Total Cost of the Car was 4.95 Lacs, but onwards 4th august, Maruti had declared the price hike on his models. I got the delivery on 23th august but bcos of price hike i had paid around 5000 more. I just wants to ask you if i had booked the car before the price hike then why should i pay more price? is it feasible? dont you think hike price should be apply on non booked cars.? Regards Sachin

Dear Sachin, The final price of the car is taken on the date of delivery, which is the same for any car manufacturer.
