800 is definately nice, simple and quick but sadly it doesn't offers features such as in an Audi Q7 :lol!:

VT

ah, c'mon man, we cant expect audi q7's features at the price of an m800:lol!:
but still by spending a lakh or 2 we can sure make it provide all the features provided by a Q7

just had the experience of my lifetime. i got chance to check out the car i love the most next to H2. thanks to abhi. the thing is a beast. gone totally crazy about after meeting the Q7. and best of all i got to drive it!! it was a dream come true for me. i have no words to express my feelings. pics coming soon.
thank you again abhi. you made my day..my month..my year..haha..

Great, You met abhi, But you guys should have updated us on the Meet thread!

It wasn't a planned meet. Bharat just sent me a PM informing me that he is in Mumbai and gave me his cell no. I called him and he told that he is in Nerul. And best of all, he was just some 100 metres away from my home. (World is sooo small..!) I met him. His good luck that Q7 was at home and I was relatively free. We spend just appx 30 mins together and then I had to rush to office for some work.

Regarding Q7, just today it is back from its 2nd service of 30000kms. This service costed us Rs. 25721/-

25k?
what all are included in it?

Will scan the copy of bill and post it soon.

25000 for a regular service.

I'm not sure, but i feel Rs. 25000 for every 15000kms is expensive but not very expensive, considering low volume and Audi badging.

Like Crazy Cat, Me too doesn't find the 25k for regular service of a Q7 to be a jaw lowering figure.
About the pics of meet, Please Post them in the meet section, I'll be waiting for them.

993 for washing? thats way too high man, why are we paying 1721 for then? it should include washing and polishing right?

The Filter price is reallly good considering it is a Q7 and that too a CBU

one word - outrageous, unless you convert that amount into dollars and VOILA! it's the standard cost of servicing in the US! 500dollars is not all that bad for a service. unfortunately, even if I could afford a car like the Q7, I'll probably foot the down payment on some real estate instead.

Post 2:
BTW what does a CBU have to do with fuel filter costs? are they importing a full unit just for the filter?

Mod Note: Please avoid multi-posting, use the EDIT button to modify your post within 15 minutes of posting. Thanks.

Um , i meant that being a CBU its parts are imported from their parent location ( Germany or elsewhere) rather than being made locally like most manufacturers do.
I guess even the Skoda's air filter costs this much?

If yes, then it is pretty good considering its a big SUV from Audi
