It will still be labeled as a used car where banks and valuer will value the used car according to the age of the car not how many hands it has been changed. It's just marketing gimmicks by used car dealers to push down the seller's price. Option 2 seems viable, but looks like Owner still wants some extra cash compensation though. Well cant have best of both worlds, at least settle for one that is the most reasonable.

QUOTE(alpha0201 @ Apr 15 2013, 11:58 AM) MMM offer used unit as a replacement. But they didn't specify what "used" is. Showroom unit? Testdrive unit? Used car from 3rd party used car dealer unit? Either case still better than a repaired accident car lor (unless the used car they offer her is an accident car also, then really facepalm). I think this is the best compromise, short of giving her a new car, and I really don't think they will give her a new car. |

Customer complain brakes tak makan at 120km/h, they go and test drive 150km/h then emergency brake, issit justified? Even ABS don't need to go that fast to trigger. Maybe they wanna test airbag working or not. |

I don't think they went that fast... It's probably a car that doesn't handle so well during cornering.
I'd love to know what happened to the mechanic and what he has to say. |

Passing motorists dragged the three men out of the burning car. The driver of the car, identified as Wong Lam Kit, 23, and mechanic Chin Wai Keong, 28, have been admitted to the KLH. They, too, had gone on a joyride in somebody else's car. “We will investigate if they had taken the car without the permission of the owners,” City traffic police (acting traffic investigations division head) Asst Supt Rizal Abdul Rahman Sidek said. The accident prompted SMART highway authorities to temporarily close the tunnel until 9am yesterday. [The Star Online] |

QUOTE(dares @ Apr 15 2013, 10:49 AM) I think MMM have offered a few options that are quite fair, IINM. Personally I would take option 2, as long as the warranty for the replacement used vehicle still stands. Whether or not the car is sold as third-hand later on does very little harm to the resale value. Sounds reasonable and fair. I wouldn't mind taking up Option 1 personally, but all are acceptable.» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « A new car as compensation seems unrealistic and opportunistic, IMO. After all, the car IS already 2 years old - if newly registered then different story. Imagine what could transpire behind the scenes if MMM gives a new car in this case - people who want a new car can just pay an official service center's mechanic to crash their 2-year old cars to be compensated with brand new ones. Sounds farfetched, but anything can happen. This post has been edited by nerd: Apr 15 2013, 06:46 PM |
