Buddies,

When we purchase a new Car or a Bike, often the accessories are offered to us against a price addition to the On-Road price of the car / bike. The price quoted by authorized dealer always differs from the price prevailing in open market. This thread will basically focus on a simple question i.e Are Authorized Dealer's Accessories Value For Money? Most of you may have bought accessories for your car/bike from the authorized dealer and a similar product in open market was available at a competitive price too. So, at the time of purchase, did you find the authorized dealer's accessories for your car/bike worthy of the price tag?

Please share your experience in following format:

Name of Dealer

Brand Name

Purchased Car Or Bike

Kind of Accessory Bought

Price Quoted by Dealer

Price of Similar Equipment Outside Dealership

Regards

Akash

Actually there is no simple answer. One has to keep open mind and research on what one wants to buy, to valuate the pros and cons.

I got reverse cam for XUV 500 from dealer for 4k. VFM since I could have peace with warranty and great Fit & Finish. On the other hand, Roof rack was priced at dealer as 13k, Which I brought for 6.5K from Decor shop. Same issues with items like HID kits, Speakers etc. Horribly priced and not enough expertise to install them either.

Name of Dealer- Mahindra, Jalgaon

Brand Name- Mahindra

Purchased Car Or Bike- XUV 500

Kind of Accessory Bought- Reverse camera

Price Quoted by Dealer- 4k

Price of Similar Equipment Outside Dealership- Same

Name of Dealer : harpreet ford

Brand Name- Ford

Purchased Car Or Bike -car

Kind of Accessory Bought - autocop reverse parking sensors

Price Quoted by Dealer - 3000rs

Price of Similar Equipment Outside Dealership - should be less than 2k since the model they were giving didn't have the mirror attachment which has a digital display to tell the distance. I got autocop sensors with mirror attachment for 2200rs.
