I buy from the Kepong SA, he had explain the most basic requiretment of the car to me and honestly told me he not well known bout this K5 since is still new , so i can understand tat.

I also go & search internet and get knowledge 4myself since i'm getting the car for myself , cant just trust SA said , and sometimes SA will have mistake and do fault since i m also a sales line person .

Even he is not giving me best offer when i find out from other dealer after loan approved . He allow me transfer my loan to other KIA dealer , but i not too.. (he also cari makan only) kepong dealer is the most nearest to me , and he is easy going person, nice . so i choosed to took from him , and he also did delivered the car on the date i want.

so i m always think ''give & take''.
easy life , easy happy . ''enjoy the ride''

Would it be noted on paper if the car is CKD version or semi CKD?

Wont be stated. I presumed that if the unit is CKD, there wont be AP paper lo.

QUOTE(Kalist0 @ Apr 12 2012, 09:46 AM)
Question guys, if the k5 will be ckd in the future, will the price go down? Naturally, all ckd cars go down by at least 10k.

The price will remains the same according to my SA. He asked me to see at Sportage. Price still remains the same.

QUOTE(djhenry91 @ Apr 12 2012, 09:52 AM)
500 unit?? how come i dint see any k5 on the road gek??

I saw quite a lot at Puchong and Subang. Though, not many in Klang sad.gif

hi all..i'm a white k5 owner..so far i'm enjoying my car..but recently i noticed rattling sound coming from the roof at the sunroof switch area..anybody has experienced this?
*
I think that one of fellow member did complained about this before and he went to stick the part with tapes. Something is loose.

QUOTE(feng yun @ Apr 12 2012, 12:12 PM)
I heard from SA kia red cube PJ, Sportage price remain the same as CBU after conversion to CKD / SKD.
Can anyone confirm?

If same apply to K5, i think better get current CBU asap he he.
*
Like mentioned above, guarantee price will remains the same. CBU will better than CKD? Might be but most likely all inside our mind only smile.gif

Added on April 13, 2012, 1:38 amBTW, any of you guys find that the 'CAMRY' advertisement is annoying? Made my thread smaller sad.gif

No deny that Toyota is dumping alot of money in marketing compare to Kia.

Kepong K5 TT ?? drool.gif come on.. Come on.. thumbup.gif

I got my tinted free from my SA, ...... so no headache on that.

And call up another SA selling K5 logo 1set (front and back) Rm200

Or Eagle logo 1set (F and B) Rm200

Any 1 share? Share means we buy both .. Then is either u take front eagle logo back K5 logo
Then I take front K5 logo back eagle logo, Or terbalik.. Good idea? icon_rolleyes.gif

Rims 4 set logo = Rm120 (eagle or k5 can't remember)

thought that the PG was dull but a lad at my place has got it and boy does it look sexy and aesthetically menacing. Making me think twice as the only thing holding me back is the limited choice of colors.

anyway this week Kia is having their roadshow at Johor hence will be checking it out and taking a test drive if time permits as these roadshows generally draw a gargantuan size crowd!

Yes.

The current batch of K5 is direct from Kia's Korea factory. Fully import and coming in using AP. (CBU)
The upcoming batch will be semi assemble in Malaysia and in near future, will be fully assemble. Thus, classified under CKD unit.

No stock for all color? In KL, white is the 'hot' color. If you going for PG, easier and shorter waiting period.

I am suprise too, 2k or 2.5k is not a small amount. How come i got nothing when i booked during one U roadshow??
Can someone confirm this??

I am suspecting 2011 model because previously they gave 1k discount. So now is April already, 2k or 2.5k discount make sense??

This is most likely due to dealing with the dealers. They can offer better discount comparatively the Kia branch.
But then, getting from dealers can't really guarantee the car is totally 'new'. if you don't mind the possibilities the car has been used by someone for short test drive, then u may go to dealer with a better cash rebate. Most likely cars from dealers will be having some 50-100km done, this inclusive the driving from the distributing location to the dealer location. smile.gif

hahaa....siapa makan cabai tu, dia lah terasa pedasnya..hahahaa

but seriously, when u decided to buy K5, go back to the best SA u think and tell him what best offer u got from your over-surveying...tell him to meet it and u will sign...if he cant, so be it..at least, he is given the chance
*
I think this is fair.

And in case anyone thinks I don't believe in scouting around for the best deal, I believe that it's the buyer's right to ensure that he/she isn't fleeced by the wrong SA.

On the flipside though, by informing the SA of your choice that you are getting such and such a deal from another branch, might cause him to report it to his manager that the deal seems too good, i.e, the other dealer is throwing prices, which might cause the principal to issue warnings or worse, terminate the offending dealership (that has been throwing prices).

That actually happened recently when I walked into two different VW dealerships. The SA from the more expensive dealership said he knows what the other SA is doing, and reports have already been lodged. The expensive SA even went so far as to say that the other dealer is on the way to losing their dealership lol...

So my suggestion is to keep the best deals you got, hush hush. Only share it with forummers lol... Otherwise as the Chinese saying goes, "One clap two gone" hahaha.

Don't be like the idiot friend of my friend. Because of my friend's good working relationship with a camera brand, the idiot managed to get some pretty darn good discounts for his camera and lenses. Then the idiot was at a camera shop one day and casually asked the prices of the gear that he had bought directly.

When the dealer told him the price, the idiot bragged about how he can get so much cheaper, directly from the camera brand! Of course the dealer tu-lan and complained to the camera brand la. So now, nobody gets special prices anymore lol...
