lucky you said that because i just get my ASX!!!! YIPEE!!! Dealer told me not to modify anything during the warranty period, which is 3 years. My ASX is pear white.  smile.gif 
But through out the purchase process I am very not satisfy with it  mad.gif I'm not sure is this how Mitsubishi dealer treat their customer:

1) I go to showroom book the car by giving RM500 of deposit (not down payment). That time i was deposit for a gray color ASX. I've confirm with SA that they have a stock for this gray color.

2) Then my full down payment get dragged a week due to I'm outstation on next day of the deposit.

3) Before I can made my full down payment, SA called up and said no more gray units. Immediately I fak him how come the color can be taken by others, suppose that deposit should had lock it. Find sales manager and get the answer was first come first serve base on full downpayment! WTF then what is that deposit for! I believe this never happen for other brand's car!

4) No choice but to take white color. Gray color need to wait until august. So my full down payment made, all the documents sign, JPJ get car plate number and waiting for the SA to call up.

5) Finally SA called up to collect the car 2 days after (car already tinted. The process took kinda fast really). But when I went for the car, the first look of the car is: A DEMO UNIT!!!!  vmad.gif

I finally realise that the dealer dis honer to me! That car doesn't look brand new at all. Although there is no scratches, tyres still look new but the car mileage already hit more than 140km! And the car seat doesn't have any stickers, plastic cover, all had been rip off and i can see a lot of footstep stain appear on the internal car mat!!

Still with all these conditions, dealer told me is a brand new car.  mad.gif

So again I fak them (SA + manager) for getting me a demo unit. At the end, they admit the car is a display unit, but there is a different between their terms "Display" and "Demo". Display only park in showroom while demo on the road test drive. But what is the different for me? Still that car might had been touched / sit by thousands of ppl!
Also, i notice not all branch having demo unit. If that time no demo unit, they will use the display unit for customer to test drive!
WTF so means the car i get is a half display half demo!!! With that fact, I argue with my dealer until finally they admit that they are not sure is the car had been test drive before because it is taken from another branch. And that car appear as a display unit on that branch..  vmad.gif

I'm so sure with this fact because I also been test drive the display unit ASX before i purchase it.

But when everything comes to the end, the car cannot exchange, no more discount... but dealer offered me additional 3 times free service... still i am not satisfy with the way they handler my purchase! Now i start thinking is it because they wanna hit their quarter sales so they lie to me about the no more gray color but to push out any left over display / demo unit.  vmad.gif

So sorry for this long story of mine. I just wanna confirm with you guys is this the way mit dealer do. Also i found that the driver seat leather cover is not fully inserted into the seat (left and right side), is this same with u guy's asx ?

I brought from JM Auto Gallery, Penang...perhaps their managing style is so "outstanding" that I definitely can't accept. Until now still haven't find any abnormal on the car (2 days drive).
Your gray unit should be look just fine even without blackening it.  smile.gif  hmm.gif  For my white unit I think need some chemical coating to make it easier during car wash... I will go for PPS coat.

Oh ya their demo units that I saw are registered and with demo sticker on each side of the car. Only the 'display' unit in showroom using blue plates when a test drive carry out. But still the display unit shouldn't sell away just like that to end user, or at least should get approval / notice.
As far as I know, they will use 'display' unit to demo when ever there is no demo unit at that time.

So my peace of advice now is: If demo / display unit is white in colour, don't choose that colour for your new Mit. LOL


Added on July 1, 2012, 9:53 pmOh ya I forgot to mention another thing about my SA. Early on I had a deal with my SA for a free alloy gear knob, and few accessories. But at the end non of them is given... so fak up... I will call him up to before my 1000km service!  vmad.gif

Kinda regret to buy asx from JM Auto.. that cheebyeee sdn bhd.  mad.gif  what a shame for MMM.


Added on July 2, 2012, 9:22 amAnyhow talk about new car like asx, do we need to some sort like floor it on highway to burn the engine for the first 1k milleage?

I've heard a lot of these action for new cars. But how effective it is unknown to me.

My car now get about 10-13L/100km for city drive. Normal for that? Haven't try highway. My SA told me this car will get less than 20cent per km.
