My inspiring moment today...nearly kena tangkap for running red lights....these cops are hiding behind the flyover near the junction between Damansara Uptown/Damansara Jaya near the LDP. I was moving quiet slowly near the traffic light (Saya Pemandu Berhemah™ ), suddenly see yellow, then step on it!!! Managed to reach the other side when it turns red...turn right and voila...tons of cops crawling there..one fat cop was literally glued to the flyover wall to catch people....luckily i didn't get stopped...coz i think i made it over just in time for the lights to turn red....hahahaha.

The Power of the MIVEC.™.  Run red lights with confidence.

These cops are there to look for drivers who use mobile phone without handsfree and without putting on seat belt, not running red light. Sometimes they will hide on the other side towards KL. Other hotspot is LDP turning into Persiaran Surian, Damansara Perdana turning into LDP towards Taman Tun Dr.Ismail.

Yup...booked a 2.0P...Plum Red

I signed the Vehicle Sales Order last week and today signed the 1st part of the Hire Purchase Schedule and paid the 1% booking fee.
I should get the car by end of next week...hopefully earlier. The amended Hire Purchase Act that came into force on 15 June is really slowing the process. The banks are so particular abt documentation now.

I took the 5 year warranty + RM 4k rebate option.

What about free services?

Why didn't you opt for 2.33% for 5 years loan instead of 2.92% for 6 years?

There are two options :

1) 5 year warranty + RM 4k discount
2) 5 year warranty + 5 year (or 100,000km) free service + low interest.

I decided to take Option 1. For me, it was better to use the 4k discount now and reduce the loan amount.
I looked through the '5 year free service' list and noticed the major service, such as CVT oil change and spark plugs will only be done towards 80,000km to 100,000km, which i thought was quite late to do so. Of course i could spend extra cash to do it earlier.

The 5 year free service is worth about RM3,900 and this is future costs saved if one is to go for Option 2. As one progresses in life, income also increases and therefore service costs can be covered. To me, it was better to offset loan amount now with RM4,000 discount as the savings is offered now and not in the future.

It will all depend on each individual...must do the numbers and see which is better   smile.gif

Cheers

Some body suggested that I look at the crazy promo from dealers at mudah.my and OMG one dealer offer rm6000 discount and another offer rm3k discount + 5year free service. Are they for real?

hey guy, I will going to buy Inspira 1.8CVT this saturday.
Today i go my hometown proton branch, the guy told me now offer new package with
RM4000 discount  + 5years warranty + 5years free service (worth RM3900 he told me).

later can join u all. smile.gif

If the offer is genuine then it is by far one of the best offer. Was offered on the phone similar thing last weekend by EON sale center in Larkin JB but after test drive and double check with memo, the salesman misunderstood the July Offer, which is:
option 1: 5 year warranty + 5 years free service + low interest
option 2: 5 year warranty + rm4000 discount + normal interest

So turnout June offer of rm5000 discount and 3 years free service and warranty was better but the offer has lapsed. Still couldn't decide to buy or not.

MGM: how many years warranty? still 5 years? I don't mind having a shorter period of free service, but I would want the warranty period to be longer.

Yeap basically what I was offered here was option 2, including free 5 years service. The rebate basically is more than the differential interest for the loan.

June offer was 3 years warranty and anyway the offer has lapsed.
I still couldn't get the offer of RM4000 discount + 5 years free service. Where did u get the offer?

Came back from Inspira Test Drive. I drove the 1.8 CVT. The result is, I feel I'm being poisoned slowly. I was driving uphill Balik Pulau (pg-nites will know about this), even though I'm cruising at 100km/h, still feel the car is going very slow. On highway, I bet if I'll definitely hit 130/140 without realizing it.

There's 1 major complaint about the car though, its the sound insulation. I can't really hear the sound engine sound, but I could hear the road sound very clearly.

The salesman told me that they don't use service vouchers anymore as everything is online. Is this true? I'll still double check my agreement to see if the 5 years service is in there to support my case next time.

About the color, is there such thing as metallic white? I asked him but he told me that the color is not available.

Anyway, he hinted to me there's something big with the Saga going to happen this weekend.

So what is the final offer from the SA?
