How to Maximise Your Festive Deal
- Stack the Right Buckets: Ask for a clear breakup of cash discount, exchange bonus, corporate/loyalty, and scrappage. Some can stack; others may be either-or.
- Carry Documents: For corporate or institutional benefits, take valid ID and eligibility proofs to avoid last-minute reductions.
- Check VIN and Model Year: For large pre-facelift benefits, verify production month/year and ensure any feature deletions are disclosed.
- Get It in Writing: Insist on a written offer sheet with validity dates, accessory kit details, and final on-road price before paying a booking amount.
- Consider Total Cost of Ownership: Factor service packages, extended warranty, and insurance quotes. Sometimes a slightly smaller discount with better long-term coverage is the smarter buy.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Do all offers apply to every variant and color?
No. Many benefits are variant-specific or tied to dealer inventory. Popular colors and high-demand trims may carry lower benefits.
Q. Can I combine corporate discount with exchange bonus and scrappage?
Often yes, but stacking rules vary by brand and dealer. Request a written stacking matrix and final net impact on on-road price.
Q. Are CNG models included in festive benefits?
Yes, several CNG models especially from Maruti Suzuki carry structured benefits. Availability can still be constrained in some cities.
Q. What is a scrappage bonus and how do I claim it?
It is an incentive for scrapping an old vehicle through approved channels. You will need valid ownership documents and scrappage certificates. Check dealer-supported scrappage partners for a smooth process.
Q. Are pre-facelift stocks a good buy?
If you value savings over the latest design tweaks, pre-facelift models (e.g., Renault Kiger/Triber) can offer significantly higher total benefits. Ensure you are comfortable with the feature set and model year.
Q. Will these offers extend after Diwali?
Festive schemes are time-bound and subject to stock. Some OEMs roll over limited benefits till year-end clearance, but the headline numbers may change.
