Well this is quite commonplace now. Factory seconds are sold to dealers at 30 to 35% off the Ex Showroom Price. And they can be had by us consumers at 25% off from these dealers. I get updated about such deals quite often.

On a similar note - A friend working for Chevrolet mentioned of factory seconds (registered temporarily on Chevrolet's name) are auctioned off. They sell about 6 cars per quarter, and currently 3 are left for now..

Price quoted is 6-8L which needs to be bought on auction. Cars are 2010 or early 2011 manufactured. The car in question is a Chevrolet Cruze with about 9-10000 Kms on the odo.

It comes with company warranty/ insurance / even an option of taking a loan!

Edit: The place of auction / car's location is unknown - but was told I need to take prior permission to even enter the yard to checkout the cars.

Is it worth risking to go ahead for a car of this type? Please clarify.

Thanks,
Ananth
