They now deal only with Pug, so  the Sales team would,nt  get you mixed with them.   Sadly ,they wouldn't recognize a potential customer even if they tripped over one.

Anyways, their prices are too high.

i saw few 3008's on sale brought by out side parties for a lower price. Do not know about warranties etc.

Sales guy who is handling 3008 is Piushan p.piushan@carmart-ltd.com

How ever the terms of import required by Carmart is not very favorable. They require cash to open LC etc etc unlike other agents

Would love believe their strategy and culture has changed. Highly unlikely from what I hear. Proceed with a caution

Not really. He sent me an invitation for the vehicle launch where i met him.

Just to get an idea of the prices.

Tax:- 2750 x 1199 = Rs. 3,297,250/=

Break down of the car price (based on the UK site):-

Base price for the Active trim = £24,170.00 / (Rs. 5,296,518)

Total car price with taxes:- Rs.8,593,768

Note that the above price is just for the base trim and it has no additional options.

Here agents will provide you the same trim + additional options for 9.9 Million + four years of free service/maintenance

But then again I see some ads on ###### for the above trim level going for 8.7 Million

DON'T KNOW WHO'S PROVIDING THE REASONABLE PRICE

We don't know Red Carpets.

Carm**t is well known for mismanagement. That is why they lost distributorship of many leading car makes over the years.

Overall picture is that their staff are less knowledgeable on what they do.

Well, I had a little chat with some of the salespersons and yes they don't have a thorough understanding of the models, trim levels, options, and their features. But it was decent enough to get a basic idea of a vehicle for a person who is a complete stranger to a specific model. And I have heard many stories of how they have screwed up the Mazda dealership with very bad customer experiences.

I think this situation is same even for agents like Colonial or Drive One (Audi). Lack of knowledge of the product they are selling is one of the fundamental mistakes they do and even not bother to resolve in future.

Overall it's a good deal with the free four years/80000KM of service/maintenance + materials and labor charges. But I still believe that they can go a bit lower on the prices.

You are exactly correct

Yes, Sales people don't know. Mechanics don't know best practices, Spare parts people do not know any thing. Completely inefficient.

Carm**t entertains these practices for decades. Somebody told me that family circle business like that. No discerning steps to go ahead with a business.

They have screwed up many premium brands.I do not know why? I hope that the reasons are mentioned above in 2nd row..

I want to how agents will handle the prevailing exchange rates. Do they cover the extra cost on their end or the customer has to bear the cost?

Only if they are a charity.

One of My friends recently placed an order for a 5008 with them, According to what I heard from him, the prices seem to be reasonable considering the prices of other vehicles offered in those segments. In fact he said its Value for money with the level of options etc. apparently the service levels also have improved now.

any idea what was the price and delivery time? With or without permit?

[Crosswind]

Does 3008 and 5008 come from France or China?

408 sold in Sri Lanka was Chinese made. Imported to Malaysia as CKDs and exported to few countries like Sri Lanka.

I did order a 3008. 5008 takes 3 months to deliver and 3008 takes 6 months (because of the high demand). That's what they have said.

[harshansenadhir]

5008 looks so appealing and the features. Still hard to believe they have improved their service levels. They usually support the latest models but when your model get pushed back by a few years, all the issues arise.
