Waiting for the delivery... The vehicle has reached Bangalore but divine intervention (Mahashivarathri holiday) is delaying registration and delivery to Wednesday (Tuesday supposedly inauspicious as per Wifey). |

An important family event in life - need it before March 25th (Thats 6 1/2 months after we made the booking). BUT 1. Dealer was not willing to commit anything. They were telling its not possible. 2. Dec 29th to Jan 29th, my booking status moved from 32nd to 16th. To Feb 20 - it remained at 16. Suspicious and irritating. 3. Price hikes. It was their fault they had strike in factory, and ended up having big hikes. Customers should have been protected. (Atleast those who booked way earlier). Price hike by itself was a minor issue. Major issue was the lack of commitment towards a delivery date (After 6 1/2 months) | |

| ![]() Wow, unbelievable. Having followed your posts from swift to cruze to rapid and vento, the final choice of the car was totally unexpected. But knowing the kind of research you did, you would have evaluated all the options before making a final decision. Congratulations and all the very best. I hope there would not be any more changes now:-) Quote:

And then - the GP 2012 TD happened! It had almost everything I expected - in a small sized package that will fit in my garage. Managed to put a big childish grin on my face, which lasted 30 mins after the drive ended. Why spent more then? ![]() | ||

| ![]() I took delivery of my Civic yesterday. Will take time to write full report. Meanwhile, I wonder whether I have been tricked by the dealership. I negotiated for a specific OTR price that included their free insurance and discounts. However what I find is, they reduced ex-showroom price in invoice and hence all related cost went down (road tax, insurance etc) to match agreed OTR. Is this the practice? Isn't there specific mention of Discounts with full ex-showroom price invoiced? Please share how negotiated discounts were accounted in your deals. |

| ![]() Unless it gives you some problem with tax or your own accounting, I would not be at all concerned with how they account for the final figure, so long as it is the actual final OTR figure that you were expecting. |

Sorry Mobike, missed this post. Got delivery this Monday, so I've been a little besotted with the car for the last couple of days. Ownership report to follow this weekend after I get my new shoes ![]() Managed to get a good deal on the LTZ.... OTR (Navi-Mumbai) is 15.84L with the 0% Depreciation insurance, but I paid 15.1, and that's AFTER getting their premium carpet mats, mudflaps, and some 3M teflon coating thrown in. Detailed Post to follow in a separate thread by this weekend. | |

Could you please tell me what was the final amount you paid and what all freebies other than the mat/mud flaps were offered? I am booking mine tomorrow, so this info will help me in negotiating better! Last edited by ganeshram : 24th February 2012 at 14:48. Reason: Missed an earlier post | |
