During sales promotions, showrooms may advertise large discounts but often include hidden charges like registration fees, handling fees, and costs for additional accessories.
To avoid these hidden costs, always ask for a detailed bill that outlines all charges clearly.
Sale of Old Models
Dealers might offer discounts on older models or cars that have been in stock for a long time. These cars may have technical or performance-related issues.
Always check the model and manufacturing date to ensure you are getting a recent and reliable vehicle.
Banking Options and Interest Rates
Discounts may come with finance options that have high-interest rates. Compare different banking options and choose the one with the most favorable interest rate to avoid paying more in the long run.
Launch Offer Misleading
During new model launches, showrooms might offer discounts but omit other benefits like additional warranties or free services. Ensure you are getting the full range of benefits and not just a partial discount.
Illusion of Free Accessories
Showrooms often promise free accessories, but these might be of low quality or their cost might already be included in the car’s price. Verify the actual price and quality of these “free” accessories before accepting the deal.
Sale of Used and Demo Cars
Some dealers might sell demo or used cars as new. These cars may have already started their warranty period, leaving you with a shorter coverage time. Ensure that the car is truly new and check the warranty details.
Making an Informed Decision
Always do thorough research and understand all terms and benefits before making a purchase.
An informed and cautious decision is always the best choice to avoid being misled by showroom tactics.
