Dealers taking customers for a ride !!! Demanding 50k premium !!!

Let me start by saying that I have been a proud owner of TWO Maruti cars so far. M800 AC - Reg No. AP29G 3324 & Zen LXI - AP 29M5929, both bought in 2005.

Now i dont feel proud anymore, after the episode of what i have gone thru, while checking in for an exhange of car to Swift diesel / Dzire. Your dealers are clearly taking us for a big ride !!!

Here goes my experience !!

I walk in to one of your dealers Showroom to check the above two models. First of all, they reject to take an order as these models are over booked and there is no supply for the early orders !!!!

Then, when i go to the same sales person with a mutual friends reference, they come out with demands !!!!

1. Pay a premium of 40k - 50k to get delivery in a week !!!!!!!!

2. Take finance from them only, where interest is 2 % higher than the competitive offer !!!

I have driven Dzire and felt good, but when it comes to the booking of the vehicle, nobody commits what is the delivery period.

I saw you adv on Dzire and the company showing interest in customers and paying an interest of 12% if the waiting period is beyond 15 days of booking !!!, but what is the point if you cant track what is happening at the ground level. Your Dealser are taking us for a big RIDE !!! and they can fool us by not paying any interest as there is no audit happening on the bookings from the manufacturer.

I did fmove out of hyderabad and inquired with other dealers in the upcountry dealers on the delivery !!! To my shock, even they are demanding a premium of 20k on the prices to get early delivery

With all the above experiences, i felt disgusted and has given a token advance to Hyundai Accent GLE !!!!

Only if you can take some interest in the genuine buyers and correct this, will i be interested in buying hereafter. Also, please check the levels of frustration of other customers who have booked these models on CARWALE.COM to know more.
