I have booked the new Ritz Diesel VDI [Silver Color with Red Interiors] last week and am getting the following Deal in Pune at Chowgule Industries Dealer:

OTR [Pune] - 6,67,978
Cash Discount - 22,000
Corporate Discount - 3,000
Exchange bonus - 15000

No other Freebies offered. Not even Mud Flaps, Floor Mats. Tried negotiating a lot but no luck.
There is a AD in today's Paper of only Upto 30,000 Discount on the New Ritz Diesel in Pune. [15,000 Consumer Offer and 15,000 Exchange Bonus].
I am going in for 0% Dep. from New India Assurance from the dealer and they have quoted it 21,000. I think it is a bit on the higher side. I will be using by 45% NCB of my old Car and paying a much lesser price.

Is this a Good Deal or is any better deal available in Pune on the Ritz Diesel ?

A combination of personal & work-related changes.
In all probability, I should take the same in Feb 2013 at the same dealer. A rare chance that I might be scouting for a dealer in Bangalore.

Make : Volkswagen
Model : Vento
Variant : Highline MT
Fuel : Diesel
Booking Date : 07 Dec 2012 (was a moving target)

I booked a Swift DZire Automatic on 26 October at Sai Service, Pune. I was shown a white DZire AT on 14 Dec with a chassis number ending in "FC". I rejected the car as "FC" indicates that the car was made in June 2012. (Thanks to tbhp for the VIN thread.) Sai Service does not seem to be at fault here. As per their warehouse records, which I got through an inside source, the car was dispatched from the plant on 5th Dec and received in Pune on 10th Dec.

Japanese companies are the biggest proponents of Just In Time strategy. It is kind of hard to believe that they would have this car in their inventory for six months. That too for a model that sells like hot cakes.

I have escalated the issue. They have a plant shutdown in the last week of Dec and they are unable to update me when a new car will be available. Looks like I have to wait till Jan end for the new car.

On-road price in Pune: 7.8 (including insurance and extended warranty)

Freebies: Plenty of headaches with a last-minute loan cancellation and fights with the bank on who will bear the cancellation and interest charges.
