Prices of cars may go up at any time
Many car manufacturers are generously offering good discounts and freebies to encourage people to buy their cars. They also reduced price of small cars after excise duty cut in union budget. But it is not sure how long it will be continued as the rise in the price of steels and other raw materials is forcing car manufacturers to withdraw offers and increase the price of cars including luxury cars and small cars. The generosity and enthuse of car manufacturers would not last for a long time and it would always be a short lived. They can now withdraw all offers and increase the car’s price at any time depending on marketing conditions. People, who have kept their plans of buying new cars on hold in anticipation of further reduction in their prices, could loose more money if they wait for another few months. It’s right time to start buying their favorite car. Wait and watch may prove too costly as prices could be increased at any moment.

Women’s day with Santro
Car manufacturers are becoming increasingly clever at sales strategies to boost sales. It’s now a popular business strategy of many car manufacturers to offer special discounts during festivals and other special occasions to attract people to buy their cars.
Hyundai Motor India Ltd. is trying to make the International Women’s Day on March 8th more special for women. It’s offering a discount of Rs.14, 000 on the Santro Xing automatic transmission model to commemorate this special event. This special offer, which has started from March 1st itself, will surely tempt many women into driving home a Santro. Labels: Car sales, discounts, Hyundai, sales strategy, Santro Xing

Car makers liked this December
Looks like the December discount scheme has worked for Maruti and Hyundai. December is apparently a time of the year when car sales slump due to the year model factor. A car bought in December this year would have lesser resale value as compared to a January model in the coming year. However, for the same reason, December is also a time of the year when car makers offer heavy discounts on most of their models. The gimmick has worked well for Maruti and Hyundai. Indians and discounts can’t be separated from each other. Maruti reported a 10 per cent increase in sales. Popular models such as Swift, WagonR, Zen Estilo and Alto have reported a northward trend while the 800 hasn’t fared so well. The company has sold roughly 6000 units more than it did during the same period in 2006. Similarly, Hyundai has managed to sell 4000 more than the year 2006 figure of 11,000. Much like Maruti, Hyundai kept appearing in the news frequently in 2007 with launches of the Sonata Embera Diesel, Getz Prime, Santro CNG, Sonata Embera AT and the much hyped i10. This had left consumers extremely interested. No doubt the companies devised the discount scheme to tide over slow sales and low interest rates but they finally got the nerve of the Indian consumer. Be it soaps, shampoos, electronics or even cars, discounts do sell! Labels: Car sales, discounts, Hyundai, Maruti

Heavy car discounts to boost sales
If you have been planning to buy a car, this is just the right time to do it. It is because most carmakers and dealers are doling out huge discounts or freebies on cars to generate more sales. So you’d better make hay while the sun shines. Huge discounts are being offered on car prices due to an increase in the car loan interest rate. However, considering the fact that in India about 80% cars are still sold by means of a car loan, carmakers fear a plunge in sales in the coming days. So, they are offering discounts or freebies on cars to lure customers back to their showrooms. The Hyundai Accent can be yours now for Rs. 70,000 less than its normal price. Besides low sales, Hyundai is offering this discount to make way for the Hyundai Verna, its new model. Also, the Hyundai Santro can be bought at a lower interest rate of 8.99%. Also on offer with it are freebies like an MP3 player, 3rd year warranty and exchange bonus. Another car that is available with an attractive scheme is the Honda City ZX, the top-ranked mid-sized car. It can be yours now with a 100% finance scheme available for 84 months. An extended period to pay off the loan means lesser EMIs, which will suit the pocket of most customers. You can buy the Tata Indigo LX DiCOR at a lower interest rate of 9.99% for a period of three years. General Motors is also offering customers an option of lower interest rates of around 10% or free services or accessories worth Rs 20,000 on Chevrolet Aveo. All other GM cars are also on offer at an interest rate of 10% only. Small cars from Maruti Udyog will also cost cheaper now as the company has increased rebate on them from Rs. 5,000 to Rs. 15,000 to reduce the cost of ownership. So, if you have been planning to buy any of these cars, there can not be a better time than now to bring it home. It will not just be lighter on your pocket but you can avail of freebies and other attractive schemes as well. Labels: Buy Car, car loan, Chevrolet, discounts, Hyundai, Maruti, Tata
