If you thought of waiting till July 1st, the day when the GST kicks in, to buy a new premium car was a good idea, think again. The three German manufactureres, BMW, Audi and Mercedes-Benz have come out with some good offers, including cash discounts on their locally assembled models.
Mercedes-Benz is offering 2-9 per cent discount on its locally assembled cars. So its entry-level sedan, CLA, saw a price drop of around Rs 1.2 lakh, whereas the Maybach S500 got cheaper by close to Rs 7 lakh. BMW is offering reduced rate of interest of 7.9 per cent for all its cars. There’s also assured buyback guarantee for four years, complimentary service and maintenance package for three years and also one year complimentary insurance. Audi too, is out with attractive finance schemes. This German car maker is also offering service package covering full maintenance, wear and tear. However, these offers are valid only till June 2017.
It makes sense to visit the nearest showrooms of these companies soon because it is highly unlikely to see good offers on service and maintenance after July 1st.
