Xylo had the price advantage. But now that is gone. Actually after a lot of thought and little compromise I had settled to buy an E8. But suddenly thie below happened.
1) The day I took the test drive I was told that the onroad price is Rs926000. But after 5 days (Next weekend)
when I reached the Dealer to pay the advance, I came to know that the same day early morning, the rate is increased
to 943000 (A Rs 17000 increase). That also without any value addition to the poduct.
* The price was one advantage with Xylo. So that's gone for sure. Quality and service wise, The mile stone is Toyota. It may take a decade to reach.
Why they increased the rate with such a huge amount, no body knows. No explanation for that.
Who knows, the day you get the delivery of that car, you may find a much bigger number on your bill.
I guess Mahindra should get tuition from Tata (A Quote from Ratan Tata : 'A Promie is a Promise').
I agree, Mahindra didn't promise, but increasing the rate by such a huge amount within a month of it's release,
I didn't fell good. I felt cheated some how. I read, in a month they have booked around 4000 cars. May be they
became greedy.
2)For E8, very limited (Likeble) colors are offered. In E8 some how I managed to like the Red Toredo and Gold Shimmer.
Red cars attracts a lot of unwanted attention (Along with wanted ones), it's presence is complete felt. Also I am
not in late 20 :) This car is not targeted to very young peolpe (On young Red will go well). During resale, all family
man may not find this attractive. So I thought to go for Gold Shimmer.
But Gold Shimmer's interior is deep black (What a furnance?). You can't choose interior color too. Because of global warming, day by day temperature is increasing. So this deep black interior will make you feel very uneasy inside it and will increase the fuel consumption.
Now I have nothing to choose from.
My time is completely wasted. I have already asked the dealer to refund my money (Hope they will return it sooner). That's why people say, there is a lot in a brand name and they ask little premium for this. It takes huge time to build that. Thoug Mahindra has spent time but some how they missed this kind of basic behaviors towards consumer. Because of this we can trust a foreign brand more than our own brand. If this is the level of service before buying, then after you buy, what will happen? I feel very bad to write all these. Now I am going for Innova... It took little time for me to realise this.
