We booked our Vdi on 12 March from Indus Motors in Chennai. i think the promise was 4 weeks at that time.
Every time we called the guy the time was increased, and when I complained to his manager the guy just laughed.
In the end I was surprised to get a call from Indus saying that if I wanted to pay extra for ABS they had a vehicle available in our chosen colour expected in about a week. I thought I'd ordered ABS anyway.
So... they guy we originally dealt with was an idiot, got a heap of stuff wrong, caused no end of trouble to the company and, don't worry, because he doesn't work there any longer. Nor does his manager.
Yes, I paid the extra for the ABS and took delivery on 25 May. The team who handled our order were excellent, and are continuing to sort stuff out for us.
So... 6 weeks. Not too bad.
It seems, though, that the dealers have little or no idea what is going to be sent to them when! It's a pity that the salesfolk are not more open about this.
If I'm looking at the right number, the on-the-road price, VDI with imobiliser, was 5,76,974. I got a few accessories, on account of the messing around by the ex-salesman, but there's no bargaining on the diesel prices at all (it seems). Seller's market! |
