Really don’t know u guys stil living in which era PI.
I own one fr vincar. 5y warranty underwritten by India insurance. Authorised workshop auto sprint in leng kee. Claimed one steering rack in y2 or y3 at the recommendation of the workshop. Not a single cent. Got one recall by mfr- LTA sent email to me. I called back my sales rep and he did the rest to arrange the recall and checks.
Will I buy again fr PI? For jap cars without a doubt. For conti, it depends which marque and price gap vs AD. Indeed one scenario is because of perceptions, Mayb you buy cheaper but when u have to sell, u kena whacked back so end of the day no price advantage.
