Interesting article:

Yes i wont get excited by bookings. Many of these 1,600 ppl might get rejected cuz many of them dont even know about the new rulings. By the way, its not just based on 1/3 income. You gotta deduct your other loans, credit card hutang, etc from that nett income and then 1/3 that amount.

Just ignore this loser. He is being trashed on many threads hence why he runs for cover elsewhere. Just ignore him. He's just another low life liar. Claiming he owns a Merc C250 CGI but cant even afford his own property. Still renting at Casa Kiara 2.

Seems like the new upcoming Proton Preve 1.6L Turbo is getting quite good reviews. Plus it seems quite value for money (RM 75,000) considering the specs ure getting.

14) European handling

The info was not specifically meant for you. Just general information for everyone.

Yes this happened on 21 March 2012 in the US. Lady driver.

All SA's will claim to have good sales. Every showroom ive been to (other makes included) have always claimed good sales. So i will always take that with a pinch of salt. Bookings also may be high but how many actually translate into actual registrations? Many of those bookings are ppl who arent aware of the new BNM ruling.

Btw, there will never be any discounts or freebies for new launches. Discounts are usually offered to boost sales or to clear stock and this will only come later.
