Anyone knows if there's a "deadline" for pre-booking the car?

Off-Topic
Also, BuFung just noticed your sig... Serious liao? Who said that?

Interesting. Name Sifu sumore

Keeping on-topic, anyone knows if pre-booking is limited to a certain amount?

Hmmmm...Read about the article as well. Don't have time to go and book liao

Still deciding between black or white. I like black. But reading the comments in the prev thread, lots of people say white will look much nicer. Just don't want to have the yellowing effect though. Or the constant need to wax as was mentioned by someone in the prev thread

So more inclined on black atm.

Lol. Want to teach others but...epic fail. Heh. Like the previous troll-wannabe who uses a car to measure success. I pity the fool. Are we that pathetic nowadays? We measure a man's success, prestige and worth by the car he drives??? WTH happened to our generation? Oh lord. I really feel sorry for them

ANYWAYS, worried because I'm afraid that there will be a sudden spike of people ordering and I have to delay getting the car. I'm kinda 80% decided on the car already. Would really love to test drive the car first though. But takut if wait too long delivery will take too long

Plus, I'm of the opinion that the early batch would be better qc-wise. Problems could easily be rectified via warranty.

I think. Feel free to correct me though

I'm putting my money on proton going all out to salvage their reputation. I used to be a hater. Untill I saw the specs of this car. Heh.

Design shouldn't be a problem though right...I mean, there's warranty for that no? Or will it be too painful a process and I should just stick with my current car until they sorted things out.

I'm just worried that if I adopt later, the QC - after the initial good response (providing of course, that it was a big hit), they would start to cut back on it.

When you say problem with the design/chassis, what could go wrong eh?

On a different note, does anyone know when they would actually get the results for the NCAP testing?

PS: Appreciate your posts btw. Informative like Mat's mostly. Wish there was a way to like/rep up posts in the forum

Like mastercard advert I don't mind being the white mice though...provided my car don't go boom on me

What ruffstuff said did hit a chord though. What if there's a fundamental flaw in the design itself. Hmmm...Decision decisions.

No leather seat! Looks like will have to re-upholster the car leh. Damn mafan. Haih.

That wouldn't void the warranty though right?

Regarding the Japanese and Korean cars...would you really bother with the cars though? Honestly, it's like neither here nor there imho. Wanna say cheap...not really cheap. There was a discussion about how much the prices were jacked in the previous thread wasn't it? I mean, if you really wanna spend, might as well get a proper german.

And since there are some individuals who think the car maketh the man, might as well go for a bigger "wow"factor. Heh. My two pence worth.

I think if Proton screws up again this time round...very hard to get back the public approval. I see a lot of haters giving this P3 a chance. They had better get it right.

I used to be very much against proton. Heh. Giving them a chance now. The specs for this P3/Preve is too good to pass up.

A lot of people prebooked liao. I also want!

Contemplation, contemplation

QFT. My A6 is a big fan of my mechanic's workshop. Dunno go in and out how many times dy. Bloody hell but parts for Audis are hard to find. Need to go around find half cut cars for best price/part ratio

On the other hand, my old iswara is still kicking with gusto. May not be the most comfortable of rides, but hell, it gets me from Point A to Point B. Rosak oso much cheaper to fix. Parts easily available too. And not too much of downtime in the workshop while waiting for parts to arrive.

Another QFT moment.


So, regarding re-upholstering the car...would that void Proton's warranty? Anyone care to shed some light?

Hmm..I guess that would be a problem with black cars. Dust is very noticeable. It's so much better at absorbing heat. Haih. Looks nice though.


I take it proton don't have the pearl white option?

What are people's thought on brown on the P3? Coz I think it looks quite nice on the Exora. The new top-of-the-line one.

Anyone rajin enough to render it on photoshop?

To those that booked the car, does anyone know what are the documents needed for placing an order for a company? As in, the finances would be handled by the company but the car will not be listed as a comercial vehicle.

God, I don't even know if I make any sense

I lost the card for the SA at the Jalan Ampang branch. Any good ones to call?

Thanks for the input guys. Btw, izputra, if my company is taking the loan for me, do know what do I need? My accounts seem to be a bit clueless in this area

Also, if submit salary slip, proton will do the loan for you? I thought loan have to take yourself?

Btw, guys, we're here to talk about the car - not each person's political preference - there's RWI for that. Keep it clean lah. Later thread gets closed liao

Erm. No. It's sort of a company car So the loan will be paid for by the company. Wondering how the dynamics work though...

Anyways, I didn't know that the SA could do that. Quite interesting. I guess I'll just ask our branch lor if that's the case True about the price. A bit hard to find out the correct interest rate

A bit of a silly question - doesn't matter right whom I book the car with? No added frills for different SAs right?

Thanks for the info man

Ah...I see. I guess I could ask whomever I find to check out the loans for me too Thanks for the info!

Damn. I'm over 6'. How leh? Driving the car shouldn't be a problem right? I got longer legs than the average person


FINALLY it has been named! w00t. Here's an e-cookie to the person who guessed it right

Oooh. Thanks wei!

Jalan Ampang! Hey mind sharing the guy's name/contact number if you go there? Haven't the time ler...

Alamak. That's a long, long time to come. Gotta make time to go there then

This CoSE...is it the big ass proton place along the Kesas Highway?

Yeah...Guess I should tell my staff to mind the fort while I go out Shah Alam expressway should be the Kesas highway. Damn, that's gonna be long ride. Haihhhh.

Not sure if sarcasm...

O_o

or really fooled by the shop'd photo




Anyways, really noob question. Does it matter where I make the preorder? In terms of collection of the car and whatever else that would matter.

Guys, quick question:

Are the showrooms open on Sunday? Wanna go book mine, but really don't have time liao

To be more specific, is the showroom in Ampang open on Sunday?

Damn my schedule!

Haven't had time to book liao

Read in the last few pages that you can ask the SA to give you this and that ah? What can you usually squeeze from them?

Oi oi! Serious meh can "squeeze" them for those stuff? Or is this just some form of wish list

I wouldn't mind #2. Or if it's a female SA... "Can I squeeze something else instead? *sly wink*"

Can still squeeze oso ma. Just squeeze different place

This thread just became PG-13

Eh see what you can squeeze then let us know? Maybe can use as protip later when I finally have time to go do my booking

Wah! Where'd you go and what's the person's name? I want liao. Hahaha

UGPM

Thanks man. Never knew there was one closer to home. Gonna go check the proton homepage see if can get any info there. Silly me never thought of that before

EDIT: Typo. And found the store locater thingy. Honestly, would prefer they list out instead of having to input date. Makes ctrl+f easier imho.

Thanks again valence!
