Now, we pay ~18% towards registration, LTT etc. and the vehicle is approximately 1- 1.5 lacs more expensive in Bangalore, than in other cities. KK28 has quoted 19.25 lacs for W10 FWD in Bangalore, and hence, isn't your quote for 19.38 lacs for W8 AWD in Mumbai on the higher side? Have you taken quotes from other dealers as well. Are you buying insurance from the dealer? Dealers in Bangalore quote 70K for insurance, and then offer discount on them. I took an alternate quote from policy bazaar, haggled like crazy and finally paid the dealer 40K for ICICI Lombard, and this is zero depreciation.

My dealer told me that they receive different units for W8 and other variants. Not sure if it is the same manufacturer. They insist on drilling the bumper, rather than installing on the camera bracket near the rear number plate. Inadequate length of wiring/ harness was the reason given to me. I am happy with the camera, including when I have to use it in my poorly lit basement parking. Please note, the dynamic green lines that we see in the infotainment screen wont work- they will remain straight even if you turn your steering wheel.

Well understood the information on the reverse camera so is there a way to fix it without drilling the bumper. Is there any other camera in the market that you know of which will allow dynamic assistance like in the W10.
Did you get the refresh W8 or the older one without push button.
Cheers!

I got the refreshed W8. I had booked mine in mid-Feb, but there was a delay in production, and got the refreshed model in March (every dark cloud has a silver lining!) I did not have the time and inclination to research on the reverse cameras. I went with whatever was available with the dealer.

Hii have just edited the last post with dealership information you asked. Wow that's great that you got the refresh model. It's wonderful. Since it's a push button is there a request button on the driver door where you can open it with keys in your pocket.
Also what's the deal with the Purple Club. Is it any good.
Does the cheetah have Scuff plates for 1st two rows.

Regarding the pricing, I guess where I am coming from is that cars in the 15- 20 lacs bracket are atleast 1- 2 lacs more expensive in Bangalore. This is because of the high taxes we pay ~18%. So if KK28 is paying 19.25 lacs for a W10 FWD MT today, in Bangalore, then its price in Mumbai should be around 18 lacs, or less. And, a W8 AWD MT should be in that same price range. This is not to say that you would not have done your due diligence, just that I was surprised at seeing these two quotes- given that we in Bangalore constantly complain about high prices here.

The only thing that entices me about Purple club is that you get 3 nights 4 days stay (only stay) free for 4 people in Club Mahindra (non peak time obviously). Plus, once during the year, you can get a "spa"kinda car wash for your car at the dealer's workshop.

Scuff plates are optional accessory for W8, and yes, there is a request button on the driver's door.

Hii ajay that's a sweet deal. Do all xuv owners get the club membership or is there a criteria. So Scuff plates will have to be bought separately. Good to know there's a request button on driver's door. clap:

Have gotten used to it on my Grand i10.

You'll get the purple club membership a few days later in a courier along with the various vouchers you can use.

Something different occurred with me: I got it on the same day whilst handing over the key- the SA gave me the Purple Club membership and other eyecandy vouchers(Raymond and Domino's Pizza coupons).

Hey guys,
Just wanted to know if anyone has opted for the 3M (ANTIRUST + PAINT PROTECTION) package as part of the accessories list while taking delivery for the new XUV 500. The amount quoted is 12,206/- which includes both of the above. Sounds like a good deal. Any inputs :D
Individually, ANTIRUST = 7629/-
PAINT PROTECTION = 7629/-
