I think u can try ask other sales man if the one u ask nvr give any discount or freebies.........    

like i said, honda itself they dun give freebies/discount one, the only way u can get rebate/freebies is from the commission of the SA....they earned around rm1k at least by selling u the car if i am not wrong, plus commission for ur bank loan i think.

so if u are good, u can squeeze all from their commission.... : : shock:

i'm not aware of this problem, what is the actual problem? i only see your post now, didnt get to ask the SA when i order the car just now.

Haha!! Seems like you are very eager to get your hands on your NHC.  Rest assured it's a good car. I like HONDAs. However, fuel consumption wise is a little let down. It's average only & I am not a heavy footer.

Only 1k ah?? Then the rebate/freebies also not much ler....sure less than 500   
But I read in this thread got forumers get 3 to 4k rebate 1?? How they do it?
Yesterday got honda roadshow here,I ask the SA,and he say don't know cannot give by him,need discuss with manager   : shock:: shock:

this problem (or maybe not a problem, I dont know..) klik here for the link to the honda city facebook ; and u can browse more same photos

Average fuel consumption you can get about 12-15km/l.

yeah we will get ready for it but do u mind explaining a lil more? now i think i know a lil bout the rusty thingy ad. i guess my NHC will be the same though. but any solution to it at the moment?

See below pic thn u will knw...but dun worried, I think Honda will provide us free coating/anti rust. 

well, i sincerely hope so, but my city arrival is no where near yet. expecting it to be july. so do u think they will do something about it? i mean, if they provide the antirust coating, will they put it on those cars that are yet to be delivered?

Ya...I quite worried with this kind of thing also.....just now just talk bout it with the SA but he didn't know anything about it.....Gonna book it on next 2 weeks and need to wait 4 month    

So my concern is will my car also get this kind of rusty issue??

ic.....i am staying in jb, no 3M service centre to install the tint, but i will order from 3M directly they will send ppl down to jb for installation.

malaysia car stolen case so many? u really dun scare ah?? haha becos i know thief they like to steal car with NOTHING AT ALL....meaning not even a physical security lock (even cheapo one).......

Just a little rust. And it is not really a big issue that affect the car's safety and so on.

Most of the time door visor creates additional noise/sound to the car especially wen it is not installed properly. But it definitely don't help to reduce.
90% is only based on the insured amount. You got to note that once you buy your car, the insured amount is already 10% lower than your purchase price. And have to add on those accesories and belongings that you have in your car. you easily lost 20% of what you paid.

guys u all talking about the what rust on the arm. how do u all get arrangement from honda to do it? i got mine end of FEB and do i need to get the arm coated with antirust? how do i get them to do it for me?

I've posted this on 2009 HONDA CITY in facebook.

"Hi 2009 Honda City. I've went to a HONDA showroom for my first 1000 km servicing & saw the CRV, Stream & Accord. They do not have rusty knuckle arms issue because their arms have been given antirust coating straight out from the factory. Even their brake disc rotors are given an antirust coating straight out from the f...actory. Why do HONDA have to be stingy and not give CITY the rust coating straight out from the factory? Aren't quality should be HONDA's main priority? I know CITY is the cheapest HONDA vehicle available but still HONDA shouldn't treat CITY owners in that manner right?"

Just to share my thoughts with forummers here.
