  1. I am genuinely pleased to hear so many good stories from fellow members about Kohinoor. I thought they were almost dead in terms of presence and I kind of took a slight risk buying from them but really glad to hear all the positive stories. Sent from my KB2001 using Tapatalk
  2. They are decent, they used to be super big but I don't think they are as big anymore. I am on the central side so I went to the Chembur store. I think the 5 year warranty is given only by LG store if I am correct. Though i could be wrong on this. Yup they used to be quite good, not sure right now how they are but keeping my fingers crossed.

  3. Ah really? Well i guess its a good enough price in that case. And i suck at bargaining so I think this would have been the best i would have been able to do. Yes u am in Mumbai, I bought this from Kohinoor and this was like the 6th shop i visited after Chroma, VS, Reliance, LG Brand Store etc. All other folks are playing in the range of 1.3 to 1.4 L. Though one thing to note LG store was giving 5 year warranty instead of the normal 3. I was really disappointed with Vijay Sales this year, usually they are the cheapest bar none offline store. But they were very firm on their 1.35 price after cashback. Sent from my KB2001 using Tapatalk
  4. So I bought the C1 55 finally for a price of 1.20 with cashback, not sure if this is a good price or not since I was aiming for 1.20 without cashback so I can get more on top. But guess i will take it. The discounts on it are not really that great this year. A question though, I was told I will get 10k cashback after 90 days. Does that mean i have to wait 90 days for that cashback to come before I can do that EMI cancellation trick? Will I not get that cashback if I cancel the EMI right away? This is an HDFC card.

  5. I am a little skeptical about the game till I see it, I did not like SR 4 and GAT out of hell was really bad. SR 3 was a masterpiece though so I hope it's more of that kind of fun. Sent from my KB2001 using Tapatalk
  6. Thank you, this does give me better perspective. Sent from my KB2001 using Tapatalk
  7. At the moment I am keeping my monthly investments as it is. Had saved up a few lumpsum amount that I was looking to deploy hence was considering if I should put it in Indian or US markets. At the current moment my allocation stands at 50%-50% to Nifty and S&P. Usually people suggest much lesser international diversification at around 10-20% so I am already at a higer allocation compared to what people suggest and hence not sure if I should put more lumpsum into S&P.

  8. I had one question, why is S&P 500 is lagging quite a lot compared to Nifty 50. I am thinking of holding my investing in Nifty index due to the high values and thinking of instead deploy it in the S&P index and increase my percentage allocation, is that a good idea?

  9. Which is strange because the card can support 4k 120hz Sent from my KB2001 using Tapatalk
  10. Hahah, well i know don't know much about cars to be honest, it's always been a means to get from point A to point B in a luxurious way for me. I am more used to bus/local/auto so not sure if they will let me in considering I am not the target demographic but i will still try out my hand at essay writing for that forum considering xbhp the forum on bikes which I am part of is really helpful.
  11. Thank you so much once again for all your advice. Even i am leaning more towards Honda. Jazz is cheaper but I somehow don't like the shape of Jazz unfortunately and that's why I suggested to go with WRV instead. If I may ask just a few more advice 1) What would you think is a rough ideal price for 2017 Honda WRV VX varient? 2) Any other model that I can consider which might be cheaper? This car is for my dad and he still is not convinced to spend the amount that a WRV would need on a car. Can Baleno & i20 be considered as chepear alternatives? Noted, will check up there as well. Is that the same forum which requires you to write an essay to sign up? Or am i confusing things.
  12. Noted, That's really bad news. ? Like others have suggested will give it one last try and see what's the best price at D&D. (Dussehra & Diwali). Keeping my eyes on this thread to see if anyone else manages anything better this year. Yeah that's most probably what I would end up doing i guess. If I am correct the panel of C1 and G1 are exactly the same. I'm that case won't it be better to save money and get the C1? Don't really see the point in spending more just for slightly better built. Also do you need that extended warranty? In my usual experience atleast from the big brand products either the product fails in less than 6 months due to some issue or if it does not out usually lasts a very very very long time. This is my usual experience with Samsung and LG. Unless OLED tv in particular need more care? Do you have a pc with you? Connect the pc with hdmi port or display port in case your TV has that. Go u up nvidia control panel and change the refresh rate from 60Hz to 120hz. If your TV does not support 120hz i dont think you will even get an option to change the refresh rate.
  13. Just my luck i guess the only year I have the saving to afford it gets even more expensive. Guess if that Dussehra/Diwali day thing does not work out I would probably wait for next year then. I don't think these sell in the second hand market either right? Atleast I could not find any listings.
  14. Noted, thank you. Though to be honest as a super middle class family the only cars we have ever owned have been Maruti 800 & Tata Nano, compared to them I think the Jazz engine will feel like a jet engine to us. Honda being the aspirational brand for most middle class family is another reason i am leaning towards it.
  15. True that, they don't budge on price at all. I have had the best experience with VS in terms of prices usually though RD offers good prices as well is what I have heard. I will wait try again in Dussehra and then straight on a day before Diwali like you mentioned. Have absolutely no rush to buy it, if I don't get a good deal I am happy to continue using my old TV. The price i am staying firm is 1.2 without any emi discount. Not going to spend a rupee more than 1.2. That's a fair price right? Noted, no harm in trying out LG store as well. Though i am guessing they won't bargain right? Or can you bargain at LG stores as well? Usually brand stores in my humble experience have always been more expensive.
  16. I did the first round of market scoping for buying the oled tv, here is what I learned. No offline store has any model of CX or BX available at any size, all of them are pushing for C1. Croma: C1 55: 1.38 with all offers, did not want to bargain at all. Reliance Digital C1 55: 1.5 lol, he said absolutely no chance to reduce from 1.5, I said bye bye then. Vijay Sales: C1 55: Bargained a lot and finally he said 1.3 with all the offers. I said i am not buying anything above 1.2. He said absolutely no chance, even if I come on Dussehra or Diwali he will offer me the same rate. He also said he does not have the margins like last year that he had on CX. Not sure how much i will believe that. If you guys get any update on the prices please do post here.
  17. Bikes yesi could find a lot of direct sellers at decent prices, I don't think this delear craze has reached bikes yet. But cars literally every single car is owned by a dealer, I tried most of the models that I was looking to buy and could not find a single direct seller. Also olx does not have a filter either to remove all delear listings from the page to make this process easy. Maybe there would be individual sellers for more popular cars like WagonR, Swift, Dzire, i20 etc Yup i did, but again it did not have the models I was looking for. I want a premium hatchback or compact suv or compact sedan which is relatively modern. Shortlisted Honda WR V, Honda Amaze, Tata Tigor, Tata Altros, Elite i20. Could not find much there. Also if I may ask between these what would the forum suggest i buy? I am leaning towards the Honda WR V due to the Honda badge, reliability and easy maintainance and good features in the VX variant. What would you guys suggest for a budget of around 7L (only looking for used cars not new)
  18. There are no direct sellers on olx either. For example i was checking out to buy a Honda WR V, every single post is from a dealer. Not a single post on olx from an individual. Its the same case for literally any car you choose. Finding a direct seller is like finding a needle in a haystack.
  19. Is there any site where I could buy a second hand car directly from the seller instead of these middle men like cardekho, cars24, cawalle etc. Its almost impossible to find used cars from direct sellers, every single car is owned by a dealer.
  20. Got it now and Holy sh*t you are right. It comes out to 81k roughly with the icici card. Unfortunately my icici card does not have that high a limit, my HDFC card does but the same discount is not applicable with hdfc ? Also a question, is pre closure penalty not applicable if you close it before the actual tenure? I thought all banks have pre closure penalty
  21. Thank you so much for the detailed reply, this has helped guide me a lot. As for the BX model on flipkart, there is no additional discount applicable if you do no cost emi or pay the full amount. Both ways it's showing the final amount as 91,249. Don't think it's possible to do that emi trick here. And at 90k might as well push and get the C1 for slightly more is what I am leaning into. Unless you rightly said the difference is more than 20k.
  22. So a few questions to guide me better for buying an LG Oled. 1)Is Dussehra or Diwali usually a better time for these TVs? I am in no hurry and want to focus on the best ever possible deal. 2) Can someone help me out with the ideal sale prices for the following including all discounts so that I have a rough idea to bargain? I absolutely Suck at bargaining is why need a little help with rough prices C1 50- C1 48- CX 55- CX 48- 3)Should I consider BX or B1 instead if they are much cheaper? Thoughts on it?
  23. The buds pro new price is 11k now and they are selling for 10k in the sale. Not that great a discount unfortunately. I wish it was priced at around 8k before card discount. Would have been a sweet deal.
  24. Guys, what are your thoughts on this? It seems quite good but then it's almost in tumhe OLED range where LG C1 is pretty close to this. https://dl.flipkart.com/s/ufUE0lNNNN
