so many posts in 1 night... hahaha  rclxms.gif

say, after reading what bro bomberman post, on the units in port klang, something ran through my head all of a sudden.

naza / kia sales branches + dealers, should have about 70 to 80 nationwide. after launch, they will sure put the cbu units in their showroom right? + roadshows if they treat this as a BIG event.

let's say each showroom gets 3 to 4 cars each (including the test drive units), around 300 units will be gone like that. if what i hear from the SA is correct, 1st batch got 500 cars, then ma left 200 for us only?  rclxub.gif

that's why some of us have started booking, bro!
besides, nobody knows what's the variant between the 3 specs and 5 colours.

Added on November 19, 2009, 9:35 ameh, purchase from dealer wont get any after sales service meh? compare to HQ?

but i dont get it, whats the point of after sales service? thought if we need service, we can go to the service center straight away?
*
Did u ask the Dealer?
Maybe I'll check with him when I see him.
But usually, when u buy a car whether thru a dealer or branch..u just send to the service center, right?

Ya-lor..4.45pm @ KL Pavilion - sure kena jam teruk-teruk.
Btw, they have unveiled the Forte to the National Press yesterday.
Pictures in FB and hopefully can read on the papers soon enough..

1.6 (LX & SX)
- julz76 (SX - Cool White or Metal Bronze)

Hi, Bro,
2.0 power is better then civic... is a choice if you like to get ahead of others most of the time.. rem once my waja trying to catch up with a 2.0 forte.. but can only eat dust (am already on 110kmj) step up.. by the time i reach 150kmj the fella is already 10cars err maybe 20 away!!  cry.gif
only drawback i think is without sunroof? ayo...then.. not too sure liao wor..
Yup.. sg current price is 60.5K! (59k after disc) for SX... but this time with push button too!!!... haiz...  cry.gif
mentioned many times? no not at all underpower.. torque is v.v.good... but prob you'll want to forget about racing on it la (really need to rev hard for this) ... at FC cost.. you can still jump ahead on red lights most of the time... definately better then waja (auto to auto)
for FC wise.. 6.6l is the extreme... meaning 100% highway at 110kmh all the time i think..full tank could manage 600km for me.. (80 /20hc) but then i dun rev much and with super light foot on pedal too.. (minimal reachable for those scenario is 5.9l (test scenario hor..),  a/c off can lower abit..but unrealistic rite...haaa...) avg manage now is like 7.8l/100km..(really fantastic for this 1.25t car...)
*
yours no push button meh?
yours not 1.6SX?
wah..Singapore give 1500 discount ah?
so the good hor..

thanks for your feedback on the underpower debate.
i'm happy with your reply.
so, 1.6SX it will do just fine for me.
hahaha...

hmm... book 2.0 first...
then test drive... if in the end wanna go for 1.6...
loan amount can reduce easily mah.. if bank approved...
rather than asking bank to increase the loan amount...
book 2.0 white then apply PPS on it la...
*
btw, for the PPS, i heard from my friend that have to go for something like 're-polishing' every 3 months and it costs RM100++?
is it true..?

Got a reply from Naza guy on the 'underpower / gear ratio' issue:

Julian, Hyundai-Kia has 8000 R&D engineers. They will definitely provide the best gear ratios to match the weight of the cars. They test the cars a LOT at Namyang R&D, Mojave desert, etc. I forgot the total length of test roads, and numbers of different road surfaces but its really impressive.

We shall see what people have to feedback. I drove the 1.6 and 2.0. The 2.0L is definitely more powerful but I am very sure the guy who said it will "seriously under perform" is totally WRONG.

In any case customers have a choice. Those who are looking for MORE power can opt for the 2.0L.

u told the dealer?
that's what i told him too..
i think since we all group up to buy from him then we can add a bit more 'pressure' for the Kia emblem.
hahaha..

in order to avoid this to be happened.. mus make sure 1.6 lead the way.. and 2.0 at the back.. haha
i will be having clas at 2pm til 4pm.. after that i will annouce white color is solid or metalic.. as HQ ppl alr know me.. haha..
they will call me bac at 2pm.. coz now is lunch hour
since it is a metalic.. it wont easily turn into yellowish as compared to solid..
moreovermm pearl white itself is yellowish.. so.. it's totally differnet wif 2k clear white.

guys..got a text from brother ohmygod and he said HQ confirmed the Clear White is...
METALLIC!!! rclxm9.gif

guys, i forgot  to tell u that Kepong branch could offer 3.25% interest for 9 years.
if u interested, u can call mr demil at 0163321461. check it yourself.
he sms me last 2 days that promotion for this interest rate only valid for who books the car before 24th November 2009.

sadly, he sms me a bit late after i book with puchong branch and submit for loan.
*
i also spoke to him before..he told me their dealer branch give:
Deduction on Insurance & Roadtax @ RM2300;
free steering lock;
free 3 times servicing;
free insurance top-up for windscreen;
and free number of my choice.

When i wanted to sign-up for booking..he told me only 1st 30 booking.
then all 28 booking done left 2 - 1 for his boss relative and 1 for his own brother.
called him also dared not answer!

They have another branch in Bkt Tinggi Klang.
I spoke to another SA there and she didn't know any such deal.


Added on November 19, 2009, 2:31 pmThat's why i moved to the dealer who gave me the 1k discount like some of you brothers have gotten now.
At least this guy can commit what he gives..

well..to get the best deal..i called most dealers in Klang Valley.
hahaha...that's why i even called both Kepong n Bkt Tinggi dealers.
even drove to Jln Kapar branch to meet the SA who told me can give 2K discount from 83k (initial speculated price) to 81k.
when confirmed price is 81k he said cannot give discount.
hahaha...


Added on November 19, 2009, 2:41 pmuntil i finally got this current dealer who's giving 1k off.

thx bro, for posting up this news... jus got bac from clas..
dun really trust these people.. as naza itself is not giving any freebies or discount..
furthermore, i do not think that the commission that  SA get will be that much to cover what he gives u..
huh, u take WTF? im waiting WTH for no reason, simply dun like WTG
*
bro..WTH is still long way.
according to the dealer, if yr car is out but yr number is not..they will give others first.
so, i suggest u talk to him.
