Fantastic Fiat Linea!

My beloved Fiat Linea 1.4 l petrol Emotion Pack [Fox Trote Azure] was delivered to me by Concorde Motors India Limited, Hosur Road, Bangalore, on 8 October 2009 evening. 

• I booked on 16 September 2009 with Rs 25 k, paid the balance on 29 September 2009, did the pre-delivery inspection on 6 October 2009 [odometer reading: 32 km] and took delivery on 8 October 2009 with registration number plate.
• The on-road price worked out to Rs 8.35 lakh.  I paid Rs 8.27 lakh to the dealership after getting corporate discount of Rs 8 k and cash discount of Rs 6 k.  I took comprehensive insurance from [my present insurer for my previous vehicle Maruti Suzuki Versa] United India Insurance, availing of 50% no-claim bonus which worked out to Rs 8164.
• At the time of booking, we indicated Medium Grey colour.  But, when the sales executive informed me of VIN, which had the code of EPZ, indicating May 2009, I rejected it.  Since my wife also disliked that colour and preferred Fox Trote Azure [FTA], we selected FTA.  The only vehicle in FTA in that lot had VIN code of JPZ, indicating September 2009, so I grabbed it. 
• The tyres have September 2009 markings, so do the headlamp assemblies.  The music system is of Blaupunkt brand.  The tool kit contains tow ring for towing purpose.  I got desmodronic foldable key with remote control [with electronic and mechanical codes] plus one duplicate manual key.  I have also got extended warranty for 2+2 years, which was included in the on-road price.
• The sales executive [Ghanshyam Dubey] was an excellent chap.  He regularly updated me on the latest position.  He offered floor mats, mud flaps, car body cover, idol, perfume and 5 litre petrol coupon as freebies apart from corporate/cash discounts.  We were given a gift box of chocolates and photographed with the vehicle after puja.
