Yeah, I'll Give you some Quick checks list from My point of view:

Check the Roof As its nearly 6 Months old, There might be some bird droppings, In my swift, It got stained, Its slightly coming of, it has reduced than how it was at the delivery time, But after nearly 3 and a half year, So keep an eye on that, Then Tyres Check what brand they car, check the alloys whether its damaged, These are the main points, And if possible takes a paint repair person, As some dealers might have repaired the car from damage and repainted it, They would sell it silently, Not Kidding seriously, 3M Car care owner is a friend of mine and he said this to me that this issue has happened to a customer of his, when the customer took his new S-Cross Delivered. So Keep an eye on that.

And there is a checklist Available on TAI Am Adding a link for the same Down below make sure to check it out, Read it thoroughly bro, It has all the detail on what are all needed to be checked.

Thanks Sir!!! It would really help.

Welcome bro, Pleasure's mine, And keep your new car progress updated here.





Hi Friends,
UPDATE:

1.Car has crossed his 3rd milestone of 3,000Km really happy about it.

2.2nd Row Accessory Socket is not working, Yesterday used didn't work it was my first time using the 2nd row accessory socket, I think the wiring could have got loose contact when the dealer removed the handbrake panel to fit the arm-rest.

Overall in this 5 months of ownership, Nothing to complain about the car, Its super spacious, Enough powered, Delivers a Great mileage, Very Low maintenance, Gives a very Comfortable drive.

Am Very happy that we chose this car over all other car's in the market.

ODO Currently at:3,078Km

Mileage:19.7Kmpl(MID)

But, when i checked my fuel log, as per my fuel log entries it shows am getting 19.2Kmpl in city! So the MID Avg is So Close to the actual mileage, That means MID's AVG Works perfectly.

Some Pics:
The Stunning Yet Elegant Front End.





Its Actually big, And Sleek Lovely Design!

The Beautiful rear The chrome make the car look wider, and luxurious



The 3,000Km Milestone

Currently ODO's At:

My Fuel Logs Shown Fuel Efficiency!

At the end of the day:
PROUD AND HAPPY OWNER OF MARUTI ERTIGA!!!

No Bro, Not Ertiga But Basically new diesel engine's sound loud compared to the used Diesel engines, Even mine was loud the engine sound gradually reduce in running and in and after 10K Engine Oil Service Nothing to worry, Also i would recommend you to use Synthetic oil, it would be costly but the results is definitely worth it, The response from engine and gear will be so smooth, and the engine sound will also be reduced. And Congrats Again on your new Family member, The Ertiga!!!

Incase any help needed in Creating ownership thread Do not hesitate to PM Me

Thanks I'm bit busy going here and there in new car so the review will take time. 2Nd row passangers (mom and dad) complaining about comfort in not too bad road, they say they feel jumpy. Have to check tyre pressure. Yet to sit in last row....

Thanks @FordFiesta1.6 I would definitely download this. Meanwhile I am uploading pics of my today's visit to the Maruti Stock Yard for Ertiga 2016 model. If you notice anything doubtful, please let me know. Overall it looked good to me. Hoping to close the deal tomorrow.

Perfect color for ertiga!! But don't buy anything less than 50k discount. Maybe you should get upto 1 lac discount considering it's 2016 make. Bargain... Bargain..

Bro the car is in perfect condition, I checked the pictures closely twice, Nothing wrong i think you can proceed with this car, And in discount i would say ask 10K in accessories and the default maruti's Offer for ertiga, And what dealer told of giving standardly for the 2016 Model. that would be perfect.

And did you check the roof bro?

Yes Granite grey is one of the perfect shades for ertiga, And bro no way that the dealer would give 50K as anyways the ertiga is a In demand model, They definitely won't agree and 1L No Way, Even if it is a 2016 Model. Don't Get me Wrong Just My Point of View bro. I think even 30K Min off would be a good deal for ertiga.

If its just 30k then best is to settle for 2017 manufactured.
Atleast 50k discount should be there if one is buying 2016 model.

 

[vikasrohit]

And did you check the roof bro?

Yes, but not from the top. I observed it from my height (6ft ). I think it is okay. Still I would recheck it on the delivery date.

Yep, I started with 1 lac as Honda was giving me 1 lac discount, as exchange bonus, for 2016 model. Even Volkswagen was giving 10% discount for 2016 model. However, Maruti is in demand everywhere and they don't have to look towards customers. Customers has look towards Maruti Dealers. The dealer I talked, is saying 6-8 weeks waiting period for Ertiga.

For 2017 model, they are giving only 10k as consumer offer. For 2016 model they are giving 10k as consumer offer and I have managed to get 35k cash discount plus leather seat covers as discount for old make year. It seems it is final offer which can offer. Dealer is now creating pressure that they already have another buyer for that who is going to book it by 4th April.

ok atleast settle for 35k +leather seats + the accessories you wish . This sums up nearly 60k approx. Thats good. If he don't agree just grab whatever he gives. But make sure the vehicle is not too old (they don't produce any vehicle in december, so november made is good)

OMG Bro That's a good deal, I would say Freeze it and proceed to other purchasing formalities, As you said You got a good offer for your Brio too, And it's tough to Get a Ertiga this quick, out of White and silver colours (Even they are in waiting period in ertiga.). Again that's really a good deal, You've got 51K of offer (Approx) as The 35K Dealer Cash Benefit + Maruti Offer of 10K + MGA Seat Cover cost 6K=51k. I got 6K In accessories from dealer after a week of bargain, Straight. So freeze it!

ok atleast settle for 35k +leather seats + the accessories you wish . This sums up nearly 60k approx. Thats good. If he don't agree just grab whatever he gives. But make sure the vehicle is not too old (they don't produce any vehicle in december, so november made is good)

Yes bro, That's Awesome, Its Minimum 51K of Offer. Its a august 2016 Made Ertiga Bro, And for its age It looks so new! And he wants the car ASAP, As he got a Good deal for his current ride Brio. Anyways Vikas bro, Thats awesome, Congrats on your best Offer and Advance Congratulations on the Best In Segment Car "Ertiga".

Reply to @GauthamJ

Bro Agreed, But It Too Tough to make the dealer to agree for 50K, As the dealer's are like if you're not buying it, We have more Other Customers to buy the ertiga, But anyways Vikas Bro Got 50K Of offer, That's Great, And am happy. But if it was some other car which sells low then they would be literally calling us daily saying that "What's your offer sir we can definitely make it, And when can we book?" This has happened to me. Thankfully my Ertiga Dealer (ABT Maruti) were not that Rude to me.

No bro, they are not ready to negotiate more. They are just stuck at 35k + seat cover. No further accessories.

Manufacturing month, year is Aug, 2016.
