Quikr — Old under the garb of new

Address:New Delhi, Delhi, 124507

On 11.02.2016, i visited a seller of acs (Ad id[protected] who placed an ad for new acs on quikr. It turned out to be a tyre shop who had a lot of acs some of which were packed in cartons and it seemed that he had purchased them in a lot.
Although he had advertised price in the rang eof 22-23000, under the name of advanced technology, i made a deal at rs. 31500 for a 2 ton inverter ac including stabiliser, cartage, installation, gas refilling alongwith whatever pipe etc. Were needed for installation. He said that it would take him some time to find out the matching indoor and outdoor unit of my specification, he offered to send the product either the next day or maximum in 2 days.
I paid him an advance of rs.5000 and he sent me a sms for this deal.

After i few days i got the indoor and outdoor units thru a car, whose driver insisted that now i pay the full amount as the unit was now delivered. On my insistence, he reduced the amount by the installation charge and argued hard insisting to pay him the balance total amount. He further said that his man will visit us in a day or max 2 to instal the unit. He also warned that when the engineer arrives, we will have to hand him over full amount before installation and he will not wait till we test the machine. We objected to this, on which he agreed to give us half an hour for testing as, he said, the ac would start cooling in half an hour.
Now here comes the real stuff of the story
His person did not come for the next one week. Meanwhile, one of my friends got suspicious and he asked me to check the authenticity of the product.
To my surprise, the indoor unit was a 1.5 t unit and not 2.0 t as agreed. When i brought this fact to the notice of sardarji, he took it very lightly and assured me that the person who will come for installation will bring the changed unit alongwith him.
But till date, nobody has appeared since then. The calls go unanswered and on whatsapp i gave me a deadline to either get the unit installed or take it back and return the money till 05.03.2016. To which i received a call from some lady who said it would not be possible to get the unit installed till that date as all their engineers were busy.
Meanwhile the price of acs have gone up and i have to install another unit.
