I am pretty happy to announce that we finally brought home , the Swift VXI 2008 model @ 2.9 L in here at Hyderabad. [:D]
After a prolonged search through various websites and friends and some help from TAI too, zeroed this car through olx and after a 2 week long negotiations , brought the car by checking it with the Maruti true value mechanic . [clap]


I would upload more pics asap in the day light and try to get all the corners.

I am planning to give it for service in the next week and seek some thrill before it.
I am thinking to get side beedings , reverse camera ....
I would like some suggestions from the experts here since I am a plain novice in these aspects .
Let me know if I have to be careful with something and have to know about something in advance before going on a smooth ride !!

Ok that has way crossed for its check and replace time. The brake fluid, timing belt, radiator fluids, Tyres, front and rear suspensions. Have them checked and replaced if recomended by service advisors. Happy riding

Hey hi and thank you , I live in Nallakunta actually 3 km away [:)]

Swifts are pretty high here in Hyderabad and you might get it around 2.7-2.8 for a good conditon here if you bargain with the same parameters of mine.

I think for 2008 model with 66k in ODO,2.9L is pretty high.Congratulation for your red hot swift.
Thank you[:)]
mmm... People here said the same thing , but the maruti guy who we knew and checked the car suggested we could go until 2.9 L for our vehicle and thus we did [roll] .
Anyways , I don't have any regrets for that price

And people from Hyd , I request you to suggest me some good and feasible car decors here since I want to revamp the look of my' Rudiraha ' [ Blood red horse ] i.e. my blood red swift !
I would like to fit a reverse camera , spoilers , side beedings and some extra fttings

Ministers road got numerous decors I presume !

You could get projector headlamps and smoked tail lamps.Does instrument cluster have a tachometer?If not you can fit an after market tachometer.The tachometer from the Maruti Ritz, will work on your Swift.

You can get body kits for your Swift to make it look like the Swift GTI.Try to get ones made in metal rather than fiberglass.

The cost varies depending on the quality.Why don't you try the places that were suggested in the earlier posts and inquire about the availability locally, if you have troubles sourcing them post back and we will try to help you.
