Are there any discounts being offered on the WagonR? Apart from the standard 6.5K, 10K worth stereo and speakers, plus free extended warranty? These offers are by Maruti. Anything by the dealers over and above this?

So that I can directly approach that dealer. I am dealing with one really cunning Sales Rep who wants to outsmart me

Thanks in advance.

Let me give you the nitty gritty's
Insurance at 29 odd K is free.
Add 10K Honda Loyalty Bonus.
Then i got another 10K knocked off mentioning the verna.
and ofcourse 20K in accessories is negotiating skills, which is done by showing you are not desperate for the car. You have 2-3 cars at home and are free to use anyone you wish. So this is just a purchase if you get a good deal.
And there you have it 50K
Yes the dealer rounded it off to a neat 50K.
and i made him throw in a free body cover when i paid the booking amount.

The vehicle we selected is the V AT with Leather grade trim.
Good luck with the negotiating and be firm.

So you finally booked the car, Congratulations for the City. Which color? When is the delivery? You can also ask for body colored side beading for free if possible and if you require them. My friend got them free when he bought his City VMT last week. Are you trading your Civic for the City? Do start an ownership thread once you get the car.

Remarkable!

I have a feeling almost every dealer throws in the body cover for free with every ANHC.

I've got one; 2 people I know in 2 diff. cities got one too. Hope I didn't break your bubble.

I too got body cover for free with the car but now it is torn into pieces, thanks to dust storms/rains and the dog in my colony. I will have to buy a new one very soon and it costs around 1500 Rupees IIRC.

PS - The dealer/sales person doesn't offer the body cover by himself rather one has to ask them to provide it for free. We also got body cover when we bought WagonR

Yes we did. Thank You! Golden beige is the colour of choice. Delivery in about a fortnight. Body Coloured side beading ordered. No way! can't imagine life without my Chicca. Just adding another Honda to our family.
Will definately do an ownership thread this time round.

You are right, this is one of the most easiest freebies to get thrown into the deal. and the one i mention right at the end. This is a good way to get in included in the deal.

and as @buevolt mentioned. The dealers never throw it in themselves. We still have to ask for it. and the best time to do so is in the fag end once all other freebies and discounts have been dealt with.

@mdsaab, happened to have come across your posts about negotiating across different pages/threads on the forum and you seemed to have honed your skills well

You seem to be a helpful man and should consider a "How to negotiate well to get the best deal on your new car" sort of thread, which may benefit many others on the forum. Just in case such a thread already exists, please point me to it.

--------
Other notes: The Linea is available at a discount of 40-45k in Delhi.

Thanks @poitive
Helping any member of the team was and always will be a pleasure.
I too have received much support from the team in times when i needed guidance the most. and that's what makes Team-BHP so special. Though we have never met personally, we, yet go out of our way to help one another. and that is SPECIAL indeed.
Will search for such a thread, else you are right we should have one soon.
Bargain Hard!

[manojmis]

Happen to read from blogs that there is a Honda City 2012 that is due for launch during Diwali this year. Any concrete info on this?

There is a 48,000/- discount on the LXi in Kerala - Should be with all states. This is till 13 June or so. Please enquire in a dealership near you ! There is a daily advertisement for this in a leading Malayalam newspaper for the past 2-3 days.

Highly unlikely. The new car might be launching next year or in 2013 [since Honda follows a 5 year product refresh cycle] and there could be a refresh variant that might come in for Diwali 2011. Current year launch for Honda should be the Brio, next year for new Civic and all new City to follow later.

Guys,

Are there any discounts being offered on Fiat Linea Diesel variant?

Honda 'refreshes' City every year with few goodies and all. The current variant is just two and a half year old. So there is equal time left for a facelift. I have read in many international forums that it will be in early 2014 and not in 2013 as the current variant is actually called 2009 City.

PS - Please mention the link where you read about this. There are numerous fake forums and blogs which spread rumors. Kindly check their credibility.
