I very recently purchased a Wagon R Vxi from Premier Carworld located in Kamarhati, Kolkata. They had home delivered the car to me because I was unable to take the delivery from their showroom due to my immobility. However, there are a few things which I noticed after they delivered the car to me:
a) The odometer showed a reading of 107 Kms, the day the car was delivered to me. The showroom is approx. 10 Kms. away from my home. When I inquired about it, the sales person told me that it was on account of the car being sent to RTO offices in Barackpore and Chinsurah for temporary registration purposes. Also that the car was driven to the showroom from their warehouse which is located outside city limits. Is there any way to verify this?
b) I couldn't locate the manufacturing date stamped or embossed at any place in the car. The 17 digit VIN is not useful siince it doesn't bear any indication to the manufacturing date. I read in some other thread at TAI that for Maruti Suzuki, the manufacturing date is located under the bonnet. Is it so?
c) I had chosen the Combo package being offered by Maruti Suzuki for Wagon R, which included mud flaps and a rear spoiler among other things. Now upon delivery of my car, with these accessories attached, the dealer charged me a sum of INR 1685/- extra (VAT included) saying that the spoiler was originally black in colour and they had to re-colour it to match my car's body colour. The mud flaps were left black itself. I have sought an explanation from Maruti but no word from them yet. How do I cross check my dealer's claim?
d) The following documents were handed over to me along with the car:
i) Sales Invoice
ii) Debit Note
iii) Extended Warrant Certificate and Terms & Conditions
iv) Insurance copy print out
v) Temporary registration xerox copy
vi) Money receipts
vii) Owner's Manual / service Centre list / Warranty for car audio system & reverse parking sensors
Is this all that is provided by the dealers usually?
e) If anybody has purchased from this dealer, could you mention if you received any freebies/complimentary gifts?
f) How much free petrol is given by Maruti dealers at the time of delivery?
