According to the maintenance schedule I got from NazaKia, they are using Syntium 3000. RM 288.77 for the first service.

kepong branch parked 3 color there ..
like the platinum graphite
snow white pearl look great
Bright sliver easy to maintain ..

but i have decided sliver .. since a lot of ppls will go to white 

That low eh? Best offer i got for my 2003 Vios 1.5E is RM37K (trade in price).

bro K5WHITE, care to explain how u estimate this amount?

i was thinking is it good to dump DP = RM43888 or RM23888 since if i dump in RM23888 the balance RM20000 can b placed in the house loan.... hhmm... 
if based on the APR calculated by K5WHITE, the loan % between those 2 is not that significant

Anyone knows which SA from which showroom gives best offer?

Going to join you all soon. I am stay in Sri damansara too. Where you get your car tinted in kepong area?

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??

Guys, let me clear up something regarding Optima test drives. Both dealers and brances use customer cars at times for test drives. I know cuz i tested the Optima 9 times at different locations. Some branches and some dealers. I think sales ppl are desperate for sales and not many will take the risk and book an Optima without a test drive. So they go against their ethics and allow a few test drives but its normally reserved for potential customers whom they identify as serious buyers.

Kia TTDI and Kia Red Cube PJ both use customer cars for test drives. Same goes for Kia Ipoh. Sad but true.

3K more.

This color is nice ... Which showroom got this color?

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

Subjective question. Below is the mod on my list.

1. Sierra Glow; silica based paint protection (http://www.sierraglow.com/about/about.html)
2. Coil Mat; mentioned it at my previous post
3. Change the Kia Emblems (7 pcs); I got mine from Shark Racing
4. Change a more silent tyre; either Michelin Pilot Sport 3 or the new Goodyear F1
5. Getting Grounding cables, VS or Alternator Booster
6. Chrome door handle
7. Auto close side mirror relay kit
8. Front camera or sensor
9. Stabilizing bars; either import from Shark Racing or wait for Ultra Racing (not out yet )
10. Some sound proofing materials to enhance the listening exp from Infinity sound system; STP
11. Change a lighter Crank Pulley
12. A lighter 18" rim; most likely Enkei as the default rim weigh around 10kg/each.

Edit: Forgot the most important one; TINTING. Got my one from Raytech. Very very nice. And looking forward for dual exhaust system but certainly not for now.

i suggest u go thru this guy for raytech tint. i did same tint for my sportage for much cheaper price.

Bro, i can guarantee you 99% that your car has been used for tests. It may not be long distance tests but it surely has been used. If dealers/brances dare to use customer cars for tests due to insufficient test drive vehicles, do you think they will leave a 2011 model untouched? 

Btw, as far as i know only 2012 manufactured models have the rear blower. Did u see the actual AP certificate? Which branch is this anyway?

But i think the RM7K discount is still too low. Thats only 5%. The drop in resale value for the first year is approx 10-15% especially since this is Korean. So even though u get a discount now, but when u sell later on you will lose alot more. If it was me, i wont take anything below RM10K.

Jimz97,

Keep me updated on the tint. Im looking for the best tint deal as well.
Some one recommended me the Ecotint SC. best is RM2100. 10 years warranty

Front: 70% 3M Crystaline
Rear: 50% 3M Crystaline
4 Sides: 50% 3M Crystaline + 4 mil clear security tinting
Sunroof & Moonroof: 3M HP50
