I don't think you were getting the bad deal. Of course, it can be better with few freebies thrown in.

 

I myself secured guaranteed package with $2.5k discount, but I do feel my package was only comparable with yours. Surely my COE rebate was $53k, but if COE bid turns out to be more than $53k, the guarantee or non-guarantee will not make a difference. And I foresee that COE will be higher on next bidding. You will know if you viist Toyota showroom and saw how they close the deals on Elegance Altis.

 

Btw, now that I didn't negotiate the Solar Film, I wonder if there is recommendation on good and affordable third party solar film for K3? It will cost me another $800-$900 should I add this in.

and my rebate level was set way too low for some reason.

content deleted, as requested the poster

97999 EX.

 

I got it on my first bid 

 

EX better go for guarantee. 

They will definitely give priority to SX non-guarantee customer.

Wah, congrats there..

EX guaranteed price is $99,999, right? Or you bought before they up the price.. If so, it is equivalent to $2k disc.. Not a bad deal..

When I bought it, it was:

 

  • $94,999 advertised price
  • COE was at ~$57000
  • Signed at $93,999
  • COE rebate was $50,000
  • So definitely not the $55,399 COE
  • Feel like I got the short end of the stick.
Once again, can anyway who have secured their K3 EX share their COE Rebate level and purchase price?

Mine 50k coe rebate, buy at 95k, got coe at 2nd bidding

I'm not too sure about the sealant issue, but if they caused your bodykit to crack then that's something to point out to them. Did you do it on the spot? Else now they can say you knocked it yourself and caused the crack...

 

I sent photos to C&C and they ask me to drive back and let them have it for 2 to 3 days. I have touched up the damage and can live with it as I repaired it almost perfect and cannot see. But friend told me to send back. As I paid so much and how I can accept for a little damage. In fact he is more niao than me until wanted to sue C&C. 

 

Scared if I return to them then it become worse than before.

 

During the midst of repair, they shall loan me a car so I think I am fine with it.

 

Think I also unlucky on the other hand. The other day, I wanted to link my car camera to my fuse box. In the end, short circuit my unit which is almost 1 to 2 yrs. At least they are willing to compensate me for my old one and upgraded to new one with 2 channel with wifi. Of course top up some $$ as my old one is cheap china one.

Speak of rebate. Essentially you can never get it back. Cause COE shall never drop with the news of quota dropping.

if you're looking to play music (MP3), then use another usb & a card reader and insert into the USB port below lo... that port cant be used to power any device, so I used it to play music only... anyone here knows if the eurostyle HU can play MP4 or MKV movies via this USB port too?

bro, understand the eurostyle can support up to 32GB size from the msia forum.

 

Think the issue should be the memory card format type. Please double check.
