I agree. Why not have one base variant and option packs for the rest? That way, the ex showroom price remains the same, and you don't end up paying the state road tax for opting for climate control, 4 more speakers, LED headlamps etc on your car.

I'm glad that the BH registration is stopping states from this 'life tax' dacoity, which I felt has been a tool to fleece private car buyers who have the 'audacity' to buy a car. Not to mention the sheer arrogance of tax over tax.

A Safari XTA, which costs 20.09 lacs ex showroom attracts a road tax of 4.53 lacs, including the 1% TCS. The ex showroom price is with 50% GST, which means the actual cost of the vehicle is 10.05 lacs, and you're actually paying 14.5 lacs as tax..

As Skoda is also set to raise prices across the segment of vehicles, can anyone share what are the discounts on Octavia & Superb in respective cities.

and then you pay ~60% tax on fuel to run it and if you want to run it on proper roads you pay highway/expressway toll

Did anyone experience this? Wonder if it is a policy of Audi India.
Lol! Audi Hyderabad discounts are a joke. They seem to be happy with Q8 sales and the margins they make on it. Was quoted 42 for Q2's highest variant and 65 for the A6. Happy to skip both at that price point.

Sorry for continuing the off-topic posts

Not according to this news article

https://www.financialexpress.com/aut...buyer/1171205/

States that road tax is only to be levied on invoice price and not ex-showroom value. Few more instances of this even in 2019. Dealers still bill it like that because the RTA won't budge.

It's actually 28% GST plus 22% Cess.

28+22=50, which is what the buyer ends up paying, right, It doesn't matter if it's cess or tax, it's all going in the same bucket.

Here's the breakup for different segments, which would be useful in calculating the pre-GST pricing for BH registration road tax.

Bolero Neo gets its first price hike of Rs. 30,000 across all variants... Have they even delivered any N10 Optional variant at the original launch price??
Scorpio and Marazzo specific variants have also received price hike.

Well reading your post made me rush out to the Audi Gurugram who have quoted a discount of 10-12l off the ex showroom price based on the variant selected. The actual negotiations will happen once I confirm the variant.

It seems since you got your technology variant at approx 37l OTR so I assume that the premium will be available at a mouth watering price of 32l OTR considering you have got a quote of 28l for ex showroom.

Yes, the final price came out to be 32L Ex + 3.6L RTO + 60K Insurance on (32L IDV)=36.2L on road
I have been told the road tax is calculated at the ex showroom price before GST. Its comes around 36L so a 10% of it is the RTO tax.
They provided myaudi connect device worth 19k as well as body cover 20k and all season mats 5k complimentary as well.
I got 1.5 L as additional discount for exchange and SBI Yono app so my actual OTR is 34.7L .
They also have additional discounts for professionals like Dr. Adv. Etc. I guess to the tune of 1L. Please enquire that as well.
I will bargain for extended warranty when they call me for the same.

Are these prices for Q2 actually good enough? All the stock of Q2 lying with the dealers is 2020 manufactured and in just 2 months from now, it’s gonna be 2 years old.

Considering BMW X5 Diesel to buy by end of this year. It is Rs.79 lacs ex-showroom in Bangalore. My leasing firm will take care of insurance etc.

What typical discounts can I look for? Is asking for Rs.70 - 72 lacs too much to expect?

Well the SA stated that the MY is 2020 and the same is a CBU unit and these discounts are of a nature of a clearance. The Q2 was introduced in India in Oct 20 so these discounts are quite tempting.

Did you get a mat for the boot as well? The A4 did not come with one and the ones available locally are either too large or way too small. The car cover, did you get one of those black color all weather ones they have available on the myaudi app, or the regular silver one?

Please share more details on the SBI Yono app for prospective buyers. Is the discount available for all, or limited to SBI Bank account holders, or similar? For under 35 Lacs you clearly made a killing of the Q2 purchase!

How much is the extended warranty for 2+3 years on the Q2?
