Re: Cheated !!!!!
Dear Ravi,Car is a big buy in terms of money value next to house only.So,you must be very very careful while purchasing a car,anyhow better be careful here afterwards. In this case,your car is new one,because the car is sold to you and registered in your name.Indeed it is a old one,if you consider the months lapsed from the manufacturing date(MAY 2012). But as per law it is not old,because you are the first owner.Only possibility of getting some relief then you have to fight with dealer by arguments and get some accessories free. As for as i know that is the only solution available. Assess the car for any damage and what is the ODO reading on the date of purchase. If it showed abnormally high ODO reading then there is a strong case for litigation.Otherwise plead your case and get some accessories free from dealer(I dont think Maruti can help in this regard).

G = 2016

Thanks for your reply, but the dealer has provided me with these details only. The vehicle is yet to arrive at the dealeship,expecting it by 27th DEC'12, then probably i would be able to check the full VIN. Apart from this, i have a query which to me is quite hard to beleive in. May be you can help. My alloted vehicles vin is MBJ11JV5105030887 and I have came across a vin MBJ11JV5105028572-0412 which is April'12 manufacture while surfing on other forums. As the vins are identical till the 12th character, if you substract the last 5 digits (30887-28572) it comes out 2315 vehicles. As far as i know Toyota sells 1200 Fortuners on an average every month. And if I go by the numbers then I think I would be getting a vehicle which would be June'12 model. Whats your take on this.
