Guys I had visited the Honda showroom yesterday to have a look at the ANHC and as everybody here know, the dealer confirmed that the ANHC Facelift was coming in December if not 2012. So thats Good news

However, when I asked the SE if Honda was still manufacturing the current version, he hinted towards a 'No' in his reply. He insisted that if I booked an ANHC this month, I could get some heavy discounts, however, I had to choose from the available Models/Colour which were manufactured 2 or even 3 months back. Basically, Stock Clearance I guess.
SE also informed me that they could work out a further discount from the Dealer side which was necessarily not offered from Honda.....I don't know what he meant by this statement though!!

The facelifted city is not really a drastic change from the present car unlike the past when each time Honda made quite a radical change in the exterior design. So IMHO with good discounts on offer this is a great time to pick up the Honda city.
With increasing Petrol costs combined with another diesel sedan launch ( read as Skoda Rapid), dealers will be willing to give good offers.

I got an offer of 8.2 OTR after discounts(including corporate discount) in Chennai. Looks like they are in a hurry to clear the pre-facelift stocks.

Be careful though - you might get a TD vehicle.
But otherwise, several dealers will push stocks at year end with additional discounts.

I am interested in the EMT or the base model. I may be wrong but they are usually not test drive vehicles. However, the SA has agreed for me to come to the stockyard for the verification of the car.

Does it make sense to go for Honda city right now or wait a little more to get a better deal? Please advise

If you are willing to spend a little more money on a facelifted model, then fine to wait. If not, get one right now. Prices will be increased a little bit for sure.

I just took delivery of my city smt yest, and its an oct 2011 model. So dont worry about old stocks, they are clearing the pre-facelift models.

Just read in todays newspaper that Maruti Estilo has a very huge discounts on offer. They are saying there is almost 20% discount. Estilo is being offered at 2.65 L instead of 3.27 L. It must be base model, still its a great buy. Is it true? If its true then its really a great deal. It looks better than Eon then with K 1.0 engine and Maruti A$$. Can somebody confirms this?

[rameshnanda]

This will be a killer pricing if true. Is Maruti planning to stop the production of Estilo and just clear the existing inventory?

[aaggoswami]

At this price point, Estilo is great value given the fantastic motor it has. As a city car, it would do better than Alto/Eon any given day. If this is true, it would bring in more volumes for Maruti unless there is labor troubles.
I hope that this is deliberate price cut to fight Eon which should give maruti some time to prepare for the so called new M800.

[kiran]

Is this because Maruti wanted to deviate the customers from long pending waiting list for Swift to Estilo by offering 20% discount? We saw clear dip in sales in previous month due to their strikes. To regain the market in terms of no. of cars, they are rolling out this heavy discounts?

[zalaps]

Yes this prices are of basic version.
These are not official prices. Official price stays still at 3.27L.
It's very like Chevy Spark. It's official price is some 3.XXL. But always you can get it with tag of 2.79L as some offer/festivals.

Seen the ads in Delhi papers also. As such Estilo has very low offtake (for MUL). In one stroke they have created a demand for it. While not as nimble or performance oriented as the Alto K10, it has a tall boy design and the same K10 engine, so performance and AC is taken care of, so is seating comfort. An ideal competitor for Santro and Eon.

When I received the quote for TDi Trendline last month here in Chennai, the Ex showroom price was 8.43L. But the onroad price is around 9.72L. The difference I see is, Registration+life Tax is around 95K. Are you sure its only 61K ?

[puchoo]

Does anyone have any idea if the new variants of the Fabia have hit the street. There are excellent discounts running on the car right now but dealers are telling me that the updated models i.e rear was /wiper etc will only arrive in Jan 2012 and the current offers are only on the existing stocks.
