I hope they don't do that. Its just going to make people give a negative perception on the brand. I rather they add more features instead. Or consider doing something pre-owned e.g. BMW or VW. This is to preserve resale value too.

i think no one cares about resale value when it is hyundai... most people buy hyundai eventhough they know hyundai's 2nd hand value is freaking low.. they buy cos they want to buy... for a rational person giving thoughts about resale value then most likely he or she wont buy hyundai

The best discount i got was in December last year for 22K. Surely will be more now.

ohmy.gif ohmy.gif ohmy.gif 22k? assumingly 98k is the price you referring to, 98k -22k = 76k?

Is it that guy which i told u to call? The 22K was a discount from the OTR price. Plus that was in December. Im sure the discounts are more now. Can u call him again and check whats the current discount? Im sure they're more desperate to push off units since the Avante has already been revealed on Malaysian shores.
*
hi cybermaster, yes i called the guy you mentioned. also aurelius inform me about this guy in cheras branch, today i went to his showroom confirm the price is 80888 + insurance + free gps for the whole package. sound a good deal? idk u guys tell me?

by the way ss2 branch offer is 80388, not 80300, the SA very frank and told me that he slash half of his comm to give me this deal of 80388, the price is actually 80888 same as cheras branch and that their comm is 1k. true or not? again idk lah.....

her are the things i gather:
1) ss2 branch, RM80388 OTR (no free gift) 15 units black color left, limited silver and sapphire silver (dont know how many left but very limited)
2) cheras branch, RM80888 OTR (free gps system) few units black, 1 unit sapphire grey only
3) puchong branch, RM81888 OTR (no free gift) only black and sapphire in stock

all branch SA seem to provide good service, atleast this is how i feel after meeting them la... whoever want their contacts can always pm me smile.gif last but not least, i think avante is the way if anyone is looking for comfort and have a slightly tight budget, when i test drive avante, i feel like driving a luxury car, something like driving a sylphy but at 25k less price smile.gif

You should always get a nett price minus all the freebies. Dont bother about the GPS or whatver. Always ask for a discunt based on the OTR price only. Dont be taken up by freebies. Getting a discount based on OTR price gets u lower loan payments which are worth much more in the long term than the GPS anyway.

On the Avante itself, u must remember that eventhough its 25K less than the Sylphy now, but the resale value (which is already low) will drop further when the new Avante is launched. So u need to take all this into account and get the best cash discount possible. Dont be satisfied with the prices above.

Remember than Hyundai will face bigger losses if they still have stock when the new Avante is launched so they are getting more desperate to push off current stock. Take advantage of this desperation and dont settle for less.

thanks for your advice, will think about it... well actually i have been thinking too much, in the end just no conclusion and purely 'lost'... so now i decide to just follow my heart, i like it i can afford it i buy it, simple as that... icon_rolleyes.gif

hybrid car very expensive to maintain, and it runs on two separate engine, means to say your engine has double the chance of failure that leads to double amount of repair bills! unfortunately the benefits of driving a hybrid is far yet to outweight the conventional petrol car (lower cost, low maintanence)

of cos hybrid save some serious fc, but again still not able to offset the extra money u paid for buying the car and the high maintenance bills you will likely to face in future... think carefully before buying a hybrid, oh btw it is suppose to be 'green' tech, good for environmental issue kind of thingy... but do we malaysian care? er.....

Hi Paul

so u confirm order this avante?
which branch you will go to?

yesterday i went to puchong branch, the SA saw im like small girl going on my own, he offer me 83888..  blink.gif

then when i told him, i just went to Cheras branch and they offer me 81000, why this branch so expensive, then he reply, if i confirm bookin, then he might speak to the boss for futher discount  shakehead.gif

Puchong branch told me that the sear only available in bleach colour, but catalog shows grey, izit any other colour for the leather seat?  blush.gif

and, can we change the AUX to USB? (the car does not have USB plug)
*
yes kono, confirmed bought already, should get my new car these few days, but not sure when is the exact date.
ok... if you want best price, go for SD branch in SS2, their price is 80388, can't find any lower... need SA number pm me.
As for puchong branch they have limited colors, SD have all the colors, the seat in bleach color like yeowa mention.... lastly i think u can't change the AUX to USB, but i don't need a USB anyway so i never bother smile.gif

Launching is September 2011 right now. Will try to pull earlier to July. No indication on the prices but the engine variant will be 1.6 & 1.8.

1.6 engine will be the same as Forte 1.6. Don't ask me where is the sauce from. Read back previous post. smile.gif

So, it is really depending on one who prefer avante or forte look. I might opt for Forte cause now got no car, not convenient. sad.gif

wei yeowa, what happen to your avante? change your mind so fast already? brows.gif by the way i thought your sis got extra car for u to use?

going at kesas highway 100km middle of the night, suddenly meter malfunction 100km/h drop to 0 in 1 sec, whole car jerk and the gear box switch to 1st gear forcing the whole engine to VROOMMMMMM and lost control (luckily no car beside as is middle of the night) then steer left n right out of control at highway cos engine was pulling to a stop at such highspeed, thank god i am not going at 140km, this is also due to the nice eletric steering that avante offers, so light to make a turn and so deadly if something wrong occured.....

SD say most likely will change me a new one, this is the first time this happens... going to buy dai ma cai! also i heard from them sonata also happens before, due to some wiring defects and sensor malfunction!

Buying your new avante? better consider again lol.... just joking! avante is really a nice car, just that my luck no good sad.gif
