Guys, im sure many of you have been waiting for this news for some time.

Well, after 5 months of analysis and 9 test drives, ive finally booked my Bright Silver K5 today in Ipoh. I chose this dealer because of a number of reasons:

1) best trade in value for my 2003 Vios 1.5E (RM38K)
2) Branch manager was polite, respectful & had good customer service standards despite my many delays since Feb.
3) even though i was a serious buyer, he refused to allow me to test one of the Optima's there saying its for a customer and its not ethical for him to do so. (I was merely testing him).
4) He also agreed to absorb all the runner costs for getting a KL number plate
5) He said he has stock for Silver arriving by end month which would allow me to get my fav WWR plate.

Now need to seriously look into trading in the Nexen tyres.

Congratulation!!! My Bright Silver already at showroom, will go and see her tomorrow. By end of this month will join K5 family rclxms.gif

Now i am thinking, can i survive with Nexen tire? Because when i test drove in One U last time, i didn't hear lot of noise from tyre... Probably i didn't go too fast...

What about discount or freebies?
No discount/freebies. My target is higher trade in which sorta balances out. But i got them to absorb the runner fees as well.

I think that's fair consider we get discount n freebies in KL but you still win 1K over trade in. But I can sense they have internal deal to give u higher trade in. well, I could be wrong...smile.gif

The highest i got in KL was 35K (1 place), while others were only about RM33K. So the trade in price difference is between 3-4K.

light graphite yet to see but looks sleeker then the PG, just wish they would also bring in the metal bronze, then it would really have some splash of panache and class towards the overall exterior.

DJSoo, can u describe hows ur car rear door sound like? ...mine one I m not very sure from B pillar or rear door, like some metal part knocking, very soft...other passenger didnt notice but kind of annoying coz its right into my ear. Anyone know which SC good in fixing this type of problem icon_question.gif ?

Just to share some information about freebies that i've got, there were 2 diff offer, Sunway Kia dealer offer free tinting (VKool Elite + Armorcoat), Smart tag & Full tank, another dealer offer cash rebate RM2000 + Smart tag + full tank, finally i choose Sunway Kia coz they offer better trade in price for my H.City

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)

Let's me know if got TT smile.gif

As for the emblem, if you not that hurry better get it from Shark Racing. Cheaper.

Though, you might end up buying more than just emblem. Just like me. Haha

Welcome welcome to the club~!

The tyre wont be obvious if you driving slowly and city ride.

Try it on the highway and raining day. You will see the difference. Stock Nexen water grip aint that good. So better drive abit slow during raining day.

congrats cyber...

and wow... light graphite looks pretty good for the Optima, at least in pictures.
on the Forte it can appear a bit "soft" under sunlight as it will show a violet tinge compared to the bluish-grey under fluorescent light.
