I have booked Ertiga ZDI superior white today and waiting for the delivery date. SA told me the car may be delivered on 30th September. I am waiting for ERTIGA!
Fast forward, in 2011 March I booked ALTO K10 from Sai Service, Erragada, Hyderabad. The sales agent was not a professional guy and he gave me 2010 November vehicle. But since I was in need of a car, I just bought it and the experience was completely unpleasant with Sai Service.
It was driven 45K and I sold this car for 2.47 lacs today morning (22 Sep 2014). Yesterday (21 Sep 2014) 3PM I posted this ad in internet and a person called up introducing his name as Bala and showed interested to buy my car and today everything got finalized and I sold my car to him. The car was in pristine condition, just like new from showroom. I loved this car so MUCH and kept it without a dent or scratch. The overall ownership of this car in 3 years 6 months was really good.
While everything was going good, in 2012 I noticed Ertiga on road first time and yes, it was love at first sight. I was ready to sell my ALTO K10 to buy Ertiga since it impressed me a lot. However, ALTO K10 car loan was not closed, so it was not worth to re-sale the car with the loan as I need to bear more loss. So I waited for 2 years to close my loan. Recently my wife and I were in discussion to sell ALTO k10, she quickly said "Yes." WOW! What a surprise because she was refusing to sell ALTO K10 (it was in her name!!!). Since she said yes to change the car, then I thought to sell my ALTO K10. With heavy heart I posted ad in internet and got genuine response from gentleman who was searching for a good car. When he saw my car, he immediately said yes to finalize the car. After all processing done, he was completely happy with my car.
New car process began...
I had some requirements to be met for my new car
1. It must be 5+ seater car, because occasionally extended families will visit us, so needed 7 seater.
2. I drive 3000KM easily for our hometown trip. (Hyderabad - Coimbatore - Cochin - Coimbatore - Hyderabad).
3. It must be comfortable to my wife and aged parents to sit.
4. Mileage must be good.
5. A reliable diesel engine since I thought to keep it for longer period.
6. Above all, my budget was around 10 lacs and only few cars are available with this budget that suit my requirements.
I called up Sai Service again and told sales agent that I am going to book Ertiga; Salesman Shashi came on time to get booking confirmed. He was a nice guy who helped my friend to purchase the Dzire also. He has given complete details of the car with discounts and freebies. So I decided to confirm my booking by paying 5k. After I paid, he mentioned the car is already in transit which will reach Hyderabad on 28th September. I was thinking whether to go with the discounts he has provided for September month or should I wait for October month discounts from dealer. Just bit confused.
Could not get sleep without a correct decision. He gave me 25K discount for September 2014. but for October (festival season) not sure what will be the discounts. I am leaning to towards to take delivery in October so I may expect more cash discounts.
