Negotiate with the dealer to get discount increased to about 2 lacs. Then it will be a great buy. The one reason to go Compass is that it has got a soul and feel plus a certain character which Tucson lacks. Drive both as Tucson is also available with good discounts . Then go ahead with what your heart says. Mind you Tucson doesn't sell even one third of Compass. Compass makes sense only if you don't compare it with a segment lower vehicles.

What would be the fate of the unsold bs4 cars at the dealerships ? Can someone their some light. TIA.

The dealers will get the unsold cars registered in their name and sell it with even higher discounts. Only thing being if you buy those cars , you will be the second owner.

In Mumbai, I got an offer from a Jeep dealer for. 1.76 lac discount on the Limited Plus petrol auto BS4.

They will probably offer a bit more discount on the Compass by mid March I reckon,I recently saw an Advert in the TOI, for the alturas at 4 lac discount, if stocks spillover to mid March, dealers might off load their inventory at much better discounts.

That would be really great for buyers, provided they have some unsold stock.

Any idea or rough estimate of percentage of discounts which we can expect, from past experiences.

Dealers are not stocking cars at all. They order it from the factory when they get a confirmed order. Especially for the slow moving and expensive cars.

You can expect discounts around 20 to 25 percent.
But also remember that you will be the second owner if you buy those cars and resale value will take a hit if you sell those later on.

All these discounts are subject to availability. If the particular dealer sells out all the cars before deadline, then you are out of luck.

Seeing a lot of offers for leasing cars from various lease service providers. It appears to avoid the negative brand image that is created by deep discounts, manufacturers are striking deals with leasing providers to offload vehicles in bulk to them at a deep discount.

This way they get rid of BS4 stocks ahead of time and the end-customer doesn't see big discounts at dealerships.

This is the strategy formulated after learnings from the last time an emissions regulation change kicked in.

I am seeing offers on luxury cars, budget cars as well as newer EVs as well like Nexon EV. Cars are available in commercial registration as well as private registration (private white plate is a higher lease amount).

For example - TorqueX is offering leasing plans for several vehicles. I looked at it but decided to wait and see if any discounts hit the showrooms towards mid-march. Dealers cannot afford to flirt around till the end of March because RTOs have been instructed to NOT register BS4 vehicles with a strict deadline. The dealers will try to offload well in advance to avoid this scenario.

Question is, will dealers even have cars to offload if leasing providers grab whatever stocks are pending?

Interesting times for the thieves among us but it is still better to wait and watch until March 15.

Agree..I doubt there would be a fire sale kind of scenario this time except for a very few manufacturers / models. For most manufacturers, the challenge this time is having BS6 products from 1st April and not so much selling out the BS4 stock.
My Marazzo was a BS4 but order was placed when I booked it in Jan'20.

Getting a Jeep Compass diesel manual 4*2 Limited Plus BS4 at 50k discount on ex showroom. The dealer won’t budge any further.

Need to make a call in the next few hours. Last car probably. Have given booking amount. Please advise.

[Abhishek_Garg]

50K discount for BS4 does not makes sense in Feb-March. Please buy only BS6 now. Why to get outdated one only for very little discount? Remember that resale value will dip significantly more for any BS4 car.

[giribhai]

Few points:

BS6 is 1.25 lakh expensive than BS4 and add 0.5 to it so that becomes 1.75 lakh;

Jeep Compass Limited plus never had any discount in it’s life cycle (except for insurance discounts maybe);

Not too concerned about resale as I am picking this over Innova and plan to keep it for 8-10 years;

Colour of choice is available, based on discussions this is probably the last car in stock so dealer has no incentive to sell it at a discount.

Would you still recommend to wait for BS6 ?more so as Limited variant is being discontinued so I might have to settle for Longitude at same price or spend way more.

I spoke to a couple of BMW Dealers today, both of them confirmed that they have BS4 520d's available in multiple color options. It would be worth trying to get a good deal by Early/Mid March considering the stocks last! One SA was willing to offer me a great value for my F10 + exchange benefits + Rs XXXX worth of accessories
