What would be the price of Indigo CS now? It was 3.89 starting before, right? Man, thats huge VFM!

EDIT: Just saw it was 3.79L before!!!

Huge price cuts on small cars is a welcome move by the govt. But I think the cars like i 10 Megna which had ex-showroom price of 4 Lac plus, now fall below 4 lac mark after 12k cut on ex showroom price.

This results in an additional difference of 10k on road tax/registration.

The total price cut therefore is 12k + 10K = 22 K!

btw, are there any more cars benifiting similarly?

Good to know this. How much is the OTR price, before and after budget?

Shall confirm this asap. Going to the dealer in the evening.

Has the price cut already taken place? I thought it's effective 1st April.

Yes, it has. You will get a car on new prices if you buy it today onwards. My bro got spark LS yesterday with a price cut of 10k

Steel prices are going to increase . So i think the car prices are going to increase again due to increast in input costs . So , avail this benefit as soon as possible .

But today i called GM helpline, they said no discounts like they had (30-40k) in feb. same price they said as listed on chevyspark website.

This would mean the end of dealer discounts. It had happened the last time when the excise duty was reduced. All car companies quietly stopped/reduced the dealer discounts.

Sahil · 3rd March 2008, 15:36

What about Maruti? Have they reduced the Swifts prices?

@akash- let us know if the dealer offers you any discount when you head there this evening.

maruti has reduced the prices for swift diesel by 18K. No reduction in prices for petrol. We enquired from one of the maruti dealers in pune here
