Well I joined this forum at the wee end of 2017 when I started looking for another car. Did buy one A TATA Tiago XZA, Excellant car as per me for the budget, But my Wifey who was the owner and intended driver (in fact practiced driving in it and even she would say it is good, but the issue started when the new swift made the grand entry in Market. All eyes simply shifted to that, IN between one of her colleagues wanted to buy their first car and when the offer came we just gave up. After all if she wants it she must have it Right?.
So a few words about Tiago here, It does what it says, WOW factor however does not exsist. It is good, made for purpose and built well. In fact the Tiago seems to be the best car in it's class at least to drive, It drives well, handles potholes better than anything I have seen in the segment, Have a nice fuel efficiency in its segment, Does have to explain to every Tom, dick, harry and Ganesh, George, leila and literally everyone else as to why you bought a TATA though.
After disposing off the Tiago we were this time sure of what we want. So there were absolutely no choices around. As decided by the twin Bhabi/Nanad team (both are university proffessors, so no arguments here.) The only consideration was which Bank the loan will come from. Since My wifes salaries are all done with SBI we decided it will be easier,It took about a day to get the loan passed and the amount was promised to be released when we tell them.
With all the resources in pocket On 30th June 2018 we booked our new swift. I was sure which colour. It is going to be gold or silver, since Maruti has no gold this time it was SILKY SILVER, That did it.
As for booking well no problem , we have Popular Vehicles very near to us, called them , took the customary TD (I said we dont need since my sister already gave the car for a few days to drive, the same model), But the sales guy insisted on TD so got his car here at home, more than driving he wanted to explain how the orvm folds and door locks and how good the crap Panasonic stock music system sounds. (just decided I need to change that one. SO asked him how much he will buy back the thing for, Got 6K for that happy lol, But speakers sounded good enough so only the HU was offered for sale by me)
Well we paid Rs. 11,000/- cash and asked him when will he deliver the thing He said July 25 and we accepted, Just told him I want JULY 2018 manufactured car only. Said ok
