Yes you can. I was quoted Rs. 2000/- for the paint job of door handles, ORVM covers and mudflaps to body color. After some negotiations, they agreed to give me a discount of 50% of the total bill. But, my family said they rather liked the contrast of the black handles & mirrors with the silver body color, so I ditched it.

I thought that's mandatory for the MASS to do during the first service.
I will suggest get it done once your car crosses 1k mark on the odo.

Nope. I checked the manual and it's not mandatory. Engine Oil and Oil Filter change are marked for the 3rd service at 12 months or 10,000 kms, whichever is earlier, and at the same intervals thereafter.
Took snapshots from my Ritz manual regarding the maintenance schedule and here they are :-
(
Legend: I = Inspect/Correct/Replace if necessary, R = Mandatory Replace/Change , C = Clean, A = Adjust, L = Lubricate, T = Tighten to Specified Torque, O = Rotate)
But still, in order to clear this up, I shall call the A.S.S. center tomorrow and inquire about this.

The schedule could be different for the facelifted Ritz. They have retuned the facelifted Ritz's DDiS heart for improved mileage and lesser maintenance, so maybe that's the reason behind this.

When i started my hunt for a new car a few months ago, i decided on the LDi which was then upgraded to VDi, then VDi with ABS and now finally booked the ZDi and hope to get delivery in Feb end or so.
Have decided on the Breeze Blue color but i don't see this much on our roads. Any issues with this paint/color scheme?
I was thinking of white but it's way too common and the granite gray and bakers chocolate colors look good but only when spotless and clean.
I have a red M800 already so red it out. I hate silver so that is out too
Eagerly waiting for confirmation from the dealer so i can initiate the company lease program. |
Indeed. Appalling, to say the least. We are paying close to 7L for a car and the least it could have is body-colored extensions.
Congratulations, Aditya! The ZDi makes sense considering it has full safety features and some other useful add-ons - steering mounted controls, driver seat-height adjust, etc. Good choice!
Breeze Blue was the advertised color for the Wagon-R facelift from 2011(?), the "blue-eyed boy". That was the reason why we didn't go for it, since it's a default color for another Maruti car already. Maybe that's the reason why not many are opting for this color for their Ritzys.
Granite Grey & Baker's Chocolate require some maintenance, plus scratches would be immediately visible on them. Sylver already has a small set of scratches near her left rear door, but it's hardly visible to the naked eye. You have to peer really hard to make out the marks. Silver color is very helpful here - stress-free and relatively maintenance-free.
Eagerly waiting to see your ownership report. All the best. Let us know how it goes!
