15k discount I got for buying some accessories from Honda. Would reveal the list of accessories when I release my thread. Just keeping something under wraps for a surprise later.

Extended warranty for 2 years I think is around 6,200 AFAIK. Doubt dealer would have obliged had it been 12k.

Is it just Extended Warranty or Extended Warranty + RSA? I'm not sure about the price of just extended warranty, but the price list we were given had 10,200 for Extended Warranty and RSA.

Maybe just extended warranty is 6200.

Congrats @crazybiker:thumbs up,

I guess yours is the first Diesel Beat to be booked on T-BHP (I may be wrong). Did you take the Td before the booking? How was the experience, I guess you must be saving it for the ownership thread.

You are better off buying the stuff from outside rather than take it from the dealer. Did you opt for the cashless maintenance too?

@ghodlur - Thanks , I think mine is the second Beat Diesel, bhpian fangface was first and its a Beat LT(O)

I had put my TD experience on Beat Diesel TD & review thread,so far i have managed to take 4 TestDrives in 3 different cars :D

No i didn't opt for cashless maintenance as my budget is already stretched from 4 lakhs to 5.2 lakhs:) , cashless maintenance costs 18k for 3years/45K km
