Anyone booked an Ertiga recently in Bangalore? What are the expected wait times? Any offers? Booking amount?

Posting on behalf of my co-brother.
He booked the car on 31-Dec-2021 and taking delivery tomorrow (6-March-2022).
He currently owns TN registered Swift Petrol (Topend, 2014 model) which he will be sending to his native in TN. For new car, he had a budget of 18L to upgrade.
His first choice was Petrol variant of Creta. He was confused if he should go for Seltos. I recommended him to evaluate Diesel variant as his usage is 50Kms/day for 6 days a week.
I also recommended to go ahead with Creta (vs Seltos - Better Service Center reach, Seltos safety ratings and firm ride).

Within Creta Diesel, I nudged him to go for top end- as he will own the car for long term and he would miss the additional features over time. Automatic topend was at 22.7L and Manual topend was at 20.9L. Automatic was completely out of his budget. He consulted with family and stretched for manual top end.

I booked in late Nov (Zxi AT) - ETA was late April. Cancelled now.

Some cancelled bookings cars were offered to me - diff model, color, etc. so didn't take them in the interim.

Can someone tell me what documents you receive from Mahindra once you book ?

From the Dealer, I got the receipt and the booking confirmation document. I didn't receive any direct communication on Mahindra nor did I receive any communication on order status from Mahindra directly like some other people seem to have got. Please can someone confirm what type of communications we receive post booking?

Made a fresh booking for the above customised config in Diesel on 16/03/2022, because the petrol AX5 lacks ESP in all it's iterations. Cancelled the earlier one because Mahindra doesn't have an option of changing any part of a booking once it is completed. Refund to be credited back to my bank account in 21 working days.

Also added illuminated scuff plates & ORVM logo projectors as 2 accessory add-ons.

Revised OTR is ~₹20.50L.

I finally took the plunge ~ _ _ _ _ed the alternatives - and booked a car!

Actually, a highly enterprising RM (read good salesman!), who came to me with a test drive for a different car, convinced me to make the booking - for a very small sum of 5k (official booking amount is 11k) - with a promise that I can cancel the booking without any deduction to the booking amount.

He sold me the idea that being the year-end, Dealers would be more proactive - trying to meet targets. In fact, he told me that my booking will help him personally in reaching his own target for the year... And I thought this might turn out as a positive for me too.

Make : Maruti Nexa
Model : S-Cross
Variant : Zeta - MT
Fuel : Petrol
Booking Date : 16th March 2022
Color : Granite Grey
Expected Delivery Date : Who knows?! The RM said, "about a month, but it might even happen in March itself"!
But since then, the tone has changed, of course. So, I'll be very happy even if it happens in 4-6 weeks.
Dealer & City : Sainath Autolinks Pvt. Ltd. (NEXA) - Durgapur, West Bengal
Freebies : Nil
Others : [like any offer] ~
A total discount/bonus of 70K has been 'informally' committed by the RM (see attachment 1) -
Then, after quite a bit of goading, I have received a "Pro Forma Invoice" (see attachment 2) - on the Dealer's Letterhead (via WA) - which lists 45k of discounts (leaving out the old car value = 20K & additional discount = 5K ~ promised by the RM)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Incidentally, this is the secondary Dealer that I had been contacting. My first-choice dealer had offered a 30K discount. But now, after I told them that I am getting 70K discount from another dealer, they have jumped up and promised verbally to match AND possibly cross the 70K offered by the other dealer. However, I am yet to receive their offer - I have insisted for a Quotation on Letterhead.

Fingers crossed...
