Any particular contact details for Dakshin Honda? I checked with Whitefield Honda, they did not mention anything specific about pre-facelift variant. I was insisting on discounts, but sales person was like take it or leave it.

Dear friends,

Has anybody bought a Baleno AGS Zeta or Alpha recently? I am on the verge of finalizing a deal for a Baleno for my daughter in a total cash deal without any booking.

There are Balenos available in stock in some colors with all dealers. There are discounts going for sure.

I have got on road price of 9,90,000 for Zeta and 10,90,000 for Alpha in Delhi.
This would include Ex-showroom cost, Registration, MCD Charges, Nexa Rewards, Fastag, Zero Dep Insurance with all add-ons, Accessories for 11,000, Extended warranty.
I don't want to tell the Dealer that I will buy Insurance myself as then they would not give the discounts that they are giving.

I'm asking 2-3 dealers for the best possible on-road price with all these things included. They have come down almost 50K from their published on-road prices.
Is this the best approach ? Are these prices reasonable ?

What all should confirm before committing to buy. I have thought of asking them the Manufacturing date, details of insurance. Anything else ?

Once the deal is finalized should I transfer the booking amount and ask for a PDI before making full payment ? How are payments normally done ?

Dear team

My In- laws are currently in market for an automatic-petrol SUV for around 17 lakhs on road. They have finalised the Current Seltos (Yes they are fully aware that new seltos is coming next month, they don’t care).

They have offers on the current Seltos as free comprehensive insurance, 60k exchange bonus (for IVT and IMT) on their current Ciaz and 25k discount on accessories.

Is that the best they can get? Are better offers available?

Considering the facelift is just few days away you should be able to bargain and get atleast another 50k discount at minimum. Do remember when the time for resale comes it will be take a sizeable impact on Value. Might be wise to check offers from other dealers and pit them against each other to give you the best bang for buck

These are the official discounts provided from Kia's side, which was applicable for the month of June, but considering the facelift is hardly a day or two away, you could bargain for discounts from the dealer side, if he has too much stock, else if there is enough demand, he will easily find another buyer.

You could try for more discounts, but considering discounts are higher usually on models in stock, for a model which takes 1 month to deliver, I am not sure if the dealer will budge unless he is desperate.

Tata car prices to go up by 0.6% from July 17

Tata Motors has announced that it will increase the prices of its cars and EVs from July 17, 2023. Prices will be hiked by an average of 0.6% across all models and variants.



According to Tata, prices are being increased to offset the impact of rising input costs. However, customers who book their vehicles before July 16 and receive deliveries by July 31 will be shielded from the price hike.

Price hikes have become a regular affair due to volatile input costs. Tata Motors' total expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, are said to have gone up by 30% compared to the previous year. This is primarily due to an increase in the cost of materials consumed.

Vehicle prices in India have also increased following the implementation of the BS6 Phase II norms, which mandate automakers to install emission monitoring devices in their vehicles.

Commodity prices have not fluctuated that much of late. Emission related upgrades have been implemented and honestly speaking exhaust after-treatment vendors are offering very competitive prices to OEM's due to their achieving,(or close to achieving), economes of scale.
Tata's volume selling platforms, with the exception of Altroz, are also legacy platforms having amortised their costs.
OEM's, and I'm not singling out Tata here, needs to keep their prices in check. Otherwise cars will simply become unaffordable and new car sales dwindle.

Those looking to Purchase MUV, Pls get your rides delivered ASAP.

The move will bring vehicles such as Toyota’s Innova, an MUV into the highest slab of 22% compensation cess and that it is likely that several manufacturers will pass on the impact to the consumer

The government may treat so-called multi-utility vehicles (MUV) or crossover utility vehicles (both uniquely Indian categories) at par with sports utility vehicles (SUVs) irrespective of automakers’ nomenclature and uniformly levy 22% compensation cess if they have length greater than 4 metres, an engine over 1,500cc capacity, and at least 170mm ground clearance, two people familiar with matter said.

Empowered federal body the Goods and Services Tax (GST) Council, which is expected to meet on July 11, is likely to take up this matter and clarify the government’s position irrespective of manufacturers’ own innovative definitions of such vehicles, they added requesting anonymity. The Council may also take views on reducing tax rates on some food, snacks (including Kachri, fritters made from chickpea, and pappad) and life-saving medicines (such as Dinutuximab, a costly and imported anti-cancer agent).

Experts who did not wish to be named, said the move will bring vehicles, such as Toyota’s Innova and the Maruti Ertiga, both MUVs, into the highest slab of 22% compensation cess and that it is likely that several manufacturers will pass on the impact to the consumer. A top CEO of automobile manufacturing firm said he would comment only after the official announcement of the proposal.

The on-road prices of new cars, including all taxes from A to Z, do not make any sense now. With ridiculous year-long waiting periods for cars, don't expect any respite soon.

Happy to see this, was a bit disheartened that Toyota had not increased prices across range for quite sometime now For a new buyer this is not a good news, but for lakhs of existing owners, I am sure this will be a good one!

Toyota's official statement on the recent price hike:

Tired of the load of crap statement with every price hike. There has never been a quarter when the companies have reduced prices, irrespective of commodities cycle.

Starting to get irritated with these statements honestly.
