You have to ask them for discount and they will surely give you some discount . Also try to make order on friday or last day of month since this is the closing day for them so they will surely give you discount and how much discount depends on you how you can convience them!!! One of my friend was able to get 4000 discount

My final configuration is

Don't go by the ad you have to ask them for the maximum discount they can give and they will give you discount. Yes I gave them 57,000 cheque.

I ask them if there is any possiblity of any extra discount while ordering and he gave me without any argument. Believe me some of the smart customers are able to get a discount of 4000 and above also.

[deepakchan]

And Ganesh they accepted the quote without Basic System Install?

This is the universal car DC inverter that I was talking about *snipurl.com/1mbr3

But it is not 1990 as mentioned in that site. In chennai citi center it is available for 1500.

One more thing... i wasted Rs.1500 for McAfee(R) Security Center...

I thought it has to be free and opted but just yesterday i saw it that wen i deselect it, i get reduction of 1.5K Rs.

[magnet]

u have to pay via cheque and dd????cash not allowed or what??

also didnt they asked for pan number???
it crossed 50k!!!!

 

[Ganeshkumar]

I payed by DD....
Yes cash not allowed!!

No PAN No. r not necessary...
If u dont want to pay VAT.. Then u should give a letter stating that it is not for resale!

 

[dragonlord]

guys, anybody ordered the Color Kit, the Carbon fibre color kit sounds like fun, (will it help strip off the sad silver looks ?)

 

[magnet]

ganesh u gave 2dds??

becoz any dd abt 50k requires pan..or else u already have that attach to your account than your transaction will surely be pass on by the bank.....

hope u got it wht i m trying to say

 

[Ganeshkumar]

A little!

My father took DD directly transfering frm his bank a/c.!
