Got a pretty smashing deal! Waiting for my little white puppy!

Thats a good deal. Bombay has free Honda Insurance + 5000k corporate discounts. Sure one can haggle around another 5k accesories once on the table.

Suggest you to get body colored door handles and mirrors on delivery. Should cost about 3k. It completes the barren look on the E variant.

Damm Honda for not offering the Blue and Red on the lower variants.

Instead of UV body coating, check if you can swap with 3M or similar anti rust coating with 5 year warranty. This is more worth.

On Road Price was Rs 405,966.00 as on their website.

What I got was : Rs 20000.00 + 15000.00 = Rs35000.00
+Rs 25000.00 Discount.
Total discount comes to Rs 60000.00
Plus they also gave me an audio system 'Kenwood KDC-U349'

I took the delivery today only.

Make : Renault
Model : Duster
Variant : RXL 110
Fuel : Diesel
Booking Date : Early Dec, 2012
Color : Woodland Brown
Expected Delivery Date : God knows when
Dealer & City : Trident Renault, Whitefield, Bangalore

The dealer offered me a delivery in the last week of Dec, which I did not accept for personal reasons. I have mentioned that I need a 2013 manufactured one, and as usual no knowing of when the car will be available!

Maruti has hiked prices of its cars across its models by up to Rs. 20,000/-

I am yet to get the revised price list for the ZDi which i had zeroed in on.

Turned out, that there was a Dec 2012 Ritz VDi in stock in the color of my choice (breeze blue) so the salesperson at Mandovi suggested i book it immediately to avail the old rate. He said the ex-showroom price (old price) will be guaranteed if i book but road taxes, etc. will apply accordingly at the time of delivery (immediate i was told).

So booked the VDi yesterday with 5k amount. I am awaiting the revised pricing on the ZDi and if it's not a significant increase i can change the booking to ZDi and the car will be delivered in Feb end of March this yr.

I should know by today or tomorrow depending on which i will go with the ZDi or initiate the lease plan on the VDi.

Make : Maruti Suzuki
Model : Ritz
Variant : VDi
Fuel : Diesel
Booking Date : 16th Jan 2013
Color : Breeze Blue
Expected Delivery Date : Immediate

Finally the car has arrived at the dealership. I have just now done the PDI and everything looks good. Would be taking the delivery next week.

In the midst of all the diesel bookings, here's a whiff of fresh air.

Expected Delivery Date : 18th Jan 2013, but that's long gone. :(

The wait is killing me. There appears to be plenty of Vdi's arriving, but no VVTs.

Hi Vineet. Its been almost a month that I have got the car. Have clocked 1800 kms and its heaven! Its an amazing car. :)

Will PM you the details of the deal.

Make : Maruti
Model : Swift
Variant : ZXI
Fuel : Petrol
Booking Date : 3rd Feb 2013
Color : Pearl crystal white
Expected Delivery Date : Roughly 2 weeks (Dealer said the car is already in transit!)
Dealer & City : My car, Pune (Though I heard a few negative reviews about the dealer, my experience was totally different compared to Sai service and Chowgule where the sales guys hardly had any time to give me personal attention and follow-ups. I am positive about my experience with my car and hopefully everything will work out. I'll post a detailed experience post delivery.)
