For PY billing, some DSA brokers are offering Ex- Showroom as net Landed. So based on RTO at PY, one should expect 7-10 Lac discounts probably. Also, given the year end, such discounts should be very much possible.

I am getting the GLA200 in bangalore for 58lacs otr. Plus free first year insurance. Is this a good deal? Have a Q3 and this will be an addition to my garage.

Some of you have DMed me. Sorry am a newbie and hence cannot respond to DMs. Summarising my buy - Price quoted for the A4 tech is on road with BH registration (individual). 41.5 + 54k TCS. This includes 3 years EW (so a total of 5 years warranty). Bought this from Audi Mumbai south (jubilant motors). Price before discounts was 61.6 for BH registration and EW was 82k so the total discount that I managed is approx 21 lakhs. Hope this helps.

From what I gather discounts in November will be slightly lesser. But will go up again around December 10th. However you may not get a color of your choice at that time since MY24 stocks will be limited owing to year end.

We are looking at a new A6 technology pack vehicle. Any reference for the present discount/ ex showroom price? Also, from the tread, understand that Audi can be bought from any dealership in India and can get registered in base state. Is my understanding correct in this? Looking to close the purchase this month…

Got this from a friend - corporate offers being run by BMW. Should help you with your negotiations. This is across the country and dealerships.

You should expect atleast 15l off the sticker price. I briefly enquired about the A6 but then went ahead with the A4. Technically dealerships do have a territory restriction (they can pass on only 70% of the company discounts in case they make an out of territory sale). So it’s a question of whether you are ok letting go of that 30%. But I have noticed Delhi and Mumbai dealerships give higher discounts so it’s still a worthwhile deal compared to home dealerships.

Any particular reason why you didn’t consider A6 after initial enquiry? We are also little confused on A6 - whether to proceed ahead with it or wait for the new version to come in ‘25. The new 24 running model doesn’t have a wireless AA/ ACP or ventilated seats or adaptive cruise or new age techs.

Meanwhile, heard that new X3 is expected to launch during Delhi auto show in Jan’25. That’s also in the back of the mind

2025 model year is already launched abroad. However Indian models are different from what's sold in other countries so there is no guarantee that ADAS will make its way to India in 2025 since it didn't make its way in 2024 or 2023 or 2022 etc. For Wireless AA / ACP just use carlinkit - you can order online for around 5k.

This seems to be only for BMW employees and immediate family members, if I look through the fine print. Not a general "corporate offer" applicable to employees of other corporates.

I was looking for a drivers car. Rear legroom was not a priority. Don’t have kids and I have an Xuv 500 for when I need to ferry friends/ parents. AA/ACP is an easy fix (carlinkit). Given the size of the A4, ventilated seats, 360 degree cam etc is a luxury not a necessity. The AC is good enough and having driven the Xuv for 10 years without a rear camera, I was ok without a 360 degree cam. So the additional 15-17 lakhs didn’t really add any significant value considering my needs. That’s also the reason I did not go for the 330li.

No sir. My friend does not work for BMW. This is what BMW is offering employees of his company. He is considering the 330li M sport pro which is around 56 for a BH registration after discounts.

Yes. That is correct.

These discounts are not available in Bangalore for sure. Looks like a corporate one specific to a company.

Unfortunately, the only other option you have below 1 crore (new car), other than a M340i/S5 etc., is 330Li. This was my criteria too before picking 330Li and LCI Msport variants with staggered set up is almost as fun to drive as 330i, unless you are testing it to the limits.

Makes sense! My family is used to the space ( and comfort!)of Octy and hence they rejected A4 in the first round itself. Mind is toggling between A6/330Li/ future X3

When we started looking at luxury cars, then we understood the value Octy has given us for the past 7+ years! Can’t find a replacement for the value for money that it offers!

Damn which company is this, can I interview with them? . Bangalore is not offering any of this. The OTR prices are still a good north of 70L, especially if you want a car with a color of your choice, per my recent conversation with them.

Upgraded from Octavia to 330Li 3 months back and I feel it’s a worthy upgrade from it in all aspects except the boot space. But yes Octavia is a very difficult car to replace.

Thanks for sharing, but what does "employees" refer to as the advertisement also refers to immediate blood relations.
