[Resolved]  Honda City — False advertisement

Address:

Chennai, Tamil Nadu

Sub :Fooling Customers with false advertisement

Due to tough competition, Honda City have been advertising about their price reduction in almost all the places stating starting price 7.45Lakhs. Please see at top, they have even put their advertisement in this site. I Have received a quote from a dealer about the price for the entry model E-MT and thats 7.49 as advertised but all the dealers are saying that they stopped the production on that model recently and car will be available only after second week of october. They were trying to sell the next variant which is 1lakhs more and the feature is not worth for a lakh and also the % of price reduction is very less for this & next variant as comparer to E MT. I stopped my plan to buy the Honda City as though we are sure cars are available, they are not selling and they are trying to sell the next variant and one sales rep informally told the E MT model cars are available and as per instruction, they stopped selling though the cars are available.

Couple of days before, again a sales rep callled me and the car is available now and can come & book the E MT model. After 4 or 5 confirmation in a day from sales rep, and as informed I went to olympia show room @ 10.30. There they again started the same thing, the car is not available and they were almost forcing for the next variant. I really got irritiated as they have changed the things in 12 hours. Even I book the car with 1 lakhs or 50K, I cant take the car at today's price and really not sure whats that booking mean.

My compliant here is 'If the car is not in production or they stopped production that variant, why the hell they are advertising in all the forums that the price starts @ 7.49 Lakhs and why are they fooling customers". If they are not selling the car, they are not supposed to advertise like this.
