haha i drive 95% of the time but know how to change flat tyre and jump start battery.

 

she drive 5% of the time but knows neither of this two.

 

so how, you think put under who's name makes more sense?

I would buy for both, for a joint membership the cost is about $150 per year if I recall correctly, so its not exactly big money -

 

Use one time only and already worth it.

 

And then can also use in malaysia, free towing to nearest workshop...

I think they recognise the card plus the member must be there in person. Unless you bluff them the person went to toilet or drink kopi and they buy your story la.

Actually the AA card is good if you are driving "old" car, cause the car might have higher chance of breakdown?! If you are driving a brand new car, may not have chance utilize the card as the car is under AD warranty, can also call them up.

Pls be reminded that such checks do not cover air conditioning.

 

I bought an altis 06. Agent topped up the refrigerant and the a/c was blowing hot air within a month. I sent for servicing and it was diagnosed that the cooling coil has a minor leak. It was either going to be gas top up every few weeks or replace the cooling coil to eliminate the root cause. I decided to go with the latter option and replaced it (75% and 25% between myself and agent).

by the way guys, got an issue now.

 

my new car loan application for the vios should be ok but they request for my loan cancellation and cancellation (i think referring to sale cancellation) letter from my previous dealer who tries to sell me his Jazz... is this the standard procedure with Tokyo leasing (since i am going by balloon scheme)? What if the previous dealer play punk and ignore my request for the letters? then i cannot get my loan?

those seepage sounds quite serious... based on the past AA report i talked to with the ppl there.

 

somemore u buying BMW... replacement/repairs aren't going to be cheap!

 

may not be a good deal to buy this car unless the dealer offers to fix everything for you.

Seems pretty serious the faults, especially point 2 where it involves the engine block interior.

 

I will avoid it, if I were you.

Suggest you get a pre-owned from Performance Motors, as least you know that they have the spares readily available.
