The problem is the Gov got no foresight, why wasn't this taken into consideration when they first priced the car? Before that, heard that Naza could have priced the car lower than the initial 143K but because of certain quarters, they set the price at 143K to make it 'competitive'. Teana is priced even lower, why didn't they complain about that as well. Specs are secondary in this case as the refinement of a Teana outshines the specs. Now when T launched their new model and have to price it higher, they complain about pricing. Why can't the govt stand firm to their decision seeing that T has the upper hand in terms of branding ...typical flip flop policies..

how do we know the govt is playing the game? all i see is, hearsay. ur SA told u, forum told u. somebody told u etc etc etc. if the govt is responsible then why nobody cares about teana at 136k? dont tell me it is because teana is worthless at such price the specs are not good at all? people still buy teana. it cud be not as hot as K5 but if one thing is sell able at lower price than k5 and people dont care, it cant be right govt is responsible for this. i am not backing the govt. all i care is we need to know who is playing us.

so if NAZA can set the price lower then why not at teana's bas 136k? directive again? all hearsay. and T getting the blame as well? hishh. u know it cud be NAZA is playing the game. NAZA see the sales are very good and they themselves compare k5 to basic spec Camry, then they realized how rubbish their profit is. they cud have 20-25k profit. why settle for less if u can have more? why so stupid u may say if price higher people sure no buy. they are not stupid all the time they just stupid at the beginning and with a very long list of bookings and vast interests, u cant blame them for wanting more profit.

of course thats hearsay as well. so if u cant accept my version of hearsay, surely u cant accept other versions of hearsay.

the other thing i was like rclxub.gif is the story about NAZA kinda 'cheat' the govt for bringing CBU but priced at CKD price. 'cheating' is a massive blunt word and i am not saying they are but thats the closest i can think of right now. how on earth it was done? i cant stomach it at all.



get the stories right. i am sure at this IT age (and backstabbing), people know where to dig. and dig we have to. a sign of great civilization is smart consumerism

the fact that matter is, will u want to wait for ANOTHER 3 or 4 months? doesnt matter it was 1 month or 2 weeks. a promise is a promise and this is one of the many lackings we are having here in malaysia. customer always expected to pick up the shite no matter what. they say customer always right but now not only they are wrong but customer cannot do anything except ... being pushed right left front back. u must punish who cant deliver, afterall it just a goddaymn car. ur heart no longer longed for it.

i'm all for smart consumerism. so my advice is, give ultimatum to u urself and to them. wa want to trust the system but in the end we need to look after ourselves as well. so, deliver the car by this date and so and so. if they cant do that, ask refund all that been paid. i know some of u may dream about k5 but what for if the heart is no longer with it? a refund some come within 2 weeks minimum or 1 month maximum. a refund is a confirm thing. u get ur money back. 508 is just as nice as a k5 plus minus the flaws and good here and there

i like the thinking of devil98. who comes first gets his money. with due respect to k5, i think it is a good vehicle but what for want it if you only suffer?

This has become funny,really. Theres a bunch people here bought the car then talk all moon n shine about it.
Another corner is people who are angry about the shoddy treatment they got from dealers who -there is no other way to say it- lied to the f face
then the owners here tried to play down the lie cases and cover up whole thing just to chill potential buyers. The reason is i believe not to cause panic and scare others and at the same time to save their own ass for being lab rats
one fella even pushed the foruming to a whole new level by constantly and actively bashing a rival model.

A wise act wud be wait till next week as many are promised they will get the cars.a little more wait shudnt be a problem but come next week still no car, then u are advised to pull out all deposit and booking.

Somebody has to pay and it has got to be NOT u.people already bought the car must face the risk of it being rendered worthless down the road.probably change of official brand distributor or worse no more distributor at all.

Your is 90km, me lagi power 150km when i collected my car, may be from port klang to puspakom somewhere,then found there no place to park then drove to kl, who knows kl puspakom machine rosak so drive back to klang, so end up 150km lo, i think only huh
*
the branch or naza or KIA have to answer this
i am not poking fun at KIA or the owners but with regards to comments about alleged superb services i read, i think ODO at 150km when collecting the supposedly new car is fishy.
and if they really do their job well, explaining 150km mileage on a super new undriven car should be easy and convincing.

I have to disagree on this. K5 in m'sia are completely CBU, hence need to be driven to puspakom for inspection. And depending on showroom location, the distance to nearest puspakom can varies. Plus, the car is shipped in through port, and not all cars are trucked to showroom, some are driven by "despatch". I have known a despatch who drive these CBU cars from port to jalan 222. He told me, luxury cars oso like that, and most of the time at night. Well, no price for guessing how fast they deliver, with incentive the faster u deliver, the more cars u can deliver, the more allowance u get. Plus, those cars aint 1.6 NA cars drool.gif

However, im not writing off completely that the K5 are not being "borrowed" for test drive thou, im just giving my input

u just made it worse icon_question.gif
a new car possibly been driven.
and driven fast? hmm.gif

but nevertheless seek why the ODO is 150km already. the explanation given should be an indication of after sales, services.
and if what K5WHITE told 'maybe really happening' then the owners can trash the car from day 1 no need to wait 1000km drive slow slow anymore.

i only speak of what i know...for worse or not, u all judge

and not all cars are driven from port...big volume prolly they truck it, or maybe sometimes, urgent
but ODO still not over 1000km even if it is driven, why wanna make it worse and thrash ur OWN car?
*
the word trash does not mean something like throwing it aside or neglect it or anything like that
the word thrash i meant no more waiting 1000km to go full throttle like people always do when they buy a new car. i dont know what the exact term but during before 1000km they usually dont go speeding

of course this is not something scientific. it just what people do.
