I guessed you caught him on a really busy day. Do update here if you are happy with Jass so that the other potential buyers will benefit from the info. We are here to share.

Not siding anyone, he probably can't tell from your messages that you're really keen to book. They receive tons of enquiries everyday and deal with walk-ins as well as referrals... Suggest you pump him a call instead.

 

I didn't have instant replies from Jass too although I booked the forester with her.

 

I think don't expect top class service from bread and butter marques and you will be a happier shopper

CNY price is much lower.

I bought my FXT during CNY at $111,800. I got my COE @ $47k.

Had been driving the car for 1 mth plus..

Wow thats 10k off what I got..thats the FNA price now. Such is buying cars...like stock market.

[Sicko]

One man's meat is anothers poison. Sale of XT and NA is so good that the SE abit yaya papaya. Ask me go down to suntec and will give me a better deal but put on table a rubbish take it or leave it offer. Wanted to push me to a corner not even willing to let me discuss separately with my CO. So i f off immediately and bought another car 2 hours later. Though i like XT but the attitude piss me off.

[mrhan1982]

I viewed the QQ 2.0 before buying FXT, was actually considering QQ2.0 and FNA.

QQ do looks a lot better, the leather car wrap is much more classy, interior built and exterior looks also much better than Forester.

My only concern was the headroom, since I am buying a SUV, I wanted one with more room.

 

In the end, I do say QQ have their followers and rightly so, I also paid extra $500 to have my leather wrapping upgraded and I will say it was the best add on I made, makes the FXT look and feel much better.

 

Just my own opinion.

The leather change is one my best choices made to my ft too. Not just a change in color but the leather grade is better too. U can feel it. Btw I changed it to terra brown. It liven up the interior a lot.

 

The qq 2.0 is a much better drive than the 1.2t in my opinion. But unfortunately, it lacks the characteristics of a true suv. Most importantly, it's too small especially the rear seats. Lesser legroom means harder to put rear facing child seats as the front passenger and driver need to move forward a bit. Not good for me and wife since we like to push our seats back.

Hi Forester owners,

 

Would like to check, the SE said the current stock will be locked to the buyer once you paid the booking and that car cannot be sold to anyone.

 

1. Anyone bought the car with 8 bids NG at how many bid you got the car.

 

2. Anyone experience after 8 bids still never get the car and SE asking for top up before you get the car.

 

 

Thanks! And have a nice day!

Maybe the more experienced bros can chime in but here is how I see they play the game. It depends on the COE demand and buyers level of KCS-ness.

 

Like recently after the MAS, many buyers flocked to showrooms. MI give super sweet deals. All sign on the line. Existing Forester stock all snapped up. They order new batch. But buyers prob have to wait long for the COE.

 

Before this, they were confident to get the COE so the non guaranteed doesnt matter, and many got at 1st bid.

 

Next round in June, I think it wont be so easy.

Will be similar to what u see in the QQ. It comes with 3 years warranty so any issues if arise I can get them to rectify. I'm not sure original black leather how Long was the warranty...

The upgraded leather is 4 years warranty according to warranty card. Best upgrade option ever. I got mine at $250 coz I nego with se and he paid half of it.

Hey Forester owners

 

Do you feel there's quite high level of road noise intrusion from your stock rides? The doors sounded like milo tins when you knock it. Have to install sound proofing mats to make it sound sweeter..

 

Or my ears are too picky? stock tyres are lousy? Only did 600ks on them

All relative la. Depends on your previous ride. For me it is upgrade.

[Chucky2007]

Different ppl different strokes la. Cannot call ppl no brains... Not nice.

 

I got my CO the QQ1.2T coz sure like it..more than the FXT or the NA.

 

Bcos of that I got to sign up for an OB leh.. And an XV leh for the ACO..

 

You don't Hai us leh...

Oh pai say pai say..

How is this prompt and polite? Lol

 

I rather let another SE earn my money.

 

You were not happy because he never reply you on the NA?  or no reply on discount?

 

You already asked for "best offer" in your first question, right?

Not sure abt FXT stock tires but i dont rate the FNA stock tires very well. Heard them screeching a few times even when making a simple u-turn. Or when i stop on a steep slope and move off again, stepping abit harder. Dont think the engine is that power, just think the tires have lousy traction since they are rated B anyway.

 

Anyway the built quality of FNA isnt very impressive. 2.8k mileage and i seem to hear rattling coming from rear portion of the car, either from the rear doors or spare tire styrofoam board or the tonneau cover.. quite irritating.

 

Speakers also as it gets louder tend to vibrate n rattle... likely need to upgrade and soundproof once 1yr audio warranty is up

Same colour as mine... Makes the interior more classy... But kinda easy to spot the scratches and dust or white marks appear very obvious... But I Guess I made the decision to overlook these when I choose Tera brown knowing my high utilisation will not be able to keep the leather clean for Long

I had installed the sound proofing mats in the front doors of FNA, single layer applied to the inner layer of the door first to try out its effects. For better audio experience would probably need to apply a second layer, and change the front speakers.

 

Am sourcing for better quality and quiet tyres for the FNA too. Really cost cutting measures from MI. Tyres are the only contact between vehicle and ground and I would change them out first.

Is the NA's system Harman Kardon like the FXT?

 

I am ok with the FXT's system. An upgrade from my old Civic, which was decent already.

Harman Kardon is only for XT.
