I think the post-sst price 143k is without powerboot. If you want power boot, it will be rm145k.

Anyhow, I am not sure 100% of the car booked before September now fitted with powerboot. There are still some owners of cx-5 from Facebook group that got car this week without powerboot.

Last I was told.. 3 months.. But check with your bank. Normally, I wouldn't sign any loans until physical car allocated to you is present and ready for registration.

One loan officer told me the LOU is valid for 3 months, another officer from another bank told me 6 months.
It will be better to call the bank to ask.

After you sign the agreement, validity of the loan usually 3 months. But you can extend/renew the loan with the banker.

It may varies depending on the bank, but for my case (Ambank) they ask me to provide latest payslip then they will straight away extend the loan for another month. No need to reapply loan.

previously my SA told me the down payment need to be cleared then only can collect the car. so you can do the bank transfer now and once your car arrived just collect will do. or you also can bring cash for down payment when collect the car.

17” (2.0) or 19” (2.2 and 2.5) tyre?

Everyone has their own opinion but for Me personally coating is overrated & waste of money.

Better IMO to maintain your car with polish/wax every 2-4 months.
Wahhh thats is quite BAD. So sad to see this stuff happening to a new car.

But to note you, coating will never ever protect your car from any stonechip. Its just for cosmetic purposes.

PPF will do the work if you want to protect your car from stonechip, but its tooo expensive IMO.

I notice in FB CX5 group theres a post regarding this issue esp for SRC & theyre doing a formal report to Mazda, and also better if you can lodge a personal formal complaint to Mazda.
