QUOTE(orbclyne @ Feb 28 2011, 11:34 PM) Where is the 40% cut off for Insight part from honda. Very concern on 100k service.  sell the car before 5 years maybe  I booked my Insight yesterday. SA said part gets 30% discount but looks like it is not, have to ask for explaination. The 100km service price is mind boogling

QUOTE(psyeo @ Mar 1 2011, 08:52 AM) and what if Honda ran out of the 4,250 APs for the importation of Hybrid for this year? (Which I think is very likely to happen in 2 to 3 months time) Hopefully Honda Malaysia will be able to get more Hybrid APs for CR-Z from the gov...if not those people who are waiting for CR-Z will be disappointed. My SA told me the booking level already reached 4K units as of last Saturday. So I think it will over in next 2~3 weeks. Still can get the car but at RM124K

QUOTE(psyeo @ Mar 1 2011, 10:18 AM) Why RM124K? I thought without AP you can't bring in the car at all? According to SA, the 2011 budget only allow 5K units or 1yr (2011) to be duty free. If exceed the 5K units, duty is applicable on subsequent imported Insight. He didn't mention about AP, so can still get Insight but at RM124K.

QUOTE(n00b123 @ Mar 1 2011, 11:34 AM) There are high possibilities that the tax exemption for hybrid cars will be abolished next year.. this is to make way for Proton to introduce their new hybrid models in malaysia Hence, if your queue is greater than 4250 th unit, then the earliest possible allocation to you will be on Jan 2012 by then, once the tax exemption is abolished, you won't be able to purchase it at 98k anymore Seriously, who wants to buy Proton hybrid... ??? For 20yrs they couldn't even get the power window right. I own the new Saga, the window switch kaput after 2yrs and the mechanic says even if he changed it, it will happen again  It is common problem for all proton cars.

QUOTE(n00b123 @ Mar 1 2011, 01:00 PM) let's say after the tax exemption for hybrid cars were abolished, the price of the imported hybrid cars projected as below: Insight 120k+ civic hybrid 130k+ toyota prius 160k+ so, when proton launch their Tuah/Jebat/Kasturi hybrid, it would probably cost 80-90k to compete with imported hybrids.. in this case, do you foresee the competition? Then I will just buy a petrol car, Ford Fiesta 17KM/L @ RM78K. There will be more efficient car coming out next year. Right now my Saga, sapping at 10KM/L worse than a Camry. Another, if a battery failed it will cost a lot $$$, so I wouldn't put my bet on Proton reliability. Right now they have zero records on hybrid production.

QUOTE(idoblu @ Mar 10 2011, 12:51 PM) your dealer's test car also silver? if yes, can pm me the location of this dealer? thanks so far i know puchong has a silver in their showroom but their test car is white there is a blue test car at chan sow lin For silver try USJ near Summit USJ. They have a silver for test drive. Puchong's SA lied about the booking rate to con me into booking the insight with him. Hate this kind of salesman.

QUOTE(ZeroSP @ Mar 10 2011, 02:04 PM) But avoid USJ if possible... You can take a look but not booking there... True, my friend booked there. Has to pay full RM3,000 for booking and no goodies. The SA is not responsive as well, didn't even remind my colleague the document he needed. Last minute contact and asked for it. So delivery delayed.

QUOTE(jimleow @ Mar 10 2011, 06:39 PM) Which Puchong's SA are you referring to? I am quite happy with Peter (SA from Puchong) because he can be trusted. I booked my car during KLIMS 2010 and he promised me that I can receive my car by either end of February 2011 or early March 2011. He kept to his promise and I received my car on 1st March 2011. No laa... dun wanna naming anyone here but it is not Peter. He just cari makan only. But if anyone goes to Puchong look for Peter la..  since there is happy customer here.

Yesterday CCTV quoted Honda China says that delivery of parts and cars will be delayed because transportation, parts availability and power rationing. Parts manufacturer are the hardest hit and still has yet recovered. I think this news applicable to here as well... Envy you guys who got the Insight earlier...
