Born in Feb, red and lovely and bright and happy - say hello to our little Love Bug

It's my birthday today and this was my wife's gift to me. Planned it and got a lot of things done in advance. Those were also full of adventures which I will list in my longer post!

Thank you for sharing this joyful story with us. Its such a heart warming story to read and a good start to a Monday.

You are a very lucky fellow. I am not talking about the car. God bless your wife, you, the car and the family. Please keep the Jimny stories - of travels with your family - coming our way.

Cheers

Congratulations, hope you have the best run of your life with your Jimmy.
And thank you for sharing such a nice post, have got to say, the best ownership reviews/ ownership experience posts I read on the forum nowadays are mostly from the Jimmy owners. Says something about the car, as well as the owners.

2) Sounds very unusual; Unless maybe the car was on a slope at the time and gravity simply pulled it suddenly backwards at the point you released the brake, BEFORE torque-convertor reached "stall-speed" rpm and drove the car forward as it should.

I think a visit to the showroom and workshop would be advisable, as it sounds dangerous to both vehicle and passengers within. True whether operator error or technical issue with shift linkage, GB valve-body/solenoids, etc.

Thanks for the reply.

1. Yup. Now I wait for a moment and let the gears settle down and then gradually accelerate.
2. This has now happened twice in the last year. Once, when the car was at an incline and once when it was on level ground. Could be due to non proper engagement of 4L I suppose. I am fairly cautious now and will update the thread if this happens ever again.
Cheers

I am getting a quote of around 13.90 on road in Delhi if I go with the additional 1.5 discount on the financing option.

Congratulations to you too! There is no issue as such with the MSIL financing option. We just avoided the loan because we had kept aside enough funds to cover the full amount.

It just did not seem wise to me to take a loan and pay interest and other fees for additional discount.

The break-up was such: Rs 1.8L discount for outright payment + Rs 1.5 lakh additional off with MSIL financing. Total Rs 3.3 lakh discount.

I asked them to increase the Rs 1.8L figure, which they did to Rs 2.15L.

So, according to the dealer, I could have foreclosed a small loan in a year. I think it is a good deal if someone is looking to fund the purchase via a loan anyway. Just seek clarity on processing fees, foreclosure fees and rate.

So happy to see your Jimny has arrived! No idea why but the Jimny always reminds me of a new candy in a store - bright and happy - you can't wait to get your hands on it! Looks absolutely smashing - here's hoping the PDI went smoothly and you get the delivery ASAP.

Was this the factory/dealer PDI or you were doing your own?

Thank you sjain2054 for all the good wishes. And I know what you mean, yes I am very lucky Glad I can spread the joy around that we feel just having the Jimny with us. Intend to do a lot more!

Also, not to intrude but since I saw your comments on the other Jimny thread, I really highly recommend the Mahindra 3XO for your dad. The ride quality and the engine are top notch and for the price it's an awesome deal if you still are looking to replace his old car. I almost bought it myself!

Thankyou rrsteer for the lovely wishes. Yes, the car does put a smile on my face, never thought a car would be such a happy thing until I saw (and now own) a Jimny! And the fact that for a limited seller it has such a long thread on TBhp is also telling at how this impish car has our hearts

I got quote of Rs 35505 for EW (which also add some CCS program from Maruti) So not sure if this makes sense?

For Alpha AT:
Extended Warranty (5 years/1,00,000km): Rs 21,530 + 18% GST = Rs. 25.405
CCP (2 years/40,000km): Rs 8180 + 18% GST = Rs 9652

I got mine delivered on 6th July. Just bought EW and not the CCP.

For the MSIL finance, can one pre pay without penalty as in the case of public sector banks. Also on my current loan with PNB, any extra amount that I pay gets adjusted from the principal and not from the instalments. This I can save some interest. Not sure if such a thing is possible with MSIL finance.

Can you please tell me the Total amount you paid for your Jimny.

I have booked my Jimny Alpha MT without Extended warranty and without basic accessories kit for 12 lacs on road. Is this deal ok? And how much was the insurance?

Thanks for the wishes Evyas and I definitely second your thoughts on Jimmy

The pdi went smoothly. The pics I clicked when dealer pdi was going on. I did mine later on.

[Buzzard_storme]

Any know the latest offers in Bengaluru on Jimny Alpha AT? Heard the discounts are now upto 3L.

Thank you for the wishes Dippy! I do have some simple mods planned - but nothing major until I get a hang of it. Right now I'm still figuring out the car and what our requirements are, even for arm-rest and storage. A dash-cam is what I'm desperately trying to figure, more so since the dual ones are a bit hard to install due to the side opening door.

And absolutely would love to meet up. In fact I keep checking on the forum for any TBhp Mumbai meet-ups so do let me know when and where! Just be prepared to meet a complete noob who'll ask you all sorts of questions about the 4x4 and how to work it..I've literally not even touched the 4L knob other than during the PDI and won't until I learn everything about it

Hi All,
I heard from few of my friends that, Maruti is now offering 3 years warranty on its vehicles as standard.(Earlier it was 2 years?)
Hence with the extended warranty for 3 years, it makes a total of 6 years warranty.

Tried checking with my SA, he said he will check and reconfirm in a day.
So, if any recent buyers of Maruti cars can you kindly confirm this? It will be helpful for the other new buyers.

And, new Jimny owners, what was the amount you paid for extended warranty? And were you able to get this 3+3 years warranty?
