@Justinsylas:
At the end I'd recommend you to once consult
Raj and
Iron Rock they can clear nearly every query of yours and can help you move further because my limit ends here.
I finalised the deal overall. And my wife also agreed to book Aria. The offer is...
Cash Discount : 1.85 L
Accessories : 65K woth ( Alloys + Tubeless Tyres + Seat Covers + Basic Kits + Car Cover + Polish + Extended Warranty + Foot steps + Reverse Camara [not finalised yet the camera thing] )
It looks like you are inclined more towards the Aria and if that' the case then you should go with it. But the only thing that i wold say before going for the Aria is check the A.S.S. As suggested by Vipul, meet some Aria owner and ask him about the A.S.S.
And if it's not satisfactory then i would recommend you to go with XUV 500. Since Mahindra has better A.S.S and wins the race in that area for sure.
All the Aria owners in my area told me that the vehicle has no issues at all. All of them satisfied. Service guys told me tht, there is no big issues found in the latest vehicles manufactured after May-2011. Bust basically the dealer is not much good. But i hope that i can manage it.
XUV :
+ Better A.S.S.
+ Better resale value
+ More features
- Waiting period
- Plastic quality
Aria :
+ Better ride quality
+ Better plastic quality
- Poor resale value
- Poor A.S.S.
- Spare parts availability is a big issue
Niggling issues are present in both. Take your pick.
I recommend the XUV, primarily since Aria is doing miniscule numbers and is almost on the verge of extinction.
Thanks for your input man. I finalised the Aria Pleasure. Now im using least selling model from TATA, Indigo Marina. I hope tata will not stop the vehicle. They can come up again from ashes as Nano does. I'm going to pay today just 10K token advance. I'll take delivery after 2 weeks.
Actually if i select XUV, i need to wait for months. But in my case the Aria is waiting for me.
