Pro Tips for Maximum Savings

• Negotiate the discount AND the price: Festive discounts come off the ex-showroom price. Negotiate the ex-showroom price first, then apply the discount on top
• Ask for 2025 model year stock: Dealers are desperate to clear old stock — discounts are always larger
• End of month > Start of month: Sales targets pressure means the last week of October will have the best deals
• Don't reveal you have an old car to exchange: Get the final new-car price locked first, then negotiate the exchange value separately

Offers vary by city, variant and stock availability. Always call at least 3 dealers and get quotes in writing before booking.
