Deals may vary across cities
While deals offered by manufacturers are available across the country, there is always some variation in the offers from one city to another and from dealer to another. All offers and schemes mentioned here have been collated in Delhi-NCR zone, and can marginally vary from those offered in other cities.
How to get the best of car buying deals
Deals often come in various forms — cash discounts, freebies, free accessories, extended warranty, extended annual maintenance contract, free services and so on.
If you want to get the best deal, it will be best to stick to a cash discount instead of free accessories, as you might either get accessories you do not want or can get them from elsewhere at cheaper prices.
However, if the manufacturer offers an option to get an extended warranty, grab it. This is because you cannot get such an extended warranty from elsewhere at a cheaper price.
If you are a salaried employee, check if you can get any corporate discounts while buying a car. Car manufacturers offer corporate discounts to employees of select companies. You can enquire with the dealer to get the details.
