On the subject of all wheels being the same in new cars. Maruti, which is the market leader, has a policy of all 5 being the same, after a specific case involving a customer from Vizag. The points at issue were and still are -

# Homologation for motor vehicles specifically mentions 5 tyres of the same sort EXCEPT where special dispensation has been taken for "get home" tyres on "run flat" equipped sets of 4.

# Please look at the insurance rules - the moment your rims are of a different size, your insurance is invalid.

# Most of all, where does it stop? Why should I accept 4 alloys instead of 5? What does the tyre rotation chart with the vehicle state, that the spare sits in the boot till it becomes plastic?

Let us get real. And yes, the smallest lie is a deal-breaker, because it means bigger lies are in the offing.

I own a Vento and we were looking at the new Polo for my sister but at 9.60, Rapid is just 1 lakh over the Polo with a much better engine and handling, really is a VFM proposition.Also she loves the Rapid more ...

Considering the numerous terrible experiences Team BHPians have had with Skoda, I think one needs to be really adventurous to go for Skoda. Think hard about long term ownership experience.

I have already booked a Ford Fiesta 1.5 Titanium. Just could not gather courage to opt for Skoda. The service provided by VW group is poor, in comparison, our year old Ecosport is doing well and all complaints were met with prompt responses and multiple calls by Ford India.

Fiesta titanium here in New Delhi costed 10.38 without insurance. Opted for self insurance and cut out those essential, body care packs etc.
Total would be 10.68 with 0 dep insurance and 3rd year extended warranty.

Is there any deals going on for Hyundai Grand i10, either from company or by any of the dealers in Bangalore?

My Zest delivery is getting postponed for some reason or other even after paying full ex-showroom price, after more than 2 months of waiting I am not ready to quit and look for some other option with immediate delivery, I came to know i10 Grand is readily available and fits my budget.

[dipen]

Grand has 10-15k discounts including loyalty, corporate discount and other over the table negotiations. Note that if you call them, they will say zero discounts. Once you have confirmed, they will throw in small discounts.

Does anyone anticpate any offers on Hyundai Elantra in October? Can we draw any precedence from the last year?

What were the offers in last year?

I am guessing with facelift around corner, you may get good discounts.

[manupriyam]

Latest on discounts offered for XUV W8 at Bangalore by Shireesh Auto (Hosur Road):
- First year insurance free, comes out to be INR 31k
- Corporate Discount of INR 10K which is standard across any model

Does anyone has any other information regarding XUV W8 discounts? Also why first year XUV W8 insurance is coming out to be INR 31K versus INR 55k quoted for Tata Storme VX 4X4?

Cheers

Does anyone have an idea about the discounts one can get on the Skoda Superb? I read somewhere on the thread that someone got over 3 lakh discount over a year earlier. Is it feasible to get a similar discount on the 2014 facelifted Superb?

I am also looking at the Sonata, since the car will mostly be chauffeur driven. Really like the looks and the ventilated seats option, other drawbacks notwithstanding. Willing to go for it only if the difference between a discounted Superb and Sonata comes to 4-5 lakh or more

Haven't negotiated on the Superb yet, any suggestions would be welcome.

[Sahil]

Just negotiated a deal of 15 lakhs off on the 730Ld. This is inclusive of all corporate discounts etc. Offer was valid for September not sure if October the discounts have changed. At approximately 89 lakhs ex-showroom without octroi it's a good buy. Nearly 20 lakhs cheaper than the S350CDi that is currently at 1.10 ex-Showroom with no discounts.
