Just sharing...

Let me try to address some of your questions.
1. Generally continental cars workshops are perceived as not offering better service compared to local or japanese cars workshops. Reasons could be a) less workshops available - not enough man power or slots to look at each car thoroughly b) conti cars are more sophisticated (this is what you pay for), so there will be more areas for problems to occur. Remember the merc owner who smashed her windscreen in Penang SC? I have no other issues with my car, other than a small tyre pressure loss which cannot be detected using normal methods, I even sent to third party workshops, still undetected. After Christmas, I am sending in to Glenmarie overnight to check, this time specifically checking on valve. Hope they find the problem. This only happens to me, AFAIK.
2) I drive 408T. So, can't comment on this, but a new car should be smooth.
3) There are 2 important dates - manufacturing date and registration date. If you buy in Jan 2014, chances are the car is manufactured in 2013. Don't bother about resale value lah, you're buying a 2.0L conti car below rm100k, apa lu mau lagi?
4) No problem.
5) My battery died after 3k km. In my case, I use the USB port all the time to play mp3. It's under warranty, so I replaced the battery in SC. Some owners reported that they used the battery beyong 20k km.

Edit: I am even thinking of getting the 408 Griffe, if someone will give me a good offer.

any idea how it happened? aquaplanning at high speed?

IMHO...

Someone I know has this to say for RV: are you overpaying upfront in order to get higher resale value many years later?

A new Camry 2.0E costs RM145k. Specs wise: 4 gears, 16" tyres, etc.... 
vs 2.0NA costs 95k, more torque, almost same HP, 5 gears, 17" tyres, etc....

Both cars after 5 years, if the camry sells 50k more than the pug then you have more or less the same RV, but still different experience.

Anyway, I would still get a 408T, the feeling......priceless

Good luck, whichever you decide to drive.

EDIT: What I like about my 408T - large windscreen (it's not on any promotional brochures or reviews that I read, but get into the drivers seat to find out), 240Nm @ 1400rpm (overtaking or pickup in city-drive is a breeze), sports suspension - this means I can go over road humps at higher speed. FYI, Proton Satria has this too.

EDIT: what I dislike about my 408T - middle back seat is a hump, whoever sits in the middle won't be comfortable

hi all,

i just paid a downpayment for NA 408 at 95+k. Spent a long time reading all the reviews here.
I hope i am getting a bargain!
My question: I am thinking of changing the CD player to a navigation system with rear camera. The SC quoted me RM3300. But they can't really tell me what brand it is coz they claimed it just newly arrived. So, i am worried if they are going to give me some china brand and not sure this will void my warranty in future...

I plan to change all the bulbs to LED, it generate less heat than normal bulbs.
I not sure under warranty or not, but you can contact to SC.

Hi Chenglong,

I deal with Glenmarie SC. If I call the SA, she will ask me to send in to check first. Standard answer, that's why I don't call them

I will see what my car salesman can do.

Thanks.

Hi.

If you manage to claim it, you need to change the bulbs too, right? Or maybe originally it is like this.. otherwise, it will melt again..

Yeah I guess you're right, maybe I will just let it run until shit happens, then claim warranty or maybe pay a bit for the casing or change the entire brake light to a sexier unit?

LED, afaik, is also pretty hot, I have a 5W LED bulb at home for downlight, definitely can't use bare hands on it when it's hot. Maybe lower powered ones are not as hot?

I've changed mine. Got 2 years warranty for it. The reverse camera is quite good (pic very clear)..maybe due to the HD screen also. 

Came back home last night to find cement drops splattered across the roof and back bonnet of the car - can't remove them without causing scratches to the paint work.

Must've been from a cement truck that I drove past.

Sigh so sad...

White lion with mascara, nice. . How much it cost?

How much you paid and at which SC you get it installed?

Does the bluetooth audio (music and phone call) still works after using this?

Thanks
