Delivery Gone Wrong / When You Take Off Roading too far.

More pictures. I don't know for sure where this has happened. I guess somewhere in Bangalore?

To console this small jolt, the SA said - Sir, you are atleast getting a 2022 Model and not 2021 unlike the Diesel guys. There is nothing called as price protection in Mahindra, even though you may have booked it before the price hike happened.

I had booked Black THAR LX AT Hard Top, on 5 sep 2021 near my place.
The quote given around that time was 17.50Lakhs On road, Ex showroom: 15,09,679.

Now the SA has contacted me for interest in buying a red thar, 2021 manufactured. He has also informed that around 65k price increase.


Googling for price increase turns up news about old price increase.

I am planning to just go and take a look at the vehicle, and get an exact quote before pulling the trigger.

As a first time car buyer anything that I should be wary of at this stage ?

I doubt if there is any red flag for now. Thar is selling like hot cakes. Someone would have canceled the booking. If you finalise the deal, do a thorough PDI and check VIN before making final payment.

Same happened with me, they were offering a 2021 model (Petrol models ofcours) readily available in December end. Red and Black AT, Grey Manual HT with next day delivery. But the SA was from the same place that I am from and said against it. I booked on 6th Jan 2022 and today my Thar LX Manual HT Petrol has already reached the dealership plus it is a 2022 model with 40k increased priced. Ex-showroom price is 13.79L.

Thanks for sharing.

I have been reading this thread regularly and in 2021 thar people were called by service center to do some updates, and even physical/machine part updates I forgot what these were exactly. And the infamous DEF issue.


Will 2022 model come with those updates already installed, will it have some improvements over the 2021 model ?

Any reason for not preferring 2021 model ?

I pity the person to whom this car will be sold. Hope the dealer don't do such stuff and use it as a display car.

I guess this crashed Thar was already sold and this incident occurred during the delivery.
Although not much of a damage, replacing the front bumper is only needed i suppose.

Then I called Mahindra support directly, they pointed me again to the service head, so I had a chat with him and he said Mahindra is changing the radiator assembly because of over heating issues reported by Owners. But has also didn't had any customer facing circulars for that. For my vehicle he said, its not urgent so I can get it done at my convenience, planning to go next month by my own to check what exactly are they changing. Anyone else who got a similar call here?

Moving this post here from the niggles thread -

I got a call about this earlier today, will be going on sometime next week.

What's surprising is I've never seen an issue with my radiator - be it leaks or heating in almost 23,000 KM of ownership of my Diesel AT!

I do appreciate the proactiveness of M&M, like always, though

I messaged the service manager at my service centre about this a few days ago when I read it here. I have had no response at all.

I am guessing either my Thar is not affected since it was manufactured in Oct.'21; or that the service centre has not heard about this and therefore do not have a response.

Cheers

Another instance of Engine failure on the Thar. This time it is a friends Thar which did 32,000 Kms. Surprised to see two instances.

Mahindra needs to do a root cause analysis and share its findings. We need ot understand why it is happening

Is it the mHawk Diesel or mStallion Petrol?

Mahindra should address the issue professionally.
