2022 Suzuki Swift, Discussion/ Owners / Fanclub Thread

Not always. The gains alone are very lucrative and attract anyone who has enough spare money to book a car. Frequent price hikes and premium make up to a nice profit when booked timely.

Consider this, someone books an Alto vxr for 15,53,500 now. He gets tentative delivery of September 2022. By the time he gets delivery, the price could have gone up to 16,50,000. Add atleast 150,000 own/premium. He can easily sell that car for 17,50,000 which amounts 196,500(12.6%) in only 6 months!

Btw, Pak Suzuki does have a policy in place that prevents bulk bookings i.e one person can only make 2 bookings in a 12 month period with minimum 6 months gap between bookings.

yet so many of them are available as open invoice on ON

[nfssaad]

you share that profit with the dealership and that policy goes flying out the window

Sir, just because of these so-called investors… genuine buyers have to face a longer delivery period.

Production isn’t an issue as of now, let’s say these investors move to any other commodity, and the demand for automobiles drops, companies will be forced to lower their production automatically.

How can somebody justify 200K – 300K PREMIUM money on an entry-level car i.e., Alto?

[fastian04]

Not always black money. It just pays way too much profit vs stocks and its risk free as well. In last one year, cars are paying 2x more profit then properties. I know a few who were dealing in plots and now side by side they are putting on cars. The biggest selling point is there is always profit be it low or high.

[fastian04]

Production is way lower than it used to be. Companies are giving advantage to dealerships to make as much profits as they want. There is no check and balance and authorities are sleeping. Since buyers see more increase in price with the wait time, they pay the premium and it keeps on rising and rising.

Have just booked the TOP variant today with full amount expecting a huge price increase after April 1st-- can any member guide
-- How much price increase is expected
-- will suzuki pay delay payment charges
-- Expect any premium?
I was going for City Aspire but after huge price increase I got budget constraint. Just booked swift today with double mind either keep it or will sell on premium in order to purchase a City.

Haris sb, i am in process of booking swift via bank and today the bank has delivered a cheque of full amount to Suzuki's regional office and received a formal receiving of the amount,, however no PBO was issued, my question is how soon can the PBO be issued and is there a way to expedite the process in order to avoid price hike

[hariskhan1989]

The answer to your question is very simple, you won’t have to pay any price difference if your payment has been received and verified by the company before the price hike. PBO or booking reference number will be issued within 5 – 7 working days.

Maybe Suzuki will expedite this process by itself before the price hike!

[fastian04]

Normally they delay the final PBO and one has to be lucky to be safe.

[usmanraufraja]

As far as I have heard, if a PBO is not issued, your booking can get canceled.

I have heard experts stressing on getting PBO upon delivering the pay order, before leaving dealership.

This said, I myself did the same mistake of not getting PBO when paying. I got it after 10 days. Although was saved from upcoming price hike but the delivery is August. The dealership although said I will get it in 3 months before the issuance of PBO.

My conclusion, dealerships make false promises of early delivery just to aquire more booking and make money. One should always take a PBO when paying.

[fastian04]

Yes right on the Spot, else its mostly game over.

[hariskhan1989]

Brother, right now Suzuki isn’t issuing PBO on the spot. There is a verification process involved in between. In my case, I got PBO after 9 days.

Even if somebody gets a PBO on the spot, it won’t contain the booking reference number and tentative delivery date.

A dealership can issue a PBO with the booking reference number and tentative delivery date only if they are booking that vehicle from their available dealership quota.

[fastian04]

How come, its a not a new car and is already used across the world for around 4 years. Fault makes no sense really

[hariskhan1989]

The information is confirmed; this car is assembled for the first time in Pakistan.

[fastian04]

Then salaam hai suzuki ko. If they cannot assemble an old model, they cant do anything good really.

[november_venom_428]

Sir, do share if u get to know about the fault,,
Thanks

Recently a manufacturing issue was identified in the Suzuki Alto as well, though it was in production globally for a long period:

[angelusizhere]

[fastian04]
