I had plans to buy i10 and for that I had been to many dealers in bangalore. the best deal I got was in Trident Hyundai 100 ft road. I was very happy as the EMI and the down payment was quite low in this showroom as compared to other showrooms. the sales person also called me 2-3 times next day to confirm if I was coming or not. I had made up my mind to finalize the deal there and took all my documents in the showroom to book my car. Next day when I went, the dealer then suddenly changed his condition that if I take the delivery of the car this month (i had been there on 23 May) then he can give me the 1st year free insurance (almost 16K) else whatever offer will be there at the time of delivery he’ll give that offer.
I sensed something fishy here. The 1st day when I had been there the sales person was telling that if I book the car this month I’ll be eligible for this offer and the very next day he told that the offer depends on the day you take the delivery of the car. I asked him if the delay is from his side (finance, car not ready etc.) then who’ll be responsible for the offer delay. He simply told me that it will be your luck.This statement of his raised alarm. I was there to buy a car and not to participate in any lucky dip. I simply said in that case i’ll book my car next month seeing what the offer is and left the place. I went to advaith hyundai and booked my car where they were giving the same offer only difference was the down payment was little more than what trident was giving me. and my car delivery date had nothing to do with the offer. But I felt it was worth it as the chances of getting cheated in trident was more.
I would never recommend Trident 100ft road to anyone as the salesperons will be very active and give lucrative offer before but later they’ll show their true colors.
