No let up. In fact, the Safari ex-showroom price has increased by about 1k between Oct and Nov. At least, in Delhi, it has. And the discount continues to be the same - 50% off on insurance.

My Safari is a light gold as well. The colour almost looks silver under low light conditions.

The light gold wasnt my favourite colour but I selected it on practical considerations - dirt & scratches dont show much and it doesn't get as hot in sunlight as a black or cycus grey (my first choices). However the colour has grown on me and I rather like it now.

Hi bkishore,

Can you share the details of the deal you got from Concorde?

Thx

Thanks so much for the writeup.

Even my Parents are refusing to get into my SIERRA because I have to tilt the seats all the time. I'm considering going for the cheapest possible SAFARI that I could get.

I'm mechanically inclined, so its ok for me to get a shunted out vehicle and painfully restore it at leisure. I don't want to buy one on loan, its going to be part funded by the SIERRA and part from my savings. I'm looking at a 10 year old model.

I'm really happy reading about the rear seat space. I've never even touched a SAFARI, leave alone sat in one or driven one, but its on my radar screen now. Want to time my purchase right, so that I can sqeeze the most when the economy is doing bad

Hi Anshuman,

At the time of the purchase, the on-road price of the vehicle was 13.11lac. My company policy did not allow me to go for a vehicle above 12.5 lacs(30k EMI restriction). I conveyed the same to them and they came up with the 12.5 lac quote.
This was the price(12.5) just before the hike in excise duty. So i assume they had they vehicle in their yard and giving it at the pre-hike price. This also came with the rider saying " please dont reveal this to any other dealers" I happily agreed.

Congratulations Kishore!!

It is a good buy. Did you go for 4X4 option? I recently got my Safari VX 4X4. I went for black color. I noticed the same problems you have mentioned.

I went for v-kool Sun film (including the wind shield). It is very effective.

Once again, congratulation. Happy driving.

Cheers

Thank you KVS. I went for 4x2. By the way Safari looks stunning in Black. That was my first choice as well. But once bitten twice shy.

hey Kishore, i'm surprised about how i missed your thread. How is the visiblity after you have put sun film on the wind shield ? Especially when its raining and if in case you have not upgraded from OEM lamps. I have been thinking of doing it but i was discouraged when i spoke to few guys who did not recommend.

Congrats for your old new beast and new old palio.
