NIL ... sad.gif
HM said nothing can be done anymore. I have spent too much already. Coz upgrade from K3 to K5 and I still can't settle my previous car (no new owner for that car yet). LOL! so, practically now i am paying for two cars installment every month sweat.gif

But if u ask me what's my wish list, then probably upgrade the console to have build in navigation and larger screen for the audio system kua.

2ndly might consider sound proofing ... the car can be quite noisy especially when i want a quiet and peaceful ride (whenever i want to do some thinking in the car) and normally i will turn off the radio. But after hearing all the noise then i better turn on back the radio. LOL

Hi jootat, if upgrade to navigation or dvd those will void any warranty?
*
what i understand from the Bangsar TDC salesman, they got those authorized dealer for that. And if we send our car there, then it will not void the warranty. But i never follow up with him anymore since i never bought my car with him. I think MyK5Club fan page would have a lot of sifu to advice u on that if you are keen smile.gif For me, not so soon or it will never happen. hahaa ...

even the photo shows no one dare to park beside k5...

y leh ..???

I think just coincident ba ... the white K5 usually won't parked there but that day when i am leaving the office then i saw he parked beside me then i just can't stopped myself from snapping this photo using my phone.

Although we got a reserved parking but not dedicated lot. And we have somehow used to park at the same spot everyday. Both K5 hardly park together only for that particular day ... smile.gif

have u tried myk5club in FB? I think there are more active than here bro. Sorry to hear the bad news but hopefully u will get a real buyer that will appreciate ur car and continue to love the car. My bro is looking for 2ndhand K5 but i think his budget is lower than 120K. So i think he is not ur potential buyer or may be u just PM me ur best price, and i will try to ask him if he still interested.

Just to share that new JPJ ruling require road tax to be cancelled before insurance policy of a car can be cancelled. This is affecting cases for trade-in used cars and for NCB transfer to the new car. To cancel the road tax, the owner must produce the original registration card and original road tax disc at any JPJ office. In the past, you can cancel the insurance policy and maintain the road tax.

bro ... just wondering what's the procedure if i wanted to switch car plate between two cars? Let say both cars also registered under same name. Possible? And what's the cost?

Not possible to exchange if both cars are already registered. It must be one new (unregistered) and one old.

arhh ... ok. I never thought of that when i didn't managed to get my number the other day! too late then!

There is however a way to Interchange for only ONE unit of your car, if you decide to buy a new number, which appeals to you. You can technically "Buy" the documents for a new Motorbike and do the interchange via the motorbike. Motor shop owners are more than willing to just sell you the documents for the bike, but you need to pre-sign the ownership transfer papers and "resell" the motorbike to the next owner. For the next owner of the bike, it may be secondhand on paper but it is physically brand new, plus he gets a hefty discount from the shop. Unfortunately, you need to bear the cost of this interchange process which is more than 1K. Let me know if you are interested.

thanks bro for helping me on this. at 2nd thought, i don't think i am able to do that anymore. I have already engrave the number to my mirror already cry.gif cry.gif cry.gif thx again for ur help bro.

hmm i hope to have more feedback on this. if interest so high, then makes not much difference to buy a new car at 1.88% already..

also, how much does a normal service cost? i see from 1st page, it says RM300+ right?
*
with such low interest, i think buying 2nd hand is not worth it unless u really get a very good deal. And don forget 2nd hand car u not sure what happened to the previous owner. a lot to consider.

QUOTE(Buydirect @ Aug 2 2013, 12:04 PM)
Will PM to you the actual cost. Thanks.

tq bro ... i got ur pm. Thanks!

QUOTE(pisces88 @ Aug 2 2013, 06:33 PM)
i see.. this is one of my concerns before getting a car.. how much on average is the major one? 1k?
*
not only service, the car insurance and etc also something u might want to consider. fuel consumption as well. every month u will have extra expenses for all these.

Can get a brand new 408t for that price. Optima is certainly a pretty face,but test drive the 408t and you'll realize how much better this car is! Engine and gearbox are smooth as silk,Optima's engine sounds harsh and crude!
*
hmm ... no offense ya, actually K5 engine sound is acceptable la, but in terms of handling, may be it still has rooms for improvement. Never tested 408t, so can't comment. But the look already turn me off. yawn.gif

Since i am not a fast driver, city drive sometimes 100 - 120, occasionally will go up to 140 depending on traffic and also occasionally will swing from left to right (overtaking cars when meeting some stupid drivers who donno how to give way), i think acceptable for me la. Btw, only when driving alone i will do that, and when i am doing that i turn my volume louder. Other than my crystal clear music, i don hear anything else. laugh.gif

QUOTE(erictoh84 @ Aug 10 2013, 04:45 AM)
guys, anyone can share the average fuel consumption for city drive for k5? i have been driving a FD1 for 7 years now and i'm getting around 21cents/km. i'll be happy enough if it hits 18cents for a new car (though i feel there are very less possibility that it may happen smile.gif )
*
Really much depends on how u drive also sometimes. I think u can get around 10 - 11L/100KM (Heavy Footer) or maintain below 10L/100 (like me half city half highway). My current reading 8.2L/100KM since last week the traffic is quite smooth. smile.gif

I can understand your point. To some ppl looks more important than performance and handling.

Part of the reason why the engine sounds harsh is because its underpowered so when you floor the pedal, you can hear the engine straining. But when idling the engine is quieter than a 408. But during cold starts, yes the engine is quite rough. I do agree that Kia should have done a better job with the engine and transmission in line with all the other upgrades. Hopefully future models will be better.
*
I thought part of the harsh sound is due to the GDI engine (Gas Direct Inject) That's what i understand from reading up ... lol ... It only has that tiger roar sound when you press the pedal hard while overtaking. Usually, it's quite ok one wor ... Din noticed any noise.

Someone pls correct me if i am wrong ...
