Your weekend guide to wheels n' deals

By Tony Ng

If you have been paying attention to our weekend wheels n' deals, you'll probably notice a few similarities in this weekend's pricing packages and last weekend. Like the Swift celebration.

With more than a million Swifts having been produced and sold globally, Suzuki has thrown together a milestone promotion. Buy a Swift and you'll get to choose three gifts. You get a choice of Apple iPod touch (8GB), a Garmin GPS, first month installment, $400 insurance subsidy, car sticker vouchers worth $500 or a 3-year 3M car grooming package. www.suzukicar.com.sg/swift1million/

If you're looking for an Mitsubishi Evo X and you're a Ralliart fan as well, good news. Mitsubishi is now giving away $3,000 worth of Ralliart vouchers. To sweeten the deal, they're also giving away the rally-inspired "Racing Package" worth $4,600. Just remember to ask for it. www.mitsubishicars.com.sg

And Toyota repeats its offer of a Camry from $82,4888 with all the bells and whistles thrown in. You get a free Inteli-Drive system which comprises of GPS and bluetooth capabilities, a reverse camera, DVD player and MP3/MP4 functions. On top of that, you'll get up to $1,000 insurance subsidy. Limited units only. www.toyota.com.sg

Merc is still offering the E230 for the price of an E200. It comes guaranteed Certificate of Entitlement (COE), financial rebates worth $13,000 with a subsidised interest rate. And to top if off, savings of $22,000 from the complimentary upgrade. Limited time offer, they say. www.mercedes-benz.com.sg

Volkswagen has also priced its new Jetta 1.4 TSI (turbocharged, 122bhp, 7-speed DSG) quite competitively, we must say, from $73,800 (watch out for Chris Tan's review next week). www.vwasia.com/publish/vwasia/singapore/en.html

On another end, BMW has come up with an M-badged Aerodynamic package for the BMW 525i. www.pml.com.sg/bmw

No strings attached

Chevrolet is kindly offering to sponsor your next cinematic experience. It is giving away movie tickets for every Optra Magnum test drive at all Chevy showrooms this weekend. www.chevrolet.com.sg

Individual terms and conditions apply to all these offers.
