New Car Discount Negotiation Guide : An Article

Thanks Banwarijee excellent write up

The article is at the right time for me. It would help a lot for bargain during buying. I feel such discounts to be negotiated and fixed (put on paper) before paying booking amount. Please guide, How one should proceed so as to avoid confusion/cheating ?

Dose dealer gives us a proforma invoice (with price & discount break up) at the time of booking ? One more thing is Ex Showroom price which is applicable at the time of delivery/Invoicing. Are there any chances that a dealer play around the prices ? How to ensure exact price?  

Does any one have idea regarding the commission offered by manufacturers to dealers.

Recently some body told me that maruti is giving only 3% as commission to its dealers. Is it true. Is there any standard or does it vary with manfacturers/models?

With this info we can know the limit of discount offerable by the dealer.

where is the link? it is broken

Post edited to append/quote the link that is being referred to.

ikkru the link works just fine.

Right click on the same and open in a different tab or window.

It wasn't working last night - neither in the same window nor in another - tried that 2-3 times.  Must have got resolved thereafter

The link is not broken, but there is some technical issue. While we resolve it, you try accessing it, replace the ndtvauto.carwale.com to www.carwale.com in the URL and it will work just fine.

Good article..

If dealer is not willing to give discount at all, what other freebies can we ask for?

Do dealers do Insurance/RTO for free? Then these are HUGE savings.

Apart from these what can be other freebies... music system/speakers, seat covers, wheel covers... What can we ask for if dealer doesn't want to let his cash component go?

yes,

it will work only with www.carewale.com/.... NOT with ndtvauto.carwale.......

so, it will not show the article, if we click from the link. please resolve the problem

I think it is resolved...
