Hi all,
Just a warning to all of you who are thinking of getting a 208 GTi spec (and maybe all Peugeot niche models like the RCZ):-
I had ordered a red GTi in late April and completed all necessary documentation and loan. In mid-May, I requested for change of colour to white and clearly asked that unit must be new unit and no display or demo stock. In late May, I was informed that a white GTi had been allocated. I was provided with a chassis number together with details on balance payments I need to make.
That same week in May when my unit was confirmed, there was also a roadshow by Peugeot held in 1 Utama. Many models were displayed there including my white GTi. How I know this? Because I checked the chassis number that was allocated to me to the unit on display (door panel) and it matched! I took photo evidence of this and made a complaint to the dealer because I specifically said I don't want display or demo units. The worst part was that all the interior door panels were scratched from peoples shoes and can see little kids pulling and pushing everything including the moon roof cover.
After a week of ding-dong, Nasim came back to say that they only willing to give a RM2,000 discount on the display unit allocated and polish the scratched panels (not even replace). No apologies given at all besides saying if want a new unit, wait another 4 months.
I'm so disappointed with the manner in which Nasim handle their sales, especially for their premium and niche units that I immediatly cancelled the order. The worst part was that although they refunded my deposit, they "makan" for number plate and runner fees to purchase the number plate (which I cannot even use because of their bluffing and cheating ways).
So a warning for everyone getting GTi or even RCZ units, better beware your car would have been molested by thousands of people in roadshows prior to delivery and complete lack of professionalism on Nasim's part.
Sorry to hear that bro. I had a hunch feeling about mine too initially.
Whn I got my car, it came with no mats etc all bundled still I'm its packaging, seats all covered in plastic and basically everything else clean. Odometer registered 30km but Nasim salesman told me its because of roadtest so I thought makes sense. But exterior or car unferunately d roof, under light reveals hair thin scratches which made me question if mine is a display unit whig was wiped over and over again? I told salesman u better not be selling me a display unit. He reassured etc that its not.
In hindsight as well I really needed a ride fast hence if time permitted I would probably do checks like you did. Only qc flaw I found out was the missing glove compartment air con valve which upon contacting my salesman, he nicked one for me from his display unit. Vicious cycle if that display was sold to someone else. Other than that no issue with the car and wrote to Peugeot to bring in Peugeot Apps and GPS for the 208 to which they called me and told me to stay tuned for updates and that if any available, they will contact all owners.
