Deal hunter: Big savings on Mercedes-Benz Vito

The Mercedes-Benz Vito has carved out a respectable reputation as a workhorse, but it struggles to sell in the same numbers that many of its more affordable rivals do.

So this month, the Mercedes-Benz Vito 116 CDI in mid-wheelbase form with automatic transmission is selling for $910 less than its manufacturer’s retail list price – and that includes the on-road costs.

All up, it’s a saving worth thousands to van buyers.

Mercedes-Benz dealers are also offering an alternative to that deal – finance at a rate of 2.49 per cent over a three-year period. This particular incentive is only available to approved business customers and costs $149 a week through Mercedes-Benz Financial Services Australia.

Passenger car buyers don’t miss out, however.

The Kia Cerato S with automatic transmission is normally priced at $25,490 plus the on-road costs.

Buyers can rush in and plonk down that sum and just $500 more to drive away in the Cerato – as either a hatch or sedan. That’s stamp duty, the first year’s registration and compulsory third-party insurance for just $500 on top of the manufacturer’s retail list price.

How about an SUV in your life?

The Renault Koleos Life with auto transmission is available at a drive-away price just $1000 more than the MRLP of $32,990.

Buyers can drive out of the showroom for just $33,990 on the road. It’s a lot of car for the money.

All these models are in stock and ready to roll, so don’t hang about...
