Let me give this a shot. Hopefully something good will come out of this.

If your dealer is calling you, it means that they have the vehicle in stock and I believe you stand a great chance of getting the Jimny at your price.

This is a tricky situation. As long as the dealer has the Jimny in stock, and it's the same variant that you are seeking and if there are no other inquiry for the vehicle, there's all the probability that the dealer will cave in and you get it at your quoted price.

Here in South, I have been speaking with 4 Maruti dealers and I have noticed something different. The dealers haven't kept any Jimny stock and it's against order only. They said that it will take 2-3 weeks to get the Jimny from factory after placing the order. Now, because they don't have any unsold inventory of Jimny, they are not budging from the company offer as they have nothing to lose.

Finally, I was able to close my deal with one dealer who had one white Alpha Automatic Jimny in transit and I was able to extract some dealer end cash discount (they had no new enquiries for Jimny). I have inspected the vehicle and will take delivery shortly.

So, if the dealer has unsold inventory of Jimny in his stock yard, you are in luck and you could get your desired price. On the other hand, if the dealer doesn't have any Jimny stock, then it's game over for the prospective buyer hoping for a large discount.

So, the bottom line is this. First inquire if the dealer has the inventory of the vehicle variant that you are seeking. If he has it in his stock yard then push for better deal. If the dealer doesn't have your variant in stock, then look for some other dealer who has the inventory in his stock yard and go behind it. No stock No discount. Only when the unsold stock is there, the discount follows. So, check the dealer's inventory before you make any move.

Yes, he has one blue black alpha AT in stock. Also, in Srinagar the traffic chaos is less and people are not into Automatics yet. So the demand for that particular variant is less. Even if I don't get the vehicle, I am not in a rush and I will be happy to take a 2nd hand one and I know there are many wannabe offroaders willing to sell one.

VW Hadapsar seems to be disinterested in making any lucrative deal
Can you please share the quote breakup, if you received any quote around 17.5-18L for the Topline AT from Wakad showroom, it would help in my further negotiations.
I have also contacted VW Pashan, they are yet to come back to me with their best quote.

Hello,

Does anyone have a line of end of year offers on the Harrier / XUV 700 / Compass in Bangalore?

[SixPistons]

Any offers on elevate vx/zx cvt in Delhi? An uncle of mine is considering against Grand Vitara Delta Nov manufactured that he is getting for around 14 on road, incl. insurance and taxes, immediately available.
So a discount of around 1.5 lacs or so.

[AutoLearner]

Picked a New VolksWagen TIGUAN Nightshade Blue From a Delhi based dealer in the first week of November. Bought the car though a corporate lease. This dealer provided a deal which was around 25K better than the dealers in Gurgaon.

Is this price for GV automatic? Can you share the name of the dealer, any idea if he has more stock?

If you get to know about real offers on Elevate automatic, please share that too .

Thanks!

[SixPistons]

He cancelled on the Elevate, felt it was too boxy and lacking in features. Instead sticking with the GV. I will ask around and let you know which Nexa Dealer this was.

[AutoLearner]

By mistake, I added 80K extra in the price (It was dealer's insurance). Total Final Price comes out to be 37.47L.

After waiting for 7 months (& flirting with other options), my dealer finally confirmed that they would be allotting me my preference XUV 3XO (AX5L AT) in current batch.

However, I am currently not sure if I want to spend 17L on a ICE car with some amazing EVs on the horizon (looking at you BE 6!). Fellow members, I would like to gather your thoughts on whether is this a good time to buy a decently expensive ICE car? I fear if these would lose value rather quick and would be difficult to sell at a decent price 5-7 years down the line. We are a young couple in early 30s and would have only 1 car in our garage.

Also, if I choose to proceed, should I be buying a Dec 2024 mfg car or wait for Jan 2025? I don't think it matters much as long as registration happens in Jan, but please share your thoughts.

Thanks a ton in advance in helping me make a decision.

Year of manufacturing is important, registration year doesn't matter. If you buy Dec model but register in Jan, it'd still be referred to as 2024 model for resale.

The auto industry and car market looks at manufacturing year to indicate how old the car is.

Your AX5L will be considered MY2024 car and will be a year old in Jan 2025 as indicated by @Aviator_guy in previous post. This 1 year difference should not matter, if you are going to keep the car for more than 7 or 10 years.

Regarding BEV dilemma:
I have got a feeler from my SA that a lot of people are leaning towards new Mahindra BEV after 26th November launch.
SA has indicated that BE 6, XEV 9E demo car may be available later in January 2025 and deliveries might be in February 2025 or March 2025.
The dates are not officially communicated by Mahindra and are speculations from dealerships.


XUV 3XO AX5L at its current price is VFM car as compared to other sub 4m cars out there due to below reasons

1. TC gearbox with turbo petrol (rare combination in current sub 4m SUV lineup)
2. ADAS level 2
3. EPB with auto hold
4. Auto dimming IRVM
5. Wider rear bench seat

I was looking to buy an Invicto Alpha+, but apparently all car dealerships in Delhi / NCR have run out of this variant of Invicto (Except Nexa Blue variant)

Attached is the final quote provided to me 5 days back. Just wanted to check if any one is aware that this variant as available in any nearby regions of Delhi?

The insurance quoted is still high (I work in the insurance sector so I know what would be the best price). But still buying the insurance from the dealer because of the other addons they have provided.
