Hi,
All I am planning to buy Hero destini prime 125.
It is costing me Rs 85500 after adding everything (RTO+insurance+onroadd price + accessories)in Delhi.
I got to know that Flipkart is coming on sale from 3rd May 2024.

It looks like this time , they are also going to include RTO as well as option and price I feel may be lower.

Need your opinions on this guys , also I got reviews like scooter is good on overall basis.

@JD4444 it is offline only once you book from here , you have to choose the dealer near you for pickup.

Don't have the link of the post. But I remember I had read a post on desi dime about a user experience where he had mention that he had booked a bike or scooter through Flipkart and then he went to take the delivery dealer asked him for more money and then he had to escalate to Flipkart and it was a great hassle for him.

Users might review it as 'overall good', but Flipkart.
Flipkart or other marketplaces are known spots for dealers (sellers) to try to palm off previously repaired vehicles or ones known with minor or even major issues.

If something goes off, then one has to weigh in on whether it will be less hassle and overall favourable to go with on-line route or simply try one's luck directly with a dealer.

For example, here https://bikewale.com/hero-bikes/destini/reviews one sees even someone who purchased offline
claiming to have had issues and running pillar to post thereafter.

So not entirely writing-off on-line options, but being cautious is better.

Also, I feel (personal opinion only), that for a vehicle selling for so long, one has to double check from a larger sample size of user feedbacks if it is worth investing in older engine designs or if some tweaks or additions in recent years make some other newer variants a better choice.

I tried finding out feedback on pillion rider comfort for this or if this handles well on slushy roads
but could not find much.

Hi All,

Update on the above issue. I purchased the scooter today and also I bought acko insurance as an add for it.

Now the link which I received from flipkart to complete KYC is showing below error.

When I checked with acko , they are telling that they have not received payment from flipkart.

When I checked with flipkart they are telling to check with acko.

I would suggest you guys , not to purchase anything as an addon from flipkart.

I went to the dealer today , he has prepared the scooter , all documents everything but he will allow me to take vehicle only when insurance is completed.

I talked for 4-5 hours to acko and flipkart but I did not got any solution.

I need your suggestions , I am feeling extremely tired after all of this headache.
