A man in central Madhya Pradesh’s Satna district purchased a new Honda Activa scooty on Dhanteras by paying the entire amount in coins.
Rakesh Kumar Gupta brought 4 gunny bags filled with only 5 and 10 rupee coins to Krishna Honda showroom and rode home on his all-new Activa 125 BSVI.
It took four hours to count the whole payment by showroom’s three employees.
“On Dhanteras, Rakesh Gupta came to our showroom in an auto with several gunny bags. He expressed his desire to purchase a Honda Activa 125 BSVI. I talked to the showroom owner Ashish Puri who said that the counting of coins will take time. We did not want to disappoint anyone on Dhanteras, and so decided to fulfill his wish,” told showroom manager Anupam Mishra to a news agency.
Honda Motorcycles has recently launched the new Activa 125, which is now BS-VI emission norm compliant and has been priced at Rs 74,490 ex-showroom for the top-end disc brake variant.
