Tata Zest Quadrajet XT (Buzz Blue): Ownership Review

[samipra]

From which dealer have you booked? How was the dealer interaction experience?

From Concorde motors, Dairy circle. SA is good and interactive as he is promised me to deliver by Nov End, he insisted me to pay money so that they can order Early, but simply i said no. Until I get the VIN no I wont pay. He told he will verify and let me know for colors in TML. Okeyed for the other Insurance for bumper to bumper.
Overall it is good response from them. Hope everything goes fine !!!!

Thanks for the reply. There are posts in this forum about not so great user experience from Concorde Dairy circle. That's why I asked.

Even my SA at AutoVikas has called me twice asking about money so that he can confirm the order, but I simply said no.

I have clearly told him that I will do PDI and that too at Stockyard and only after I have seen Form 22, I will pay and not a single penny will be paid before then other than booking amount.

Hi DD,

If you are considering my experience its not from Dairy circle rather Concorde Mysore road.

Yes you have done right thing. Even my case after booking the SA told same thing but i said no. After paying money then we wont have any control and we all know the TATA sales experience is not good as others.

Quick Query - what is form 22 ? so all you want to say is we can hold full payment or loan disbursement till PDI ? if that's true, wonderful.

Yes, we can hold payment until PDI as I have done. My loan has already been cleared by Bank of Baroda and they are waiting for my confirmation to issue DD. My dealer has called me 2-3 times now about payment but my standard reply every time is let the car come to your stockyard, I will inspect it and then only I will tell my bank to issue DD in your favor.

In Form 22" certificate (issued by the manufacturer), you will find the engine/chassis numbers on this certificate, while the month/year of manufacture are on the "road-worthiness" certificate (part of Form 22).

For new cars, the roadworthiness certificate is issued by the car’s manufacturer and can be obtained from the dealership. The certificate is valid for 15 years and is then renewable every five years.

The certificate is awarded after a car has undergone certain tests for “roadworthiness” – the extent to which a vehicle meets the standard requirements for safe driving on open roads.

As promised in the first post, I've made a video review on the Entertainment system in the XT model of Zest. Please have a look at the below link.

Harish can you tell me if the infotainment system can pair with multiple phones at the same time??
One of my bundled bluetooth headsets used to be able to do that with mine and wife's smartphones.

All the paired devices will be shown in list.
And from the list, I guess we can connect phone functionality of one phone and music of another.
I didnt try that. But looking at the settings, I think it is possible. I will try and update you on that.

[Harish83]

What is the cost of seat cover?

Seat Cover + Floor carpet, I did for 6800.

Seat cover alone will cost around 5100.

Thanks
I have booked platinum silver Zest at AutoVikas, Dwarka .I had wanted Blue color but as my dad will be driving it mostly so it would be too sporty for an old man

Hoping that Zest will live up to my expectation. Now I will compare it with my Hyundai verna diesel AT. So it will be AT vs AMT
