I book my Blue Horizon SX Jul 2018.

And I pickup my Cerato end of Aug 2018.

I am paying 88,999 guarantee COE. Once COE secured, my SE informed me swiftly when I will pickup my Cerato.

I'm switching Esso 95 and 98 alternately. And I found recently my Cerato pickup good. Plus, this car road holding and corning very much better than my old Altis.

In addition, my Cerato has service in Panada twice. The service not that bad.

I book my Blue Horizon SX Aug 2018.

And I got my Cerato mid of Oct 2018.

I paid 86,999 non-guarantee COE. Once COE secured, my SE informed me swiftly when I will pickup my Cerato.

I'm switching from SPC 98 back to 95 cos no different I think. And I find my Cerato pickup ok. Plus, this car road holding and corning very much better than my old 2008 Forte.

In addition, my Cerato has service in Panada and Leng Kee. The service at LK not that bad.

Guys, base on your experience can I check I gotten the COE (April) for my new car (Kia cerato sx) likely when can I get the car?

That depends on your SE... We bought with Kee, he was upfront on the 4 month waiting list and kept us updated

Ya kee is good, wanted to get the demo units previously and went through him

 

Just that the t&c were pretty ridiculous which was beyond his control anyway.

The people at LK never scratch your car?

U will get it latest by October since cat a coe is valid for 6 months.

No. I 'warn' SA that i am confident in their workmanship.

Washed, vacum and returned to me tip top and on time.

Very friendly SA and good service.

Same same, I’ve compared between Caltex 98 and 95 on my SX, not much difference in performance. Just use 95 and save money

Question for the old timers: are the brake calipers prone to rust and do you recommend painting them ? Any idea on the cost ?

[KeanNg]

Please check with your SE.

Oh ok, on paper they stated latest by June, what can I do if they exceed the timeline they stated? Can I forgo the deal and get back my deposit?

I also secured my code In early April. On paper also wrote latest by June. Checked with SE and he told me that he was unable to guarantee for June collection. Shipment by the Koreans and not within his control. Just have to wait I guess. I don’t think you can get back your deposit if you forgo the deal. There must be some T&C protecting them. I think unless we are unable to collect the car by October then perhaps deposit can be refunded? But then, the bidder COE how I’m also not sure. But I think by October sure can get car.
