Seems to be another case where the Forex is hurting the manufacturer badly. Like is being discussed elsewhere, if a manufacturer (or in turn his supplier) is sourcing parts from outside India, then there is not much of an option than to send prices northward.

And if the New Innova is around the corner, will there a price-up on that again?
Evil!

Toyota is making hay when the sun shines.... all its products are expensive as compared to competition, all because of perceived notion of reliability (after all the recalls... after all Toyota is the one which had the biggest recalls than any other manufacturer).

Heck even the Liva/ Etios is costlier than most of its competitors, which explains its lowly sales numbers month-on-month basis.

And with that the already expensive Fortuner becomes even more expensive. The problem is the same everywhere. Just like in the fuel pricing fiasco, the govt is just not ready to let go off some of its profit by lowering those tax rates and rather increases prices. Similar is the case with Toyota. Unless there is some good alternative to counter the Innova and Fortuner, they will continue with this bullish attitude.

I guess that makes sense.
I wonder if anyone has tried negotiating with them though.
With the current price war between the Germans, it is becoming quite tough to monitor who is offering the best deal, and what is the real on-road price for the cars, when it comes to the three of them.

Fiat is offering 1 Lakh discount if you exchange your old car with them + Corporate discount of 5 to 7K + Reverse parking sensors.
You can negotiate further and should be able to get another 6 to 8K off on OTR. This offer is applicable on Linea Tjet and MJD.

Saw this in paper today. Not sure if application to Tjet or not.

My bad! Just cross checked -
The insurance is part of another scheme if you are not opting for the Exchange bonus, which is 20k cash discount + free insurance + RSA.

Hey can anyone from chandigarh confirm what is the current road tax in chandigarh for vehicles over 20 lacs? I am particularly interested in the fortuner. According to internet I read it as 6 percent but my SA here in Delhi said it is 7.5 percent.

[Turbanator]

What is the current road tax in chandigarh for vehicles over 20 lacs?

I believe its 8 % for 4 wheelers costing more than 20 Lac . But it is charged on Basic Invoice Value before VAT so it should be 7,5 % of total costs . I am getting my Fortuner - 4x4 Manual one registered in a day or so so can let you know exact amount by Monday . You must have a Valid Chandigarh address to get registration . Last time heard about lower rates in Uttranchal
