You might have to wait till Jan end or Feb to get a 2024 VIN car. Also, there would be a peoce hike of min 30k incl. taxes for a 24 model. If you plan to keep vehicle for long it doesnt realltly matter.

On the other hand a 2024 VIN and registration might fetch you a few extra bucks on the resale value.

Hope this helps !

Cheers !!

Please check with Detailing Bull. They have a workshop in Sector 83, NOIDA.

Hello, Did you get yours done at Detailing Bull? I am looking for their reviews and their costing for Bull Armor (Performance Series)

One of my neighbors got their new Seltos (GTX+ black) PPFed through Detailing Bull. The car was parked in the basement, when I went to see it. In the limited light, I could make out that the shine on his car was more than mine (even my car is parked in the same basement with similar lighting). Overall the work looked good (can't say if there were small bubbles, like I have on mine).

Most important thing was that my neighbor was happy with the work and he said he would recommend DB to others. So there you go.

I chose for my convenience plus, and one factor is the included 5-year extended warranty. If you select the extended warranty separately, it's only valid for 3 years

I guess MCP gives a peace of mind. Will opt for it instead of Extended Warranty. Thanks

I did not opt for PPF finally, although he quoted Rs 85k plus GST. This included ceramic on glasses. Tyre alloys were extra.

One of my acquaintances had got his BMW PPF through Detailing Bull and he was very happy with them.

Anyone who bought a new Seltos recently in South Mumbai(or Mumbai overall), did you get any good deals/discounts? I am buying the GTX+ S soon.

I booked a couple of months ago, same model and there were absolutely no deals/discounts. I saved some as was able to register out of state and just yesterday checked with my SA regarding discounts on registation if car is scrapped but he had no clue about it, guess the scheme is not yet ready.

Can you elaborate on the “car is scrapped” bit? Didn’t fully understand.

Apparently there's a car scrapping scheme in some states where-in you get scrap value + additional discounts on registration. I do not know if this is just an initial policy or an actual final scheme and no one in the car purchase chain here seems to know either.

What is the ideal time to do PDI, post registration or pre registration? Considering the car will have to be brought to the showroom for delivery from the stock yard. The car is brought to the showroom during registration so isn’t it better to do PDI then?

Hi All,

My first post on this forum, I have booked a Kia Seltos GTX+ Diesel variant. My SA knows that I am not going to get insurance done nor I am looking for any major accessories so they are deliberately not giving me cars despite they have stock but they want me to buy insurance + accessories from the dealer, only then they will allot a car. I am refusing outright so they are also saying then wait till December. Its a typical sales tactic btw, anyways

I had few questions, and I was wondering if anyone can help?

- Since my promised delivery date is 22nd December, is there a way to find out if there are any discounts for the year end model?
- I am getting a PPF done - Tint & Orange, has anyone got it done?
- Where are you buying after market accessories in Mumbai from? and which ones?
Lastly has anyone got any sunfilms installed for all the glasses? If yes then from where in Mumbai and how much was the cost.

Note: I am jumping from Wagon R straight to Seltos so I am really excited however equally clueless on how to save some unwanted cashflow leakages and still get a good deal?

Which dealership and how long before you got your car?

I am in the exact same boat. My SA went a level further and asked me to cancel my booking if I can’t wait for 2 weeks. It’s already been 3 weeks since my booking where the SA offered me 4-5 cars with expensive addons.
