I for one have a hard time understanding setting up Mahindra dealerships before Mahindra had product. Getting US government approval is and has been a
Big Deal for some time. Getting it done has never been guaranteed.
The better the product the more money dealerships could be sold for and the more the product could be sold for. Mahindra failed to have all their ducks in a row. It seems a disservice to Mahindra, to the dealerships and to the customers. Maybe future dealerships will come on board at substantially higher costs, making the current dealerships feel like they got a fantastic bargain. Time will tell.
2010 Super Duties with the 6.4 diesel are available for 33 thousand and when the 2011 soon arrive may even go down more. All the delays may have some comparing the price of a Mahindra against that of a Super Duty.
