I got a call from a Maruti Dealer in Gurgaon, who told me that price of Ertiga ZDI has increased by ~20 K( Discount got decreased by 5 K and car cost increased by 15K) from Oct first week.

Did anyone heard something like this in other cities as well?

Good to have so many Ertigas in the same mileage range. What a coincidence to have all cars due for service at same time, all of us switching to synthetic oil etc.

Btw, took for a long trip last weekend to Pondy from Coimbatore and back. The cruise was amazing in the highway & returned decent mileage figures too. I certainly felt Ertiga was under powered among the group which comprised Xylo, Vento (D), Figo (D), Rapid (P) & i20 (P). But no complaints as such since it was a conscious choice & I am more than happy with overall performance, flexibility, comfort, space etc. Since I was driving I couldn't take too many pictures.. Will post a few pics tomorrow.
Posting some pictures of my Grey Dolphin taken in recent trip to Pondy..

Yesterday a moron on bike has made a deep but small scratch on left front door. I am feeling very sad about it, however you are careful but cannot expect the same. My car was still in traffic and one guy on bike while maneuvering he scratched it and my pity is that I could not come out and get hold of him.

Anyway will consult M.A.S.S for touch up but I guess they will ask to paint bottom half of door and will ask Rs2500+ taxes.

I got a detail of Trend Body work at Hosur Road near Nissan Surya showroon.

What if I tell you that I've removed maybe hundreds of scratches using "3M Finesse-it"! [:D]
It's gem of a product!
Try it before going to MSS, it merely costs 150bucks.

Thank You Saby, but here issue is that paint has been removed and steel is visisble. I guess he rubbed his bike's foot rest.

BTW, please suggest where can I order this online or is this available in stores.

You can easily get it from any good local car accessory store.
You should try it once, before going to MSS.

Oops. That's very irritating.

My car also one drunk idiot had banged in rear left damaging tail lamp, denting tail gate, deep scratches in bumper etc. Replaced the tail lamp alone though it was only minor damage. Rest of the scratches I left it for now because it hurts more if someone scratches clean car.. [:)]

Hello Friends

I saw my post getting buried deep [roll]
Can anyone add there comments/inputs/suggestions on the price hike by Maruti? I planned to buy LUV ZDI last month, but somehow got delayed, and will try to book one in this month.
Could there be any suggestions to get a better deal from the dealer [glasses]

Mohit, maruti has done a hike to all their cars recently like other car makers. You might get good deal if you can get a Jan or Feb 2013 manufactured LUV. The festive season offers for cars have already started so try to make much of it.

Have given my car for 3rd service today:
1. 10K service - regular checkups & brake cleaning etc
2. Engine oil - decided mineral oil after some deliberation
3. Filters - Oil, Air & AC
4. Complaints - wind noise @ high speeds, middle row seat rattling
5. Asked them not to do wheel alignment and balancing - will be done outside

Estimate - 2K. I am thinking whether to change Air and AC filters now.

What do you guys think of below items.. Should they be replaced or can be done at 20K?

Air filter (~Rs 300) - recommended interval is only 20K, but was thinking of replacement considering dusty driving conditions.

AC filter (~Rs 400) - had installed new one only at 5K. Should I wait till 20K for this too

Yes - Oil Filter must be changed. Also suggest get the Tyres Rotation done.
