sumanth Posted January 21, 2022 Report Share Posted January 21, 2022 Booking amount for Kushaq is 25k. Octavia, Superb is 50k. I don’t know why the waiting period for Kushaq as I had seen more than 25 Kushaq’s in stockyard and sales rep told me apart for one variant (something with 6 airbag) all others are immediately available.

Not sure why your local dealer is asking for this much Supply crunch most probably. They don't want people backing out. 12 minutes ago, sumanth said: Booking amount for Kushaq is 25k.

I don't know. I was enquiring for top of the line petrol version and the color combination I wanted was apparently not available. 43 minutes ago, SaiKO said: I paid 25k booking amount back in 2020 when I booked my Seltos HTX petrol. Got the car within 1 and half month in Bangalore. 50k booking amount and 5 months waiting period sounds crazy. That too in a place like Delhi, it suppose to be cheaper. Lot has changed since 2020. 50k is standard across cars in the 20-20L segment. Maybe they aren't expecting Slavia and Hector Plus to just roll off the line.

Just tell the dealership the online website quotes booking is 35k then why are you asking for more, tell him you will report it to Skoda. No one can force you to pay extra booking amount. Zac Hollis (India Head for Skoda) is super active and prompt on twitter. Just check 1-2 dealers Kushaq should be easily available with a waiting of 1-2 months, some showrooms have car in stock for next day delivery. Slavia has a long wait time. Hector/Creta/Seltos all are 8-10 months and they will talk to you as if they are doing you a favor by attending to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ram Dante Posted January 21, 2022 Report Share Posted January 21, 2022 Kushaq top variant is on demand, and only that I think it has a 2-3 months waiting period. The mid/ambition variant should be available at good discounts for the 2021 stock, (75-1L) discount. I gave in and got the 1.5 Turbo Style in December, it was the last available 2021 style variant in stock with the dealer, then. It's a hoot to drive! Since you've shortlisted the Kushaq@KunjanPSD, I would totally recommend getting the 1.5! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The back seats are cramped because they had to stuff in that 3rd row of seats. The less said about that 3rd row, the better. It's useless, unless you're making toddlers sit there. Driving wise, the diesel felt exactly like the Creta diesel but a bit worse ig? IMO Tucson or Creta are better choices from the Hyundai lineup.

harsh1387 Posted January 21, 2022 Report Share Posted January 21, 2022 Except for absolutely fail models every other is on a waiting list due to chip shortage. Expect anywhere from 4-8 months of waiting for popular ones. When we got our Sonet in September it was on a 5 month minimum waiting and we got it in 2 months due to lot of haggling and approach. It's better to book with couple of dealers so whoever gets first may help in reduced waiting period. The situation with chip shortage is unlikely to be solved by this year atleast.

I went with a family member to check out cars today - both Kushaq and Taigun readily available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its priced better than the XL6 and has more features/safety. Also, the 6th row is actually usable in the Carens. Don't know about the drive though, it has a diesel and petrol option so you can test drive both and see. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

i_rock098 Posted March 21, 2022 Report Share Posted March 21, 2022 (edited) Ok so this is gonna sound ultra dumb but I just wanted to check up with you guys. There is this other forum called Team-BHP for automotive stuff. I made a post there which had a spelling mistake in it and I received an infraction and got banned for 3 months. Is that normal to get banned for spelling mistake?, that feels really grammar Nazi level insane sh*t. PS: Not sure if we are allowed to mention other forums Edited March 21, 2022 by i_rock098 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am a member there and have received a warning for saying congratulations to one guy because apparently one word posts are frowned upon.

I got my membership long time ago, but as i remember, i had to write some essay about why i like some car. At first i thought it was a joke, then i realised they were pretty serious about it. I like their travelogues forum. And they are super friendly and give excellent tips about roads/ eateries etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your posts have to be factual or logical. My english is not that great so I am sure that I make frequent grammatical errors myself and I have never got any infraction points for them as I try to carry forward the discussion. i recently even managed to troll a member there. also Slang, more than two emojis in a post, .... and one liners are not allowed. You must have accidentally used a slang word or something. Edited March 22, 2022 by Bhpian Bali Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
