Cars Q&A

I own a swift from last 1.5 years and have not spent a rupee on maintenence other than regualar service. There are some known issues like some noise from suspension/bottom. Otherwise car is amazing and i took a correct decision.

have swift vxi dec-2007 , in good condition with music system of 26K ,seat cover , filmed glass for Rs.3.7L contact on amarghanchi@gmail.com, navi mumbai registration

I had a swift zxi 2006 model sold 2 days back. Was performing well without much maintaince. Observed number of small yellow patches in 2008 proved to be rusing. Service center and even Maruthi engineer responded as though it is a normal phenomina. The service and response from maruthi was poor.
Milage is around 12 and running is smooth.

Key point. Thats the month the car was introduced. deliveries started in may 05. So you are looking at the first lot off the assembly line. At that time most of the conservative drivers do not buy. They wait and see before going in. Generally at that time you would find a mix of very good drivers ( enthusiasts) or the show-offs who may abuse the car. Have it checked thoroughly.

I had a May 05 registered car, one of the first 100 in the country. and it ran great.. during the 4 years i had it, got its clutch changed and also its rear tyre bearings. Also check for steering bush.

Overall its a good car, demands little maintenance. Price should be around 2.5L-2.7L. Not more .

Hope this helps.
