How come you say that? Is it because its a MIK car?

Shouldn't you judge the price of Forte based on the equipment level it comes with as compared with other make?

C&C bring in manual version for forte?

 

I thought manual version was available long ago when they first launch?

Korean cars are getting more and more ex. I thought I saw Subaru is selling at 52,000 in the ads?

 

Korean car are selling well in the first quanter simply becoz of their price advantage. If they are pricing on same as jap cars I doubt people will buy korean cars.

[Alfc]

I would think cannot jus look at total price.

 

Imagine same car one with $20k coe sell at $60k, another with $5k coe sell at $45k.

In fact, both price (ex COE) still the same, so worth or not still same conclusion.

Rest of $$ is not paying for the physical car anyway.

most probably 49k without COE.... and they let u choose the coe amount you want to bid.

Nowadays cannot look at the price of the car only. Must also look at the insurance premium you will be paying. I rather pay a higher price for a slightly better car rather than a cheaper Subaru who's insurance premiums can cause a heart attack.

yea if tats the price axio is gg for...its rather attractive for a MIJ car..

Seem like Korea car using super cheap price to attract their customer initially cannot substain long. Going to show their true colour out soon as they can't substain their low profit margin.

 

My unscrupulous competitor also do the same kind of technique to us to win over my customer/business. However, my customer later realised that there is hidden cost whereby they charge their customer twice the amount of contracture servicing cost.

Some PI's at Automega Mart offering Honda Fit for 52K. Why buy Forte at 49K when few K more can buy FIT.

Honda Fit 1.3 vs a Kia Forte 1.6 ?
