The car and two-wheeler dealers of the city are providing special offers, discounts and prizes to boost up their sales on the occasion of Dhanteras (November 10). A large number of vehicles have been booked in advance and will be delivered on this day as claimed by the dealers.
The vehicle showrooms are opened till late night every day and the employees are working overtime as the sales have boosted since the Dussehra festival.
“A total of 125 cars of every range from hatchback, sedan to SUV have been booked and will be delivered on Dhanteras. Last year, 74 cars were sold on the auspicious day. The most selling cars are hatchbacks as they are economical for a middle class family. SUV cars are also in high demand. I have been waiting for an SUV car for more than three months. The supply is not as per the demand. The company is providing exciting offers like exchange bonus on old cars, free accessories, corporate discounts from INR 3,000 to INR 10,000,” said Amit Singh, sales executive at a car showroom at Boring Road.
Vivek Kumar, a customer visiting a showroom at Exhibition Road, said he had booked an SUV around one month ago and wanted it to be delivered on Dhanteras, but the car has not arrived at the dealer’s place till now.
Bhupendra Kumar, area sales manager of an electric car company, said, “The electric cars are in demand these days.”
The customers are now also prefering electric two-wheelers as they are economical.
