After seeing many cars, i've finally finalised the 2005 Baleno Lxi silver color[:D]. After to talking to many dealers and knowing the market price of Baleno, i got the car. The price was rs.3,10,000. I took the delivery yesterday evening, did some pooja and had a blast after wards. It was raining yesterday, but the handling and grip was superb, so do the steering feel. Brakes are confidence inspiring. Now, its the mileage that i'm little worried(after getting 19-20kpl for a kitre of diesel in Swift). Hope i'd get over it soon. I've attached few pics that was taken last week. Will soon post a review soon with more pics.
Now, what are the things to be done, as soon as we get an used car?

Thank you all for helping me out, throughout the entire process. [cheers]

The car looks its in good state.
As you live in Coimbatore you get a good car , also with good body condition. Surprisingly no alloys in a Coimbatore car.

Congrats for the new ride.

Only once i have driven a baleno , that too long back. It had a good driving position .
Eagerly waiting for your ownership report.

Change the name in RC as well as in insurance.
My suggesion , after a change in both the papers , take the car for a ride.

A change in either of one paper and getting caught is a big problem.

Change in insurance cost rs50/- , where as ownership transfer cost rs100/- in rto
As usual you need to give bribe , In rto alone you need to give rs 1000/- .
But as you know the recent arrests in rto's may help you to clear without any bribes!

Change in insurance can be done only after a change in the rc book.

Congratulation Crazy.

So whens the party ?

As you have bought it from a dealer the first thing will be take her to a garage or SS & just do a regular servicing if needed.
