SE should have told you. 1000km go servicing. Should be FOC. All in.

 

And I saw this in the manual, first 1000km while engine is running in, try not to rev too hard, try not to rev above 3000rpm, And dun drive at constant speed, need to move at different speed to break-in the engine.

 

This was actually stated in manual. But of course, there are bros here who dun care, and some say port worker already rev like mad for u liao, so no point. 

 

Not only the port worker, .... when they drive the new car into the car carrier, speed about 40 km/h, then rev the engine up the rampway, which can be at gradient of 30 degrees..... depending on which deck the car is to be stowed, the car could go up to 5 ramps.....

For L model, possible if we can top up for ventilated seat, rear aircon and parking assist system (which come with 4 front and 4 rear sensors)? It is because not all the functions in EX model are what we want.

 

Basically we just want a basic BNB car without so many complicated functions so as to save headaches in the future if these electronic items/devices break down...

 

Thanks!!!

I tried to do that but my SE said not possible. Although the brochure did state that all those can be added for a fee..

 

You can try asking though..

The brochure is an international one... the trim packages there not applicable to Singapore... basically you're stuck with whatever the dealer decided on for each trim level... anyway in many countries, the feature sets are also not a buffet where you pick what you want... that would result in too many combinations... you just buy the features in feature sets... like a tech pack or luxury pack, etc...

ok, when I was with SE, I did not bargain, just ask how much, what discount, what can give.... 

 

walk in, go to the counter where all SE were congregated, ask for price list and one SE attended to me, looked at Niro, looked at Sportage then settle with K3 as its Cat A and 30% down. Asked for a test drive, waited a while and loot the car properly during the drive.

 

walked back inside and told the SE, let's talk money........ explained to me the discount, told him I trade in, he called the pruchaser who came down and have a look at my car, then quoted me a price, which I agreed without arguments.

 

then talked about freebies and COE bidding, passed him credit card and signed for the 10k downpayment and that's it.

Yea, same here. I did not even test drive. Haha.

Trade in my current ride too. Paid 10k too. Even add on 3 years service package.

 

But also can't get. Maybe the price I lock in was last month price. Slightly lower at 79k.

maybe they are frustrating you so that you will surrender and make a top up.... but I think the COE may come down the next two biddings due to 7th month.

Depends on how the COE goes... may not be possible to get the car... COE premiums are rising...

Hiyah, we buy Liao of course we hope COE go up and up lah, but I think $40-44k range shld stabilize.

 

So $79k for L trim (I presume) maybe possible. Good Luck
