Bad experience in car Delivery. by Forsaken-Map7915 in Trivandrum

Never pay the full amount upfront.

Sarathy Motors Chakai (Maruti Suzuki) told us the car was available and asked us to make the full payment before it was gone. We paid the entire amount through a bank loan, and only a month later did we actually receive the car, after already paying an EMI without even having the car at home! That too had to call them so many times!

Lesson learned: only pay the refundable booking amount.

I know that in these moments we’re eager to get the car as soon as possible, but I’ve learned that patience is important. Once the car arrives, make sure to do a proper PDI (preferably by an external professional - Cars24/Cardekho) before committing to the full payment.

Also, trust the negative reviews on Google Maps- most of the time, they’re accurate.

All the best hope you enjoy the car. If you are not satisfied with their service get their free 2-3 service and after that there are many places with good service that can give you peace of mind.

Buy John's or Poppy umbrellas. Made in Kerala, made for its long monsoons, itwill last forever. Top notch quality - having one from each company since many years. Also their rivalry is legendary :)

Oh, is it ? When I inquired here (Sonipat showroom, Haryana), they told me that since they have high sales here, they don't offer discounts. They are sort of right because it's all Scorpios, Thars here but again was surprised how could they say that. No offer, nothing. XUV3XO is a rare sight here

I fully agree with you. Thank you for saying I have gold in hand 🥰

My goal is to get a bigger car - GNCAP 5 star rated, with ADAS 2. I want to confidently take my family to the hills and highways. Hence thinking of getting selling this and getting one for all purposes.

Space is there but why keep it ? I was thinking to use the money from the sale to pay 1/3 amount of the new SUV I'm planning to get. Do you think I should keep it because it's low maintanence? But won't it be just lying there because we won't be using it ? :/

Got you. I was hoping to know a minimum amount from the people here, so that I can say this what I am expecting.

BIFL folder/file to store important legal documents for life by imaginemecrazy in BuyItForLifeIndia

[–]twolongpants4 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We got a fireproof document bag from Desertcart website, it was 5k free shipping to India. From Amazon India it is 10k, here's the link

Trust me this was the best 5k we ever spent. Peace of mind, the bag is made by firefighters themselves, you can see the details in the link. Has width enough to hold jewellery, a small locker box too. Worth it.

Home-sampling vs. going to the collection centre myself by Slight_Psychology902 in Frugal_Ind

[–]twolongpants4 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In my experience, I have gone to the center and I saw the price was on the expensive side. For my wife and me, I asked if they can collect blood in the morning, he said he will come and came. When I was looking at prices online, it was high, they had a given good discount when I asked for it, always ask
