What is the discount that one can pitch for with the dealer for Honda Jazz - i am looking for it in Ahmedabad, but discount range from any city should help.

Initial quote has offered a 35k discount on the top ZX CVT trim - if insurance is taken from the dealer (which itself is 20k overpriced at 42k).

Is this a dealer discount or a discount from Mahindra?

I'm planning to book Duster RxZ 1.3L Turbo CVT model, scheduled a test drive tomorrow.

1. Dealer is offering an unsold 2020 model, is it recommendable to take advantage of it? Or should i totally avoid? I can do a detailed PDI
2. What discount range i can bargain usually at a Renault dealer based on your experience?
3. How is 1.3l Turbo and CVT experience? Any trouble reported by owners

My cousin who works in Anant Mahindra (Bannerghatta road, opp IIM) mentioned this to me today. Not sure if the discount is from showroom or Mahindra. I am assuming it to be from Mahindra.

I am booking a Hyundai Creta next week and even after talking to multiple dealers, none of them are ready to budge on the insurance or offer a discount even on the accessories if booked through them. I am exploring the option of booking the accessories via the Mobis app and then getting them fitted via an aftermarket shop. The dealers are not even ready to waive off the fitment charges even if accessories and insurance taken from them. Such high-handed attitude! Also, any BHP-ians who have bought the Creta recently, was the insurance bundled into the deal and did they offer a complimentary anti-rust or accessories along with it?

The Creta has seen multiple price hikes since the time it launched last year and the buoyant response has just emboldened these dealers to treat customers with absolute disdain. Gone are the days when the policy used to be "Customer is king!" We are now at the mercy of these dealers.

Purchased Creta EX petrol in December 2020. The dealer did not allow us to buy the insurance from outside but matched the price. Paid around 36k for the insurance. Hope it helps. This was Mahadev Hyundai, faridabad.

What should be the OTR price in Bangalore for MY20 Jaguar XE SE250 which is the display vehicle in the showroom?

The sales guy quoted 64 lakhs and indicated 2 lakhs discounts. Sounds ridiculous offer. I think 50-52 should be reasonable? What do fellow members suggest. Thanks

Is it Test Drive car or just display? I know we bhpins are generally opposed to anything remotely driven/test ridden etc., but I’d be open (and bargain hard) if it’s just show vehicle, not driven.

Around 50 will be good price. Remember, it’s brand new - just on display.

Off topic: I personally think 3 is equally or more fun to drive, and infinitely more reliable so..

It's just a display vehicle. Even i am keen to pick up a 3 series. Its a Head vs heart! I have always desired to own a Jag and if a great offer is there then my heart compells me not to ignore.

But anything more than 50 will be too much for last year vehicle which has been on display

2020 vehicle etc. won’t matter as much if you plan to keep the vehicle longer, even when you factor in resale value - which frankly will be terrible for any luxury vehicle so why bother?

Use 2020 to drive the price down I’d say. If your heart really wants a Jag then go for it. Bimmer is just easier to maintain with BRI-BSI etc. it’s just as much fun (so why the heart vs head thing, you’re not buying Volvo��)

Duster has lost its charm when it failed to bring the diesel upgrade of its famous K9K Engine to BS VI specification. Now with no alternative they tried this 1.3 L petrol engine and sales has severely plummeted to its bottom. Now there is a rumour that Renault will pull the plug on Duster and attempt to bring some other alternate (variant of Magnite perhaps, no idea). If this car goes out of production, I would not want to own this. The Petrol version has no charm, IMHO, to be considered for ownership even after it goes out of sale.

1. Depends on the discount being offered, dealer's reputation, vehicle condition etc. Is the discount worth considering that its 1 year old?
2. I recently visited the dealer and asked for the bottom price as if I am serious buyer. They offered 75K off excluding exchange bonus. I didn't negotiate as I am not planning for a new car at the moment. So i guess, you can bargain hard for more considering that this model will be discontinued in few months.
3. You may want to refer to detailed review by GTO on this one. I test drove it few months back and it was damn good.

Tata motors seem to be planning for a third hike this year. While Tiago/Nexon prices were hiked in Jan, Altroz/Safari prices were hiked in May.

https://www.drivespark.com/four-whee...28-034662.html

Reflecting this is the statement from Shailesh Chandra, President of the Passenger Vehicles Business Unit at Tata Motors. He said, "We have seen a very steep increase in the prices of steel and precious metals over the last one year. The financial impact of the increase in commodity prices is in the range of 8-8.5 percent of our revenues in the past one year.
