yeap yeap it's perodua again...
if given a choice, who would you go for?

for branch,
the advantage would be brand new car sent by their lorry to the respective branches.
the disadvantage would be the lesser discount/freebies

for dealer,
the advantage would be more discounts and freebies compare to the branch.
the disadvatage would be the salesman might speed up your car and drove it all the way from rawang to their branch.

though some salesman claimed that they have lorry to fetch over these cars, who knows right?

i went over to a dealer today and realize at the tyre surface, there are no "hair". only possible explanation is those sales people drove the car to their branches, rather than it's sent by lorry. but the sales people claimed that the car was in such condition when it's prepared in perodua factory.

well, not sure if this is a concern to you all. some people might say 'hey it's stil a brand new car. who bothers how the car arrive". do come vote.

but hor think of it, if can get more discount/freebies, why not the dealer right? i mean when u get ur car, u'll use it and ur tyre will wear off without the "hair" sooner or later also loh...

i guess the concern is, whether or not those salespeople got speed your car or not during the delivery...only worried if they speed more than 100kmh....
usually car within 5000km, betta keep it less than 100km right...hehe...
good for engine warm up i heard....

yea, those tinting freebies not worth. tat's why u chk with them how much it worth. say rm200 or rm300, use that money and get a betta brand and inform the salesman u pay for the rest...haha, tat's what i do.

anyhow, from rawang to klang valley, it's common to speed at 100kmh in the highway right? who wanna drive 90kmh?

but is it worth the effort?

for me,
branch would be better la

y?
at least i know my car is not deserted in some car park for months (like in dealer case)
the dealer usually need to stock more cars (to get better offer from Perodua?)

then i dont want the dealer logo/brand on my car
no autobinee, pesara wira, etc...

prefer stock form icon_rolleyes.gif

(maybe no discount, but i know my car is manufactured 1 month before i buy it)
consider newly comeout from factory thumbup.gif
