Greetings guys~

I've been following this thread for quite some time now. And I think I want BLM as my 1st ever car haha So I wanna some advise from all the sifus here

Ok, here goes. Days ago I've visited a dealer to ask about this particular car and the thing is I would only be able to seal the deal only in this coming end of year. And the dealer off and said that it's a bad idea to buy a new car at the end of new year as it would effect the car resale value and the new 2010 batch might have some new features pre-installed. How true is this statement? Hope that someone could enlighten me a bit on this.

Not that I cared much about the car resale value because I'm a type that would used everything until it can't ever be used again lol So I don't really care about it. What bugs me is should I wait for the next year and see if the new batch would give some extras? Would it worth the wait? As for me, I think M-line specs is enough for me already

On the other things, the car that i am asked for is a Solid white, M-line manual transmission BLM. The offer i got was RM39,889 + few free gifts. Is this a good deal? I am thinking to pay RM10k for the DP and a monthly installments for RM360 for 9 years loan. Is it wise? I'm trying to lessen the monthly installments below RM400 so that's why I'm thinking of paying the 10k as DP. Do you guys think otherwise? Please do enlighten me.

p/s: Sorry for the wall of texts

Haha I just read it too myself. It seems (from other sources from various blogs and forums) that the 1.6 version of BLM set out for sale as taxis are not selling like 'hot cakes' as they (proton) expected. Maybe and just maybe these 1.6ers are actually those of one to sell as taxis. Well, If there is 1.6 and IF the price is reasonable, I have no doubt to take that one out hahaha Maybe these units are limited? If it does, the price should be a killer IMHO

Thanks for the thought man I was thinking to have a lower installments year. But the monthly commitment is just too much for me huhu RM600+ is a killer for me. Just started working and that is about 1/3 of my salary huhu need to think about home loan and utilities some more. Before I work in KL, no need for cars at all. Public transport everywhere haha Now transferred to Penang and it seems its vital for me to have a car now I thinks i need to stick to Installments plans below RM400 Thus the high DP

As far as I know, this is is true. Unless our local newspapers are making a nationwide prank haha As I too, read a local newspaper this morning (other than lgs posted) also have this ad. I think it is true.

Thanks for the reply. 5 years plan would make my monthly installments to RM590+. Still quite a burden to me, methinks And a DP of 10k is the max I can commit huhu Man, buying cars is such a hassle T_T

Uhhh... It's not photoshopped AFAIK. Lemme show you my scanned copy of Harian Metro Jumaat, 29 Mei 2009. lgs copy is from a chinese paper rite? Mine is in Malay. So, thats why i say, if this is a prank, than this is a nationwide prank lol XD I've checked Utusan and The Star. They don't have this ad I don't know why.

Well, with all due respect sir, this one I did not crop from the net. It is my own copy of todays (29 Mei) Harian Metro. Try check at ur nearest mamak stall. Flip to page 11. You'll find it Or are you assuming the one who put this advert to the papers that cost a quite sum of money just to for pranks? If he does, he got my salute haha wakenabeb XD

Maybe they didn't put it in the website as for it's a limited edition aka taxi edition leftovers? lol But for 1.6, wow. too bad if IT IS indeed the taxi spec, then at best it would be in B-line. Sigh...

Haha I dun mind the sensors. Can install 3rd party ones right? Hehe Just the colors that turns me off haha If there's a Solid white color then I might consider hoho decals for me is a no no. Not a big fan of decals cept' those in Need For Speed games haha Oh and the price is sumkind of a factor too hahaha

Just a question. The taxi spec is MT or AT? Does anyone have any idea what this new 1.6 spec have to offer? AT or MT? If it is AT only, that would be a bummer haha

MT eh? hehe quite interested now XP This 1.6ers should have the spec of those taxi ones rite? Most probably yeah?

^ FTW = For The Win

heheh I guess I would opted to MT rather than AT myself XP Changing gear manually FTW! ROFLMAO XD
