A relative booked 1.3 GLi AT on 17 Feb he got sms from Toyota that the vehicle will be delivered in April. Even if it comes on the last date of the month then it is total 2.5 month wait at max.

I believe the reason Indus can afford to play with the 1.3 and 1.6 is because City sales are completely shot to hell, which may also mean that we cannot expect the City in 2016 even.

So seems like Indus has more than ample time to introduce a face lift, capture any remnants of deluded customers waiting on the new Civic and pretty much do what ever the hell it feels like in 2016, will Honda ever recover from this ??

What do you mean. How much is wait time on city now?

Rumour is that they are making certain cosmetic changes and maybe introducing an immobilizer in Grande version only hence the delivery times have been pushed.

any certainty on this or these are just the rumours?

Rumours just nothing else. People have been saying this for over a year now.

March

Getting delivery in 2 days.. got called from dealership to take the delivery... I'm delaying just to get number plate

probably insider dealings by the dealerships...they are giving the cars to people who are paying own...also can be a tactic to push the buyer to pay own to get the vehicle early...the face lift is the most obnoxious reason they have given since such facelifts apply to bookings after the official release not for older booking where only the delivery is pending.

That is what the Toyota Rahim Yar Khan dealership is saying at least delaying my friends Altis 1.6 by 3-months.

how much is ON money these days on GLI MT n AT and 1.6 ?

memad (memad) 2016-03-05 03:57:09 +0500 #23

B.u.m.p.

ON money for 1.6 varies, but is around 100-130K if a 0 meter car is available in ready stock.

I was lucky that I got a 0 meter Altis 1.6 A/T in a week as it was readily available at a showroom and I dealt with the car owner directly, which infuriated the dealership, but I avoided paying the ON and got the car.

Can't really say only know that booked late December received early February Grande. No extra payments of any sort.

Yes, at least in the RYK showroom the sales chart bulletin board showed that other models outsold Grande 20/1 in some cases, the day I got delivery a total of 22 cars were to be delivered out which only mine was a Grande.

Gli XLi is the bread and butter 1.6 and 1.8 are few and far between in South Punjab specially.

Toyota Corolla To Get A Lot Of New Options In Pakistan, Starting From May - PakWheels Blog

What do you think? Even if half of the things said in the blog are true its a good thing, but the existing Grande customers like my self will feel bad about it, hope there is a retro fit option.

hungama007 (hungama007) 2016-03-11 01:01:02 +0500 #28

Agree with you completely. Grande owners have been short changed. As far as I know most things could be added on at a later stage but not sure about immobiliser that is added at factory stage and can't be added after. Rest Allah hu alim
