Dealers actually earn less if you buy cash (They lose out a few hundred bucks commission from the bank), so there is no incentive to let them cut queue if there is already a waiting list.

That guy who jumped queue probably paid undertable money to the dealer to jump queue, like when back in the Proton Wira days.

Yep, AFAIK it's RM600 no matter the loan amount. It's a fee the bank pays to the dealer for their help in securing the customer and some paperwork.

The dealer must be having some desperate cashflow problem to have to resort to encouraging their customer to buy cash so the dealership can afford new stock

Most dealers I know have stockyard(s) almost filled with new cars; Stock shortage usually due to slowpoke manufacturer (such as the X50 is, in this case), not because the dealer can't afford to stock them.

In my personal experience, whenever the topic of cash buy is broached, the SA always encourage me to take a loan instead. One of them told me the rebates / free gifts will be revoked if I buy cash, another plead to me to take at least a 3 yr loan. RM600 is not a small amount for them.

On a related note, if you're buying cash, pay close attention to the invoice to make sure you are not charged an extra RM600 "handling fee". Because you're buying cash and they don't get that commission from the bank, some sneaky dealers try to charge the customer that RM600 instead. Be sure to clarify every single cent they billed to you.

S'okay feel free to not read it

You know this is a stock request form right? you know it's dated 9th Nov right?

So explain to me, if what you say is accurate, why are the cashbuyer (pre)orders dated 25/9 and 7/10 being sent out at the same batch as a loanbuyer who ordered on 31/10 (post-launch)?

Why are cashbuyer orders made in Sept and Oct going out with those loanbuyer LOUs who only arrived in November?

Why are cashbuyers who ordered before the launch, but their order is only going out on 9/11?

Did you just look at the order of the listing and immediately assumed cashbuyers got priority?

Pls enlighten me.

Nevermind the queue number don't even follow the dates amirite (for both cash and loan buyers)? I guess they just give them out willy-nilly. My points in the previous post still stand which you did not address at all.

Look, I'm just sharing my car-buying experience and what I know about how dealers work. I didn't say queue-cutting doesn't happen - there are a few reasons why latecomers got inserted in the middle of a queue, such as rejected/cancel loan bookings and cashbuyer swooping in to take the slot, for example.

But It's OK, I won't make accusations that Proton dealers have a policy of letting cash buyers hijack bookings unless there is solid proof. But then again I also won't post PnC customer listing with full names in a public forum to win internet arguments either .

So, you be you and enjoy the anticipation!
