Your dad's company would be a Santa Claus for the dealer and the Sales Consultant at the dealer
The decision to combine all the volumes and buy it from Hinda is a good decision, you can get huge leverage.

In a city like mumbai, where rear ending and/or small accidents are common Teflon coating is not recommended, But for Anti Rust coating is a must due to salty weather, generally, you can negotiate it free of cost fromt he dealer.

Wooden paneling is not required, CD Player is not a necessity, generally these days people carry music in the Mp3 format and if one buys a 8 GB memory stick, everything can be stored inside and played back.

For me Stock system is good enough. Quality of playback or FM radio is very good.
