So after all emails and calls to so many peoples
Finally i got the reply and calls from Customer care officials
Got call from my local Dealer (G3) sales manager he asked me why you are buying car from Mumbai (don't know how he come to know). He said sir please come to showroom i will avail you good deal (I know he will just give me couple of free bies of accessories which are use less like Floor Matt, Body Cover)
But one good thing he said that buying any car from Mumbai you have to pay VAT of 12.5 % where as in Gujarat its 15 %. Thats why the 2.5 % price is differ/lower.
But when you purchase a vehicle from Maharashtra and registered in Gujarat during registration you have to pay the extra 2.5 % VAT which was not paid in Maharashtra. I confirmed same with my RTO agent also.
So conclusion is no price change from Mumbai & Surat.
Now i just found a December discount ad from Facebook in which its stated that Scorpio with 50000 /- off.
Now can any one tell me which is good time to buy a Scorpio During Decemeber or now During Monsoon (Ashaad) as during both this preiods every auto company offer good scheme.
I am afraid of two things due to dollar rise may be price can be increased.
Secondly 3% price cut is coming in the couple of months but that time will be festival season and no chance of discount during that time![[frustration]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Frustration.gif "Frustration [frustration]")

you keep on waiting , you would never get a good deal.
i got an SLE with ex showroom price of 8,88,626 with 25k discount last year.
now with govt wanting to kill the SUV or diesel craze , they might introduce new taxes going forward.
so if you can negotiate and try to extract a deal from the dealer.

This makes sense.
You may end up paying more if you buy from a different state and register in another. Sales tax, you can get set off and pay the difference only.
There are taxes like Local Body Tax in Mumbai and Local Cess in Navi Mumbai. If you buy a car from Navi Mumbai, you pay the local cess (which was Rs 500o in 2009) and 12.5% VAT. When you register in Gujarat you pay extra 2.5% of VAT. But the local cess is extra and you wont get it back. I bought my car from Thane dealer and registered in Navi Mumbai and I paid the local cess extra during registration. This was in 2009, there may be changes in the rules, but I think this is the way it works - you pay the taxes and rates of the place where you register, not where you buy from.
Sankar, I used to see lot of cars bought from Pondichery in Kerala (20-25 years ago). People were saying 'tax savings', I was too young to understand it.
Yes. Once you decided on a specific make, go for it without waiting. Of course negotiate hard with the dealer.

How much money is exactly 3% ? That you think you will save ?
The best time to buy anything is when you need it . If you think you don't need a car desperately then wait . But if you need it anyhow " today is the best time "
Yes what Raja is saying is absolutely correct, buy when it is needed and if it is now then buy it and negotiate. These days forecasting is not advisable as Govt can impose any xyz taxes in near future to dampen the industrial growth along with deprecating Rupee.
I postponed my car delivery for 3-4 months to pre close the home loan. The home loan was closed but the car price increased by 45K but no regret. I decided as per the need of moment.
I suggest do not trouble yourself, just buy from your local dealer and let him do all the formalities and you can enjoy a very nice buying experience even if it is few thousands expensive.
