Yep guys..brought it home yday around 7:20pm.
Sorry for not being able to put a post yday..though I did check the thread..since last post I saw was from sv1976 @5:44pm..thought you guys might have gone to bed..also wanted to check everything thoroughly and go thru the manual cover-to-cover, before blabbering any further (thanks to lambho bhaisaab, being somewhat catious)
As I pointed out earlier, got my timings royally rogered yday. Was able to reach the showroom only around 5:30pm. It was ready for delivery with all the accessories fitted and cleaned.
The moment I saw the car, all pdi planning based on the checklist here in TBHP went out of the window. As usual, since it was late, the people there were trying to rush things. Got the invoice of car (ex-showroom value totalling to 6.73L) and the delivery note alongwith the owner's manual. Still to get the invoice of the regn taxes and accessories. Had to pay an amount of 15K+ in cash (balance pending for accessories) without a receipt (since it was late and invoicing unit has left it seems).
Got a box of chocolates from them. Distributed around 1200 bucks in cash there. Was the last person it seemed for the day to take delivery..hence seemed like all the dealer staff gheraoed me, post the pooja was done and the customary sqaushing of lemons. Overall experience was good.
Will get the number plate/rest of the invoices today.
It was a nightmare driving back - the stretch during the evening peak hours is so lousy..it was really nerve-wracking, made worse due to my paranoia about scratches. Somehow managed.
Did a thorough pdi at home today morning (post-delivery
instead of pre-delivery..hope I am not committing blasphemy by going against TBHP rules;-})
Touchwood, everything is clean as a whistle. Nothing missing. Everything in place.
Maybe I am being too finicky..only sore point is that the polythene cover from driver's seat was removed (so that the dealer's driver can be comfortable), it had some wrinkles (guess I have to become used to it with the leather+biege combo)
The red flashing indicator sure is a pain..alongwith the 10 mins or so switch-off delay for the control panels..look/feels odd when the car is parked in the dark. Before going to bed at 12 midnight, have to go down to the parking to check if the lights are really off and the doors are locked.
Have got a lot to say/share about the experience post joining TBHP last month. Apologies for posting long messages most of the time..did'nt win any prizes in school for précis writing;-} Will come back shortly with a detailed write-up..Need some time. Lot of official work backlogs to clear thanks to the humongous amount of time spent on TBHP past couple of weeks;-}
PS: Am told by dealer that no road tax docs will be given. The RC will have all these details, which might take about 2 weeks. The only docs I have is a) Sales Invoice b) Insurance Policy/Certificate c) Delivery Note, which according to dealer is sufficient for the suspecting cops for a new car. True?

Am in the process of cutting a CD with MP3 to test out the audio system..advice reqd:
1. Rear/Front balance, Tone/Bass settings etc-what are the numerical values you guys have configured?
2. Any suggestions of some songs to test the effects?
