dreamybear 1st Gear July 7, 2019 Share July 7, 2019 Ask your SE for a copy of excel file calculating the redemption amount & interest you will pay. Wow, I think u hv a really good SE. Most will probably just whatsapp a few figures. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamybear 1st Gear July 7, 2019 Share July 7, 2019 Thanks for all the replies to my question on early redemption. Actually, the SE will always say take up the loan and get the freebies. I am not sure but I suspect maybe if we vehemently insist on not taking up the loan, C&C may still give the freebies(maybe not so much). Personally, I think the critical freebies r the service credits, front/back camera, and solar flim. Those overpriced backpack, umbrella, head cushions, etc r nice to have only. For consumers, I guess it is whether the early settlement(a few thousand depending on loan amt) + plus our own admin effort to remember to pay monthly or setup/terminate GIRO just for that few mths or 1 year is worth the critical freebies ... For C&C, it must be more profitable for them if we take up loans, if not, why not accept full payment which is easier for eveyone - SE, accounts dept and consumers. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a fact, not only for C&C but all dealers. Sales of car alone does not yield much profit. The bulk of car owners don't change car every 1 year. So they can only spin profit off servicing, parts and loan commission. This is exactly why in US they have the dealer union strongly objecting to direct sales by car brands (just look at the war between Tesla and the dealer union).

Ct3833 Supersonic July 13, 2019 Share July 13, 2019 (edited) my last servicing was done more than 2 months ago. why the front tires pressure exceeded the limit? IMG_2812.JPG one tire bulge, need to replace? car under warranty, is it mandatory to go to c&c for replacement IMG_2828.JPG Hi, you have to get your tire replaced asap, it may burst anytime. Do not try to inflate the tyre further. Meantime, drive at a slower speed, especially when cornering, be extra careful. And remember, in case the tyre burst for whatever reason, steer your car safely to the road side, do not panic and step hard on your brake.It depends on the size of your tyres, not necessarily your front pressure exceed limit, refer to your tyre pressure guide. And it looks like you are having a front wheel drive car, usually the front wheel drive cars have a higher tyre pressure in front.
