Mouthwatering discounts on last year's cars

While buyers flocked to the showrooms right as 2014 ended, owing to the government's non-extension of the excise duty sops, dealers are still not rid of last year's stocks and have some of these models on offer with handsome discounts and benefits. But bear in mind that these discounts are not on offer from the manufacturers; only a few dealers have stocks and not all of them are offering benefits. Also, since the number of units are limited, you may be hard-pressed to find the variant or paint shade of your choice.

Therefore, a lot depends on whether you are able to find such a dealer, and if you negotiate well enough. Some of the cars on this list are also being offered with free insurance, but that amount is obviously variable from car to car, and variant to variant.

Skoda
A couple of dealers have stocks of the Rapid sedan from last year and are offering discounts of up to Rs 70,000. But only the diesel Ambition variant in either white or silver paint shade is in stock.

Ford
Dealers are offering discounts on the Figo, Classic and the petrol Fiesta. While the Figo is available with discounts of up to Rs 35,000, the Classic and the petrol Fiesta are on offer with discounts ranging from Rs 25,000 to Rs 60,000.

Fiat
We came across dealers who are offering benefits of up to Rs 50,000 on the Linea Classic, and up to Rs 40,000 on the Linea T-Jet. That’s not all; some dealers are even offering discounts of up to Rs 1 lakh on the Punto, while the Punto Evo is available with a discount of Rs 25,000.

Mahindra
Mahindra dealers who have leftover stock from 2014, are offering benefits ranging from Rs 20,000 to Rs 40,000 on both the Scorpio and the Quanto. The Xylo is also being offered with discounts of up to Rs 45,000, while the Verito and Verito Vibe are both being sold with benefits of up to Rs 30,000.

Hyundai
Some Hyundai dealers are offering discounts ranging from Rs 15,000 to Rs 35,000 on the Eon, but the colour options are pretty limited. Benefits of up to Rs 40,000 are also being offered on the i10 and the Verna.

Volkswagen
The diesel Cross Polo is being offered by VW dealers with benefits of up to Rs 35,000, while some variants of the Polo and the Vento are also on offer with benefits of up to Rs 25,000.

Maruti
Other than the Ciaz, almost every other model is being offered with some benefits by a number of dealers. Although not too much, discounts are ranging from Rs 10,000 to Rs 50,000. The Ritz is the one which is being offered with most benefits from most dealers.

Nissan
You can avail discounts ranging from Rs 20,000 to Rs 40,000 on both the Sunny and Micra. Some of you might even be able to get benefits up to Rs 35,000 on the Terrano. Budget brand Datsun's Go hatchback is also on offer with discounts of up to Rs 25,000.

Renault
Apart from the Duster, most of the Renault models are being offered with discounts in the range of Rs 15,000 to Rs 45,000. Some dealers are also offering a hefty discount on the Pulse.

Chevrolet
Some dealers are offering handsome discounts on Chevy models. Be it the Spark, Beat, Sail or the Cruze, discounts range from Rs 25,000 to Rs 60,000.

2018 Lamborghini Urus India review, test drive

             On first introduction, it’s a recipe for intimidation. It’s claimed to be the fastest SUV in the world (0-100kph in 3.6sec and a top speed of 305kph puts it nearly in supercar territory), and it’s made by Lamborghini – creator of some of the most savage vehicles on the market. Things – as with any Lamborghini, for that matter – would be a lot less daunting if we were driving on a smooth European country road, a wide motorway, or even a race track. But today we’re driving the Urus on a narrow  ghat  road, as well as through some heavy Pune traffic. Perhaps the intention was to demonstrate that this is the first Lamborghini ever to go on sale in India that truly works in our conditions – but still, I doubt they accounted for rush hour. It’s requisitely mad to look at, employing as many ‘sporty’ design tropes to an SUV body style as possible – the only thing missing is a massive wing on the back; and somehow, it works. It’s ...

Skoda Vision RS concept previews new hatchback

Skoda has set the stage for its forthcoming Volkswagen Golf and Ford Focus rival with the Vision RS, a concept car that features a performance plug-in hybrid (PHEV) powertrain. Under the sporty details and concept flourishes, the Vision RS bears a close resemblance to the Rapid hatchback that will be introduced next year. The fact that it has been previewed in vRS form, complete with 245hp PHEV powertrain, shows how much further upmarket the new Rapid will go compared with the current value-led model. Skoda product marketing chief Björn Kroll said: “The current Rapid is too low-market. For this one, we have tried to balance it out.” Skoda will drop the slow-selling liftback version and concentrate on the Spaceback hatch for the new Rapid. At 4,356mm, the concept is just over 50mm longer than the current Rapid, and it has a 440-litre boot that's up by 25 litres. The concept retains some of the current Rapid’s des...

What to avoid during a car service

                   When it comes to getting their cars serviced at authorised outlets, owners usually go the whole hog. They want their cars coming out of service centres looking brand new, and are willing to pay for it. But do service centres take undue advantage of this? Yes, they do. Servicing may involve changing certain parts and oils after a set interval, but service centres will almost always try to plug in a few extras using technical jargon that a layman may not really understand. Certain processes are completely unnecessary, and customers end up paying extra as they are not aware of what's important and what's not. Also, most of the times, the service associate will throw you a hard sales pitch, and it's not always done with your best interests in mind. So what exactly are the things you don’t really need and should avoid?  Engine flushing Flushing an engine simply means cleaning the impure oil and gunk that ...
