Ask dealer if he could allot the car from recent month. Do thorough PDI and decide accordingly.

The dealer says that this is the latest vehicle available with them. As it come from Pune to Kolkata, it takes time.
After doing the PDI, I found that there is nothing objectionable. Even the protective plastic lamination on doors(both Inside & outside), the seats, bumpers, chromes, Registration plate are is intact. There is no wear and tear on tires also. Only thing is ODO is 189 KM with AVG displaying 20.8 kmpl for a Revrtron XT.
The SA said that their Yard is in between Singur and Durgapur, thats the reason for it.

So, shall I go ahead?

Hi Friends, Update : How to check when the car was dispatched from Maruti to dealer. Today he again gave me the the VIN of the car and that says car is Jul 2015 manufactured. But he is saying the car was dispatched by Maruti in Nov 2015 and reached them today. How to validate that he is not lying. I think they are trying to make a fool of me. Pls give me your inputs. How it would be if I approach Consumer Court? Also can some Lawyers on TAI guide : How frustrating would be for me to file PIL against car manufacturers and dealers for the court to direct them to display and confirm. Car manufacturing date to the customer upon full payment and before registration by law? I am okay to keep my 11Lakhs locked with Maruti dealer, if such PIL could be filed by me / on my behalf. What are the ways, how much could be the cost? Can a registered letter to Chief Justice and President of India consider this issue as Real Indian consumers issue and address it? I am no legal brain, but definitely the one who wants the law to help him.
