Car manufacturers have tied high hopes with the approaching festive season of New Year and Christmas to recover from the grief of plunging car sales. They are trying to ignite a fire of thrill and excitement in the gloomy car market by announcing heavy discounts, schemes, exchange benefits, and vouchers to tempt customers for car purchase.
While others are offering price discounts, Skoda presents free periodic maintenance for 3 years or 50,000 km on the purchase of new Skoda cars. This offer is valid until the date when the year 2008 moves to 2009. Yes, you can avail this offer till 31st December. All Skoda cars including the Skoda Octavia, Skoda Superb, Skoda Laura and Skoda Fabia fall under this year-end scheme. Similar offer is also declared by Skoda’s parent company, Volkswagen. You can buy the Volkswagen Jetta with a free maintenance of 3 years or 45,000 km whichever is earlier.
Skoda promises zero worries with the purchase of Skoda cars making your ride more pleasurable. Skoda calls it the ‘zero worries scheme’ and encourages the car buyers to seriously consider buying their cars.
Is Skoda not offering any kind of cash discount on its cars as other car manufacturers like Maruti, Hyundai, and Mitsubishi are doing?
You are right that Maruti and Hyundai have offered cash discounts as New Year offers but Skoda is only extending the time period for car maintenance. It is also heard that car manufacturers have reduced the car prices as a result of reduction in excise duty. So, even Skoda should have?
free is never free with skoda.I bought a superb in madras. Every free service costs 8000 for engine oil etc. only putting in the car is free.Skoda has horrible quality control on their service centers. I am suffering from faulty doors and after repairing the door a few times, the next day of 1 yr warranty expiring, they are asking me to replace the lock at my price! to further annoy me, on a new car they will give three years. When hyundai did this 5 yrs back,they also extended it to all cars sold before.Will never buy or recommend a skoda again!
