  • I was in the market for a used car, browsing sites like Olx Auto, Spinny for options. But I ended up driving home in a brand new, fully loaded Škoda Slavia STYLE! And here's the kicker: it was actually cheaper than the used Slavias available!
    In this video, I'll take you through my car buying journey:
    - My initial used car search: How I explored different options and platforms.
    - The unexpected turn of events: How I stumbled upon an incredible deal on a new Slavia.
    - The negotiation process: The tips and strategies I used to secure the best price.
    - Slavia review: My thoughts and impressions after owning the car for a while.
    And a lot more!
    If you're looking to buy a car, this video is for you. I'll share valuable insights and practical advice that will help you make an informed decision and potentially save a lot of money. Big thank you to Siddhant for sharing my passion on this journey!

    I too have a story exactly like this buying new car, we end up buying KIA 2023 HTK+ diesel IMT model in the end. Me and my dad shortlisted Skoda and GV/Hyryder, but diesel preference with great 2023 discount was too much to let go. By the way, our usage is more than 20k kms in a year. So, diesel made more sense. Very happy to see others happiness put together in a video like this. Great work and genuine conversation. By the way, we only checked 1.0 Slavia, and I did not like it - engine not refined in 1.0 and nobody told us this 24th flash sale trick for 1.5L engine. My dad liked Skoda more, the look and feel inside and out however, I was slightly concerned about fuel economy in city for that 1.0L engine.

      On insurance, there are a few things to think about. 1) zero dep insurance 2) return to invoice.. check with your dealer, they'll be able to guide you well. But check policybazaar and acko before finalizing and buy from them. Not the dealer

    Hi Pranay,
    I found the video very insightful and loved the format. Congratulations on the new car and on a very good deal!
    I wanted to ask if there were any risks with buying a model that was manufactured 6-7 months ago apart from the couple cosmetic features that you would not get. This would be the physical condition and wear and tear from being parked in the stockyard all this while. I am assuming the PDI then becomes doubly important but would love to get your perspective regarding that.

    • @pranayk37
      @pranayk37  13 днів тому

      You're right on the PDI - it becomes very important. But beyond that not much. The only other thing worth considering is maybe the tyres. Their life goes down by a bit but they are covered for 18 months under warranty so I made my peace

  • @nicku21negi

    But, VW group doesn't give any warranty beyond 5 years in India.

    • @pranayk37

      Yes, please wait till the 24th. Align a dealership beforehand to ensure that if the deal is good, you select the right dealership at the time of booking. It has been happening for a few months so I expect some discounts to come this month but let's see

      If this has been happening for a few months, why don’t people know ? I know this started in the month of March this year.
      Wasn’t the dealer pissed ? I don’t know how Skoda can antagonise its dealers by letting customers buy a car online 😅. It renders the dealers obsolete.
      How much discount on the ex-showroom price do you think can I get ? GroupWe is unfortunately not in Bengaluru.
      Thanks.

    Not some rocket science. If you buy a 2023 manufactured car in mid of 2024, discounts are bound to be hefty. No one buys Skoda cars in India (market share is below 5%), which is why they offer great discounts. A hyundai or a maruti wouldn't give this much even if there's a small chance that a car would be sitting in the yard for 6+ months!

Because most of the people don’t opt for turbo because of the mileage issues… coming to Skoda dsg it’s true as that transmission heats up in city traffic and tends to fail and it’s repair cost is very high… Torque Converter/ AT is the most trusted transmission.

    Hey Pranay.
    Thanks for such epic content ! Slavia at this cost is unbelievable.
    I had a query for you, I work in Bangalore and have been looking for a skoda superb for more than a year, unfortunately, they sell it over here at exorbitant rates. I checked in kolkata and they are charging about 13 lakhs for 2017-2018 models.
    Here is where I'm confused, should I get a 6-7 year old superb (about 30-50k driven) at 13 lakhs (given, everything like service history etc checks out) or should I get something like a new verna 1.5 DCT turbo at about 18-19 lakhs. The superb will hit 10 year mark by 2027 itself, probably start drilling in my pocket due to big repair/replacements, also lose value really bad.
    I intend to drive both the cars politely and gently, and keep it for atleast 5 years. What would you do in this case ? In terms of cost of ownership, hassle etc.
    Thanks a lot in advance, and please keep bringing more such content to us, I barely know any other content creator who talk about real life buyer challenges and problems.
