@SelfDrive, what's the corporate discount quoted for City? I checked with Deccan yesterday and they offered me 15K as corporate discount. Too less or average?

1. Free Insurance
2. Free extended warranty
3. Corporate discount 9K
4. Free accessories (Floor Mats etc)


Also there is a news that in the upcoming budget there will be raise in excise duty for cars.

So is it worth buying the car now or should i wait?

No idea saaheb, I was only considering the Jazz for individual purchase. Moreover, I havent been anywhere near a showroom for a few months now - only received the mailer. Perhaps one of our 'onfield' colleagues may be able to confirm this. Sorry!

Thanks buddy. Isn't there a road-tax in Pune/PC region?

The xls file (Jazz sheet) states that cancellation charge is Rs. 10,000.
Do other dealers also charge this kind of amount if I cancel a booking, in case there is change of mind?

These are from one of the Bangalore ANHC dealers:

If it's a corporate purchase, Rs.10,000 corporate discount + Rs.20,000 worth accessories but no discount on insurance. The on road price for SMT comes to Rs.10.45 lacs.

Mind telling us what these accessories are?
Honda's accessories are grossly overpriced, so I'm expecting these to be worth just about Rs 10-15k in reality.

From what I heard, they included Teflon coat polish, 3M Sun Control Film of "medium" quality, mud flaps/mats and one more item which I forgot. Will update as I get a detailed quote today.

yesterday's paper had an ad for the VCDI Optra Magnum LT top end at 8.36 lacs ex showroom. comes with alloys and various other bells and whistles.
also comes with the Chevy 3 year zero cost maintenance warranty as per the ad.

That is a very good car but since it is now pretty much at the end of its product lifecycle I wonder will people buy it even with such attractive prices?

Good day all,

I had read 1 lac discount on Grande mkii adertised in Marathi dailes in Mumbai last month.

Since it was a short run to Mumbai could not get details in person.

Upon calling, the guy started typical illustration not paying any heed to my request to straight talk of pricing and not dwell on features. Anyways, I asked if ABS is now optional and he replied that ABS is required only if top speed is in excess of 240 kmph.
I felt like cutting the talk then and there. Anyways.

Upon digging deep, after he took liberal 20 min to detail the features, he reaveled that the 1 lac discount is for Taxi regn due to excise off + loyalty and exchange bonus. Exchange bonus is for other maker's cars too.

I was under the impression that grande was not available for registration as a taxi. And this was one of the primary reasons of my inclination to it apart from features of GX variant and also it being poor man's safari.

I have called him up for test drive tomorrow and he would also evaluate my present car.

In the mean time if anyone has details/ nitty-gritties of this offer, please enlighten me.

Comments on selection of grande as personal car too would help my buying process.

Rgds.
