Congrats bro!!!!

epo.. wait ah then.. the 2.0 already in the showroom. last time more worst no single 2.0 in any showroom .
hope the delivery will be soon.

Apalah hehehe

oh dang thts really bright, how much for the led lights ? would be a great mod.

thanks for sharing again.

can we set the light like the in car lamp..like the "on-off-door" control..?

oh no... i miss the shiftronic...

hehehe... u don't have 'kancil' as a backup...?
ok la... at least u can sell with higher price... mine lost about rm1k extra...
if not coz of the bank rate up, i would like to keep it until my car arrive...
i'm afraid people will use above reason to lowering my avanza price coz need to pay higher monthly installments...

this friday i need to use kancil to fetch my wife + kid from LCCT... anyone can lend me their forte?
if can lend, i'll lend my 2.0 for a day for him also as a 'barter' trade...

Yaa..but I rather lost RM1k instead of more than 3 & a half month of waiting. Selling my old car last year=got higher price, buying Forte 2.0=RM93.8k, waiting endlessly for the Forte 2.0=PRICELESS

Yes, you have to tell ur installer that and i believe they can do that for you.

If like this than dunno whether i will get the sport rims or not... bcoz my car was already at SA showroom with 15" steel rims...but i haven't get the car due to some register problem told by SA...some more SA telling me the BK not come with the car, need to go back and install later... does he bluff me??

You can use anything that's RON91 or above.

No one expects the EX to sell as well as the SX because the higher spec version is a much better package.

As for the depreciation of Korean cars, it is undeniable that older Koreans are fairly worthless in the 2nd hand market. However 2nd hand value is determined by the market demand. This might not be the best example, but in Australia the i30's 3 year resale % is the same as other Jap rivals in the same segment.... pretty unusual for Korean marques.

Can't say the same for the Forte... a 1 year old Forte is only worth half its price whereas a VTi Civic can pretty much fetch 70%. You lose approx AUD3000 more for selling a Forte after one year, but you've already paid an extra 3000 for the Civic when you bought the brand new one (albeit with much less features); so it pretty much balances out. What you lose is the extra money paid for loan installments for the Civic due to its higher selling price.

Naza on the other hand used to kill Kias by Nazafying them; yet in the case of the Forte they Nazafied them straight away to avoid the same mistakes. For all the horrible stuff that Naza did, the good thing is that they provide an opportunity to purchase foreign cars at a cheap price, like the 407 and 308.

The Avante is reaching the end of its life cycle. Not a bad car, but the Forte is still a better choice if you're willing to wait for the 2.0.

At last the calling for V5 !!

V5 is up !!

Just survey around for the windscreen tinted, Aircool now is having promotion..
RM630 for whole car, 88% Heat reduction. It is worth?

Depend on what you are looking for. Have you checked whether it is 88% TSER or 88% IRR? There will be a huge different.
If you really want heat reduction, look for TSER above 50%. For TSER>80%, I think it will cost you a fortune (more than 2k)
Due to the insecurity in M'sia, better opt for security films for side windows.
Check saimatkong's blog: http://blog.saimatkong.com/index.php/2010/...cotint-aircool/
He had given a thorough good explanation.
To get a better quality tinting with 4mil security film for side windows, it will normally cost more than RM1000.
I bought mine for RM1600, V-Kool Elite 70 (94% IRR) for front and back and 4mil Armor coat security films (70% IRR) for side windows.
I think I was being duped (he said it is the cheapest among all the v-kool dealers)... Not sure how true it is. Any comments?
Check out "Raytech" tint shop also in Serdang..If you happen to live in KL/Selangor. They offer 5mil security films for side windows and >80% IRR for front and back. It's about RM1450++...
If you want to stick to the budget below RM1000, be prepare when you go to the tint shop...They will always duped you to opt for the more expensive one...

if i were to buy this car, what is the minimum salary to get the loan approve?

For the 2.0SX model.

People keep asking the same question
Rule of thumb, 1/3 of your basic salary should not be less than the sum of your housing loan and car loan payments for fast approval...
