Added on November 18, 2009, 2:57 pmBtw, I've booked my Forte 1.6SX today.
And got a pretty good deal.
Interested?
PM me and I will get the boss to call you.

Straight RM1000 cash discount.
Good eh...?

This is a dealer and what the salesman can't give us.
I've called almost every branches and dealers.

I was almost conned by another salesman.
he told me free insurance & road tax - deduct RM2300 from the OTR price.
but he said for 1st 30 bookings only.
when i asked for it he said no more liao.

Added on November 18, 2009, 3:45 pmHe told me no point getting the tint as promised by the SA as they can offer you good stuffs but tint lousy quality ones.
So, he terus said..how about I give you cash discount n u go get yr own tint.

Bro, as u know, Kia is forbidding their dealers to give any discounts whatsoever.
so, if u get me your details..i will get him to contact u.
and, for those who get the call from him..appreciate if u don't reveal the dealers name here.
we wanna keep the discount otherwise later Kia will stop it if they find out.

we are all interesting if able to get 1k discount...
wahaha! no need to be so secretive.. btw will PM my name and contact..
i think jimmy is interesting too...
but what about the delivery? i need the car ASAP..
if is more late than SA in puchong.. might stick with him then...

i haven't submit loan leh...
haha.. still can choose...
already PM my details.. hopefully the new SA really can give discount..
and will verify with them the color.. if black and white is solid.. than no choice lo go for tit. silver..
most easiest the maintain..

Added on November 18, 2009, 4:07 pmwahaha.. still even u already process loan...
1k discount still very attractive..  hehe

I'm also placed my booking already   but now my 'future father in law' also interested.... so a rebate of RM1k will be better than none, rite??

hi, can transfer booking from the branch to this dealer??? as RM1k really attractive.... btw, how much u all pay for booking?? i paid 1k as well.....

no.. not yet be there..
is good that i haven't submit my loan..
if 3.1% is real and 1k discount is there..
i'm good!! hahahaha

have any1 checks out the kia m'sia in fb? tat fella says white color is solid.. straight i call HQ and ask..

the best answer i ever had from HQ.. "err, i cant retrieve this from the system, can i call u back later?"
hahah.. funny.. and HQ even said all are CKD units... swt

btw, any of u know how to differentiate ckd and cbu?

not brave..
with that price and the spec..
after consideration of global reviews and feedback from sg owner...
this car is good to book for now (refundable too).. the chances of cancel the booking seems low...

thank you very much...
just trying to flood/post till v2 and create a new thread with all info inside..
hahahahaha!!!

yeap, my mood turns blue.. waiting someone to tell me whether white is metalic of solid...

HQ ppl said 2.0sx white color is metalic namely clear white..
but she cant confirm for 1.6

I also excited seeing u guys putting booking. hahahahaa
I am still thinking, Rondo (small MPV) vs Forte 2.0 (car). hahahahahaha

Added on November 18, 2009, 4:37 pmbut if the Forte is really as good as we have heard so far, then really worth to go for Forte.

it seems logic from ur analysis.. but kia malaysia facebook said that black and white are solid..
here's my doubt.. how can black color in solid paint.. i never seen in my like even once...
darn doubtful

think white is solid white leh...(unless differrent from sg.. but then sg offer full range of colors according to local sales..so think should be same all over... from korea..

happy buying...

oh just to update just done my 2nd service... getting smoother... but now thinking of going for some modding liao..hiaz..

i will discuss with min too about the no. plate WTF...
i will urge him to help me register the plate no. or i'll go jpj myself to get the no. first...
with the reason of "i'm holding my WTF plate and waiting for ur car to be deliver" maybe that will be the best reason to push SA faster for delivery..
day dreaming...

actually solid or not doesn't really matter coz i plan to PPS the car if i'm getting black or white...
cost quite high too for PPS.. heard that need about RM1500 - RM1800 for whole car...
i think alot of SG Owner did that to their lovely forte too...

friday.. let me check the meeting schedule first...
if got time than friday morning we can go jpj get the no..
but i'm noob on that.. just bring cash, IC and license? any document need to prepare by SA before we going?

PPS = Paint Protection System...
is like putting a coat into ur car color.. after u put PPS into ur car..
u don't even need to do waxing or polish in future...
the rain will slip easier.. ur car looks more shining too...
for more explanation click here~

big headache ah, Jimmy?
u already done the booking with Min?

anyone else want me to get the dealer to call u for the 1k discount?
then...we can all go pick up our Forte together.


btw, what u guys think of Metal Bronze?
nice?

Added on November 18, 2009, 7:26 pmanybody getting better rate than 3.5% for 9 years loan?
pls share...
TQ!

u paid cash? or cheque?

btw, what's the interest rate from your SA?

why Bank Islam?

huh?? so good??? mind to share how to get full loan??? as i been informed that if want full loan, u will need to submit loan for 1.6 full spec but get the low spec car..... how you do it??? if possible please share with us.... as nowadays economy not so good.... have the penny with us is better than none.....

saddened with the warranty period od 2 years and no ewp... guess i'll take back my deposit and  make it as a deposit for another car... guess no kia forte for me.

have read many reviews and planned to get road runner front grills for the car but sadly, only 2 years warranty...

no BK.. cost u approximate RM1500 for that.
1.6SX is the best for forte...
good spec with good price...
i think can forget about 2.0 and go for 1.6sx.. haha
this guy want more cash on hand!
eh.. the SA contacted me also.. saying RM1k is real...
tomorrow he'll come to look for me to proceed booking..
he also suggest me if want other bank.. process the loan together with his public bank wo..
in case can't get 3.1% also got public bank backup and get the car ASAP lo...
if i book 2.0.. he said i'm the first one in his Kia booking 2.0.. wahaha!
i feel so sorry for min.. but.. RM1k is enough for me to say sorry..

will ask for refund lo..
since is a cheque... as long as he didn't bank it.. just terminate the cheque will do.. .
but will notify him for sure la.. tell him another story lo like since my car is selling in hometown..
buy the car at home town also a good excuses what... wahaha..
