Added on March 28, 2012, 1:06 amI got my tinting from Raytech since their HQ located just opposite the Kia Showroom. Got myself with their most high end products according to the salesgirl (max heat coverage plus security films; 6mil) for everywhere inclusive roof. Tried it with some spotlight to test the heat protection before paying RM2800 too and the SA covered the balance. If i not mistaken, the whole package costs me RM3400 - 3500.

My number also start with WWN. Same color with yours too. Seems that it is easy to recognize your car if bump on the road. Haha.

If you can only afford 1 currently and ure not desperate for a new car, then go for property. I bought 2 prime properties in KL before i decided to change my car after 9 years of usage.

yeah...car is always a liability, the value of this so called "asset" will always depreciate..
get at least a property and then only consider for luxury as in a car with the extra money u have..

that is superb advise

IF you comparing the car and property , bro, i prefer you go for property 1st . now a day property price increased very fast and expensive ..
if not buy now future will be even more , get a appreaciation thing (property price increase ) , before u get your depreaciation stuff ( transpotation )

just my 2cents.

so its 240? My SA advise me 320. Could you explain further how you derive to the above calculations?

there is a tyre pressure information sticker at the driver side of the car body, when u open the door, at the hinge there

the new cars all are inflated with overpressure till 370kpa for mine...which is actually dangerous !!

Yes, car is always in the "want" list when come to budgeting. But if your new ride will indirectly generate income for you, dont mind investing into it. Much depends on the line of your works.

Added on March 28, 2012, 4:01 pmwow nearly 100k more exp than K5. Ouch.

Of course la, one is "Ori", the other one is "Copy" lol...

Yes but i guess ure paying for the brand and also the technology. But the K5 beats the Audi with its exterior design. The K5 is a head turner while the Audi will be just another common site on the road with not much to differentiate between the various models except for the DRL's.

The A4 will cost approx RM 2300 per month for 9 yrs while the Optima will cost RM 1500 for 7 yrs. Audi comes with 2 years unlimited mileage warranty and 15,000km (every 9 months with my driving distance) servicing intervals.

Go drive an audi then u will know why u r paying so much difference compared to a kia...

Isnt that what i said? I guess u dont really understand English eh?

Added on March 29, 2012, 7:39 amEverybody putting in new engines while Toyota still gonna use old engine and old 4 speed auto transmission for the new Camry 2.0L and still charge us RM150K. Only 2.5L will get new dual VVTI engine and new 6 speed transmission.

it is just plain business move, i think...u see, toyota has developed the engines decade ago, and has spent millions in R&D and mould, die & jigs fabrication for the old camry manufacturing....if the sales or the requirement is still manageable, then why not continue to use it again...in this case, m'sia or any other country with die hard fans, it is actually a smart business move...selling at premium price, with new facelift or body over same engine and transmission..the profit margin will skyrocket..

if in other country, where competition is stronger, im sure toyota will fit in more advance engine, transmission and features or else they will lose out...i dont see toyota sales dropping significantly, even with new camry with old tech out....unless other brands in m'sia has strong presence to fight with them..

i mean, if u r toyota m'sia decision making person, decide this..... coming out with new camry new tech low profit margin abt same sales volume, versus new camry, old tech but HIGH profit margin and add some marketing to spice up sales even more

in the end, u get promoted for skewing m'sia consumer !!

Yes of course. In Toyota's mind, they are making more profit as ppl are still buying their outdated models with dinosour tech. But this year it would be interesting to see if the same sentiments can be met. Toyota have alot more competition this year especially from the Koreans.

thats what u think..coz u got knowledge in cars....
i know many of my relatives...buy car, standard otomatik go T&H showroom lioaw...

but of course, korean , volks with their aggresive pricing, will be eating some of the jap market share...but i think another 3 years at least..hence toyota still got the time buffer to play with this card(dino tech camry)
