I booked a Honda Unicorn on January 20th, 2010 in Marikar Motors, Trivandrum. They told a waiting peroid of 3 months. The reason they said for this delay was that there was a worker's strike in HMSI maufacturing plant in Manesar, Haryana. I am always a great fan of Honda bikes. I agreed to wait for Unicorn since I loved it very much & I booked it by giving an advance of Rs 1000/-.
3 months passed away. I kept enquiring about my bike in the showroom daily. They kept telling that unicorn supply is very less, & asked me to wait for some more time. Days passed on & on. Then I came to know that a Businessman in the city bought a unicorn from Marikar Motors in BLACK. I mean from their Black marketing. Another incident happened. A guy in my college who booked unicorn on March 1st week got his bike in March 2nd week, just because of his dad's personal contacts with the Manager of Marikar motors.
My friends insisted me to cancel the booking & look for some other bike. My i didn't want to deviate from unicorn. Yesterday(24-5-2010), I visited the showroom to enquire about my unicorn. I saw a middle aged man scolding the manager (he was using very nice language) saying that he didnt get his Aviator which he booked before 5 months. I met the showroom guy. He told me to wait for another 2 months for my unicorn. I was truly astonished. He even told me to cancel the booking & wait for the new Dazzler, which he told a waiting of 3 months (The same dialogues when I went to book Unicorn).
Today (25-5-2010), with much pain & anger, I cancelled my Unicorn booking. They refunded the advance amount I paid.
