The "I Booked my Car" Thread

nitin.rai · 21st December 2011, 19:12

Need inputs on the below:
- need advice on a good audio (not exactly an ICE) but I listen to metal so should have a decent output. Better if the reverse camera can be integrated.
- alloys?
- suited keyless entry system? (no wire cuts)
- any recommended shops in Delhi/NCR where this can be done?

Booked a Honda City, corporate edition on 19/12/11. 6.99 L ex showroom. OTR 7.7 L. Expected delivery 1st week of Jan.

Congratulations. Which dealer in Delhi BTW? And also are there any sort of discount (corporate or govt) and free accessories with the car?

Thanks blue!
Courtesy Honda. Nothing free as of now; the deliveries start in 2012 so will get to know in the first week of Jan. Will keep you posted!

Congrats on the booking. Just one doubt: How come the booking date is 29/12/2011? Does that you are going to book on 29th or is it something else?

Thanks, buddy.

I left the booking amount with them and told them to officially book my car on the 29th, as it is an auspicious date according to my Dad. Couldn't say no to his astrological calculations.

Aaahhh, thought so. Astrology...till date except my marriage( I had least voice like every other groom), I have never done anything according to the position of the planets.

BTW, is the corporate edition a kind of an adjustment or sacrifice compared to the other variants or is it as good as it can get at this price? What I mean is did you feel some sort of cost cutting in this particular edition?

LOL tell me about it. One of the things which I have never believed in, but am forced to go along with, according to him.

"Ye ladka galat ghar me paida ho gaya hai. Brahman hone ka ek bhi gun isme nahi hai. Bhagwan jaane mera sab gyan ka kya hoga. Sab mere saath hi chala jayega. Ye to kabhi seekhega nahin."

I haven't seen the CE variant yet. The dealer had only a V MT for display (which was the only car they got from Honda for the launch). Deliveries are expected by the third quarter of January, so I will be visiting them again and checking out the CE in person. But I am confident that they wouldn't have done any cost cutting for the CE as well.

Only things missing in the CE are the frill features - everything else should be typical Honda quality.

Corporate discount, I picked up alloys & the number plate. Tints/Mats/fogs/door stripes were given for the price of the alloys.. I'm happy.

Anyone booked the 2012 Nano recently? What is the going rate? Is the 20000 Rs discount still on?

TIA!
