Guys a friend of mine is looking for Vento TDI in chennai. What are all the current offers for MY2014 cars ?

[austere_sly]

A dealer in Delhi is offering 30K discount on Grand i10 Asta (O) crdi for 2013 model so it comes about to 7 lac. 2014 model has no discounts and is at 7.3 lac.

What are the disadvantages of going with 2013 model except for affect on resale ?

No other disadvantage. Which month of 2013 was it manufactured? The grand i10 has been selling quite well and hence it is strange for the dealer to be left with any 2013 stock that too of the diesel variant. Just do a thorough PDI and ensure that it is not a TD vehicle or a Demo vehicle. Having said that is 30k worth the stress?

Since the GT TDI has been dropped, what're the offers on the Vento TDI highline in delhi ?
I'll be getting the 2014 model(mfd) and don't know if waiting for the facelift is worth it. The 1.6 has got a very good reputation and frankly is one of the reasons of choosing this car over the H.City.

What is the best offer for Rapid / Vento TDI in Coimbatore / Chennai?

[H_Dogg72]

Alright, I visited the showroom (world class, delhi)
They quoted me 10.97/93 for the highline TDI 2014.
Now they also quoted me 9lakh for the 2013 comfort line.
This includes the exchange bonus.

I for the life of me will not buy the comfort line, safety is too high a priority.
I guess I'll have to wait till May for the facelift. If anyone's buying a comfort line,don't pay more than 9lakh for the 2013 models.
The POLO GT TDI 2013 was at 8.60.

Not sure about Vento, but I can pen down the offers for Rapid as I took delivery of one 2 days back.

There is a Limited Edition Rapid Ultima on sale on which they give free insurance and 10k corporate bonus. Also they give some exchange bonus. There is an attractive finance scheme as well (7.99% for 3 years). Ultima comes loaded with GPS, reverse parking sensors and camera, leather seat covers and alloys. Ultima is available in both Ambition and Elegance trims. In Elegance you get projectors and climatronic AC.

This I say is a fantastic marketing gimmick. The Ex-Showroom price is increased for Ultima and in turn every other Price and Tax is increased. They give free insurance and bonus on increased price which IMO is not VFM.

For example, I don't think one needs reverse parking sensors when there is reverse camera. Also GPS can be purchased for much cheaper price outside (will not affect warranty).

Now due to the sale of this Ultima variant, the SA is not offering anything on the normal Rapid (Elegance in my case). After haggling for more than 2.5 hours I got extended warranty for free and another 5k cash discount (Chennai). Also the finance was offered at 8.10% for 5 years.

Price Difference:
Rapid Ultima Elegance 1.6 TDI - ~11.75 lakh after discounts (includes reverse camera, sensors, GPS and leather seat covers - need to pay extra for extended warranty)
Rapid Elegance 1.6 TDI - 11.36 lakh after discounts (includes extended warranty for free, reverse camera alone - 9k). Reverse camera fitted in showroom to sustain warranty. Leather seat cover with custom design in progress in outside store for 10k which is 3.5k cheaper than showroom price.

Based on my needs, I went for Elegance and not Ultima which proved costlier for me and I also got extended warranty.

My cousin is booking one today (Petrol Ambition Ultima). Need to check with him for what offers he got.
Hope this helps!

Check the Renault India offers here http://www.renault.co.in/Offers.html

Not sure if "ONE LAKH SMILES OFFER" is available still (though listed in their site)
If available, it includes
- Exchange Benefits up to Rs. 20,000
- Insurance @ Re 1
- Additional 2 years Warranty
- Free Road Side Assistance for 4 Years

[sridhu]

That seems to be what I am being offered, Mr Boss (cool name!). Though the SA did not call it that.

Do you know if the exchange benefits will be given an actual exchange? :-)

Polo facelift will be launched in May/June, Vento Facelift will be next year only. In my opinion, go ahead and book the present car without hesitation as changes in Polo Facelift is not really worth waiting for.

If you are not in a hurry or there isnt an urgent need for a car, you could wait for the facelift of the Polo. The FL version would come with a 4 pot 1.5 L engine which would do about 90 HP. Seems to be a better engine option.

I know it is a month too late to buy a 2013 model. We are working in a budget of 30L and looking at the 320d base with xenon's and Q3 2.0 177ps TDI. Need help as to how much discount I can extract at this time on either model. Car will be registered in NCR! Many thanks

Hi there, I have been offered an Audi A6 2.0 TDI Premium variant for 48.9L OTR Chennai after a lot of haggle. The price without discounts is 53.54L. Can somebody throw me some light on the quotation? Can I push for more discounts on the price if possible? Thank you!

I've been looking at replacing my trusty old ritz with a Grandi10 or an xcent.

Are there any offers whatsoever on the Grandi10? Looking at the Petrol sportz. I recall seeing a Hyundai ad in TOI a few days ago that mentioned some savings - can't recall how much though, and can't locate the ad. The dealer says there's nothing off.

I will go for the xcent in that case, as the difference between the grandi10 sportz (P) and xcent S (P) is only ~60k without discounts.

I know the xcent has no discount as it's new and in demand at that crazy price, but if the grand has further discount it may make sense for me to forgo the boot and save the cash. Eg. for a 80-90k difference I'd buy the hatch.

Especially since I like the way the hatch drives better than the sedan in this case. For a 60k difference, though, I'll forgo the FTD factor and go for the practicality of the little sedan.
