Maruti Suzuki Ertiga ZDi Bought: Ownership Review

[sunny2525]

Hey sunny, many many congratulation for your new acquisition. It is indded a very good car & you will enjoy it. You decided on car & got it delivered the same day?

Thanks Cruiser.

Yes I finalised the car yesterday morning only. Then went to the dealer gave him the down payment and called my loan agent. He sent the DO to the dealer and I got my car in the evening .

Today my loan agent will come to my office and then I'll sign the loan papers . Though the dealer didn't give me the second key. I will get that after the loan is sanctioned.

Thanks for the info. Will use synthetic only. Seems to be a more safer bet. As a fact i use synthetic oil for my safari , fabia, figo but was not too sure if its required there also as at TATA ABS during my last service the supervisor mentioned that i could have used normal oil and car would have been running equally fine. Hence the confusion.

Also kindly help with some approx cost related to the service (3rd service / 10,000 km). I have absolutely no clue how a Suzuki is on maintainance but have just heard that its superbly economical.

Thanks Jarpickle.

I've gone through both the threads one night before purchasing the car and reading these threads had more than 60% influence on my decision of purchasing this car.

@cruiser..... You can say it a fast delivery. I always call my agent in the morning which car I need and the car is delivered to my house when I reach home from the office in the evening. But this time, I was very excited as it is my first 7 seater so I went myself to take the delivery. It takes really long time to get the delivery.

@sunny2525:Just remember to follow the break in period religiously, no crossing 100kmph till 1000kms.Get the oil+filter change done once you cross the first 1000kms and then you can drive freely.

 

[sunny2525]

Ya I know Jarpickle. Its really hard to keep it under 100, I am thinking of going on a holiday to complete the 1000 kms fast.

I am having problems in reversing it. Can't see properly the area at back. I think I have to install reverse parking sensors or a camera. I was selling them till now online but never used them so I think now its time to use the reverse parking sensors.

Hey rohit i just checked out with my friend he is having dusky brown zxi with alloys readily available & he is ready to register it in pune & deliver you, so if you interested than do let me knw. give me ur contact details so that we can be in touch regarding it & if you have any other specific color choice than let me know ill ask him.

Hi Cruiser,
Again thanks for the efforts and the offer. But, luckily, I got it from 3rd Dealer. Original booking person did not take the delivery. Good for me.
Went saw the vehicle physically, checked the VIN and its June 2013 date. It has just landed in stockyard.
So, I have given it a go ahead and its in process.

Same which I had always wanted - G. Gray ZXI with Alloy Wheels.
Plus this dealer is offering 8K worth of MGA accessories free.

And dealer No 2 is refunding my advance quickly as well.
