Dear Mods - if there is a similar topic, please merge this with that thread.
I have a BS-IV Scorpio bought in 2011, which has run 1,70,000 kms ! It is in good condition and would run for many years to come.
With BS-VI cut-off going in to effect from April 2020, does it make sense to replace my vehicle with another BS-IV Diesel vehicle ?
At any point of time, 6-7 people in our family travel in Scorpio. So, my requirement is another SUV or MUV / MPV only. Our run-in is also quite high as evident from the odometer reading.
Budget is up to 15 lakhs only, not more than that. After going through models from various manufacturers, we zeroed in on Xylo H8 (will be going out of production soon or already out of production), Marazzo M6 and Suzuki Ertiga VDi or ZDi.
Mahindra & Suzuki have not yet released BS-VI ready Diesel vehicles. Suzuki has come out with BS-VI ready Petrol Ertiga only.
I have the following options:
1. Use my Scorpio till 2020 or more. Wait & watch for good BS-VI Diesel offerings from various manufacturers that come with in my budget and buy.
2. Sell my Scorpio now and get a new BS-IV Diesel vehicle with good discounts
Government is now saying that all BS-IV vehicles purchased before April 2020, will be valid through out its registration period (15 years).
What will happen after 15 years ?
Will those cars be compulsorily scrapped ?
Will car manufacturers offer buy-back scheme, similar to what was offered in some European countries ?
Please advise...
