i am ok if they delay my car (or chassis). problem is the SA said chassis reserved, went to pay the d/p. few days later said proton screw up and make mistake in the chassis allocation vmad.gif

now the money already transferred to them (~ rm 20k) which could have been used to save my housing loan interest rate (mine is flexi loan) cry.gif

I just tembak them and said, "is this the first time you guys deal with proton? don't tell me you don't know there is this possibility and make sure you check on your side to double confirm first?"

I have a gut feeling they have cash flow problem and want to use my d/p somehow

Actually I did call the bank if i can hold (not cancel) the cheque but can't. only way is to cancel which will cause me RM 20 to cancel + I need to go to the showroom to sign some stupid papers. Don't want to waste my time on this kind of things, so I treat it as a lesson learned for me

This tyre is it good? I'm planning to swap to Michelin xm2 when I got mine. Been using them for sometime and really satisfied with them.

guys, pls dun get me wrong. i juz want to share.

from my observation/reading online/asking people, seems its always better & safer to buy proton cars from proton edar. my findings:
1. pe (proton edar) is a part of proton, so its like u r buying directly from proton, without any middle-man.
2. pe delivery of stocks r based on orders, while dealer usually buy in bulk. so pe cars r 'fresher'.
3. due to this stock-pile practice by dealer, few 'problems' might arises, ie; battery connector is loosen, dealer exchange faulty part from another car to another, dealer give/exchange cars with other dealer resulting in someone have to drive the car, etc.
4. pe cars usually have very minimal milage due to they were sent by trailers directly fr factory. literally, they were never driven on road.
5. pe dun have cash-flow problems.
6. pe sc seems slightly better (i solely based this on the fact that most 'not using 10w30 oil' cases happened at non-pe sc's).
7. pe = proton = 100% genuine parts = no worry.
8. the pe sales i went to have: coffee girl (she will ask u, 'nak minum apa encik?'), a mini office of cimb (for faster loan processing) & direct link to the proton internal system (can check everything there, no need to refer elsewhere).

all these r based on my personal obsevation only. pls correct me if i'm wrong.  notworthy.gif

Well, my case is handled by PE Taman Megah. I actually found this showroom from Proton's website

not all dealers buy in bulk. My dealer also order stock according to demand. Therefore normally, the car will be passed on to customers hand a few hours after turun from trailer. biggrin.gif

Already make an official complain to I-care. Let's see how the drama unfold

Either Proton admit their mistake to allocate the same chassis to 2 dealers or the PE need some short term cash injection

##########

Dear Sir/Madam,

On xxx, I went to Proton Edar dealer showroom at Taman Megah (Atiara Otomobil Sdn Bhd) and booked a Exora Bold Premium Silver color

On xxx, I went to the showroom to place my downpayment of about RM xx k (by cheque) when the Sales Executive (xxx) that handled my case told me the chassis number had been allocated to me. I also signed the loan document at that time

About 2 days later, he called me again and told me that Proton had made a mistake by allocating the same chassis number to 2 different showrooms and at the end, I am the one who didn't get the car and the delivery will be delayed for a while (production can't get enough throughput)

I am furious not because my delivery was delayed than originally planned, but I am furious that I have to put down a down payment with the thought that the car had been reserved for me but in the end due to Proton's mistake, my deposit is now taken (which I could have use it to reduce my housing loan interest) but I can't get the car. And the problem is, I can't get any assurance when the car can be delivered

I have called xxx from I-care to complain about this and the Report No is xxx

I want to know why Proton can make such simple mistake and what action is Proton going to take to resolve this

Thanks

Hi .....

I'm new Exora bold user from Penang.... Book the car on ~May 15th and got to drive the car on 2nd June.

The Exora is an addition to my current ride - Toyota Unser and Volvo 850 T5 ... still haven't decide if will let go Unser or not
smile.gif .

My first impression of the Exora was .... Woww .... what a good deal for RM80k. Not bad for something coming from Proton, to be honost it is above my expectation for power, space, comfort and accessories ...could it be because I have low expectation for Proton in the first place?

I have not experience any of the problem that were discussed here. Touch wood, hopefully it will stay that way for long. If the car can stand next 3-5 years with normal wear and tear and no major problem then I'm very satisfied with my choice.

Have driven the car down to KL, back to Penang then To Kota Bharu and back to Penang. The ODO clocked ~2,300 km as of now. No complaint on the power and negotiating the bend on east-west hwy to Kota Bharu Kelantan. I can't drive per the highway limit @ 110 as it will be dangerous for me - becoming very SLEEPY, bUt I won't go beyond 160km either on MPV (I enjoy volvo @ 180). As long as I can cruise at 130-150 is good enough for me, which I feel the car is more than capable to do so with comfort and confident.

On the minus side I feel the car body is not very solid (safety wise), the paint is thin and the engine insulation can be better. HOwever to think otherwise I do enjoy the engine sound when pressing hard the peddle.

What a lame excuses.. Now that the preve' orders hit the 10k mark, which shares the same engine & tranny
with EB.. I presume, they could not care much.. Anyway, writing to I-care is a good try. Good luck, bro..
