Dear bro, the pricing strategy here is not to clear the old stock.....its simply intelligent by Honda managers....BECOZ.....the with holding tax on the 1.3 car is 40,000 and that of 1.5 car is 100,000 so the actual cost breakdown for payment at the time of booking at show room would be as follows(for rawalpindi):-
Model (Ex-factory Cost + Transportation Cost + With Holding Tax = Actual Booking Cost)
Base City 1.3 (1,508,000 + 12,000 + 40,000 = 1,560,000 )
Base 1.3(with Nav)(1,558,000 + 12,000 + 40,000 = 1,610,500 )
Aspire 1.3 (1,638,000 + 12,000 + 40,000 = 1,690,000 )
Aspire 1.5 (1,658,000 + 12,000 + 100,000 = 1,770,000 )
So the pricing difference of 1.3 and 1.5 aspire has been kept keeping in mind the with holding tax. Brilliant Honda....its a bye bye for XLI and GLI now......which are with a new outer shape but they are feature less and so much expensive as compared to Honda
