Bro... U said tat u took the Rm850 honda promotion rite... So wat is the loan rate u got??? Do u mind tell me how long and how many % u got??? Stil not yet settle my loan yet even though i book since last month...

yup. u want me to call him or u give my number to him?
is this for honda dsi 2.18% rate charges.?

my agent said there's no discount for this new promo .. because the rate is already low.

is it true?

tmrw will go to cheras showroom and check...

Anyone who owns the new Civic here?

How's the fuel consumption like?

There is a dedicated forum for Honda Civic owners here...U should be able find your answer there. Here is Honda City

A proud Honday City owner since March...

Satellite Silver Metallic - Vtec... everything stock

My loan rate is 2.36% for 5 years (Public bank).
After calculated, the RM850 is more worth then the 2.18% coz the different between 2.18% and 2.36% is only +-RM540

Car loan calculator

btw, I booked in mid October

you from klang? I also from klang, but I buy at PJ showroom.

Your agent bluff u only lah, where got no discount one? it juz the matter of want to earn more commision from u or not. U should go to ask several branches and then only decide which branch's SA give u better offer. When I place my order during mid of Oct, I even bargain with my SA of RM1800 discount and he say OK (darn, forget to ask for black and white from him that time), but after the CNY promo advertisement came out, I so happy coz thought my total discount will go up to RM2650 (RM1800+RM850) so I call and confirm with him but he say no way as before that honda's promotion is RM1200, so he give me extra RM600, but now the promo is only RM850 and he only can top-up to RM650 to make it RM1500. As long as he can provide me the good service whenever I need, then I'm OK with it.

MIJA, u can always try go to several branches and use RM1500 as your last discount limit, and see how far they can give u. eg, u can go to branch A and bluff the SA there by telling them u just go to branch B and the SA there promise to give u a discount of RM1600. If branch A's SA really want to get your business/fight for their sales quota, he/she will try to give u the same/closer discount. Once successed, u already can confirmed the sure win discount for branch A and u can move to branch B to bluff for better deal by telling them branch A able to give u attractive discount of RM1800 (ofcoz u must look serious buyer and talk with confidence lah). u will be lucky to get a good discount that better then branch A if success but if fail also nevermind coz after all, u still can turn back to branch A for the sure win RM1600 discount

Here is my SA's contact: 0123266117-Lucas. Told him is recommended by Terence

Goodluck

I wanna strech my loan to 9 years... Wonder wat is the rate they will give???

I choose PJ because he give me good service and good discount. Klang branch especially Actmar there not even come to serve me when I step into the showroom, I need to walk around myself for about 10min only got people come to me. And the SA there even try to bluff me say wat max discount is only rm500.

Klang got 2 branches, i go to the Actmar one for test drive but order my ride at another branch (Nanyang)
Actmar's SA sxxk, refuse to give me nice discount, and that SA who serve me look quite young and seems lack of experience coz I try to ask some City's related question to test how far he understanding for the City and he not confidence to answer me, eg. I ask what is the pinch-free feature for the driver's windows and he told me City no have this feature only Accord and Civic got

I told him I saw the City's spec from the Honda website and it was listed there, how come u say it dont have?? After that he decide to go one of the City with me and test to find it out and confirmed that pinch-free features was there

That fella looks abit paiseh after that and say "yahor, City have this feature and seems u more understand the CIty than me"

The next day I decide to go to the Nanyang branch and see hows the SA there service. My 1st impression for my SA is: friendly service attitude and experienced, able to provide me any information I'm asking.

Terence, thanks for your tips. Will go to Cheras branch 1st. And if anything only will call your agent.
As Im staying in Cheras. Chan Sow Lin & cheras ctr is newarby only. tq vm.

So far for 2008 car, Terence's discount is the highest with a total of RM1,500 ( RM850 honda CNY promo + RM850 SA personal discount ), bravo! We shall see who will underwrite him and become another champion for discount.

kanasai.... he is partly true...
the new promotion works like this....

if you decide to go for 2.18%, then you are not entitled to RM850 discounts...
if you take RM850 discounts from Honda Malaysia, then you cannot get the 2.18% discounts...

so for my case, when i book around end of Oct that time, the rate was 2.28%.... so since like that, i decide to take the cash rebate instead of 2.18% from Honda malaysia...

so you can demand from your SA...whether you want to choose the low interest rate of 2.18% or you want cash rebate of RM850....
it's still your call and don't let him tell you no discount...

you know what.. when i went to setapak branch.. i almost pay up them a rm2k deposit.
On the way to withdraw the money, my agent called me up and says they dun have the official receipt & ask me to pay the day after.

Luckily i read again in this forum. if not buta2 i kena tipu..

kena tipu for what? no discount?

hahaha....thanks. good luck and all the best for those still trying their best to fight for the good discount

Teamwork is very powerful. I reckon we setup something which will alert the consumer regarding the latest Honda City promotion and the HIGHEST discount that can be obtained.

By doing that will allow the 1st time or etc City potential buyers to know whats the bottom line for the discount, therefore having the bargaining power on his/her side.

Well, sounds like the person with HIGHEST discount shall buy us meal. AGREE?

Added on January 12, 2008, 6:58 pmGuys, I'm quite concerned bout the car's security. Anybody here use the bar-sharp steeringlock before? (the brand name is StopLock) how reliable for thos steering lock? Today I went to the Jusco and saw the T-Rex steering lock (ULTIMATE CH960G). Consider quite high-tech steering lock. Featuring air pressure change detection sensor & shock detection sensor and able to send the alert signal to the owner remote control within 2KM. All is good, just the price is damn expensive (RM699) and they also no keep stock, need to place a booking order and wait for 1 week for the stock arrive if purchase

u may watch the demo vclip here: http://www.megacell.com.my/index.asp

seeking for alternative lock coz pocket dry already

Any advise/recommendation for locking stuff?

Another question is the Cobra Immobilizer that come along with the City, reliable? or I should change to other better quality security system?
The original MP3 player faceplate is it detachable or fix?

must be kiasu abit now coz my previous car window kena pecah last 2 years ago and those sxker steal my amp. The funny thing is my car alarm didn't trigger at all and only notice it the next day early morning when I about to go to work

my previous car just using the OEM alarm system, but after the incidence happended, i install the shock detection, voice detection and the ultrasonic movement detection sensor system, overall cost me bout RM700+

I take it as a YES Terence.

Yup, me too. Was shopping in Carrefour and saw the pressure T-Rex stoplock that was priced for 600+ bucks. Anyhow, they have existing stocks already, you do not have to pre-order. Perhaps Terence you should go to Carrefour.

Might go for the Smartshop's lock. It will lock the brake pedal rather than the steering.
