Many congratulations Ajay on booking the S-cross. Strange isn't it that you have not received any discounts. Have you tried the other Nexa showrooms in Pune?

Save up to Rs 90,000 on the S-Cross. In a bid to ramp up the sales of its recently launched S-Cross, Maruti’s Nexa dealerships are offering the DDiS 200 version with a loyalty bonus of Rs 40,000, if you already own a Maruti car and plan on an upgrade. There is a steeper discount on the more powerful S-Cross DDiS 320 variants, which get the same Rs 40,000 bonus in addition to a cash benefit of Rs 50,000 if you opt for Maruti finance on the deal.

Please check with another NEXA showroom if possible.

As luck would have it, I got a call from another NEXA dealer in Pune. He said he is ready to give me THE best offer on 1.3 Zeta and Alpha variants. After that call, I called my dealer and he said that he can not only match the offer, but will better it.

Customer is king !

Something similar happened to me when I was looking for a car. The dealer at Noida not only said that kinetic blue is out of production,but also was offering no discounts.
Changed the dealer and got my favourite colour for 30k less!

I managed to extract 35k discount from the dealer on the Zeta. I am now getting art leather seats of best quality possible (nothing like genuine leather on Alpha) and spoiler as a deal.

Delivery will be only after Diwali.

Hi Ajay & Kontinuity - is the ROI fixed or Floating. Have been loan shopping and keep hearing that ROI for Govt bank loans are floating and not fixed.

Spot on brother! Mine is indeed a floating interest loan. However I'm going to use overdraft facility and keep the interest component to a minimum.

Yup. Its floating rate. However SBI is very good to deal with in terms of repayment, reducing rate, recurring linkage and other good facilities. I am also going for insurance against loan as an add-on.

BTW, I got loan approval message as i am typing. Happy!!! Should get my S Cross by Thursday i believe.
Cheers!
