I said if the Marutis introduced the M series Swift ( pbiously the P ) and incase it would cost 35k rs more i said everyone will go for the Diesel one by a just a lil bit more so as everyone will rush for the D there will be mroe increasing in the Waiting period, Regrds, Priya Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rssh 59 Report post Posted November 14, 2007 Well they will simultaneously increase diesel price like improved braking ,more sound deadning materials alloy clutch these will increase the swift D price by 30k so Maruti will still maintain gap .By the way I read in June issue of ACI that Maruti is upgrading its engines.

diablo37989 0 Report post Posted November 16, 2007 there's no reason why safety features (like ABS and airbags) should be the provision of top end models only. these should be optional extras on ALL variants by law. I keep going on about how local companies force us to buy more expensive variants if we want better safety - a real rip off. but as things are, the Swift ZXi - simply because of the airbags. hopefully, you'll never need them. but then again, you'll never know for sure.

carispassion 0 Report post Posted November 16, 2007 hope that, the safety features will be mandatory on all cars soon. then , even the price for those safety features will come down, since companies will start manufacturing them in india... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

carispassion 0 Report post Posted November 17, 2007 this is natural... the company will give only small margin to hot selling models... and they will give more margin to promote slow selling models.. why blame maruti.. all the manufacturers are doing the same way....

rssh 59 Report post Posted November 18, 2007 See the on road price is 5.84lakhs of ZXi and the dealer gives it for 6.25lakhs here (well all dealer's give this amount no one is ready for discount but give cool accessory free). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Common RSSH how can the On raod Price be 6,25 if the the On road price is given as 5.84?? well the ex showroom price of swift ZXi is around 5.05 and after including the Road TAx , the Insurance and Waranty it will come around 6.2 on road in MUMbai and in mangalore its 5.88 on ROad.
