Re: New Honda Jazz 2011 Launched at Killer Price

Krish, did they mention anything about Pre delivery inspection ? Once we register in our name its very difficult to get it replaced if any manufacturing defects are there.
Nothing yet! Will check and let you know. Thanks for the information.

Re: New Honda Jazz 2011 Launched at Killer Price

I got a call from my dealer stating my vehicle started from Noida (select UT). This Thursday I am giving the full amount with the help of SBI loan. If everything goes well he assured the delivery before 25th of this month. But no idea about freebies/offers. As this car is in demand they are not interested in giving anything for free.

Uh-oh, I haven't received any call today/yesterday .[confused] . You got call from dealer or from Honda directly? We had a missed call from Mumbai or so in the land-line. When we tried calling back, it says wrong number.Hope my X is coming.Was busy for last 2days, so was unable to reply to you guys. We went to RTO today to inquire regarding number booking and they said it can be done only after car reaches the dealer. An idea regarding this ? Initially thought to go to Showroom after this , but later decided to go tomorrow. Will ask for freebies and all stuffs tomorrow .Have you talked to the GM directly?

Harin, the dealer themselves wont be mentioning about PDI( in my experience) . If we have to carry out PDI, we have to inform them before registration. Once registration is carried out, we cant do anything. So, you cant complain anything after registering. The company will reply saying we should have done inspection before delivery.

Even I rcvd call from my delear saying that my car(XMT UT) dispatched yesterday from Noida. He said, transit will 7-8 days and +1 day for registration. So I should be getting it in next week.
Extended warranty here in Blr costing me 9600K. Thinking should I opt it now or later.
You too received call?! Oh, dammit![anger] My SA told me that Extended warranty will cost you more, if you are doing it later. Dont remember this correctly. Will check this with my dealer and tell you tomorrow.

Re: New Honda Jazz 2011 Launched at Killer Price

Guys, trouble at last. Called up my SA( Ajith ) just now , since i havent received call and asked him about when the payment should be made. He says payment should be done before its dispatched from Noida. Else it wont get dispatched. Dad says SA didnt tell him to pay before today. When we asked about whether its in current shipment, he says it will 'probably' be coming. We decided to go to showroom tomorrow and know the situation. BTW, how can we know if its dispatched ? Dad says we can pay soon .SA says pay this week and ours will come for sure. If its not dispatxhed, we dont wanna pay now. If we pay now , if we didnt get the car in this consignment, we wont be able to opt another car and have to wait until it arrives, because full payment has been done. Or is this some trick to make sure that we dont scoot when the car arrives ? How can i know the truth ? Really in terrible confusion. @Harin , @Krishleo - please help. @Krishleo - Have you done the payment ? @Harin - Who called you today ?Ajith or some others from Peninsular ?

Why don't you take in writing from the dealer that the guy will arrive at a particular date .also you can email Honda with you details of booking and ask them about your car.

Re: New Honda Jazz 2011 Launched at Killer Price

Hi Akhilji : First my Loan executive called me and told the loan is going to be approved and I need to go there for loan disbursement. After one hour only Ajith called me and told my vehicle has been started from Noida. so some thing fishy here. Initially he told we need to pay in full before the consignment starts from Noida. But now once he came to know that loan is approved, then he is sure that he is going to get the full DD from bank (since I paid my part to the bank instead of dealer ), he changed the words.

Also not sure, if this consignment consists only Select, if you could check which the persons who booked X before/after you then we can confirm. Better to open a call with Honda one2one and Cochin head office peninsular representative will call you back. Address this issue and tell them if you get in this consignment then only you can pay in full without any delay.

Re: New Honda Jazz 2011 Launched at Killer Price

@Sujith : is the parking sensors, is it with camera ? what about the security burglar alarms ? Extended warranty how much ? also how much peninsular charged you for the ones which you taken from the show room ? Also did they call you for pre delivery inspection before registration ? or do we need to follow up for the same before registration ?

Then I have seen some Jazz selects new version in bangalore, now I hope the car production started in full swing and waiting periods is coming down.
the parking sensor is without camer. its soemwher 5k. everything tht honda offers as extra got 4k plus charges. extended warranty 4k, under body plating 5 k..etc..
They will deliver the car onl after doing temporary reg,which takes 1 day time frame on weekends. you may go n do pre-delivery inscpection.

IMPORTANT: if you guys feel worried of getting faulty car, just take a cam recorder n record the car's key changing ceremoney n run your camera everywhere. that will be proof incase any damage gets noticed only after delivery. Once car leaves showroom,you are at mercy of the "warranty" . With the cam recording, you got legal proof. But its HONDA dude !, just relax n drive it with pleasure.

Akhil: Im in same confusion. Is it a trick played by them to not lose customers. I already made 3L payment in the month of Jan, not sure if that made them to allot it against my name (if its really in transit for me).

But how do you say that if we dont get the car in this consignment after the full payment, we wont be able to opt another car. Cant we simply cancel the booking if it doesnt arrive and not charge us anything for cancelling cos of their false commitment?

So, its Ajith who called you. So, something really fishy now.But, when he called me, he spoke as though like he didnt know about today's dispatch. First, i asked whether X has been shipped?. He said yes, and that it will come on the date he already mentioned. I told him that i didnt got any call today and i have a doubt whethether its dispatched . He said yes and not to worry. Then i said about going to showroom and he said he will be there only upto noon amd asked me " why coming? Discuss about accesories ?" i said yes and asked about GM. He said he may be busy tomorrow afternoon. But the lady at the desk shall hepl us with accesory list and so on.He said he will call once the consignment arrives. And atlast i asked " Payment should be done only after arrival right ? " suddenly he said NO and that it should be done before dispatched.else it wont come from noida. He said he mentioned a last date to my Dad before dispatch. I said dont know about this and told him that today is the dispatch date. Asked "So, mine not coming???" he said he will check and tell us tomorrow.

Part 2 -Dad on hearing this calls Ajith soon.
dad asked about payment and said that we were not informed. Ajith said he remember saying so. Dad said 'You(ajith) only asked if its loan/cash ? ' Ajith again says payment should be done before dispatching. Dad says cash is ready and that we can pay it tomorrow itself, but since dispatched today, whats the point of paying tomorrow? Ajith says no such problems and that our car will come. Dad finally concludes saying will come to showroom tomorrow and discuss.

Sorry if its been quite long. Harin, in this convesation , Ajith acted/behaved as though like he dont know when consignment will be dispatched. At the same time, he calls you today saying yours have been dispatched. Will finalise this tomorrow itself.

in same confusion. Is it a trick played by them to not lose customers. I already made 3L payment in the month of Jan, not sure if that made them to allot it against my name (if its really in transit for me).But how do you say that if we dont get the car in this consignment after the full payment, we wont be able to opt another car. Cant we simply cancel the booking if it doesnt arrive and not charge us anything for cancelling cos of their false commitment?
So, you made some payment eh ?My doubt is this : Whya re they making us pay after before dispatching. If they do so, there will not be any car in the showroom's godown left unsold na ? Only paid cars will be coming. I think its not like that. I think once a booking is made, dealer has to buy the car from Honda. Selling from dealer is solely the responsibility of dealer right ? If it was like this before, there wouldnt have been stock clearance sales right ? Thats why i think they are just saying to make sure we dont scoot when the car arrives. The higher official (guy who called after my complaints to 9
one2one ) said that allotment list will come only after billing is done. Only then, dealers can commit on which all colors are coming. So, i think this os just a trick.

If we make full payment , then too , we can cancel an get entire money back ? I font know about this.

Re: New Honda Jazz 2011 Launched at Killer Price

Akhil: Following our discussion here, I contacted the GM of the dealership about the allotment. She confirmed back with the chasis number of my car which is in transit. Now Im relieved. Believe you can also do the same.

I agree with you, selling the car is dealer's responsbility.

Re: New Honda Jazz 2011 Launched at Killer Price

Guys, went to showroom and sorted out all problems.
@Harin : Initially, Ajith was busy, so we were assisted by the lady at the desk. She checked the database and said ours is supposed to be billed today and consignment will get dispatched either today/ tomorrow. They will receive confirmation only the next day or so. So, told us to call us as soon as they get the confirmation. I asked many a time, "Sure that X it will come? " She was sure and even told us to make payment only after getting confirmation. So, that made us believe. i inquired about yours( just to the lady) and she checked and said yours were dispatched along with 2/3 other selects on 9th and they got confirmation by yesterday and hence called you yesterday. She said there is nothing like payment should be done before dispatching. Its just to make sure that customers don't scoot . She said transit time maybe anywhere between 8-10days.

@Krishleo: Since yours have received call on Sunday, yours might have been dispatched earlier and you may get soon. Btw, did dealer tell you anything about front-grille and spoiler?

Discussed accessories at dealer and was shocked with the prices.I will attach the price list. Only worry is we wont get the spoiler and grille.[anger] My dealer told they haven't received spoiler and grille kit for customers who got car back in November. So, they aren't including its prices as of now. Asked us to book it for 10K now , because its 20K separately! SA said they cant give freebies as such but can give discounts. So, we gave them a list and he will call us after talking with GM. Planned to do 3M's paint protection(1yr warranty) and under-body coating(5yr warranty) and reverse sensors and we will opt for Bumper-to-Bumper(B2B) insurance which costs an additional 5K. I would personally recommend both @Harin @Krishleo to opt B2B, because it includes plastic parts too. Dad was shocked to see the prices of Fogs -30K !!! So, B2B makes sense. Have to say, moving from Maruti to Honda, parts prices are really on higher side. initially, thought to add corner and body protectors(beading) but both of them costs another 17K. Dammit !Dad said our Alto's door beading is around 2K(not painted though) . Discussed about sun-films too. Dealer offers Garware films and they seem to be of reasonable cost. Front shield cost 4200 and side and rear can be done at 3500(although it aint the premium ones). He even showed us a new red city being done with the films. Went to workshop are and its larger than i expected .

First, congrats! and good to hear that you got things going in your way.

Yes, he said that front-grille and spoiler are coming along with the car. I thought of taking those later since the price hike over shoot my budget. It is costing me 11K for both here in Blr. Since you say that it'll cost more when I buy it later then I have to think about it.

Not sure the insurance what they offered me includes B2B, anyway lemme check on that. Quote from Royal Sundram which includes all possible, costs only 15K which is 4-5K less than what Honda offers. What do you feel about this?

About extended warranty, is it better to opt for it? What's your take on that? Im confused on this too. All cos of the hike.[frustration]

If you're getting spoiler and grille, so should i. Please do check about this again. If so, i should call my SA and say so. God knows what they are doing. Cant believe these dealers. They make even take and give them to old customers who didnt get them. Insurance at 15K seems reasonable. In invoice, its written 18K for us. Regarding extended warranty, forgot about that. Will check on to this too. When i went to book, SA said if we extend at the end of 2years, it will be more costlier than 6.2K. Instead of asking him again, planning to call One2One and ask about this.

Will check on the spoiler&Grille again. 15K Insurance is from RoyalSundaram but from Honda it is 19K here.

As you said better I'll call One2One and check on all these things.

Re: New Honda Jazz 2011 Launched at Killer Price

Akhil : Nice to hear that your issues got sorted out so we all three will get in the same lot [clap] , Thanks for the detailed accessories list. Anything did he talk about PDI / registration ? when it will be approximately ?

Seat cover, surely I will go for it, but 10K is too costly even though its art leather, what you guys think ? from TAI only I came to know that we will get the fabric one for 5-6K, hope I will do from outside.

As per Jazzy, Garware is good and I hope we can take that sun film from the dealer as the price quoted is almost same as outside, any suggestions ?

Insurance need to check out, what Ajith given in invoice is 18K and its not B2B, also which insurance is best to get claims easily, can we do it with other insurance providers other than Honda ?

Teflon coating and under body coating is a must and I will do it from the dealer itself as its reasonable and surely being a new car, we will take care it very seriously for the first one year atleast ;-) also the same with body cover.

Finally parking sensors, please advise, its only sensor right ? does it show the distance in a meter ? can we put camera and screen later ?

Did I miss anything important ?

Re: New Honda Jazz 2011 Launched at Killer Price

@Harin - dont go for those seat covers. They are just art leather and they dont cost 10K. Better to do seat covers outside. You know, accesory shop at power house road. They said we could get even leather for 18K. But, that may not be a good one though. You can easily find art leather seatcovers for 5-6K outside.sunfilms are of reasonable cost. It even looks good. You just go to showroom and tell them to show you a car which is done with the film. They showed me 2 city and 1 UT brio. Teflon and underbody are a must. Regarding body cover, we wont need one as we use the car daily. If you're buying one, look for a Polco brand. Heard that its the best cover. Parking sensors are just sensors which beeps. They might show the dist to the obstacle in feets. Dunno if its upgradable to visual one later. If you can afford 12K, i recommend the one with visual.

Regarding insurance, i dunno much. Will do a slight research on this and post my opinion. Better to ask honda owners and they may tell if Honda assure is good enough. B2B is 23K and i think its worth paying for us because we drive through city daily. Cant trust bikes. A single hit may be enough to shell out too much money. Since you drive very often, please check if shelling out extra 5K every year is worth for you. We are now planning to install scuff plates(without illumination) from outside. Since they dont have illumination , they dont need any wire cutting and just sticking.

@Krishleo: pls do us a favor. Ask for accesory price at your dealer and lets see if they both match.
