Does that mean I can get the exchange bonus even if I do not sell the car to the Tata dealership? I just need to get a photocopy of the RC book.

I did not know that, I thought I had to sell my current car to the Tata dealership to get the exchange bonus.

For exchange bonus, AFAIK you need not sell it to the dealer.

They will need copies of your insurance, RC book. If your old car is hypothecated, then they will need the financier's NOC. Else, if your vehicle is wholly owned, they may ask for Transfer of Ownership agreement that you sign with the buyer.

In my case, Nissan asked for all of the above documents.

VW asked only for prior RC book. They didn't even insist I need to sell my old car at all. All they needed was proof that I owned a car previously of a different brand.

In fact, VW SA didnt seem to care when I said I will be using the same sold car with both companies., i.e., more than once, to claim exchange bonus from VW as well as Nissan. sort of 'double jeopardy' if you see what I mean.

So, I suggest you check with the dealer on the exact documents he needs.

Can you please provide more details on the Tata Motors dealer who gave this exchange discount. Concorde motors in chennai will provide exchange bonus only if you sell the vehicle to them.

mate, Even i tried to get the discount of said 60+ thousands but the dealers are saying... Impossible. They are ready to give if i exchange my car with them. however it is not possible as i have sold it already.

I am pretty sure that they will give half price for my old car and they give this 40K bonus, which doesnt make any sense.

Some people are getting good discounts and some are not getting any. Is there a problem with the way we are handling the things with SA people ? All, Please do regularly post your experience + Tips (if any) so that it would help felow bhpIans

most of the dealerships offer you exchange bonus even if you don't actually exchange your old car with them.
you just need to show a copy of the RC, transfer certificate.

however there are some dealerships who don't allow this.
one of my relative bought a Manza from a tata dealership some months back. they were offering around 60k exchange bonus. so this relative of mine bought a used maruti 800 for 12k and the dealer took it for 10k + 60k exchange bonus.

but yes I agree with what others have said - normally they quote a really low price for your car so it's best to sell it on your own.

Just met the sales person from Shahwar Nissan for Sunny. The maximum discount being offered was Insurance waiver of INR 30k or a Cash discount of INR 15k. They arent offering any more deals. This is applicable for both diesel as well as petrol variants!

When asked about the exchange bonus scheme of INR 50k which still is present on the Nissan Sunny India website, he merely said that the same was for November only.

He exclaimed that they were the only dealer in Karnataka (and hence the clear reluctance in passing on the available benefit to customers) and were not giving any discounts on the models. He also mentioned that Nissan sold 300 Sunnys in Karnataka alone in November (doesnt look right to me!).

Honestly, I didnt like their attitude. I mean, if they behave this way while selling, I can only dread to think what would happen when I would go for a service of my car to them?

On an unrelated note, Skoda has just removed its "Rapid Birthday Offer" page from its website. Are they withdrawing the scheme or making it sweeter?

I was just told that the 2011 stocks are still available. I had read here that they had lots of old stock. Seems unlikely that they will be able to move it without some really heavy discounts (like the one on Kizashi).

Best is not to accept whatever they are offering and bargain hard.

Someone in T Jet official thread had mentioned that some dealer in Kalyan has 2 or 3 T jets. Not sure of the deals, but I guess one could look at a 7L OTR price, or even a bit more since this is year end.

Yes it was on the Tjet review thread. T- Bhpian Khoj said the dealer at Kalyan has 2/3 Tjets. You should get a sweet deal if you are really serious about getting one.

I am interested in knowing if Maruti dealers are allowing this system of exchange bonus even if we don't sell the vehicle to them.

Any inputs will be appreciated.

BTW: Any able to negotiate with Maruti dealers in any city? In Pune, the dealers are sticking to the standard Maruti discount and no more negotiations.
But I need to probe further.

Same in Mumbai with 1 dealer I spoke to for SX4 Automatic. Only Rs 30K cash discount + 35 Exchange bonus.

December offer from Ford India:

Getting a discount of 28k in cash with all discounts (corp, exchg etc. 28K was given on final onroad price. Not on the Exshowroom price.) + some freebies like mud flaps, mats and speakers on Toyota Etios GD. Nothing more.

Is it a good deal or could i manage much better? I dont think, this is the best that i could get on Etios in December but SE's are not ready to discuss further. Guys, please advice.
