Buying a 'demo car' from a new car dealer is a winning option

Roadies need to know that new car dealers get the highest variant as demo cars at 20 - 30+% less than the normal price paid for by a customer. At times they get a straight discount, and at times the discount is dependent on the upliftment commitment of the number of vehicles during launch or over the next couple of months. 
More often than not, dealers need to replace the demo car(s) after 2 - 3 years or 20,000 - 30,000 kms on the odometer or prior to the launch of a new variant model - whichever is earlier. It's a misnomer that demo cars are misused and in bad shape. To conclude a new sale, dealers and the principal company always keep the demo cars in excellent condition and keep those well serviced. 
Having said that, flush down all your know-it-all attitude during your morning chores for 3 months before starting your search for a good demo car. If a demo car is in good shape and you have the intellect to spot niggles, and if you can negotiate well, it's a winning option always. 

P.S: If your mind is too full of pre-conceived and constipated notions, please stay away from the desire to own demo cars!
