I booked a Honda Activa by paying an advance of Rs 1000/- to the local dealer, Varun Honda on 5th September ‘08. My choice was silver colour. The dealer assured that the delivery will be made within a month.
When I contacted on 30th Septermber, I was told that the silver colour may not be available in the coming 2-3 months and was suggested to take black colour. I advised the matter to the Company, who gave a positive response. The Company official rang me on 3rd October and informed that they are dispatching the silver colour vehicle by 10th October and I can take the delivery between 17th to 20th October.
My enquiries with the dealer revealed that they have not got the silver colour vehicle and I have to wait further. As regard further waiting time, they did not have any answer.
To my utter surprise, I saw a brand new silver colour Honda activa on road 3-4 days ago. The lady owning it advised that they purchased it a day before Deepawali. I am confused, it is Company’s policy or dealer’s, to keep customer waiting. May be the dealer may have got some extra for that. The reviews on this site give a complete picture of the dealership qualities of HMSI. The product is in demand due to its quality but only god knows how long this will pull on.
