Hi I purchased my Indica Xeta GLS Arctic Silver on April 2006. I had asked the dealer 2 fit Front power windws, remote central locking , LHS ORVM , FOg lamps. soo after reciving the delivery of my vehicle just a little further I went ahead for my horror the indicator not working, then nxt day I visit the dealer again and they tell tht due 2 remote locking fitting this has ocured and made it correct after a long long wait. later the servicing was also not soo good . this year febraury 2 my shock I opened the door and am trying 2 close itt and its not closing 2 my horror the hinge of the door cutt( not 2 be expected in new car) .
Then I took it 2 the dealer where they promptly replaced under waranty after 3 days.and after thiss I cudnot take itt any longer and was planning 2 sell the vehicle when an accident ocured boc zthe car skid and lost control completly and hit 2 a milestone and a small wall.but we all were safe bcoz of tata’s strentghy body.milage is decent of abt 10-11 in city and 15-16 in highway, means pple whose running is less than 1k kms is good. but my running is around 1400kms.
But mind u all just dont buy this car like mee for the price, space.coz its not build 2 lastand suffers in reliability even many pple adivsed me not 2 goo for a TATA but wanted 2 see my luck but fialed 2 doo soo. For new car buyers there is a simple mathmetics on how much u spend 4 ur vehcile. Just see hw much u run ur vehicle and hw much year u r keeping itt wid u and the cost price of the vehicle.
Sooo exxample u buy Xeta GLS for 3.3 on road.and run abt 1000kms a motnh and keep the vehcle for 4 yrs and average milage of the vehicle is 12-13.soo 4 yrs means 48k kms.soo 48k kms divided by 12(milage) multiplied by fuel cost rs 50(Karnataka) means 2 lakh u pay for running 48k kms add 3.30 for 2 lakhs means 5.50 and subtarct from the aproximate value after 4 yrs means around 1.5 lakhs means 5.50 minus 1.50 means 4 lakhs is the total mony spent on ur Xeta similairly u can calculate WagonR DUO , Indica Turbo , WagonR petrol, Santro XIng and car of ur choice. hope u all find this method easy.
