Wanted to check with the larger group here, in terms of experiences earlier - is this normal? ( the last time i bought a car, about 7 years back - paid cash and drove home clap:)

I just dont want to be put on the last of the list - is there a way to get on the top of the list , the right way.

Hi People,

I am about to book Sx4 celebration model, but the only apprehension i have its color is 2 tone (white and blue). The concern is in case there are any touch ups in the long run, will the Maruti Dealer will be able to match the color?

Will sincerly appreciate your kind inputs.

as advised on this forum, i pushed them for a committment, either a VIN number or car's serial number etc. Syed , the team lead in India garage made a few calls and finally got the car alloted to me. this is a june 2012 manufactured vehicle.

what followed later was a long pursuit of the Bankers (more of that later), but finally i got a call earlier today that the decks have been cleared and the registration of XUV should be done tommorow and delivery on Wednesday.

Cant wait for Wednesday now - will update with the delivery experience and the pics and initial review later.

You would in my opinion should stay away from these limited additions. This twin color thing may excite now but a couple of years down the line, you may start thinking otherwise. Try and get a cash discount and buy whats coming inside in celebration offer.

Maruti as it is not very negative about warranty even if you put the accessories from outside.

All the best and go with your heart. Ur mind has already done a good job by choosing VDI (diesel you know).

Thats Great news. Congrats. Understand you booked on 8th June and delivery is round the corner. I booked mine on 11th june and still no updates from company or dealer (sterling gurgaon). I wish for a similar call now.

Anyways just tell me were you calling them up regularly and if that helped? Or they are fair in delivery process without followups also?

Congrats once again ,infact the battle half won.

Upgrading tyres would void your suspension warranty. I wanted Yoko A drives 185/60/14 on my Figo, but S.A Mr.Syed in Cauvery Ford advised me not to go for it.

Can you specify the reason fro your unhappiness with the tyre size? IMO you should keep the same tyre size and instead go for the Michelins over the OEM (MRF I guess).
