Quite the contrary. Normally we ask for the VIN and after everything checks out, we advance the payments. Change your SA or speak to the GM of sales at the showroom. Even Skoda India will say the same thing if you call them.

Coming to your point, This is not a standard practice and you should push for the VIN before disbursing anything.


On a different note, I too have my eyes set on the kushaq, so may I know the kind of discount they are offering these days?

Discounts: Rs68000
(SMP=Rs25000+Insurance Discount=Rs28000+Exchange Bonus=Rs15000)
Also, they were offering 25000 extra discounts if the 35000 booking amount was paid with an HDFC Regalia or Diners Club Credit Card.

Thank you,

I have been chasing the dealer for a clarification on this. After repeated explanations of how the excess amount is "somehow" related to the SMP package, and with me raising more questions on their explanation (as it is complimentary),

There is a latest explanation as mentioned below.

They gave me a new corrected tax invoice document for the car which has a lower special discount component, so that it almost covers the excess amount I paid to them. The old net ex-showroom price was 18,24,000 and the new one is 18,39,000.

I'm not sure how they can generate another invoice for the car. The invoice number is also different. The original invoice has the date as "27th June" (payment date) and the new one has "29th June" (car delivered date). I don't know if they actually created it on 29th June or just yesterday with that date.

They are claiming that it was a mistake and they corrected it.

Has anyone come across this? Doesn't make sense to me as the TCS (1%) amount is also higher now (I see the old amount reflected correctly in my Form 26AS).

Also, I'm thinking of escalating it to Skoda as this has been going on for quite a long time.

I'm yet to get back to the dealer on this explanation. Please let me know if there is anything else I can ask them.

Really appreciate any help on this.

I got 1.15 lakh discount in August. On ambition classic AT model. This was inclusive of 70k flat discount, 25k HDFC card discount and remaining shown as discount on insurance if I remember correctly.

Thanks. I too am looking only at Ambition variant as that is the most value for money variant. The style variant with a price gap of 2.5 lakh on road is simply overpriced for what it offers IMHO, also seltos htx comes 1 lakh cheaper and has many additional safety and bling features available which are hard to ignore.

Guys, any idea how do we receive & disconnect calls from steering mounted controls?

Hi, I have booked Kushaq 1.0 MT Ambition from DPM Dehradun yesterday after taking test drive of both 1.5 AT style and 1.0 MT style.. I have been following this thread for quite some time and I must congratulate the participants for such quality and in depth discussion. Previously I purchased Duster AWD 122 based on reviews of bhpians and still cherishing the decision I took despite all the noise regarding injector failure. I have done 800000 kms in my duster.. have crossed rivers climbed mountains numerous time with fair bit of offroading and it never gave a single major glitch. Hence the decision for going with Kushaq despite EPC horror stories was not a difficult one for me.
Now I want a bit of help as I can still change the variant. Pls help me in choosing the correct variant by answering following questions :

1. What extra will I get in style variant over ambition apart from sun roof which I don't need anyway.. and is it worth spending extra 2lakhs

2. MT vs AT in 1.9

3. Honey Orange or Red..

I am buying car for daily commute in city.

Thanks in advance

Well for exact features list why don't you download the brochure from Skoda website, you will know evey little detail. I don't think anyone here would know the each and exact difference.

But on top of my head, style has six airbags, leather seats, ventilated seats, 17 inch wheels vs 16, diamond cut alloy wheels vs normal ones, LCD instrument cluster vs analogue one, rain sensing wipers, automatic headlamps, sunroof. Some features might be there in ambition too, check skoda website to be completely sure.

I think that's a good set of features, it all depends whether you find them useful and worth 2 lakhs or not. Colour choice is always upto you, but if you're asking, honey orange is last on the list according to me.

For daily commute in city get the AT, the unit is a torque converter gearbox, very reliable and response time is good too.

If you do not want a sunroof and are going for the MT, you can ask about the Non Sunroof Style version from your dealer.

Thank You... the car is in the stockyard. Will go for a PDI in the next two days

[drrashmisaurabh]

After reading the reviews, listening to my kids and taking another test drive of both 1.0 MT and 1.5 MT now I have modified my booking to 1.5 MT Style.. Kids want sunroof and ventilated seat and I want 1.5 rocket.

It is surely going to burn a hole in my pocket but at the end of the day I didn't want to miss the fun that 1.5 is.

Now waiting eagerly for my red beauty to arrive.

Dealer is offering around 50k in discount and not budging.

[drrashmisaurabh]

Today the dealer shared VIN of the car with me. I am being offered Monte Carlo manufactured in April 22 (I verified it on team bhp page for vin details)

Monte Carlo edition was officialy launched in May 22 hence I am getting the car from the initial lot of this edition.

Should I go for it considering the car is 5months ???
