{BUYING THE CAR }
New cars idea came when my brother joined college and needed a car for his daily travel.
Buying and decision making process:
There was really a strong urge to buy a new car. Our criteria was simple car with good fuel efficiency. Daily drive was of 50 KM or more. We only wanted a petrol .We took 1 month for selection of car .Many cars were on our list as follow –
1) Honda Brio
+Honda
+Reliability
+Fuel Efficient
+Good after sales and spare part
-Space, Rear space.
-Simple Features missing
Almost finalized but cancelled .
2) Toyota Liva
+Toyota
+Never owned a Toyota
+Space
-Many
Did not do much research but read some reviews which were full of negatives so cancelled.
3)Maruti Suzuki Swift
+Owned 2 maruti 800 (1st gen 2 times), Ran for lakhs of Kilometers.
+Good after sales service,Reliability.
-Rear Space, No simple features like stereo etc .
Almost finalized but cancelled (Don’t exactly remember why)
4) Hyundai i10
+Hyundai Reliability (Ran Zantro more than 1 Lakh)
-Poor Mileage, i20 better
5) Hyundai i20
+Hyundai
+Features
+Enjoyed car ,Space
-Mileage
Decided on Hyundai i20
Booked car on 20th July. Got delivery on 27th July . Color was to be chosen Between White and Silver .Silver was opted due to many reasons.
Variant choosing was difficult
We opted Magna (0) as price difference was much and didn’t had Knowlegde about Benefit of ABS ,Airbag .
The final on road price was five lakh fifty thousand. Booking process was good but In RC they created a problem .Wrote wrong name and needed to complete many formalities again .It was brought from MGF Hyundai. It has run till 12000 KM in 1year 8 months. 2 services have done. It is 70%chaffured and rest by my father and Brother.
