The year-end brings with it a whole host of reasons for car buyers to celebrate. This time of year is one of the best to seal the deal on the car of your choice, as carmakers dish out huge deals and discounts in a bid to clear their inventories. And if buying a car that's made in 2012 instead of 2013 isn't much of a deterrent, there's no better time than now to upgrade to a new set of wheels and make the most of your budget.

Kicking off the list is Maruti. The carmaker is offering a cash discount of 14,000, a music system worth 8,000 and an exchange bonus worth 15,000, which totals up to 37,000 on its Alto K10 LXi variant. The SX4 VXi petrol trim is being offered with discounts worth 65,000, while the Wagon R LXi CNG trim is going for a very tempting 50,000 discount. This includes a cash discount of 22,000, a music system worth 8,000 and an exchange bonus of 20,000.
