Thanks bro. You, together with SkyJack and Lowpro were some of the people here whose knowledge and passion, impressed and convinced me. Appreciate your response.
With your input, I am now 95% steered towards 408T.
Hope for a couple more pointers from you bro...
1) In your opinion, is it worthwhile to get with this current year-end promotion? The 408T leather is going for Rm120,292.00 with overtrade & rebate of Rm19,000, taking it down to RM101,292. Or should I wait for next year and hope for CNY offers? I suppose the CNY promo will still be 2014 manufactured..so does it make a diff in resale value next time?
2) The SA in TTDI said there will not be any freebies. But I read in an earlier thread by JeffWong, he had smarttag, full tank, mat and such...I assume those are freebies thrown in by SA and also he mentioned tinting ( this I do not know if it is free) all done by his SA from Glenmarie before he collected the car. Should there be such differences? Should I get the car from Glenmarie as he suggested then? His reasons seems to make sense.
Sorry bro, for my naive and basic questions...am really a goondu when it comes to these things.
Hope for your further inputs.
Thanks once again. Cheers
The price offer in advertisements, is nationwide while the unmentioned freebies are usually given by separate dealerships and will differ from dealer to dealer. Best to do some shopping here. Some may even throw in cash incentives to clinch that year end sale (They are chasing for volume incentive).
Banks and used car dealers usually do not bother the year bought. They will just focus on year made so usually for the 1st quarter of each year, each car maker will still be selling the previous year made cars (not easy to forecast to sell off all 2014 stock by 31 Dec 2014).
So, IMHO, there is no issue buying a car now or in January. Just that in Jan, they MAY (MAY only) throw in just a little more to throw the previous year's cars. Or, the usual game is to sell with a different package but the overall cost to the company is still the same.
