Heartlander Turbocharged June 6, 2019 Share June 6, 2019 That's odd to have only 13km on the odo.. Your car would have gone for local leather fitting, Head Unit etc.... that occurs after collection from the port and the refuelling.. Unless the truck driver left out and forgot to refuel your car.. Possible especially if collect from Ubi as there iss an eco system of car parts and accessory shops like seat leather, solar film, car audio, etc, concentrated in a small locality. The big truck bring the new cars to the AD showroom/workshop and from there only a few short trips. Some on long term contract even given space in the workshop to do the work, so definitely possible to have less than 20km on odo.. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akula Turbocharged June 6, 2019 Share June 6, 2019 For the bigger players (ADs), the accessories guys will go down to their place. Can’t imagine say Borneo or KAH delivering, say 100-200 cars per month and having to drive these cars all over the place to get the accessories fitted.

I have a CRV and as far as I can see its all factory fitted. That includes seats, HU etc. I did have a number of factory parts fitted at the dealership, but it was Ubi and they seem to have a good supply of parts.

Apple-Tree 6th Gear June 6, 2019 Share June 6, 2019 Wah, like that also can see the writing, Lee High !! That Pump don't have Diesel,don't tell me that Truck use Petrol.? The last time I bought a car from Borneo only, I think, $10 lor. C&C pump my diesel car to full tank and my FIRST is in Tebrau Shell ....... heeeee It's a really interesting read thanks.I am skeptical if Kah Motors actually puts $50 worth of fuel in the car though. I picked up my car from KM in Feb 2019. It had 13km on the odometer and when I started the car it literally was showing the empty fuel light first up. Even the SE had to tell me where the closest petrol station is.May be it's just me though... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lightforx Neutral Newbie June 9, 2019 Share June 9, 2019 Nice read! Really enjoy these kind of articles on the on-goings before you get your car. My Golf came with 11km on odo, a bit less than half tank of 95. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some new cars need to be driven there if the loader is full. 100km plus is normal if they have to fit outside accessories. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
therock Supersonic June 10, 2019 Author Share June 10, 2019 It never ceases to amaze me when I see the price difference between SG and M'sia... I could shower in S$1 worth of M'sian petrol... Typically they land in Klang, Meleka or Tanjung Pelapas, and if they also pump $50 worth, I reckon it's going to be full tank.. Oh...
