I've been trying to buy a new Mahindra for about 6 months now, but keep striking out. I started out last fall with an order for a 3650 HST ROPS TLB, and after 3 months of silence the dealer heard back that the whole line was being discontinued (thread with more details about my plans here).
In January, I switched the order to a 2660 HST ROPS TLB, and was told the tractor was ready to ship but the backhoe might take a few weeks. Since then I've been told month-by-month that they can't make any guarantees, but I'll probably have it in a month. Finally yesterday the dealer sent me an email saying that Mahindra has told him that there is a "Stop Sale" on all new 2660's and 2670's "until they resolve an issue with them". In his words "They were not able to provide me with any information on what the issue was or when it will be resolved at this time." My impression is that dealer is as frustrated with Mahindra as I am, and at this point would very happy to cancel the order and return my deposit.
Do any of you know anything about this "stop sale" and what it might be about? I've got a back log of projects I was hoping to have done by now, and I'm trying to figure out whether I should continue to wait this out or research other brands and options.
Thanks!
