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

American cars are known for their maintenance troubles. My suggestion would be that 18K would be great investment for the cashless maintenance if all there are no hidden charges. It will give you peace of mind which is invaluable !!!

Curiosity im surprised, because the sales manager was adamant on 1 lac as booking amount. Said this is guideline from Honda SIEL for Jazz.

Not really, however did touch 150 over a certain stretch! Its time to 'run in' you see. Waiting to complete 1000-1200 Kms. Have completed 600 already in the 4 days of ownership!

A fellow Bhpian and myself had gone to the dealer, both of us booked and the booking was done at 25k each. Rest of the dealerships are asking for 50k each. Nowhere in Mumbai have I heard a booking amount of 1L. I think it's city specific. Or probably they are just doing what other dealers are doing.

@Ric.Burns

Congratulations and welcome to T-BHP, You have booked a gem of a car and the deal seems good enough. I think you can do away with the 3M coating and get an anti rust underbody coating as altenative. Hope to read your ownsership thread soon.

Thanks a lot ghodlur! im planning on getting it outside.

Gem indeed. i cancelled my booking on Jazz after the GP TD, 16k km abused TD vehicle didnt show any rattle (its a heaven compared to my earlier swift zxi ) and loads of torque of a diesel. infact this is my first oil burner.

I felt its actually not needed as the car is not going to eat too much miles,so diverted the money to ICE

My car has arrived at the showroom ,went there to inspect the car and noted down the VIN & Engine number .Registration will happen tomorrow

I'm preparing my initial ownership thread,will be up post delivery

The dealer in Chennai tells me Honda had advised a booking amount of 25k but they are only taking 10k. They had close to 60 bookings by Wesnesday, according to the Sales Exec.

So finally the Polo 1.6 won. Congratulations, Volkman!

What was the final decider, vis-a-vis the Jazz? The GC of Jazz or offers on the Polo?

Congrats volkman10! Fab choice you made. Bangalore car prices are out of the roof man. The same Polo 1.6 costs flat 7 lacs in Pune. Now it must be even cheaper with all the offers floating around.
