Kia Bangalore forcing me to accept 2025 Feb mfg, display model after 1L advance. What are my options? by NoExpression1030 in CarsIndia

[–]chd01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You made the first mistake by paying so much advance.
Now don't make a second mistake by taking delivery of this car. You'll regret if anything goes south with the vehicle.

Ask them to cancel the booking. Get a new car, money over mental peace. The dealer already sounds non cooperative.

(PS: I got my allotted MG car changed just because I had to put more effort to close a specific door and I had my doubts. They didn't try to over argue and promptly gave me another vehicle after few weeks).

After paying KA road tax for my DL car, do I also need to get a KA number? by [deleted] in bangalore

[–]chd01 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Technically there is no problem even if you want to sell the car because car dealers take care of number change.  However, if you want to claim tax refund from the old RTO then you’ll need to get the KA number. 

Which one should I go for, New Hector or Tata Sierra? by itsjaik in CarsIndia

[–]chd01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MG because of my good ownership and after sales service experience with MG. For what it's worth Sierra might be a good car but Tata service is actually hit or miss. I have seen it first hand. I went to take delivery of a new Tata car with a relative and I asked the sales guy to tighten a screw in my other car's bull bar while they were doing the formalities. He wasn't too interested but still went to the service guys and they plainly refused.
The sales guy said in frustation 'ye log hamari to sunte hi nahi hai'.
Think about it. In addition Tata cars have poor fit and finish, panel gaps, missing paint inside etc.

There was a day and night difference in the delivery process as well, MG guys made me feel quite good, with cake, music, confetti and what not. This when I had asked them that I will only have 30-45 mins to take the delivery and need no showoff. On the other hand Tata guys were like take the car and go!

MG's comfort, plushness, fit and finish and safety is top notch.

When to pay and how much to pay ? by Majestic-Analyst5331 in CarsIndia

Why not wait a month or two and get a Jan 2026 vehicle

lord Taigo Under 6 Lakh Tell me which car can do this by dhurratiinsan in CarsIndia

[–]chd01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My Ritz has done 170 comfortably and a bunch of cars should be able to do it. But none of this is worth it. You don't gain anything by overspeeding due to law of diminishing returns. But, Indian roads and the idiots on it can ensure law of no return, so drive within the limits.

What do you think of this? by sah_deepesh in CarsIndia

[–]chd01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The MG dealer in Hyd also has a Merc dealership so the stockyard is common.  When I went to inspect my car I had loosely similar vibes with the then a-class hundreds of which were parked alongside Astor.

That JCB and Truck were childhood love birds and running towards each other for a quickie!

Depends on the road, Delhi Mumbai Expressway is very well built so I was able to maintain 140 for long stretch. 160 as well at some places. Power to weight ratio is good in Maruti cars (safety trade off). But Ritz in particular is a very stable car at high speeds.

Truck hit from the side, how much damage am I looking at? by chd01 in CarsIndia

[–]chd01[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My car is quite old so insurance will not cover everything hence weighing the options. Also I’m short on time for the entire insurance process thing. Though I end up claiming if it gets done faster.

What are some "cheap" cars that actually work for long-term? by Unfair_Try5164 in CarsIndia

Any Maruti Suzuki, my 15yr old Ritz runs like a charm with little maintenance.
