Hope to see the dealers actually passing on the benefit to the customer by providing discounts like before. Otherwise there won't be much difference.

the discounts may shrink back. Also, if demand becomes strong, the dealers may force you to pay inflated amounts for insurance and for various services like transportation and what not. --Prof M/ Mahesh

The tentative prices are very close; maybe Indian dealers are astute in this vocation. Finally, I understood that after the GST cut, all vehicle prices will be down 8-11 % from the present prices. Thank you, V3cars
