I already own a Rapid DSG in Pune, so we are not keen on getting one more RAPID in Hyderabad. Also RAPID prices have gone up compared to the previous model. Same is the case for Vento. Ameo is looking VFM but the dealer is not budging on any discounts.
Honda City is up for a facelift and heard of very poor mileage by City CVT.

I think we will go with AMEO in the next year. Keep me posted on your search as well.

Sure, Please do let me know you find any good offers.

Regarding the Ameo: Yes, I too liked the vehicle and it comes with all the bells and whistles which puts Rapid & Vento to shame . If you zeroed down to Ameo, may be I can help as my SA offered 11 lakhs OTR(10-15k discount I guess) with some freebies like Car Seats, Mats etc. If you want please DM your number, I will pass it on to the SA. He is very nice chap, he brought car twice to my home all the way from Tirumalagiri. When I said HM feels the car is cramped at the back, he was willing to bring car to home again.

Happy hunting. Mine is very stressful .

Any idea as to how this scheme works exactly?

As per my knowledge, your EMI will start in Jan 2018, BUT which will include the interest accumulated in entire year of 2017 + the total loan. So for eg. your loan is 10 Lakhs, and interest on that amount for 2017 is suppose 1 lakh, then your EMI will start in 2018 which will be based on 11 Lakhs.
Anyone, please correct me if I am wrong.

Most manufacturers offer year end discounts. Discounts continue into the new year till the previous year model are sold out. Now we are all aware that it's a good time to buy but we are also aware that when selling it is considered a year older. A December 2016 manufactured car will be considered 1 year older than a January 2017 car and this affects the resale. We all know this, nothing new. So why am I posting this?
What I want to know is how much discount (%age of the OTR price) is required to offset the loss incurred while selling the car after 5 years.

It is simple, check the prices of 5 year and 6 year old cars that you want to buy on the net. That will give you an idea of the difference. As the number of second hand vehicle in the market increase and with the Government trying to ensure digital payments, I expect the prices of old cars to be depressed further, compared to now, so keep that also in mind.

No but i can tell you that the discounts are unbelievable in the X5. Close to 20% off OTR prices. Secondly, any dealer in India can sell anywhere in India, at least for this month. So there is intense competition. Mumbai dealer is selling in B'lore as per the rant of one dealer.

Yes they can sell anywhere in india. A friend enquired for the 530d in Kolkata and discounts were not more than 2-3 lakhs. They claimed that they don't have any cars in Stock and they requested my friend to get the car from Mumbai.

Close to 20% off OTR prices.

It means you are getting close to 18 Lac off? on Road Prices for X5 - Mid model is close to 90 Lac if I am not mistaken. Up here in North Discounts are more like 7-8 Lac.

Here the PDE variant costs a little over Rs 88 lacs. And you can pick up one for around Rs 73 lacs. You can knock off another Rs 1.5 lacs if you reside outside municipal limits. But you would get the 18" alloys and not the 19" and the media player would not be fully interactive as in the latest models. Can live with those, i suppose.
edit: These would be for corporate buyers with individual registration.

Are you referring to DPE or the Basic Expedition? DPE comes with 19" and also have iDrive with NAV & HDD besides they have changed MID since past month or so to fully digital.

Sorry. I am referring to the DPE. Got that mixed up. Not the basic expedition. i understand that there are some X5, DPE cars with 18 alloys and a semi digital MID. Rest common.

That's hardly a discount for the 2016 model. Which month is its make? I'd rather take a 2017 model considering the better resale I can fetch. As for the Swift's value, please do check on carwale & also a couple of other dealers and negotiate based on it. It cant be as good as carwale prices, but you get a drift.
