dear bros,

looks like my car purchase is delayed again...

anyway, i have a friend, who booked a car, loan approved and dealer said car is ready, but dealer wants him to bank in the 10% downpayment first to dealer company for registration purposes, etc...

is this safe/proper? thanks!

is it to the company account or personal account ? if company account should be safe. because i was doing the same thing before

he said is company

open a cheque to the company name. then get the booking and payment receipt. shud be fine

Hi Jim, I'm interested to get the 2.0 Sedan. Still possible to get the old price for 2012 stock? And also what's your best deal?
Thx.

last time i bring cash and pay direct to my dealer cashier

so i can tell her its pretty safe, as long as its a cheque to the company name?

also, upon payment of the same, can immediately sign loan agreement, register car and get the car on the same day?

Hi Bro, already pm'ed you..

Actually I believe they just want it as an assurance in case the buyer last minute decided not to buy the car. I did not pay my down payment till the same day before I collect my car, but since it's a company account.... it should be safe

Hi all,

New proud owner of Mazda 1.6 Sedan (Black) reporting.

Was considering the 2.0 before but since I just bought new house, so can't afford it. Huhu.

Anyway just want to ask. I saw the the meter for 2.0 is 'prettier' than the one in 1.6. It is possible to change the meter?

TQ.

Dont thing too much la my friends
just enjoy your new zoom zoom

not much talk about servicing.

Anyone has experience with other service centers in PJ/KL besides the one at Lot 219 (besides Fed Hgway)?

My past 2 experiences (for my 1st and 2nd service) with them is not too fantastic. The super slowness and the tidak-apaness of their customers is one of the major concerns. Besides my own experience, from my observation while waiting, most of the time, if you enquire whether the car is ready, they will have to 'hunt' for it in the service area.

As for my own experience, I was told that my car was at the wash area and it will be ready soon (as told by the SA). After waiting for almost 20 minutes, then only I realised (when I overheard another SA telling another customer) that the SA that had attended to me earlier had gone on break and didnt bother to hand over my case to another SA. So I had to harass another SA to find out where my car was. A good 20 mins later, he told me my car was ready. FYI, I went to collect my car at 1245 and left the service center at 215. I saw that on the job sheet that my car was done at 1pm.

Perhaps I would try another center next time. Someone who may be looking at this and working or have links with the said center, please bring this up to the service manager (I will also send off an email to Mazda). Keep your team effective and efficient! Perhaps make a trip to other service centers of other makes to find out how they handle their customers instead of giving me an impression of headless chickens trying to locate where our cars are.

If anybody wants to provide feedback to me, please PM me so that I can compile a list of negative or positive feedback to Mazda.

oooooo

I agree that Mazda is still lacking in their service... they're very very slow.. my experience with Ampang also very bad.. last service took more than 3 hours for 40K service... I wonder if it is normal for Mazda??

Ya, BERMAZ totally spoil the Mazda brand. Their staff training is not professional enough, service still have room to improve.

Is 1 of the reason that make Mazda not selling hot in Malaysia. They should take note about that.

Anyhow, i still like Mazda ^^ zoom zoom

Wah so sad lar to hear all this. I'm waiting for my ride to come in soon and all this story make me scared already. Later they usik here and there rosak the whole car.

Yeah I think complain is good because at least we all know now if possible to stay away from this particular SC.

Anyway is there any other place for service that M3 owner can recommend? Good to share will everyone here.

so far I m happy with my 1st 10k service in PJ service center. Took me around 2 hour to finish everythin.

any major/minor complaints abt the car bro?

Yup I should just enjoy the ride first.

My M3 already clocked about 500km but so far I think I'd never go above 100km/h as I'd been driving around town only. No opportunity yet to floor the pedal. Huhuhu.
