Kris_risk it is similar to the offer I got in trichy. Why don't you pick up the extended warranty too? Gives you peace of mind.

C63 AMG at 98 lakhs on-road Thane.
Audi S4 at 70 lakhs on-road Thane.

The budget has killed them.
Ex showroom of the S4 used to be 45 lakhs. Now it's 55.
Similarly, ex-showroom of the AMG is up proportionately.

Don't see the value in them anymore. At 55 lakhs pre-budget, the S4 was almost worth it.
Hope the Euoro Free Trade Act goes through. Though I doubt it will.

Hey BHPians,

Currently doing a market study of the available sedans below 9L on road Bangalore. Did test drives of the below models and have collected their prices as well. Petrol vehicles preferred since my running is less than 600 km a month. Diesel Amaze is the only diesel I considered.

1. Toyota Etios 1.5 - VSP - 8.54 L (spacious car, good petrol engine and ride dynamics, easy to maintain, boring interiors and plain exteriors)

2. Honda Amaze 1.5 - SMT - 8.38 L (brilliant diesel engine, space, not many features in mid variant though its the most VFM, service costs unknown so far)

3. Ford Fiesta Classic 1.6 - Titanium - 8.27 L (solid build, good ride, fantastic revving engine, heard Fords are expensive to maintain)

Currently inclining to the Fiesta Classic 1.6. Please throw in your opinions on the selection and if you have come across a better deal.

Cheers

Srinath

I don't think is true any longer but from my personal experience my Ritz vdi is a lot more expensive to maintain than my Figo titanium tdci.

Hiya,

I got a quote of 22.75 lac, on road for 2013 jetta highline AT ....... Any idea if they are offering discounts on this variant. I've tried and searched in Mumbai, coz that's where I am and wanted information in this regard. My reason for selecting Jetta, is the Car Dynamics, Drivability and its Safety features. Kindly let me know your suggestions!

Dealers have inventory of pre-budget cars that can be sold on pre-budget prices since the factory already billed them for it. You just need to negotiate well and you could not only get the car at pre-budget prices but also get a discount on it.

I was offered 3-4 lakhs off on the S4 in late December as there is MFD 2012 stock with dealers.
You should be able to get a decently loaded 2012 MFD S4 after discounts(as per pre-budget price) at about 50 lakhs ex-showroom thane. Remember there aren't many takers for these high power petrol models hence you can always negotiate hard for them.

Received an SMS message(probably from Mahaveer Skoda, Hyderabad, where I enquired for a Rapid this January) mentioning the below offer.

Cash discount of Rs.1,00,000/- on 2012, Red colour, Rapid Elegance Diesel.

Thats an absolute myth, it was the story of the long gone days. I have 2 Fiesta's at home and just love both of them. Never found them eating away my money, infact a Swift in the family has proved more expensive(with a similar age).

I want to mention specifically - I always found FORD after sales to be very good if not excellent.

It is an excellent vehicle in that range.

Hold you horses. Skoda just launched Rapid Prestige TDI special edition for 9 Lacs ex showroom. This has almost all features of the Elegance trim at a substantially less price. Please see link below for details:

Any offers with Skoda currently?

Dear all,
Booked FORD FIGO TITANIUM(SEA GRY) YESTERDAY.
Total on road costs 7 lks( 6.20 ex.shwrm+ 74k life tax + 6k transportation charges)
OFFER: Insurance + Vinyl seat covers + Reverse parking sensors+ regulars like mud flaps+ floor and boot mats + neck and back pillows

HDFC Funding 100% on ex shwrm with 10.75% and 1000 processing fee

My doubt is if 10.75%(5 years) is interest then the EMI is around 11000/month but HDFC says there is some universal monthly EMI card which is given by RBI( really felt fishly hearing these statements) and with that EMI coming to 13+ per month.
This calculation leads to 8 lks+ totally if going on loan. Is this correct? My friend too got something similar.

Thanks very much guys.

Open ms excel, click new, choose existing templates sand click amortization sheet. Fill the details of your loan and check if the emi matches the interest rate.

Cheers and congrats on your new car!

Please use the calculator in the link provided -
http://www.carwale.com/finance/calculateEmi.aspx

The calculator gives you accurate numbers along with your monthly break up of interest outgo.

Please negotiate on the interest rate with hdfc as I was offered 10.25 percent at chennai 2 weeks back. Was also offered 10 pct if I open a salary account with them and maintain an average monthly balance of 2 lacs (they call it as preferred ac). 10 to 10.25 pct is the least market is offering these days.

Congrats on your new car.

Axis too was offering around 10 to 10.25 percent fixed.
Try icici - they are very competitive in the market. They were offering interest at 10 pct with no prepayment penalty. This was for the month of March which was subsequently withdrawn in April.

10 to 10.25 pct was offered by all Banks across.
