Owners of discontinued cars

[praveensudhakaran]

Who are all here owning discontinued cars (by the company). I own a S Cross 1.6 which is a nice car but discontinued due to poor sales at the time. Similarly there are many good cars, but discontinued due to various reasons. Would like to have a thread on that topic.

I own a 02/2009 XYLO E8 model (since discontinued), the first one in the then combined AP State. Only last week, I got it's Registration Renewed for another 5 yrs. Luckily, Mahindra's service is too good. Very happy...

Had to sell off a 2005 Baleno (old discontinued model) at just ~10% of its cost to me. Brilliant car, but never got to use it much! It was pretty much a total write off for me.

I have 2014 chevy sail petrol. Safe, reliable, comfortable & cheap to maintain. When chevy left india, someone was offering me 1.5L. I asked what should I buy after selling it with 1.5L? 😂
Also had ford ecosport diesel which I sold off. Both great vehicles unappreciated by Indian public.

If ford comes back I'll get freestyle diesel.

I own a 1.6 L Skoda Fabia 2012 model first hand... Since it was the imported unit, the quality was fantastic but spares cost a bomb... Recently their was an electrical issue in dashboard and upon contacting workshop I was told that the part will be imported from Czech republic itself costing about 30k and the waiting time is atleast a month and then also no guarantee that error will be solved...
Sadly I sold off the car just now😞
