@Kiren - from Axis Bank.

I pitted HDFC, Axis, Kotak against each other. At this point - both kotak and Axis are offering me 9.25. The only sore point being Kotak's Stamp Duty fees are almost 2K higher than Axis.

How the heck did you manage to get a GETZ CRDi? I thought they were all sold out months ago.

Congratulations. Have fun with your road rocket.

Sujay,

I bought a Xylo last week and at that time I was also considering the Innova and this is what they offered me on a Red Innova VX 8-str:

- Mud Flaps (Moulded) Rs 675
- Fabric Floor Mats + Matching Luggage Mat Rs 1700 + Rs 500
- Muffler Cutter (don't know what this is)

The above three were offered free without me even asking. I then negotiated the following:

- Additional free accessories worth Rs 12,000 (I chose Rear Spoiler Rs 7600, Car Cover Rs 1800, Bumper Protectors Rs 1600, Fender Pole Rs 600 and a car cleaning kit)
- Match the showroom quoted insurance premium of Rs 31,302 with the quote I got directly from Bajaj Allianz - about Rs 26,000, don't remember the exact amount.

I was able to do this by showing the sales guy a TeamBHP member's post about his purchase of an Innova VX in Hyderabad in July where he got a 20K cash discount plus some free accessories.

Of course discounts and offers vary from region to region, but still, I think you can negotiate and get some more free stuff with your VX.

Good luck.

booked a Ritz Zxi on the 28th August, fire-brick red. After waiting for so long, the consignment came without any car in my colour, and the only two in the dealership had been booked earlier. Now they tell me I will get first dibs on a silver Zxi next week. In the meantime, have sold my Getz and am getting by with my bil's old Matiz!

Guys... what other freebies can I squeeze? If I am unable to negotiate a sunfilm from them, where in Pune should I look? Also any idea if decent seat covers are available in the market (~10k)?
