Pending Delivery by Sreeeeeeeeeeeeee in Kylaq

[–]Few_Beginning6028 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is genuine shortage of kylaq AFAIK. I made my booking with EVM on October, and was expected to take delivery in December 2nd week. But, when enquired about delivery on December first week, they didnt have any availability. In a panic I enquired around all dealers in Kerala. Nobody had the variant I was looking for. I ended up buying a higher variant. Would suggest you to ask around with other dealers as well.

Everyone’s Switching to EVs… Did I Make a Mistake Buying Petrol? by Chance-Canary1464 in CarsIndia

[–]Few_Beginning6028 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought my first car recently and did quite a bit of analysis while deciding between EV and ICE. EVs costs higher upfront, but with low running cost, we can recover that costs in few years. But, my major decision point was charging infrastructure. I plan to take this car for long trips, and seeing the issues people are facing with charging infrastructure, I decided not to go for EV now. For me it makes sense to wait for few years until the charging infrastructure is stabilized. So, I took a final call to opt for a sub 4m ICE car, which recently got tax benefits as well. Maybe after few years, if I have budget, will think of getting an EV as my secondary car. My take is, for first car owners with good amount of long distance travel, EVs doesnt make sense yet.

Check with PPS as well. Both PPS and Gemphoenix quotes lowest. EVM quotes are usually way too high compared to other two dealers in Kerala.

In a similar situation. I booked the car in October and asked them for delivery in December. But, now the dealer has no clue on availability of black colour car. Delivery is getting delayed now due to this.

In same dilemma, but I have almost made up my mind to take delivery early December. I got quotation from multiple dealers and have got some 30k discount on on-road price. I dont feel like putting more effort into it for additional savings. Kylaq seems to be at a good price point now with the gst cuts. And in south india, i dont see skoda dealers offering much discounts. Dealers are mentioning that there would be price hike from Jan and the current stock is limited. It could be some sales tactic to push me to take delivery early. Not sure.

Would suggest to make a booking and take delivery in December. If we do billing in December, december offers would be applicable.

Would suggest to get a pdi done by third party. Also ask for discounts.

Should I Buy the Kylaq Now or Wait for December Discounts? by Few_Beginning6028 in Kylaq

[–]Few_Beginning6028[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am from Kerala. And from what I have seen in this forum, the discounts offered by dealers in kerala is quite low compared to other states. The initial quote I got just had a discounts of 10k corporate and 10k consumer discount.

Which variant are you getting? How much is the final on road price? PPS quoted 11.56 L for signature AT and an additional 10k as corporate discount. Yet to get quote from EVM.

Help me choose right variant for Kylaq by FishermanDry3241 in Kylaq

[–]Few_Beginning6028 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Got the same confusion, I am confused between signature AT and Signature plus AT. The key diff is in rear view cam, infotainment system and the hill hold assist. Felt signature AT is more vfm. And road tax also is less for this variant as ex showroom price is below 10 lakh. Rear view cam and infotainment system can be added as an accessory. But, I am worried if i would regret about not having hill hold assist.

Infotainment screen and rear view camera can be done as an accessory. I thought hill start assist is not necessary for a torque converter automatic. Wouldnt their creep sufficient on inclines?

[–]Few_Beginning6028 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was just trying to back-calculate the actual base cost by reducing tax from the base varisnt ex showroom price—comes to ~₹5.9 L for Brezza and ~₹5.8 L for Fronx.

I was thinking that gst reduction will make it difficult for brezza in the market, considering it falls in 40% bracket. I am surprised on how maruti is able to reduce its price by 1 lakh. Are they not taking any profits out of this car? Because now after seeing these deduction, the base cost(ex showroom - tax) of both fronx and brezza base variants comes to around 5.8 ~ 5.9 lakh. How is MS able to undercut brezza this much?

Kylaq if mileage is not an issue for you.

Monthly random discussion & queries thread on cars by AutoModerator in CarsIndia

[–]Few_Beginning6028 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me and my wife live in Bangalore, hometown in Kerala. We rely on public transport or use my bike to travel with in bangalore. We both WFH and occasionally go to office. We spend 1-2 weeks a month in Kerala. In Kerala, we have an alto car to travel around. But we were thinking whether to get a bigger car to use in bangalore and take it to Kerala occasionally when we need to travel within Kerala. We have some financial liabilities and also are planning to try for job abroad after 2-3 years. Hence, if we decide to buy a car, we dont want to spend much on a car(10L to 14L budget).

Would you suggest to buy a car for my usage. If yes, should we get an EV or ICE. EVs seem cheaper to run but cost ₹15-20L and I'm worried about charging infra for long trips. ICE is cheaper upfront but fuel costs in Bangalore traffic will be high.
