It is raining discounts and offers when it comes to buying cars. Car makers and dealers are showering buyers with heavy discounts and freebies to close the year and prepare for new launches.
The Offers
Hyundai is offering ‘December Delight’ with cash discounts and exchange offers and Honda Cars is celebrating its 70th anniversary by offering huge discounts across its range of cars and other car makers like Ford India and Tata are also luring customers with different schemes and offers. So for those who missed purchasing a car during the festive discounts in October-November, you still have your chance.
The Decision Dilemma
But there are a lot of people who feel the constant dilemma of whether to buy a car in December or January, here is what you should focus on. If you are particular about the resale value of your car in a few years, then buy the car in January. January will give you registration in the new year and it will help stretch the resale value of your car.
If, however, you aren’t bothered much about the resale and dig more on discounts and offers, then buying a car in December is one of the best times as almost all brands are offering year-end discounts and you will be able to definitely make some savings there.
