I am planning to buy a car this year around Diwali or at the year end. Firstly, what would be the best time to buy a car with maximum discounts and overall best buying experience? I am looking to buy a big-5 seater car. Since I am soon going to be a dad, so a comfortable and safe car for the family is my priority along with super good fuel efficiency, low maintenance and very good ownership. From usage perspective, I am looking for long travels once a month or two and daily office commute. On average, my monthly running would be 3000-4500 km. I can start from around 8 lakhs and stretch up to 15 lakh (on-road price) but not go beyond that. A low budget car is also not an issue if mileage, safety and good space is there. Around 12 lakhs is the sweet spot. From features point of view as long as the car has also essentials, it's fine. Basically, I want a car in this budget with no-nonsense features. Feel good features that can be barely used can be skipped if it saves my money. I am planning to keep this car for at least next 10 - 12 years. A few cars that are currently in trend and are on my mind include Grand Vitara, Victoris, Duster, Nexon, Curvv and Hyryder. But please let me know which is the best car according to you and which is the variant that I should go for (model, engine, fuel) and the best time to buy that car. Also please suggest from perspective of e20 fuel debate. Thank you so much.
