Hi Congrats to you and your wife.

I thought of your soon review when we are discussing about the freebies in other threads.

Hope this is the good deal I heard so far. As I am planning for sports variant, I hope I will add my cent here soon.

Congrats on your new buy and the freebies list really surprises me. Never saw these many freebies

Looks like recession effect. Good for you.

Congrats on your new car!

Nice write up, enjoyed reading it!

kuttapan · 29th November 2008, 04:23

Congratulations on your new car and you freebie list is long, really long. Good bargaining skills, eh?

Do report back on the FE part, we are waiting for it.

adityamunshi · 29th November 2008, 08:16

Congratulations Avi!!

And thats probably the longest list of discounts and freebies ive ever seen.

BTW, how come you decided to settle for the Aug 08 manufactured car ?

absynthguzzler · 29th November 2008, 08:32

Think i figured out why Avi's bought this car

He doesn't want a "Baby on Board" sticker on his Petefied Crdi!!!!

.Good planning to the future i must say

.

jokes apart, Nice Car dude.Nothin beats practicality.Congrats

Congrats for your purchase !
I'm astounded seeing your long freebies list. I had gone personally to Himgiri hyundai yesterday to check out the prices and all. And they were offering only 5k discount and free extended warranty.
Making Sprotz MT New Delhi OTR = 4.71L-5k = 4.66Lac

I personally found the car a litle overpriced by 20k-30k.

Is anybody getting a better deal than this in New Delhi ? coz the sales rep told me that its now company policy that dealers cant give any discounts apart from the ones set by the company.

Recession only in Hyderabad? I thought it is a global phenomena? It is purely negotiation skills as most of them were bluntly denied initially but they gave in after a lot of coaxing.

Thanks Kuttapan. After all a sales guy is expected to have alteast that "one quality"? Don't you think?

Thanks Aditya. As mentioned, white is not much in demand and this was confirmed by Hyundai themselves so i didnt think much and just made sure it was in perfect condition. Plus, got them to give me an extended warranty citing this reason. And, boy after all that list finally getting a warranty added was a bit tough. But, i did succeed in the end !

Everyone feels its slightly overpriced. I thought the same about Verna too but arent they selling like hot cakes? We gotta compromise somewhere and for the engine ( New engine in i10 and gem of a one in Verna) its worth doling out that extra.

tazmaan · 29th November 2008, 12:00

Great Car!! Congratulation and enjoy your new set of wheels. I had almost booked the i10 myself but eventually went for Swift DDIS ( Scheduled to be delivered on the 3rd Dec) because of my daily running.

CtrlAltDel · 29th November 2008, 12:35

congrats on the new ride Avi...! and pass my wishes to the missus too!

hope to see this car on the next long distance drive (in jan?)

I am also a fan of SwiftD but it did not meet our specific requirement that's why opted for this one. Congrats on your new ride? Which color are you getting?
