More pissed off after found out another fella booked his white cfe in cheras at 19/4 already received last week...

Dealers as opposed to branches. Dealers can't give you the chassis number beforehand. I wonder if dealers located in KL or other cities ordered earlier in anticipation of the model selling well. Could be why some people receive their cars earlier.

Thanks but not sure if that source is reliable or not. So far, despite the number of bookings not being that overwhelming, delivery has been disappointing .. and without explanation.

.but i try to go up hill in Taman Cheras...*not enough power to go up - 3rd problem*

Is that the hill with many road humps? If so, then each time you slow down for a hump, Preve's heavy body makes it hard to pick up again.

The next thing is that will we see cheaper VW or VW having a stake in Proton after DRB taking over?

If VW comes in, we'll more likely see Protons becoming more expensive. According to this BT Report, VW is keen for Proton to go back to it's rebadging days. This should effectively kill off Proton's current idea of manufacturing it's own car.

Proton Edar Hi Spencer. The waiting period will be 1 - 2 months from the time your loan is approved. However we are increasing production to meet the demands and maintain quality while we're at it. Thanks

I found the above a good read. Not too sure if I agree with everything that's mentioned but it's generally agreed that before the first 1000km not to go outstation. Also a bad idea to use auto-cruise.

i thought this is just applied to older car. coz for new car, basically, the engine was already "break in" in the factory.

Even if there's such practise, I do not trust the reliability of those from the factory.

Is sierra glow really good for your preve?
I read that silicone makes your car difficult to respray. Check this:

As mentioned by Gigabit, it's silicon and not silicone.

so far I went to Air Itam branch, Greenlane's malay branch and Greenlane's chinese branch...
Greenlane's chinese branch giving more discount and better services.
smile.gif
*
I went to the dealer nearest to my place of residence.

* Ada discount = Tak ada

* Ada free gift = Tak ada

Asked on 3 different days for a chance to test drive and these were the replies I got:

* Today is holiday. Fella holding the key to the car isn't around. Sounds fair enough

* Fella is on leave today

* Tak boleh, test car need to go for service later. (as if the client wants to go outstation with the test car)


Immediately after that, I went to another dealer.

* Can test drive ka? Sure no problem.

* SA offered personal discount & free gifts also

Booked straight away. Loan not required. Proton Edar should really look into the people they appoint as dealers.

The first one is the stupid one i think... What say u if u could tell us its which Dealer/SA?

Just because it had 3 indifferent SAs, shouldn't mean the rest are bad. I'm not keeping my fingers crossed though ... but maybe one decent SA from the pack needs to cari rezeki. Not good to tell the name of the dealership but it's in Cheras.

Should be simple enough to unplug the odometer's cable so that it doesn't register any mileage. Can travel for thousands of kms and odo still show 15.
