Team-BHP - View Single Post - How is the cooling with lack of Rear Ac for Safari LX

DaiusPitar · 12th May 2008, 08:06

My situation is simlar to that of DieselOne excepting my vehicle would carry 5 people most of the time but also 6 people often (jump seats will come in to use with stops for alternating on them) and the vehicle will be meant for long highway trips in TN (after all how much will sun films with a single AC compensate in this heat with 6 people).

So while I see much more value in buying the LX and customising it myself for the accessories (still saving a pretty penny), I need the rear o/h ac too. And I prefer the grey interiors.

Problem is, I was told by the sales guy at Wasan Motors (Chembur, Mumbai) that fitting the rear o/h ac can be done for around 20,000/- odd.

However, it would definitely void the warranty on the vehicle.

My query: is this true and has it been confirmed by anybody with any other dealer? I could lift the phone and ask a few of them myself but am hoping somebody on closer terms with a dealer or more familiar with the 2.2 warranty conditions can confirm.

If so an after-fit is out and EX it has to be for me

Another reason I ask this is because it was this same guy (Satish Thaapar at Wasan) who also very 'knowledgeably' told me that the LX is available in Pearl White. Something that seems to have been proven wrong on TBHP elsewhere.

Regards..
