U need to ask Honda sa on that but it's common to put booking fees to secure your 'slot'. I heard sa in major cities are having as many as 30-40 bookings on average so booking now means you'll probably get it in 4 - 5 months down the road. Enough time for u to dispose your swift and get loan before your civic arrives.

Installment difference between mid and high spec is more or less rm90-100/mth. Most people won't mind the difference n will go for turbo premium. My sa also confirmed that premium has the most booking while the 1.8 the least.

I thinks we should make a list of owners / bookers. Need to state info such as model, color and which sa it was booked. For those taken delivery, they can state their booking date, duration and also date of delivery. This will help prospective buyers in buying decision.

FYI, I have the impression that smaller towns have way lesser on their booking list. Though their delivery quota might be lesser, I was told those booked 2 weeks back can get their car around Raya. That's pretty quick.

Myself I've booked 1.5t premium opwhite on mid April and scheduled to received around end of this mth.

The sa I went is not a branch so the allocation is not divided. Though their allocation is smaller, the waiting list is still much shorter because of lower volume. 2ndly prospective buyer might not be aware of it until it's launch or when they see one on the road.

In Feb? U saw the prototype online n went to book straight? Lol

Booking is first priority. Bank loan second. If u can't secure loan before the delivery deadline, then ur turn will be given to the next in the list. Just don't put too much expectations in their delivery estimations and promises.

If u opt for the 1.5t premium, SA will submit fb civic 2.0 navi which is rm135k for the bank to proceed with the loan application. Upon delivery, they will revert back to civic 1.5t in the documentation.

Hlb 2.9% for 7 years and 3.19% for 9 years. Applied Hlb only out of convenience but got to reconsider other banks now.

Hire purchase and housing loan are two different things bro.

When is the first batch getting?

Did they tell u when is the 1st n 2nd batch delivery date?

Same with my SA but didn't follow up recently so not sure when 1st n 2nd batch delivery date.

Pening now coz I'm tendering number plate and the closing date was yesterday. Worried about the opening date for registration if I got it.

Some said the it might take a month for jpj to clear the previous plate before I can register. Worried my SA wont keep my car at their showroom n give it to others.

Cimb can go as low as 2.7% for 9 years and 2.6% for 7 years and lesser. The final rate is based in applicants credit rating.

It's according to credit rating. If ur commitment is lesser than 40% of your income, no cris and good credit history then u should get. But the difference between 2.7% and 2.85% for 135k is only rm202.5/yr.

Wait, she's not working and she successfully applied a rm100k+ loan with u just being a guarantor?

U have to be pretty swell for that it happen haha.

For rm135k and 2.7%, u only pay an extra rm7k for the 2 extra years (9years) facility resulting in lower installment.

Imo it's worth it when considering we can have more cash to invest and enjoy much higher returns to cover the 7k.

Not forgetting this civic is going to ejoy strong rv so the additional rm7k interest won't hurt much.

I suspect it will match or better civic fd's rv. Fd's 1st few years depreciated only around rm5k/yr.

My SA just called saying the civic has arrived in their showroom but still not allowed to be displayed yet until Friday.

Just ignore them trolls.
