Hi,
A friend of mine is trying to book at Ritz VXi with ABS in Bangalore. He approached 2 dealers both of them are telling that the production of Ritz VXi with ABS has stopped and will resume only during Dusshera. Is this true?

[YashD]

Could be and that's good! Your friend should indeed get the new Ritz instead of going for the current one.

Yes heard that one too. Could be even more on the 4x4s. The Yeti is a fabulous all-rounder. Pretty effortless car to drive in varied conditions ranging from stop-start traffic to highway blasting. It even offers more than decent off-roading capabilities. If you push some more, I'm sure you can knock off a few grand more off the price. Basically no better time to get the Yeti, if you were planning for one.

Hyundai is offering the Fluidic Sonata buyers a Samsung Galaxy Note for FREE :

They could have offered free petrol voucher for equivalent value instead to make the deal sweeter IMO.

Rapid: discount of 30k on mid variant and 60k on top variant.

This is what I've recently seen in mumbai - September / ganpati offer I think.

Certainly a good offer for Yeti. Not sure what the rear sensors are as a part of the offer.. Even Ambition comes with rear parking sensors. What am I missing? Or is the offer for Active trim?

Higher variants might get better deal I suppose.

You're right. This was indeed an offer made for the Active variant, therefore the rear parking sensors were thrown in as well over and above the discount. Fantastic deal IMO. Takes away the overpriced factor from a Yeti purchase.

My Friend is picking up a Honda City EMT this Saturday at Gurgaon and as per the Manager the car he has in the stock is a May 2012 manufactured car. Have taken the VIN number and have requested Wildon to check the same. I wanted to know if its ok to pick up a car which is lying in the stockyard for almost 4 months. Can members please help as to what needs to be checked apart from the PDI.

Negotiated a deal for my known family for i10 Sportz, OTR with temp registration costed 430000. while ex showroom shown by Sales staff in price list was 473xxx.

The deal also includes seat cover and mud flaps etc

So it turns out to be almost 50-55k discount

I am undecided between the ambition and thee elegance. ambition interiors are a bit bare.

You have already received inputs from Omtoatom and VB-san. Well I have always been "if you can afford buy the top end - not talking about L&K here)". You get factory fitted stuff. But its a personal choice and if you are willing to spend the incremental money then you get - 16 inch wheels, wider rubber (as pointed out earlier 55 aspect ratio will make the ride stiffer), auto dimming ORVMs, auto folding mirrors, ACC, leather upholstrey, wood inserts (faux) instead of silver, rain sensing wipers etc.

1. A DSG makes imminent sense in Mumbai. Apart from the obvious driving pleasure and butter-smooth shifting, your left leg is going to very grateful!

3. Yes, the ride will be a little stiffer on the shorter 55 sidewalls. On Mumbai roads, the difference will be even more apparent. However otherwise, there is no difference in the way the two Lauras are tuned - so that is entirely your call there.

Damn good deal if u ask me, only snag is tht its a 2011.

Very good deal, if you are considering a new car, just go ahead.

Like I mentioned somewhere else on forum, best time to buy a petrol car!! Just do pre booking inspection and go for it.

Sirjee, thats me I suppose, the final deal was much sweeter . Loan has been sanctioned, DP will be made today and then in a few days I get the VIN. Thanks to you for your reference!

Here the OTR is 19L, they are offering it for 16.94 L. A discount of 2L. It seems the offer is only for this month.

What do you guys say?

Thanks in advance.

Amazing deal, just go ahead with it. September till mid october will see good discounts as after ganesh chaturthi till navratri, people usually dont buy cars due to religious reasons. So good time to finalize the deal.

So this is almost (if not more than) a petrolesque markdown in the case of a Laura TDI. The DSG only makes that the icing on the cake. Definitely worth the leap.

That is just super-duper partner. My suggestion: same as above to Mr. Ramesh - dive right in
