but in return u got the Cutus at current list price, in other words not only u saved the current premium on cultus but also accounted for any future price hike.
seems like a fair deal to me, 250/300 paid in settlement to get a new car there n then!
otherwise, say if u wud have sold alto in 20 then the current market premium would have been paid to get the car else wait for booking to open or financing to arrange the car.
in inflationary market, the earlier u make decesion, better it is
