Unofficial price for 2009 production model that come with half leather seat, i thing it will increased about 2~3K from initial price ..about 83K ( if i understood for first 1000 units since launch.. with premium spec ) . Maybe someone from Chery Alado can confirm this..Bro Keem...please answer

half leather seat increase RM2000, no free service. total price RM 81,888.00

all the sales staff including me are using the new price list already because the old stock left only like 5 biji only

Is it true that the price RM81,888.00 is meant for 1st 1000 launching units only as I was told by my salesman? Or it is valid for 2009 models onwards until further changes?

it is not a bad MPV, but i think what chery needs is stricter QC. Most of the problems can be traced to assembly line, human error

yes it is. it's still valid for 2009, until finish the first 1000

when to the showroom with my dad recently...
not interested to buy anyway...
but i think this chery does it job well enough..
in terms of interior this one is definitely the winner
among famous mpv like the livina, innova ,avanza and the APV..
the seats are quite comfortable and rather soft.......
the rear most seat is so comfortable and even the rm 100k innova can't
give this comfort...
however there is slack at glove box as it produces a little bit of
under quality sound..and also at some several places..
after all i would likely choose this mpv then the lot i mentioned above.. (eventhough i'm not going to buy it)

Dynasan,

Few days back, em going to SC for 1000Km service. I also tell them about the wind sound problem. After all...the wind sound problem has been solved by SC. About the FC, YES...after the braking problem solved..i can feel my mpv goes smoothly rather than before. Em getting more km..448km..( left quarter from last bar of fuel indcator ) for average speed 70km ~ 80km + - @ 2000rpm as well.

hi all chery members, i just spotted one chery eastar 2.4 this morning. that was my 1st time seeing this car. But surprisely that chery has TRD emblem on rear. LOL was very curious after i find out (in google) what exactly this car's name and manufactured by mitsubishi (not toyota as TRD shown).

Still waiting approval from the bank for my loan.Arrghhhh...when are they going to approve it

I have been following up this forum the day I have interest in Eastar. Since there were so many minor problems brought up by owners, it is good for SC(or Chery Alado itself) to feedback and request the assembly plant to improve the quality of this car. 2009 is just few days ahead and hope to see 2009 model will be a car free from all this minor problems. We are looking forward to see more positive things to be posted in this forum; all good things about Eastar instead.
Merry X'mas and happy new year 2009. Cheer for Chery Eastar; a better years ahead.

I found the one with roof rack is so much less stylish compare the one without. I hear from sales people in Penang that many customer has refused to accept even it is given free. Not sure how true is this. My personal opinion, won't go with the roof rack. BTW, I found that Penang SC is not very good in solving customer problems. I'm not sure anyone from Chery Alodo that can take some action & ask them to boost up their service level. I don't want to pin point which sales centre but there's only 2 in Penang, easily can find out.

They don't follow forums like this and yet telling me wind sound cannot be solved. Don't they know the world is flat?

New player like Alado needs to invest more in terms of marketing , promotion etc. in a country where brand conscious people like M'sia more effort needs to push forward this brand .

Hire a good Brand Manager to strengthen Alado and also improvise after sales service.

Chery have potential to grow here provided they look into those matters mentioned above seriously .

After sales service and selling cars are equally important. Japanese car dominating the market worldwide because it started with very good service parts supply and services after sales. Based on this good and continuous parts supply and serives, Japanese products have became people's number 1 choice. Of course, low price come with quality goods, services and spare parts supply are actually one package.
Chery is new to Malaysian and Chery should emphasis 100% customer satisfaction and provide excellent service for those who willing to try and put their trust on Chery car(Eastar). I am sure with 100% customer satisfaction provided, owners don't mind those minor problems from those newly launching car(usually new production output will have minor minor problems).
We can hear more and more people talking abt Eastar now a day. We hope that Eastar owrners can be proud of their car and start to spread good news instead.
