While I could wait for the 2017 model in black, it will be dearer by a few lakhs, (not to forget the discounts will be minimal) and my affordability will get affected. They managed to find a Silver 2.2 Trend but it is an MT and the dealer is ready to compensate with an additional discount (to be read as small discount). So it's either going to be a Grey/Red/Bronze AT or a Silver MT. They don't have a black even on the Titanium cut.

The mind says go for the AT (how does the colour really matter after you get inside the car!). But the heart says Silver MT (how can you ever buy a 30 lakh car in a colour that you won't like to see every morning!) Chances are, I'll end up listening to the heart and disappointing the leg!

IMHO, I have a silver AT, it looks awesome from my point of view. AT is better than manual, color will grow on you. You cant change transmission. I would go for bronze in this case.

I am surprised that you are not considering Red. It is the colour that distinguishes Endeavour . If the car is being driven a lot in city, I would strongly suggest to go for AT . Bronze on road looks good and so does silver.My suggestion would be to go for Red/Bronze AT.
P.S: Bronze colour is now widely accepted and is offered by almost all manufacturers. From resale perspective bronze should be as good as red.

Endy 2017 trend review in AU.
http://www.caradvice.com.au/508096/2...-rwd-review-2/

[torquing_points]

The endy comes with a 2Y/100K warranty and there's an additional extended warranty for one year which extends only the year, not the KM.

what's the standard warranty coverage on the endy? Is there fine print on the extended warranty on the Endy, or is it the same coverage as the base warranty?

Is it worth the extra ~20K?

Standard warranty for Endy is 2 years / 100,000 kms whichever comes first. By paying additional 20000 it increases to 3 years /100,000.
Abroad it already comes with 3 years.

When I am buying a 30 lac + car I would not mind paying extra 20000 for another year of warranty as more the electronics more the problems (may be )
It's totally a personal choice.

Well again the catch is, what is covered and what is not covered in the extra additional warranty. Because for my xuv500 I had purchased 4th & 5th year extended warranty and many things were not included as the standard warranty.

Eureka Ford Teynampet in Chennai saying that 1.5 lacs offer only for Trend variants and no manufacturer discount for Titanium variants - is it true?

These are the offers for trend 2.2 in Chennai. 1.08 cash discount, 1.0 exchange bonus for select cars, discount if you purchase the insurance through the dealer. They also have a ford finance offer at a subsidised rate but 5 years is the maximum term. Should you take the finance option, you don't get the 1.08 lac, discount. Also, only 3 colours are available in AT - Red, bronze and grey

Hi friends.
With great regret I would like to inform that I cancelled the booking of the endy 3.2L trend sunset red. The model offered was a Mar.2016 and on the day of booking I was promised Nov or Dec. Model.
A big game. The trends have sold in less numbers that's why so many discounts.
After paying 30Lac+ I can't accept a 9 month old product. The showroom says they were unaware of this and they don't see the VIN when vehicle is allotted to them ???
The matter was escalated to Ford and I was supposed to receive a call from them but no call in last 24 hours. Not bothered ???
Ford said that they would issue me a special letter certifying that the required parts as per service schedule were changed since Mar.2016. But this is not acceptable to me.
As I had paid the full amount I thought of negotiating a further discount of 1 lac to which the showroom acknowledged and decided to give 50k discount. But at the end I was not at all satisfied and decided to call it off.
Overall a very bad first experience with Ford company and Bhavna Ford,Nerul. Never had such problems previously.
Just a heads up to all who have booked a Trend. Please check the VIN before registration and then decide. All the best.

I think you should have gone ahead, these trucks were at FORD factory not at any dealership yard. It's not uncommon in luxury car segment to buy a Year or even two-year-old cars. I can't think of anything that will go wrong with a car in 9 months. Perhaps you can ask for a free extended warranty and tell them to change Oil without any charge after 1000 Km / 3 months. There's a reason that FORD is selling these at low prices and if we consider expected new rates of 2017, you will be losing a lot of money. Perhaps wait for a while and see what's a general consensus here.

I would recommend you go ahead instead of cancelling and ask for some additional coverage like 1 yr. addl. warranty. There could be nothing wrong with the product and at the most you can insist that they change fluids before they deliver.

That's sad. I am getting an aug 30 manufactured car and ext warranty is part of the deal. I checked car in flesh and did not notice any problems peripherally. Negotiated a 20% discount on accessories. Hope i will not run into problem with this

Why will you get into the problems? Do we scrap our cars after using for a Year? Just get Oil change within Year of production or at First service after 1000 Km or even before delivery as Naresh has suggested and you should be good.

BHPian anumod shares this bit of info:

The last Trend was manufactured in September.
All the manuals are manufactured in March and April only.
