Anyone , any experience with prime motor & leasing ?

Prime has been in the market for decades. They are more established than those small timers. They have both new and used car sales operation. But they have since moved their new car sales towards leasing model in the recent years. Their new cars are also more expensive then the smaller timers but i guess they know they could command premium price . You may want to check out their warranty workshop as well but i guess you cannot expect too much from a PI appointed wirkshop .

Just took delivery of my Vellfire from the company late last month.

 

Experience, as in professionalism of the SEs, is similar or better than some ADs I  encountered. But be prepare to wait even for ready stock as they have a small team and always busy preparing and delivering new cars to customers, so can't really rush them. Promised me 10 days after bidding can get car, but ended up waiting for about 20 days. But not really faulting the team as can see they are really busy as I paid visit every few days to gajiao them. Price is competitive but definitely not the cheapest. And don't expect too much on freebies. But what you get in return is peace of mind and can sleep well at night. This was the first time buying from PI and have been very critical of the PI industry. My opinion change a lot after that, but not for those fly-by-night PIs that offer cheapest prices. And yes, the PI uses MBM for their servicing works, in Sin Ming so abit inconvenience for those staying in the east. For warranty recall, is 10 years by Prime Motor itself so is very assuring.

 

Anyway I not from this company or have vested interest. Speaking from PERSONAL experience.

My sincere guidance: buy the respective cars from the AD.

Thanks! Buying from PI feels quite scary especially when I dont know much about cars....

2. Mazda 3

3. Mercedes A class

Dunno about Honda & Mazda... Merc & Audi go AD as now got 5 years warranty and more reliable servicing expertise.

I bought from Guan in 2008. My 2 relatives also bought from them recently!

Ya, I noticed several positive comments about Guan

and their rebate level is more reasonable...

Any idea who is their workshop?

They are the importers. Some smaller PIs also take from them.

My relative's Vezel was recalled and the part was replaced within good time.

As for the workshop, I've forgotten the name. It is in Lento Ave area.
