Registered? Loan running but don't want car? Dafuq?
Try to check the odometer.. I find this hilarious..
Most probably is a test drive car, I suspect he is not being honest. brows.gif

its a pre reg car bro.
this is because dealers have quotas to meet at each period to get a certain profit.
so if they are desperate, they prolly will pre register the car and leave it lying at the showroom.
since its pre reg, depreciation kicks in and thats why you got a good deal.

check the ODO, see the millage, shouldnt be that much tho, prolly 100km?

seems like a good deal to me

Hello all.

I'm 90% into buying a Forte. As I keep on reading about this car, i notice a large amount of complaints on rattling/squeaking sound from various parts in the car. Some can be solved and some remains a mystery still.

But most of these reports are from Forte owners from 2010/11. Are the issues still persist in 2012 products?

Thank you in advance.
*
i would like to know too. thanks.
any problems in the 2012 model?

Mine 1.6sx (sept 2012) so far the rattling issue can be heard but not too obvious (not a big issue for me yet) & no other minor issues so far. for fc mine 9.5-10/100km (mine is 100% city drive) & yes the only thing unpleased me is the HU radio reception. there is one forte owner in fb changed his HU motherboard at galaxy (FOC) & the reception getting better now. havent had my time yet to go there.
*
the fc not bad oso for a 1.3tonne car for 100% city drive leh.

im still waiting for a better deal prolly next month or so for a 1.6sx. hehe
wish me luck icon_idea.gif

Guys, my radio reception is poor and most of the time the volume goes up and down. Is this normal or is there any solution for this. Appreciate if someone out there could share their experience before I refer it to the SC.
*
there were previous posts about this as well. just click a few pages back.
those facing this problem they highlighted it to the SC and changed the motherboard of the HU and voila, problem solved.

if ur not going to sell ur car in 5 yrs, resale value is not an issue
u can do some calculation to show ur dad

Assume that u pay 10% down payment, interest rate 2.5%, 7 yrs loan and sell the car after 7 yrs
u pay total of RM158,577 for civic 
u pay total of RM113,203 for forte

i duno wats the resale value of civic n forte after 7 yrs, i assume -50% and -70% for civic n forte respectively,
u sell ur civic at RM68,500 - end up u pay RM90,077 in 7 yrs
u sell ur forte at RM29,340 - end up u pay RM83,863 in 7 yrs
if really wanna compare forte vs city (which i wont compare at all due to diff seg), of coz u will enjoy lower fc and u pay less after 7 yrs if use the same calculation as above. But, to me, i would say the emotional value can cover all this and even can 'earn more'. For example, we eat a Rm10 spaghetti at hawker and RM40 spaghetti in a dining place, end up not only to fill up our stomach but also our feeling (the environment), taste etc
