If they are not willing to spare one car for test drives, they are losing potential customers like me who want to try out a car instead of buying a car 'blind'. They are selling Kias, not Ferraris, Porsches or Maseratis.
If I do end up with a Forte,
my commission would go to the dealership which satisfies my concerns.
Exactly my thought when I went shopping for a Forte.
Naza showroom in TTDI did not even bother to acknowledge my existance. The sales person was MIA, the receptionist just looked up from her phone conversation with an annoyed look. At least the Mazda & Pug sales persons at the same showroom bothered to talk to me. Dont think have a 6 spped test drive unit.
Naza Puchong showroom's salesman was OK. Not very convincing & if I was 50-50, he would lose the deal. Refused to give anything. Had no 6 speed to test drive. Bull $hit that they had ready stock but when I asked exactly how many 2.0L & what colour in stock, without checking the stock list, he said enough. I know when a sales person is bull $hitting coz' I see it every day.
Then ask a P2 sales manager friend for help & in less than 5 mins, he told me that Diversified Resources Klang branch has one unit 2.0L BRight Silver in stock. If I want, they will reserve it for me right now. In less than 40 mins, I was in Bukit Tinggi Klang test driving a 2.0L 6 speed & immediately wrote a cheque for deposit.
The branch manager & assist. manager who served me was most helpful & worked hard to make sure the car was registered in 3 days (after the full payment was made).
So, they got the sale & truly deserved the commission. I now do not hesitate to recommend this dealer. They also have a Kia showroom branch in Kepong. Unlike other Naza showrooms,
Diversified Resources HAS ready Forte stock available for immediate registration.
Naza showrooms normally
book the car only after you put down the deposit. Hence the waiting period of as long as 2-3 months.
Biasa-lah... showroom nampak cantik, tapi tak ada wang beli stock. Beli bila ada tempahan dan deposit, bayar lepas 30 hari kredit.
