Infractions: 0/2 (8) | good decision thats one heck of a tough beast and wont let you down. the Bolero is available in its 4WD avatar as SLX with AC and Power Steering which variant will be most suitable for your requirement. It is also available as the 4WD INVADER with a soft top, no AC, no Power Steering - this is also a good vehicle but wont suit your requirement as it is more of a rural jeep type thing. The innova will cosset all your senior management types with its proven comfort and reliability especially for the highway trips. you have made good decisions in my opinion Quote:

| Isnt Bolero SLX 4WD BS-II compliant only? I though the last date for registering non-BS3 or above vehicles is around or passed or may be March 2010. You may want your dealer to do a quick check on this. Quote:
Not nitpicking - but reminding of the prices I saw earlier during my selection days - the like-to-like variant in safari 4wd which has ABS is GX which is 10.72 Lakhs ex-showroom and scorp vlx 4wd with ABS is 10.16 lakhs IMHO in Bangalore. Agreed that entry level 4WD (Ex) is much cheaper. Cheers | |

Infractions: 0/2 (8) | hi adzegeek no trouble - i havent checked any of these prices in the recent past - just gave a rough indication in the post. Entry level Safari with 4WD would be the EX since its on road price itself would come to about 11 ish. but the gentleman appears to have made his decision in favour of the Bolero for On Site and Innova to get to the Site via the Highway. Your point about bolero BS compliance is a good one. The Bolero SLX comes with the XD3PU engine in its 4WD avatar and that engine being older is BS 2 compliant only. Unless of course they've changed things recently and stuck a 4WD in the Crde Bolero Storm in which case it should be BS 3 compliant. Quote:

Since it is a company owned vehicle, it wouldnt matter much but for someone's own hard earned money, the closure of re-registrations when you move cities with a BS-II vehcile will come early - thats not nice. Boleros will last that much time for sure. | |

Infractions: 0/2 (8) | if they really want to do some good things on the emission front they should knock out all the public transport and goods transport vehicles which are older than 12-15 years first! instead of continually jamming the private vehicle buyer! Quote:

Infractions: 0/2 (8) | correct - there is a waiting period. typically 4-5 weeks as far as I am told by the Bangalore Mahindra dealer whom I go to. Quote:
