My friend asked details about it and guy made up some stories (You know these sales guys are very good at it). Finally my friend refused to give cash and offered cheque, which SA promptly accepted but asked not to mention anything under "Pay to" section, just fill up rest of details, amount, sign, date etc.

When I heard of it, I told my friend that he had been made fool and this 2500 will goto that SA Account.

The discounts being offered on the V variant are not 50K
but more like 60K
The V AT Exclusive
we booked at 11,20,000/-
now reduction price is 11,13,000/- OTR
So the deal till here is actually sweeter.

Here is where it changes though.
after getting a decent 11,20,000/- price
we got 20K worth of free accessories.

Now the final blow to the new price reduction.

In our pre reduction deal we get
Extended warranty
Honda RSA

Enquired for the Fiat Punto from Bhasin Motors, Raipur, and this is what their quotation said -

Fiat Grande Punto (Emotion Pack)

Color - Tuscan Wine.

Ex-showroom - 6,73,465/-
Insurance - 23,759/- (they claim Fiat has tied up with Future Generali)
Registration - 49,043/-
Accessories - 7,000/-
Extended Warranty - 5,000/- (Normal + Extended of 48 months)
Others - 3,000/- (For the Tuscan Wine Premium car color)
TOTAL - 7,61,267/-

They are offering - Carpet Mats, Mud Flaps, Leather Seat Covers, Perfume, Idol, Temple & a Mobile Charger Kit (!) (some as Freebies, others under Accessories).

Also, Corporate Discount of 6K, plus a few other discounts such as Value Pack of 5,500 thrown in (which has 1 year of free Insurance), and the Extended Warranty for free and also throw in the Accessories.

They have agreed for total savings of about 29, 259/- so far.

I didn't stop there and asked for Reverse Parking Sensors, Rear Spoiler and a Rear Reading Lamp. Negotiations are still very much on!

Right now, it is coming to 7,32,008/- for me. Hopefully I can get at least the Reverse Parking Sensors and/or the Rear Reading Lamp thrown into the deal as well. Won't mind paying for the Rear Spoiler or the Sensors, as both are the same quoted price of 3,900/-.

@ravenavi The car epackage includes 1 yr free insurance, EW and RSA for a total of 5.5K - so, in your case, you get 23,759+6K(corp disc)+1500(for mats+flap+perfume+idol)+10900 (assuming that they are giving you OEM leather+PU combo seat cover - Part Number: 59116299\ 59116300) which will account to about 42K savings.

Imho, this is a good deal, and anything you get above this (parking sensor\rear spoiler\ reading light) will sweeten this deal more.

After all the negotiations are done, ask for the car cover. They usually give this also free, but if you ask early, they will substitute this for some other stuff. If brought from Fiat showroom, this will set you back by 1.5K.

Skoda Fabia special Edition is being offered at Rs 3.99 Ex showroom.

Ahh, fantastic! They told me they will be giving me the OEM leather seatcovers without the red stitching. I will be asking for at least 2 more accessories and see how much I can extend the deal from my side. It's already a pretty sweet deal, for sure!

And yes, you are right. I will ask for a car cover after all the stuff is done and I am ready to drive out. Bet they won't say no to yet another happy Punto customer. Either that, or they will just be happy to toss one into the bargain and see me off finally!

Thanks, theexperthand.

I suggest you do this just before you sign on the dotted line on the cheque

Once you give the cash, it is very tough to get any additional freebie - unless you have an SA who is very helpful.
I have seen the seat covers in another black Punto and it looks good.

Enquiry for the Honda Jazz from Shubh Honda, Raipur, and this is what I was quoted -

Honda Jazz (Select Edition)

Ex-showroom - 7,56,500/-
Insurance - 1/- (Honda Insurance)
Registration + Extended Warranty + Accessories - 87, 767/-
Extended Warranty - Normal 24 months + Extended of 24 months
TOTAL - 8,44,267/-


In addition, Roadside Assistance Package is available separately for:

1500/- for 1 year,
2500/- for 2 years,
3250/- for 3 years, and
4000/- for 4 years.

Cash Benefit Discount of 55,000/- (and they claim that the Rs.1/- Insurance saves a further 20K) so total discounts on offer (claimed) is 75,000/-.

Final OTR - 7,89,267/-

I say - wait for the festive season.

With the price difference of a top-end (X version with Select kit) Jazz (7,88,500/-) and the entry-level City (1.5 E MT - 7,66,300/-) standing at -22,200/- (both prices Ex-Showroom), prices of the Jazz are destined to fall, most probably by at least 30-35K for the top-end Jazz with all the bells and whistles thrown in.

The most you can expect - 7.25 L for the Jazz X. Anything under and Honda might cut down on the features offered. Already the Extended Warranty has come under scissors and Roadside Assistance is now a separately to-be-paid Package.

I thought they did away with Loyalty bonus. And 40k off for the display car?! That is an innovative way of giving discounts. I never thought a dealer would be so honest to admit it is a display car and give a 40k discount on it!

What are door visors?

Folks,

Any discount on the new nissan micra diesel? Insurance is waived off, apart from it any?

Which sunfilm?

And also which body cover? Pride Honda cheated me by giving some cheap aftermarket body cover and not the original Honda-branded cover for the Civic. Please make sure to check the authenticity of the freebies you receive.

You could get the rubber mats - good for the oncoming monsoon season.

So this will be the third Honda you'll buy, right? The Civic you already have, the ANHC which you are close to booking and now another Civic as well.

Any further discounts for being loyal to Honda?

Regards,
spadix

One of my friends got an offer for a cash discount of 50K on the top-end diesel Micra from the capital's Nissan dealer. You might want to check that out at your place.
