37.4K Views Follow Question Add Answer136 AnswersShruti | 3 years ago@ Onkar | Kia Shreenath Malad(Mumbai).Dealer has not yet asked to buy higher variant.
Same i booked at the same place on oct 22nd.. I booked GTX DCt petrol variant. I was assured delivery on 16th December 2020 but as of today 4th Feb 2021 they have nothing to say and yet if you call as a new customer they assure you 8 -10 weeks delivery. Is there noone who can give a more clear picture of wth is going on? And if this is whats happening before even getting the car I wonder what kind of service they will proved after sales.. im so conflicted .. whether to wait or move on.Do we as customers don't deserve even a proper reply? Can kia not even be bothered to explain the delay and the tentative date or time line for us to expect rather than people who have paid hard earned money in advance to need to keep visiting their showroom for a reply only to return home even more confused and disappointed?
Rajesh | 3 years agoI booked a Sonet Turbo DCT very happily on 10 oct 2020, salesman committed lead time was 3 to 4 wks. And then getting daily updates .. its allocated.. its in transit.. its going to be thr next week..... (beleiving tht i sold my existing car off)... but, as of today 14 Jan 2021.. i ve no update when the 'next week' will come.. And as you all guys may have done.. sent VOC mail to KIA customer service... usual reply 'we apologize for delay.. you ll get your car soon' .. but, still don't know .. when tht 'soon' will come..If anyone can suggest some astrologers.. it ll be highly appreciated.(BTB... i went on to buy a new i10.. by last of week of Dec... ultimately, there is a limit to take the wrath from spouse :) )
Praveen | 3 years agoI have booked Kia Sonet HTX+, Diesel, dual Tone (Red & Black) on 22.09.2020 r with Rajesh Motors, Ajmer Road, at Jaipur. At the time of booking, I was assured for a delivery within 6-7 weeks of period. After 87 days of booking, no one has ready to a satisfactory reply of such delay. Contacted their call Centre, mailed at k******s@kiamotorsindia.in and also their higher offices but all were found busy in booking only saying again a lie for assured delivery in the committed waiting period. No RTI is applicable on these lairs. PMO also can do nothing on such companies. For someone a vehicle may be a luxury but for me its a need for day to day life. Really, I am tired of waiting with nuisance reply from KIA/dealer
Ankur | 3 years ago@ Ramdevswitchgear | Bc very bad service from advitha kia They make us to come show room 3times a week... After payment today is 5th day but we dint get the car What colour we had choose that was changed saying tht it wil take one more month to dilveryNo call response properlyIll never suggest any one to take kia that to from advitha kia
It’s everywhere in Kia showrooms. Pathetic service! They don’t value customers at all. I was supposed to get my car in the 1st week of December as per the given waiting period. They told me that delivery will take one more month. I patiently said ok, I’ll wait. Now I got a news that there will be a price hike in January and it will also be applicable for the previous bookings which will be delivered late as expected in 2021 (late as Kia’s fault). It’s so pathetic!! Like, we have to bear the extra waiting period and now we will be charged with extra 15-25k+. We are wasting our time and money. Kia is trying to make us fool here. I’m seriously thinking of cancelling my booking.
Dr | 3 years agoI made booking of Kia Sonet HTX plus IMT DT on 30 Dec 2020 at Jayanti motors, Lajpat Nagar, Delhi. Sales man assured 6-7 weeks. I called after 8 weeks but no satisfactory response, it’s 10 weeks over ( 10 March) but no allocation has been done . They didn’t inform anything to me. Then I started calling up leader, sales incharge, showroom incharge. But no satisfactory answer and no clue when can I have my car. In the anticipation I sold my car at 8th weeks. I booked car to avail LTC cash voucher scheme by at the end of the day I have no car , I lost my govt scheme benifit and unfortunately sold my old car too. It’s hopeless dealing of Kia and it’s dealer.
Sudhanshu | 3 years agoI have booked Kia sonet HTX+ IN 15 OCTOBER 2020 IN KOTA ,I was assured for a delivery within 6-7 weeks of period. After 87 days of booking, no one has ready to a satisfactory reply of such delay. Contacted their call Centre, mailed at k******s@kiamotorsindia.in and also their higher offices but all were found busy in booking only saying again a lie for assured delivery in the committed waiting period.

Harshvardhan | 2 years agoBooked a Kia Sonet GTX Plus Turbo DCT in Oct, 2021. I requested the salesperson at the dealership to give me the car by Mid-Jan (to be precise on 19th Jan, the date coinciding with my mother's b'day, being the one for whom we were buying the car). The salesperson 'yes, yes sir ... no issues' & we sealed the deal. Anyway, long story short, i call around new year, to ask for confirmation of delivery and other payment related formalities, so they tell me we can't give you the car this month. Reasons being offered :-1. 'Your color, & model variant is the only one in demand.'2. 'Your car requires 2x chips vs a manual which requires x.'Hahahahhahaha, so just today, i offered to cancel the booking owing to the shady and dealing-in-bad-faith policy of my showroom. Besharam salesperson hasn't even bothered to act scared !! Like they say on the streets 'Zindagi Jhandwa Phir bhi Ghamandwa' The cars are attractive but the koreans need to teach their sales network a thing or two about transparency, integrity and open communication.
Aryan | 3 years agoI have been booked sonet htx model on 22 Oct....the dealer gave me delivery period btw 6 to 8 weeks ....I have called a dealer they were ignoring.....after a while I have called again they din't gave any response......after sometime when 6 months were completed...i've called again and I ask when will my car will delivered they told me that it will take 3 to 4 weeks again more not exact but some time more....... this is how Kia's dealer are making excuses....... After this I was very angry...and very disappointed from Kia motors......
Ankur | 3 years agoPeople who are looking to buy Kia cars, I want to suggest you one thing. Please avoid booking any Kia car at least for few more months. Most of us here have crossed our waiting periods long back and still didn’t get our cars. This is a pathetic service just before the car delivery and now I don’t even want to imagine the service post delivery. You better go with Nexon or any other car or wait for few more months till Kia’s sale drops. Otherwise get ready to get disappointed and frustrated!!!

You are right. I booked Sonet HTX 1.5D on 27th Sep.2020.in SVM KIa, Chennai. Dealer assured me 6-8 weeks for delivery. But still there is no proper feedback on delivery from Dealer. Only one answer we are waiting from Factory. I really fed up. I think Kia is making intentionally delay to apply the new rates. This is very very bad experience with Kia. They have say clearly that we cannot make delivery. So that we can go for some other car. Now every car have rate increase. Did Kia will compensate additional cost ?
Rahat | 4 years agoKia is very smartly upselling, dealers book the variants of customer choice but after promised delivery time they push the customer to buy GT line or htx+ which are really highly priced Dealerships give illogical replies that plant is sending only top end variants many customers accepts the offer also surprisingly some have upgraded to even Seltos dealership and kia both are enjoying great profits and the customers are at recieving end bearing harassment
Shylendh | 3 years agoI have booked htk+ petrol 1.2 black color on 13th of October and still no positive response from Kia kochi showroom. They told me that I can expect in 2 months but when I tried doing a followup they said its not yet allocated ..I guess kia is giving fake promises to customer and just trying to meet their booking targets. If I don't hear from them I am going to back off and would go for nexon or EcoSport. Really disappointed.
Arun | 3 years agoPlease expect long delays. I had pre-booked on August 28th with a delivery promise of September end and now even on December 1st, I don't have an update on delivery date. Neither kia india nor the dealer is responding properly on calls or emails. What is surprising is that this is happening after booking Diesel GTX+ DT variant which is said to be having the least delay in delivery.
CT | 3 years agoBooked a sonet1.2 petrol HTK+ on 28th feb at Kun Kia at chennai with a tentative delivery period of 16 weeks. But even after 25 weeks still following with them and there is no commitment or confirmation. Fed up with Kia sales network as they are beyond reach. don't go for sonet even though everyone says its a good car. But what is the fun in having Aiswarya when you are getting old
Thunder | 3 years agoI booked HTX in Hyderabad. I am visiting showroom almost every day. It is close to my home. The dealer says they are getting less number of vehicles. HTX and HTX+ are in demand and plant is not sending those vehicle. They offered me other colors. The dealer says now that, manufacturing will be stopped in the month of December. I will get the vehicle in 2021:(
Ramdevswitchgear | 3 years agoBc very bad service from advitha kia They make us to come show room 3times a week... After payment today is 5th day but we dint get the car What colour we had choose that was changed saying tht it wil take one more month to dilveryNo call response properlyIll never suggest any one to take kia that to from advitha kia
Preetesh | 3 years agoVery pathetic service by kia. I booked my sonet htx diesel on 2nd of november.And today I received a mail stating that the delivery of car may take 7 more weeks.And whenever I call my dealer he assure the delivery within 10 days.I am really tired of waiting..All the excitement of purchasing a new car have gone away.
Pratap | 3 years ago@ Suyash | Nothing is working - even after raising complaints to kia motors. They are saying because of complaint we can not do anything. Then what is a point of sending email these fellas
I did the same by writing to Kia as Dealer has no clue when it gets delivered. Kia simply routed my mial to Dealer again whihc is the most funniest part. again Dealer had comeup with same answer 'We will share the update when we have something'. B******t Guys blood boiling situation with these responses
Vinod | 3 years agoI booked a Sonet HTX 1.5 MT at 15 Jan 2021, Show room committed 15 to 16 weeks and then they say 2 to 4 weeks delay due to lock down , and now situation is that the Dealer not confirmed when it delivered... But now 15 July over and still I will waiting my car.. Now they says you r car delivered in Sep 21 almost 8 months
Sandy | 3 years agoI would rather prefer to But ecosport then kia sonet.I had booked my car Sonet HTX diesel in the month of october and was promised to deliver by first week of december but didnot get it.Recent news came from the dealer saying you vehicle will be delivered next year 2021 (Jan).These people are pathetic.
Sandy | 3 years ago@ Ankur | It’s everywhere in Kia showrooms. Pathetic service! They don’t value customers at all.

I’m seriously thinking of cancelling my booking.
Same thing happened to me.I have booked in the month of Oct and was promised to delivery first week of december now they are asking me to wait for one month to get the 2021 vehicle.Service and customer support is not up to the mark,Even i am thinking to cancel and book ecosport next year
Rakesh | 3 years agoI had booked my Car on July 03- 2021 assuring Delivery by End of the month July 2021 itself , which excited me and my family to book the car without any delay, But as a late known fact here aim waiting for delivery on Sep 07th 2021. Their was no follow up from till date, I had stepped into KIA showroom multiple times , kia Gachibowli showroom ,Gopi -7997858881 see a pathetic answer - WE DON'T KNOW - WE have no information, we have to wait.
Giriraj | 3 years ago@ Ankur | People who are looking to buy Kia cars, I want to suggest you one thing. Please avoid booking any Kia car at least for few more months.

Sorry sir, I don't think Tata is doing well too, because I booked Tata Nexon XE on sept 22 2020, they said the car will be there on diwali, but even after 2 months they didn't give proper response, so I cancelled it. Then I went to kia moters and it is happening again with me.

I am having the same experience with SVM Kia. Booked car on 6th Jan... committed time 6-7 weeks from the dealer... Kia call center guys were saying minimum waiting period is 14-15 weeks... decided to go with Nexon and booked the car... pls don't go with Kia...
Dillip | 4 years agoKia has started delivering Sonet to its customers according to their bookings. The waiting period may vary depending on your city, so we would request you please connect with the nearest authorized dealership. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership details.
Ravikant | 3 years agoIt has been two months but still no response, no any clarity. Kia can't handle things properly. So my request would be if you are planning to book Kia, then book only if you think you needs car after 3-4 months, not before that. Else go for other companies
Dawa | 3 years agoI have booked GTX+ diesel Manual from kayson dealership at Siliguri West Bengal on 19th of October, yet there is no sign of delivery, they don't even respond to queries.. they don't give a proper answer when called... I am sick and tired of waiting....
Sheba | 2 years agoI booked htx dct model on 1st Sept 2021in Lucknow. Initially I was told that I will get the delivery by end Nov. because of which I sold my previous car. I then got a mail saying that the waiting period has been increased to 28-29 weeks. Its the 11th of March today and I have no response from the dealers. They say nothing as to how long do we have to wait. They keep telling me to take the IMT model, which I don’t want.
Rahat | 3 years ago@ Sameer | This is very true. Same experience with me. After booking HTX variant last month, the dealership now says the waiting period is upto 12 weeks. They are asking me to opt for top end varients which is available within few weeks.
Won't be surprised if next year they will announce aprice hike for HTX or some other base and middle variants, have a gut that brand strategy is to sell as many top end variants and then increase the price next year of rest of some variants
Prabhavathy | 2 years agoPlease guys don't buy any Vehicle from kia. Very worst customer service. I booked sonet on aug 3 2021. Till now there is no response from their side. At first they assured within 3 months they delivered a car.. but they won't. They gave only false hope. whenever we talk, they told it will come within a week. But 6 months gone nothing will happen. Really too too bad. So please go with some other brand. Goodluck
RAKESH | 3 years agoI have booked sonet htx+ on 2nd November. They gave a waiting period of 6-7 weeks. Now even after waiting period they won't deliver in the near future. Now they will deliver in February with a price hike. Kia is really pathetic. Better CANCEL the booking while you still have time.
Adarsh | 3 years agoRightly pointed out... What exactly is the problem with Kia people I don't understand.. They are keeping customers under dark shade n don't revealing the real truth.... May be some ill intentions behind this created situation..
Sameer | 4 years ago@ Rahat | Kia is very smartly upselling, dealers book the variants of customer choice but after promised delivery time they push the customer to buy GT line or htx+ which are really highly priced Dealerships give illogical replies that plant is sending only top end variants many customers accepts the offer also surprisingly some have upgraded to even Seltos dealership and kia both are enjoying great profits and the customers are at recieving end bearing harassment

Very Pathetic situation, I booked on November & sold my my old swift car on dec by guessing waiting period end by Jan Mid. As on today no vehicle allocation by Kia, no response from dealer too. kia care wont respond at all.
Yasir | 3 years agoI booked kia sonet htk plus on 14th December they give me 3 months waiting period but now it's my 7th month and now they are saying that you have to wait 1 more month but then also they are not sure that they can surely deliver my car,
Preetesh | 3 years ago@ meet | No. Everytime they have a new expected date. But the vehicle doesn't come. I'm tired of waiting. Also the vehicle is really needed at home now.
I understand your problem...but I think even the dealer don't know about the exact date..I am going to visit my dealer in next few days.I will try to know about delivering process ..maybe then we would know the exact date
Meet | 3 years agoI really don't understand what the issue is. I booked sonet htx diesel black on Nov 2, 2020 and as of today 8th Feb, 21 I've not received the delivery. Everytime I get the same answer that kia has not send it in black.
Vijai | 3 years agoHI EVERY ONE ..I TOO HAD A BAD EXPERIENCE WITH KIA MOTORS LB NAGAR. I BOOKED MY VEHICLE ON 1ST OCT. NOT YET RECEIVED .....AS MY THOUGHT CAN WE PROCEED LEGALLY....SO THAT AT LEAST THEY CAN NOT DO THE SAME WITH OTHERS...
Abhinav | 3 years agoKia should not take bookings….one thing company need to understand that every thing is not getting order they should fulfil the order also which kia is not able to do it… they are taking token money and using customers money at least for 3-4 months in their own account. Company fron fraud county ll do fraud to others…
Nikunj | 3 years ago@ Avtar | Is it Nagole branch? I have booked mine for October 17 and still didn't received it. Now they promised for December 10-15, hopefully will get it (0nly 1% chance I expect after reading many reviews)
Did you got the car ? I too booked HTX Model from Kondapur branch on 9th October and they promised yesterday to deliver me today i.e. 21st Dec but today morning they said it will be further delayed by 4 weeks.
Srinivas | 3 years agoI have pre booked KIA Sonet GTX+ Diesel MT on Sept 13th in Hyderabad. Till date not delivered yet and there is no concrete answer from Dealer when will it be delivered. He is forcing to take AT version.
Avtar | 3 years ago@ Thunder | I booked HTX in Hyderabad. I am visiting showroom almost every day. It is close to my home. The dealer says they are getting less number of vehicles.

Abhijeet | 3 years agoBooked the HTK + Petrol on 30-Nov 2020 with a promised deliver in 8 weeks - Today on 2nd Feb Still no one knows where the car is and the dealer is completely in dark about the dispatch schedule..

Ankur | 3 years ago@ Shylendh | I have booked htk+ petrol 1.2 black color on 13th of October and still no positive response from Kia kochi showroom.

Same here!! And now they will charge us for the price hike even though we are supposed to get the car in 2020. Feels like I wasted 2 months and Nexon would have been much better.

Nothing is working - even after raising complaints to kia motors. They are saying because of complaint we can not do anything. Then what is a point of sending email these fellas

Same case, I have booked same model on 4th Oct2020 and still just given false hope that it will come sooner but not later than 15th Dec2020. Let's hope for the best.
Vaibhav | 2 years agoEverywhere for Kia it is the same situation. They guarantee so.e waiting period and the waiting period keeps on extending. Why Kia says that they have added more production capacity at their Anant our plant ? Actually the picture is bleak about the delivery of vehicles.
Viswanath | 2 years agoIn 2022 as well there is no change.. No communication from the Dealership. Promised to give in 6 months but when asked I am being told that there is no confirmation for next 1 month as well. Horrible response.. Sad that so picked this car and dealership
Rahat | 3 years ago@ Onkar | I had booked Sonet HTK 1.2 Petrol on 18th September and I still have no update. It's 10th week and model is still not even allocated to me.

I have booked htx diesel on Oct 1st at Kukatpally and not received yet. I think all the buyers should protest or move legally.
Onkar | 3 years ago@ Madhav | @Onkar did you get the delivery ?
No.It's not even allocated to me.I reached out to Kia customer care last week.Kia customer care could not give any estimated date.
DARK | 3 years agoSame worst experience with kia motors,, without any pre manufacturing planning company jump in market,and customer is suffeer.
Vamsi | 3 years agoDon't go for kia , sonet they just tell lies for bookings 6 to 7 weeks after 90 days also they are not delivering
Ajaypal | 3 years agoVery bad dealer response and no delivery, The question is why they are initially booking it by saying 8-10 weeks.
Preetesh | 3 years ago@ meet | I really don't understand what the issue is. I booked sonet htx diesel black on Nov 2, 2020 and as of today 8th Feb, 21 I've not received the delivery. Everytime I get the same answer that kia has not send it in black.
On the same date 2nov..I booked htx diesel grey...I am also getting the same reply that grey is not available..
Pratap | 3 years ago@ Preetesh | Very pathetic service by kia. I booked my sonet htx diesel on 2nd of november.And today I received a mail stating that the delivery of car may take 7 more weeks.And whenever I call my dealer he assure the delivery within 10 days.I am really tired of waiting..All the excitement of purchasing a new car have gone away.

Vedant | 4 years agoKia dealership says it takes up to 2 months to deliver the vehicle after booking due to high demand of the vehicle.
Joel | 2 years ago@ Rajesh | I booked a Sonet Turbo DCT very happily on 10 oct 2020, salesman committed lead time was 3 to 4 wks.

And as you all guys may have done.. sent VOC mail to KIA customer service... usual reply 'we apologize for delay.. you ll get your car soon' .. but, still don't know .. when tht 'soon' will come..If anyone can suggest some astrologers.. it ll be highly appreciated.(BTB... i went on to buy a new i10.. by last of week of Dec... ultimately, there is a limit to take the wrath from spouse :) )
Lol..crazy experience you had from both the sides. Same here too, for some interesting reason both start with ‘S’ lemme know if you have got any astrologer..I need him currently
Venkata | 4 years agoAs Kunal said it depends on color and variant. Black is more in demand, white has least.
Shadrach | 2 years agoWe booked Kia sonet petrol auto in December 2021 in Chennai. No response till date. Dealer comes up with fantastic stories every time. Now, they don’t even pick up calls
Prateek | 2 years agoI booked Kia SONET HTX version in June'2021 and it's currently Jan 2022 and still I am waiting. Even after multiple escalation they don't have an answer. Highly frustrated
Sharad | 4 years agoI had booked htx in lucknow. Dealer is saying that, you will have 3 to 4 months waiting period
Sharad | 4 years agoI had booked htx in lucknow. Dealer is saying that, you will have 3 to 4 months waiting period
Sri | 3 years ago@ Sameer | This is very true. Same experience with me. After booking HTX variant last month, the dealership now says the waiting period is upto 12 weeks. They are asking me to opt for top end varients which is available within few weeks.
I do accept, it has been 2 months for me in Hyderbad . No confirmation on delivery yet
Venkata | 4 years agoIt depends on color and variant. Black has highest demand and white least.

It's not a fault of Kia Motors. it's a dealer mistake 100% who has taken frenchise.
Arun | 3 years ago@ Madhav | @Onkar did you get the delivery ?
Same here. Even factory allotment is not done even after pre-booking GTX+ on aug 28.
Pratap | 3 years ago@ meet | I really don't understand what the issue is. I booked sonet htx diesel black on Nov 2, 2020 and as of today 8th Feb, 21 I've not received the delivery. Everytime I get the same answer that kia has not send it in black.
One of my friend who booked HTX diesel on Nov4, got his vehicle delivered on Feb15
Nikunj | 3 years ago@ Thunder | I booked HTX in Hyderabad. I am visiting showroom almost every day. It is close to my home. The dealer says they are getting less number of vehicles. HTX and HTX+ are in demand and plant is not sending those vehicle. They offered me other colors. The dealer says now that, manufacturing will be stopped in the month of December. I will get the vehicle in 2021:(
Which showroom did you booked your car in Hyderabad ? Kondapur one or Nagole one ?
Sharad | 4 years agoSame happened with me. They are saying that htx will have 12 weeks waiting period.
Anjum | 3 years ago@ Ankur | It’s everywhere in Kia showrooms. Pathetic service! They don’t value customers at all. I was supposed to get my car in the 1st week of December as per the given waiting period. They told me that delivery will take one more month. I patiently said ok, I’ll wait. Now I got a news that there will be a price hike in January and it will also be applicable for the previous bookings which will be delivered late as expected in 2021 (late as Kia’s fault). It’s so pathetic!! Like, we have to bear the extra waiting period and now we will be charged with extra 15-25k+. We are wasting our time and money. Kia is trying to make us fool here. I’m seriously thinking of cancelling my booking.

Anjum | 3 years ago@ Rajesh | I booked a Sonet Turbo DCT very happily on 10 oct 2020, salesman committed lead time was 3 to 4 wks. And then getting daily updates .. its allocated.. its in transit.. its going to be thr next week..... (beleiving tht i sold my existing car off)... but, as of today 14 Jan 2021.. i ve no update when the 'next week' will come.. And as you all guys may have done.. sent VOC mail to KIA customer service... usual reply 'we apologize for delay.. you ll get your car soon' .. but, still don't know .. when tht 'soon' will come..If anyone can suggest some astrologers.. it ll be highly appreciated.(BTB... i went on to buy a new i10.. by last of week of Dec... ultimately, there is a limit to take the wrath from spouse :) )

Rahul | 3 years ago@ Praveen | I have booked Kia Sonet HTX+, Diesel, dual Tone (Red & Black) on 22.09.2020 r with Rajesh Motors, Ajmer Road, at Jaipur. At the time of booking, I was assured for a delivery within 6-7 weeks of period. After 87 days of booking, no one has ready to a satisfactory reply of such delay. Contacted their call Centre, mailed at k******s@kiamotorsindia.in and also their higher offices but all were found busy in booking only saying again a lie for assured delivery in the committed waiting period. No RTI is applicable on these lairs. PMO also can do nothing on such companies. For someone a vehicle may be a luxury but for me its a need for day to day life. Really, I am tired of waiting with nuisance reply from KIA/dealer
Go to consumer court and file a case against kia and dealer

Hari | 3 years ago@ Sibaprasad | You are right. I booked Sonet HTX 1.5D on 27th Sep.2020.in SVM KIa, Chennai. Dealer assured me 6-8 weeks for delivery. But still there is no proper feedback on delivery from Dealer. Only one answer we are waiting from Factory. I really fed up. I think Kia is making intentionally delay to apply the new rates. This is very very bad experience with Kia. They have say clearly that we cannot make delivery. So that we can go for some other car. Now every car have rate increase. Did Kia will compensate additional cost ?
Did you got the car delivered

Isn't it magical
Saugata | 3 years ago@ Dr | I made booking of Kia Sonet HTX plus IMT DT on 30 Dec 2020 at Jayanti motors, Lajpat Nagar, Delhi. Sales man assured 6-7 weeks. I called after 8 weeks but no satisfactory response, it’s 10 weeks over ( 10 March) but no allocation has been done . They didn’t inform anything to me. Then I started calling up leader, sales incharge, showroom incharge. But no satisfactory answer and no clue when can I have my car. In the anticipation I sold my car at 8th weeks. I booked car to avail LTC cash voucher scheme by at the end of the day I have no car , I lost my govt scheme benifit and unfortunately sold my old car too. It’s hopeless dealing of Kia and it’s dealer.
When did you finally get the car?
