thanks Poloman I understand what you are saying, I will do a full PDI before paying them. And only after I see the car take down the Vin + chassno I will ahnd them over the DD.
For me there are lot of bigger things other than the vat + tax hike too. April 1st I got also renew my parking validation at my office car park. Now I can only take 1 car to work so If I don't get the figo by 1st April I will be stuck using my old car for another 6 months before I can get a new sticker/permit for my parking at office. Its a total mess for me! Quote:

Btw if you really wanted that black ZXI which you saw at the dealership you should have made a commitment with the AGM or GM there so that he does not sell that car to anyone else.
Anyways as i said do tell me your status today & lets hope for the best that you can get your car registered by tomorrow or day after.
@captain slow : I dont want to trivialize the matter but if you rely on dealer commitments(whether ford or any other car maker) & cancel your booking, if they dont fulfill it, then probably you wont have a new car, ever. This is the fact of all dealers & the basic Indian mentality of "Chalta Hai". You would be surprised to know about how much lies i hear everday about dealers telling their customers, Some of it is very very silly & funny & i can make a whole new thread about it & still dealers never learn. |
Thanks Mustang,
Yes I did so Mustang!! Last Thursday when I was at the showroom thats when they told me about the black zxi that was canceled. I told them I will take it.
My sales guy spoke to his boss (bosses name was Mr Kiran, he was the head of something at palace road metro ford) He asked me to wait for 10-15 min and that he would confirm with the person who booked it and allot the car to me. This turned out to be a 45min wait for me at the showroom and finally I went to him and told him that I can pay right way if he allots the car to me. Thats when he does some drama saying there is a que for a car he has to check his list and see who is next and only then he could let me have it. (maybe he wanted me to pay something extra?)
Informs me that he would let me know about this the next day morning (friday morning) I told revvy about this too.
Friday moring no calls so I land at the showroom and ask mr Kiran about the zxi thats when he tells me the car went to someone else
My sales guy come running to me and and says " Sir your car is on the way" will be here on Sunday. Quote:

Its a Vat increase across India. I'm not sure maybe someone from the finance background could confirm this? Quote:

What kind of confusion? Has your car even left the plant? or they are still giving you the run about?
Revvy you and me both are stuck here reading about others zipping in thier figo's while we are still cribbing at our dealers doors! arr
