“The Great Indian Ather BUYBACK SCAM”
After multiple calls,emails and posts in this forum reminding them about Ather’s TRAP of Buyback, they have SCAMMED US…
The latest update by Ather team from JP Nagar is “Revised Checklist” and based on this they have reduced my original quote from 83,000 to 77,950
This is a 2 part SCAM from our beloved Ather.
In part 1 - They delay our visit to the showroom for Vehicle inspection and Valuation as March year end financial approvals would delay and processing the buyback amount would take 15 days and April happens, a perfect month to fool us. And with an All New & Revised Checklist for Buyback Valuation, they have reduced 7050 instead of 3000 based on their old Valuation Checklist.
Part 2 - “PRICE HIKE” All Ather variants undergo a hike. So for Apex price that I was quoted was 1,96,964 On Road. Now the latest price is 2,03,143, a hike of 6,179.
So my actual price difference for an Apex upgrade was 1,14,964 but NOW I have to shell out 1,25,193 an EXCESS of 10,229. All this happened within 7 days.
The best part was the employees who had contacted me were mum about the Price hike and Revision of Buyback Valuation process. They never gave hint, but vaguely told me about new price for Apex after March…
Now planning my next step to deal with these Scamsters… The final options Legal through a Consumer rights and Forum…
