Post Lockdown: Best time to buy a used car?

This is the best time to buy a used car. Obviously that’s when the lockdown lifts and if you are in the mood to buy a car and several reasons for that one is of course you know lot of good cars are going to discontinue especially a diesel car. Because lot of them is not taken into bs6 era which comes into effect from 1^st April 2020. 

Of course that has been pushed a bit with the lockdown. It’s got a little messy with certain supreme court directives an you know it’s still there are some possibilities to buy old bs4 cars basically they are all out of the market and what that means is that there are some of these good cars in the used car market. There are lots of diesels you will not get new it might makes sense to look at good diesels as used cars. Because a lot of them lasts really well they don’t need too much maintenance and they make for good used car buys. There’s also another very important reason to buy a used car and that’s again to do with the bs4 to bs6 transition and now what has happened is regulation after 1^st April or little bit after the lockdown you can’t sell a new bs4 car so a lot of dealers are straggled with stock. 

So rather scrap them they have registered the car themselves either their names or some of the associates or the companies names and they have got this whole pool a couple of 1000 them are unused used car because as lot of them are already registered. Technically become used cars they are absolutely brand new it’s been done so that the registration could have been complete before bs6 deadline. But obviously there been no takers for this so what the dealers are doing they registered this new cars themselves and sell it in the used car market. 

Now the advantage i.e. a lot of bs4 cars are straight out of the showroom for the petrol ones is gone 25% to 30% off you are getting the benefit of one full year depreciation right up front and the car is absolutely brand new. On diesels because diesel are going to be more in demand diesel are going to make it obviously let’s say that impact would be less so diesel unused used car will call it will be around 20% to 25 % off so that’s really some great deal you got brand new Skoda Superb you got brand new Nissan Kicks and whole range of pretty diesel cars with 0 mileage which you can now get at 20 to 25% off may be even more. 

So that’s a really good time to buy a used car the stock of this is just about couple of thousand cars by estimate what most of the dealers say. So it’s not going to last for long so just snap up this cars as soon as you can also another reason to buy these car is that the prices of bs6 cars have gone up.
