Hi, dude. We booked mahindra xuv500 w8 costed us 18+lakhs. Will deliver in next month. My suggestion is sell your vento as soon as possible because many people not buy 1lakh kms vehicle in that it's a Volkswagen. Commonly many people bot buy 1lakh kms crossed vehicle expect swift and innova. If you want a good price sell it right now and book xuv500. If you sell you vento after 1 lakh kms it will go for peanuts price.
We booked white colour 4/4 version. But boot space is nil. Especially in our Hyderabad vehicle resale value is very low.

Congrats for booking XUV.Its indeed a nice car.Cant sell Vento ASAP because we have to arrange the cash and finance.Now,present odo is 78215 Km as of now.Did 135 Km within city including airport run.But,heart says keep Vento buy a Petrol car as a second car like Elite i20(Love the looks) as my running is lesser than 1000 Km and head says sell Vento and get something better like XUV or Innova or City.

Yeah it's a scooter.I have a driving experience since last 1.5 years under my mother's name.And,this would be my first scooter ever as we didn't buy anything till now.For scooter thread,there is a dedicated thread in Bike shopper section.

BTW,once again congratulations for buying XUV once again.Present on road of XUV W10 in Hyderabad is ₹18L,W8 is ₹17L and W6 is ₹15L.Why didn't you book Innova?It is reliable and its Toyota.We used to have an Innova but sold it since we bought Vento.Present pricing of GX is ₹16L,VX is ₹18.5L and Z is ₹19.5L.

Ohk, i forgot we booked w10 version dude. I forgot w10 because last generation xuv500 was w8 topend. Which scooter are you buying? Why don't you buy a bike? Yeah innova we tried bro but we didn't liked it. As it's 103 bhp only and nvh is very high post 100kmph. Rpm level was at 3000!!!! Nvh is high. I was shocked it's at 3000rpm. Redline is 4000rpm only. So we can only touch 150-160 last. As speedometer shows 180 but it's faulty speedometer am checked with gps it's showing 155kmph. And have lesser features than xuv500 no 4wheel drive no sunroof etc etc. At 100 kmph xuv rpm was 1800 only. It's very relaxed and it has 6th gear too. These many features for 18 lakhs??? Yeah it's very vfm car. Coming to reliability now any modern engine's can last 3 lakh kms easily without overhaul if maintained well. As our fiat linea now at 120k kms without any problems my bill also never increased 20k. Xuv can touch 190 easily and acceleration is also very good for suv innova touches 100kmph at 17 seconds!!!! Xuv in 11.5 seconds!!!! Forgot to tell we have 2012 innova in our family it's my uncle car. Dude go for cb trigger instead of scooter vespa. I have cb trigger and cbr250r. I will use trigger for city and highway cbr250r.

Update-Car is crunching less Kms as our driver left the job due to personal reasons because my father was carpooling in a BMW 530D and my mom left for US for few days and she will be back by this 25th.Whenever she uses the Vento and father takes an auto I always pester my father 'still why are you not buying a second car'.He says 'we'll buy soon' and whenever I ask him the same question he says the same answer and I ask him 'when?'He says we are buying it soon.I'm quite frustrated with answers given by him.

Hi Music_Swift. After quiet a long well am reading your thread and its been beautifully updated buddy. Great to see your Vento doing great buddy. By the way mine has finished 50000 kms in 2 and a half years. Absolutely no issues except for one that is the juddering I get when I apply the brakes. Guess again the pads and rotors have given up. At 32000 kms I have replaced my pads and rotors and after 18000 kms the problem is again back. Can't believe that the rotor life is very poor. Can you suggest me an idea. For your next car, I would suggest you a VW Polo GT TSi. Its a beautiful car and its a VW[:D].

Manish-Yeah I always say the same but he says the same answer.

Aniruthan-Welcome back after a long time and nice to see that your Vento has completed 50K Km.Regarding our new car purchase there is a dedicated thread in car shopper section.When my driver left the job almost a month ago,my father is finding difficult to drive the car due to lack of driver.So,I have suggested to buy an AT car which is easy for him.

Shocking news!!

Now comes the shocker.My father has decided to sell the Vento for XUV due to expensive maintenance.Already got a buyer and willing to buy Vento for ₹7L.
