8.5k was offered by a 2nd hand car trader if i buy Forte thru his recommendation.
to be honest, my car condition not so good.
my mechanic buddy says quickly dispose cos its a time-bomb waiting to happen..a major breakdown gonna happen.
that's why i quickly sell...phew.. sweat.gif

hahaha phelix that 2k discount given SA is a joke laaa.... he was saying 83k - 2k = 81k
that was before knowing the confirm price

now confirmed price is at @81,800... so i guess no SA will be able to give further discount except manager tongue.gif

ya-lah..i think that joker was planning a con job-lah.

btw, he's from Naza Kia Klang, Jln Kapar. vmad.gif

now, my latest freebie offer (from another Naza Kia branch) is:
50% safety tint from 3M (he said total RM800 so I pay only RM400);
Full tank fuel;
U guys think this is genuine???

Still waiting for him to get further freebies for me then I share with you guys...

i give up.. i just want the car deliver ASAP...
hahaha... as long as i drive out still have the "wow factor" feeling i'll treat it as my biggest freebie from SA...
i don't know.. i tried to call min but he didn't pick up my call...
however will have all my doc ready and go there to pass him and discuss about either 2.0 or 1.6..

if the tinted security film from 3M.. i believe RM800 is the money u need to top as we knew 3M film is expensive as V-KOOL.
*
well..this new fella i called told me usual price is RM1200 for 3M.
he claims he can get it for RM800 and I just need to pay 50%, RM400.

any news whether the emblem can be changed to Kia?

oh well i guess not much freebies other that those tinted voucher blah blah and petrol voucher etc etc lol
almost all the same one i believe
*
hahaha..ya-lah..i terus taruh him mah.
i some more told him off that I am bringing my friends to go book thru other SA.
conned him back lor...


Added on November 16, 2009, 3:24 pmbtw, what's you guys opinion on Peugeot 308?
compared to Altis 1.8cc @ 100k vs Pug308 1.6cc @ RM96k.

ahahahaha Min is at Melacca... he will be back tomorrow
when u wanna go there phelix?
erhmmm the tinted seems interesting.... only can get it from the SA? can we only get the tinting from him? whistling.gif
well, pug308 of course..... it looks awesome especially the panaromic roof
spare-parts is okay as you'll be getting the 3 years free labour programme thingy if its still available
but 2nd hand value wise of course toyota win hands down lorrr, if money & maintenance is not my concern den the 308 will be my choice...
just like why i picked forte tongue.gif hahah but forte of course cheaper lor maintenance also i believe, slightly expensive than japs

but 308 conti worrr hahah thumbup.gif of course have to deal with the maintenance
*
Panaromic Roof only for Turbo, right?
Not for 308VTi isn't it?
Well..i know 308 is the Beauty and the Beast all together.
It has the look and power!
Hahaha...

Besides, was told the maintenance is as high as a BMW 3-series.
So, overall..maintenance will kill us right as compared to Toyota?

P/S: This SA won't give the tinting unless u get the car from him i think.

Guys, read this reply from a key personnel from Kia Malaysia:

Join the official Kia fan page for Malaysia at http://www.facebook.com/kiamalaysia

The warranty has yet to be announced and I believe it should be on par with Japanese. The new gen Kias - Rondo, Optima, Sportage and Spectra5 have been running around for the past 2-3 years, with HEAVY usage of the lower grade Optimas as taxis without any reported warranty issues.

The powertrain itself is bulletproof enough for Chrysler, Jeep (Compass) and Mitsubishi (Lancer GT) to use (under licence from Hyundai-Kia). Check out the official 'Kia Malaysia' fan page above.

IMHO not just the warranty is important, my purchase considerations would include DQR:

- DRIVABILITY
- QUALITY
- RELIABILITY

Some Japanese makes are having huge issues with prematurely worn out rear brake pads, body noise, warped brake rotors, cracked cylinder heads, etc. They keep coming back but there's often no solution. I think Kia is, as the UK slogan went, 'The Thinking Customer's choice'. Long warranty might be comforting but, in the long run it might be like putting a bandage on your knee for a headache. Better to have a rock-solid product in the first place.

Looking at the track record of the new Kias (2006-onwards), I'm very confident. Cumulatively, through the first ten months of 2009, Kia’s global sales have increased by 13.9% year-on-year and reached 1,336,378 units!!

Straight RM1000 cash discount.

thumbup.gif
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.
vmad.gif


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.

this is what we call 'fleet' purchase a.k.a. group purchase that's why managed to get some token discount.
don't think the price will drop cos in Spore the price went up!
and, this has been confirmed by Naza insider.

i saw Spore website and the 1.6SX is Sing-Dollar 60k plus???
can someone confirm this..?
