Which Ford dealer near Noida?

I am going to buy fiesta zxi petrol this month.

I have two dealers

South City Ford in Noida
&
Harpreet Ford, Ghaziabad

I live in Greater Noida.

Please suggest which one would be better based on experience, hearings or any other criteria.

I have only one criteria, that is Noida is closer to my residence and easy approach.

please suggest

simple

Question of buying vs servicing is different.

For buying, my order of priority
1. Deals/ discounts given by dealership
2. Financing options given (dealer financing maybe cheaper)
3. TD vehicle quality/ speedometer

For servicing - neither a ford owner nor delhite. guess, you need to test the waters

thanks for the response.

please elaborate the "speedometer" part that you mentioned.

both dealer's TD vehicles were ok. One with 1.4 EXI, other with 1.6 SXI.
Condition of 1.4 was better , may be since it was newer.

In my opinion, both purchase and service should be from the best, even if it is a little far way. For service, definitely something closer is ideal, but for sale, you only have to go once (companies now even do home delivery of new cars). Have you checked Harpreet Ford at Moti Nagar (I live in East Delhi and bought my car from Moti Nagar which was 24 km away, even though a competing dealer was less than 3 kms).

Some dealers dont have a dedicated TD or Demo vehicle.

they instead offer TD on new vehicles and take their cable out.

and the Odometer still shows very less kms.

and then they sell the same vehicle to unsuspecting customers.

so buying from a dealer who has dedicate TD vehicle gives you peace of mind.

Buy from the guy who gives you the cheapest car. Even if he is in North Delhi. As long as you do your homework, you will not be given a used TD car passed off as new.
Its the servicing part where you need to be choosy.
For example getting to Ghaziabad from Greater noida will take you more than 1 hour in peak traffic. In the evening it can take 3 hours

So, no comments on the dealers ??!!

Well, I am getting better deal from South City and also option of encashment if I dont awail the company kit in scheme for march.

Harpreet is not giving any encashment. I have to take the kit.

Kit is good though :

kenwood single din MP3 CD player
fog lamp kit with chrome
rear sproiler.

I am going for 1.6 ZXI which is a new entrant in 2008 which minimizes chances of it being used as test vehicle.
