Got back from signing the loan agreement, handed over my existing car registration card to the dealer (he paid the difference of the downpayment balance) and got my copy of the car allocation details - SA promised by Wed or Thurs next week will get the car out but I have to get the car number this week from JPJ and hand over the documents to him.

Thinking twice whether to hold on doing the tinting at RM900 until later if I feel the car is really hot under the sun.

Can share your beetifull numbers which are already sold - I intend to go tomorrow to buy numbers - if WTS coming on Thursday may wait till then to get triple number

Called JPJ Wangsa Maju this morning and the WTR 8XXX started - heading to Maju Junction to buy my number after lunch - wish me luck!!

did not buy the WTR 8xxx and WTR 9xxx numbers yesterday upon advise by counter - most likely tomorrow morning the WTS series is released and confirmed 210RM only for any untendered numbers -

Got my number in 1 min at the JPJ Sri Permaisuri branch at 930am today - of course I had a list of numbers which I brought, but after the second try (the other two numbers were tendered or bought earlier in the morning - I got the third option with a 9, 8 and 2 - so not so bad after all. Worst thing were the jam from USJ and also going back - took me 2 hrs traveling time to and fro combined

Here's the map to the place - easy to find - after entering Bandar Sri Permaisuri after paying RM0.50 toll, just go straight through the first traffic light and then at the second traffic light just turn left and ahead on your right after 1 km or so you can see the 3-storey shophouses on your right - its the corner shoplot and you can't miss it - a lot of motorbikes outside and beside it is an open car park.

BTW my SA in SS17 told me the Kastams part has been done and he is rushing to get the duty paid and then can get the car out by next Wed as promised..........

I truly feel for the really patient 2.0 bookers who waited so long for the Forte - actually I do believe that the 1.6SX is already a good buy - I used to drive a 2.2 but in these times, technology advancement is giving us better torque output for the same cc - moreover the 2000cc road tax is 380RM while the SX is 90RM - my 2 cts - anyhow I hope all Forte 2.0 owners will get their cars soonest to make their wait worthwhile........

am going to the Giant hyper and Ace to check out the mats over there and their prices since they come in a roll - will revert soon

wah go for jpj inspection - which level of the process is this?

actually would like to know the individual steps that take place when after the car is allocated / loan approved / downpayment paid - especially the kastams, k1, edaftar, ehakmilik etc etc because I really dont understand all these mandatory things to do before we get our car

Last week when I mentioned I have paid my downpayment and loan approval, and an 1.6SX has been allocated to me with engine and chassis number with my name - I also noticed now that there are allocations in the list which are assigned to a category called consignment (maybe to dealers). And the beautiful part of this is that in this consignment list I saw a 2.0SX Spicy Red unit being assigned with chassis and engine no - and the physical location is Rantau Panjang!! allocated date 22/3/2010 so this means 2.0SX units are being allocated.

BTW there are two more Forte owners in the same list as me with the same allocation date 19 March 2010 ( a Mr E. Lim with delivery at Rawang like me and a Mr K with delivery at Gurun), sorry no full names for privacy purpose, just wondering whether they are active in this forum or not.

Any car tinting promotions - want to get the best deal - in Klang Valley thanks

Bros - SA said waiting for JPJ to issue for K1 today - how long does it take - after that can register right?

Thanks mc_groven - I decided to opt out of the cat tint voucher thingy and decided to go for outside branded shops - just waiting for it to be registered and off I go to the tint shop (hopefully they give the price they gave one of our forte owners here)

Called JPJ Setapak - they say it takes 3-6 days for K1 approval - is this true?

Was informed it takes like 1 day to approve and its through the net......
