Volkswagen Vento and Volkswagen Polo are looking to buck the trend for the poor sales of petrol cars this season. The ever increasing petrol prices have surely made the company go for a last ditch effort to improve its sales and only time will tell if others are to follow suit.The company has huge stocks of previous years Volkswagen Vento and Polo. So if you are planning to buy a petrol car you can surely turn it to your advantage. Normally most companies face the dilemma at the end of the year and usually clear the sales by the first quarter. However coming close to five months into 2012, Volkswagen has no other option but to clear its 2011 Polo and Vento petrol models. Of the current lot VW is the only manufacturer left to sell its 2011 cars though.
The 1.2 and 1.6 petrol Polo is now cheaper by a huge Rs 50,000 in cash. The deal also gets a lot tempting with free insurance and a two-year annual maintenance contract (AMC) worth Rs 60,000 collectively. The overall discount comes up to a whopping Rs 1.1 lakh if you buy this on road in Mumbai. These calculations are for the base Trendline variant.
On the other hand the Vento cousin also gets cheaper by Rs 1 lakh cash discount for the 2011 model. Even the 2012 petrol 1.2 Polo gets free insurance and AMC worth Rs 60,000.
The only trick you need to remember is if you register a 2011 model in 2012, the date of manufacture is what decides the value of a car so this can affect its price when you decide to sell it. Not many know about this, but used car dealers do have a sniff for them and you need to be smart when you quote the price compared to a car manufactured in 2012.
