New Car Buying - Some Basic Questions

[icecool2010]

Hi All,
I moved to India and have booked a Vento Automatic which I should take delivery next week.
A few questions for a first time buyer in India:
1) The car odometer shows 32 kms. Is this normal for a new car? What is the accepted tolerance here?
2) On delivery of the car - What documents is required from my side? I can think of the following:
Address Proof, Identity Proof, Photograph- Anything else?
3) On delivery of the car - What documents is required to be given to me by the dealer?
4) How many litres of petrol does the dealer normally give with a new car?

If there is a link, which gives details of Do's and Don'ts of new car buying - please point me to it.

Thanks,

1) The car odometer shows 32 kms. Is this normal for a new car? What is the accepted tolerance here?

Tolerane is up to 50kms becuase the yard will be somewhere out of city & they have to drive it for registration & back to showroom for delivery. And FYI, they also disconnect speedo wires for keeping the readings lesser than 50kms.

2) On delivery of the car - What documents is required from my side? I can think of the following:
Address Proof, Identity Proof, Photograph- Anything else?
3) On delivery of the car - What documents is required to be given to me by the dealer?

As Akash mentioned check the list

4) How many litres of petrol does the dealer normally give with a new car?

You can demand for Full tank of petrol. If you are lucky enough you will get it. Usually it will be 7-10ltrs of petrol/diesel.

Happy Motoring!!

Thanks,

1) The car odometer shows 32 kms. Is this normal for a new car? What is the accepted tolerance here? - 32 Km is fine. Mine was 42km. If it is more than 50 ask about it.
2) On delivery of the car - What documents is required from my side? I can think of the following:
Address Proof, Identity Proof, Photograph- Anything else? - On Delivery I don't think you need to provide any such document. You need to keep recipts and other documents given by dealer.

3) On delivery of the car - What documents is required to be given to me by the dealer? - see list http://www.theautomotiveindia.com/fo...ction-pdi.html


4) How many litres of petrol does the dealer normally give with a new car?

- I got 10 liters. It changes dealer by dealer and no rule for that.

If there is a link, which gives details of Do's and Don'ts of new car buying - please point me to it.

Congrats for your Vento. Wish happy miles ahead.

4) How many litres of petrol does the dealer normally give with a new car?

Since it is PETROL, you can demand a full tank + additional fuel coupons for atleast a month. just kidding.

It depends on the dealer and yes, it always depend on how we negotiate with them.
