coz same like singapore. some batch (after some months in 2009) didn't get the extended warranty. dont ask me why. i dunno. maybe it's just the company policy.

talking bout 2 years service for inspira..
there is always a loophole in the agreement.. only if they remove the 2nd clause will be much better.
if not, if they could not deliver, customer cannot sue them... nice move there...

this time i agree 100% with cyber. good thoughts there.
and past kia history also play part in the evaluation.

then i've another question.

will insurance company quote 55K also for forte when we renew insurance?
or will they quote high price? what i know is when we claim insurance, they will follow market value..

so who's determine the 2nd value for new car?

insurance or market demand?

you know what, last time when i lost my wira due to theft, the Kurnia agent ask me to get the 2nd market value from manufacturer. that is the first time my experience in claim. Proton people laugh at me coz no such thing 2nd market value determine by the manufacturer.

1) its the car dealer quote to buy from your friend. if sell direct to potential customer you could get higher value (i.e. rm55K (car dealer quote, maybe they sell at rm65K). so you could expect rm65K roughly for market value.
2) its 2009 car. already near 2 years in market (regardless months that u bought) - cyber already explained this
3) for 2 years car rm82K (assume it's 1.6SX), then 82 - 65 = 17K lost. its expected to lost more in 1st year and 2nd year.
4) your car color also give small contribution. grey is the safest color and they always quote higher for grey. grey = easy to sell its a universal color for all cars (dont flame me i read it somewhere, maybe there is truth in this). maybe white will fetch higher value for forte because demand for white is highest among other color
5) there is not much owner selling their forte, as at now maybe less than 10 units.
6) car dealers maybe sceptical in why your friend want to sell the car regardless of any reason that he gave. suspicious no 1 always = accident, no 2 = flood, no 3 = unknown problem
7) to know the real market value for forte, need to wait 3 to 5 years more. that is when owner will ditch their ride and hunting other new models in the market and where lots of reference to market value could be made.

don't flame ya.. just a thought to share will all..

8) also to add, maybe the first few 50 owners who sold their rides are the benchmark. how high you could hold the selling price. coz market value is depend on the average selling price. not the lowest and not the highest you can sell.

yes. no cable.

you mean if change rim size is it? i doubt if change tyre brand need to re-calibrate..

next service go kepoh dig some info for us.. later we call u sifu pulak..

then retune tu LE version la...

yeah. intermittently. normal.

copy pasta from MFC portal. for complete discussion please go to
http://www.myforteclub.com/forum/6-technic...en-off-ignition

maybe before this you haven't notice them. same like mine. when they're kepoh2 only i realize that i also have the same metal contracting sound when switch off the engine after driving. lolz.. before this havent notice at all.

Added on October 16, 2010, 8:27 pmsend to SC to relubricate that thing.

to start your car, press the button once. then press again for 10secs (without pressing the break). it should start.

errr.. i haven't try. can you try it for me.. lolz..
but read in FB. someone posted. and it's also in the manual.

taken from manual under title STARTING THE ENGINE

edit:

When the stop lamp fuse is blown, you
can't start the engine normally.
Replace the fuse with a new one. If it
is not possible, you can start the
engine by pressing the ENGINE
START/STOP button for 10 seconds
while it is in the ACC position. The
engine can start without depressing
the brake pedal. But for your safety
always depress the brake pedal before
starting the engine.


CAUTION
Do not press the ENGINE START/
STOP button for more than 10 seconds
except when the stop lamp
fuse is blown.

dunno what is the caution all about. but someone did try the above method without pressing the brake.

52L is the exact full tank capacity. however you didn't drive until no single fuel drop right? in average 44L only when you refuel after the empty tank indicator lights up.

for FC you should expect between 450KM and 550KM for 1.6 (mixed city and highway drive). this is just a rough figure and stock condition and based on few owner's feedback.

after mod of course you could gain more mileage.

p/s: my personal record

mixed city & highway always 530 ~ 550KM per full tank

100% highway = 630KM (left 70KM estimated before empty)
