R11s Neutral Newbie March 5, 2009 Share March 5, 2009 To my Bro Lordhawk and Sgrac3r, Just to go on record that I too booked my 1.6sx(a) pre-launch and secured my coe at Feb 2nd bidding exercise (1st of 6 bid). Guess I was lucky. But shows one can secure the coe even if booked pre-launch. Can't say which AD is better, Ubi or Alexandra. Depends on which SE you happen to meet right? There are bad apples in every basket, as the saying goes. The SE I met in Ubi is indeed friendly, but somehow, my wife and I felt the one we met earlier in Alexandra the one we're comfortable to deal with. The whole experience was a good one. No lah, not many freebies thrown in. Just leather seats. Some ppl think more freebies means good SE, I dun necessarily think so. So the final price is $44,999 after pre-launch discount (add leather seats). Colour Metal Bronze. Collected 28Feb and think its worth every penny so far and really enjoying my first car.... I hope all you bros out there get it without as much of a hitch as I did. Forte Rocks! hehe bro post the pic lor....wanna c the real metal bronze color,i onli c thru online, wanna c how my ride will look like hehe ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncton Neutral Newbie March 5, 2009 Share March 5, 2009 R11s bro, pics? can... but pictures cannot do it any justice with all the difference in ur computer's display and the camera's individual characteristics. Note to mention my lousy camera skills. (folks who play with cameras might know what I'm talking about) Ur SE never contact u on where they (metal bronzes) are displayed in the showroom meh? The minute they launch in Taka, he called me up to tell me the metal bronze is in the Alexandra showroom so that I can check out the colour first hand. We fell in love with that colour right away. Go check which showroom has it and see with your own eyes. Pics does not do it, trust me. cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
