Booking Date: Jan 31 2012
Color: Caviar Black
Delivery Date: 20th Feb
Dealer & City: Nikhil Chevrolet, Bombay

Make : Volkswagen
Model : Polo
Variant : 1.6, Highline
Fuel : Petrol
Booking Date : 3 Feb 2012
Color : Glacier Blue
Expected Delivery Date : Maybe by 10th
Dealer & City : Abbra, Chennai
Freebies : None. 50,000 discount on 2011 model*
Others :

Approached Sundaram, who only had white or silver 2011. A friend of a friend found us a glacier-blue at Abbra. Initial experience of the dealership was a bit dim, but they brought a test car to the house the next day, allowed me a decent-duration drive, and we signed up after that.

Booked. Not yet seen, not yet delivered....

*There have been a variety of offers on 2011 stock, which I think are officially closed, but may still be dribbling on whilst they still have cars to sell.

And after 4 days I wanted to cancel the booking for the Beat D and the dealer forfeited 5000 bucks out of total 10000. Utterly rubbish thing to see.

Accessories: None

Pricing:
- OTR Price --> 6.46L
- Discounts:
  - Cash Discount + Corporate Offer = 12k, and insurance on my own.

Guys, is there any other discounts going on for Punto now? Should I haggle for more?

It might be a very late reply :( . Extended warranty is 80 k kms ?? When i was booking SE informed me 1.5lakh KMS could you please check with your dealer.

Apart from what you mentioned i was offered car cover , Garware sunfilm and fabric seat cover .

But i didn't get the cash discount only 5k corporate discount mostly you can bargain for the above mentioned as well, If you haven't taken the delivery
