For some, the dollar discount is the most important.

But you can't place a value on the assurance of COE, service etc.

Previous bros did not have a choice, the older Thai HRV is totally different. It was either PI or the Thai HRV. I would not choose the Thai car either. 

Now with the AD giving a simple way to get the COE, service, warranty, and if there are recalls, you know they will attend to it.

To me, these none tangible benefits are just as worth it as a cash discount.

I prefer to sleep well at night, cheers.

 

Speaking from personal experience, after making 3 trips to the PI for some nitty gritty issues, I am so tempted to agree with you.

 

But after looking at the price of MIJ HRV vs what I got, i pulled back. Hahaha. 

 

Defects from PI car is a heng-suay matter... that's a risk we buyers have to take. If one is ok with forking out a few k more for ease of mind buying from the AD, that's fine too. It's just like buying insurance. 

 

At the end of the day, either dollar discount, or the ease of mind from the AD, whatever floats your boat, just go ahead with it! [;)]

If you are buying from PI that has their own workshop and warranty then they should be able to take care of the defects pretty easily.

Yup, the PI i bought from has their own workshop and an outsourced accessories shop. Tbh, the problem was so complex that they too were baffled. But they managed to solve it in the end after nearly 7 hours in the workshop. Turned out that the wiring connections were not fixed properly. Reassembled the wiring and the issue was gone.

 

I can only say that perhaps somebody had a bad day while assembling my car at the plant in Japan...

 

Refer to my post #3784 earlier on... quoted for your reading interest:

 

 

Hi fellow vezel owners,

 

Been driving my facelifted vezel for about a week now. I've came to realise something strange about the steering wheel audio control....

 

Whenever i drive and try to adjust the volume by pressing once, the HU "goes wild", i.e. the volume either goes all the way up, or all the way down. Sounds like sticky key syndrome but the buttons go back to their original position.

 

This disappears when the car is stationary or when speeds are lesser than 25km/h.

 

The car audio guy did a recalibration of the steering wheel control but it didnt work. He perceived it to be a HU problem and wanted to replace my HU. If the symptoms persist, i will have to talk to my sales guy.

 

Just wondering if any fellow owners out there has faced this problem, or knows about this issue? Thanks.

Personally I feel that the total $ value difference if driven for 10 years is not that much.

 

KAH quoted 2.18% vs typical PI 2.78% , assume max loan and tenor - 2-3 k difference

 

Higher Parf of 4-5k at the end of 10 years

 

And servicing package?

 

I guess all these equate to about 6k to 8k difference ?

Kah doesn't force you to take a loan, so that's a lot of savings.

I recall a bro, who bought the Thai HRV posting that  after you take into account all the additional savings like service, PARF, OMV etc, that the net difference wasn't much.

That's right. A lot of buyers just look at the selling price at face value. To me, the real cost is the annual depreciation, taking into account the omv, cevs rebate, etc.

Quote has shrunk..

Which means the COE may go up, so I wouldn't expect the same deals that others posted here, not for a few months until sales quieten down in the second quarter..

If you can wait, that's not a bad thing..

So has anyone else gone ahead with the HRV ?

I have booked a HRV (DX) on 30 Aug16, got the COE the following week. The Delivery date is between Nov and Dec.

Which means they do not hold stocks. If they have stocks then will only take 2 to 3 weeks.

Vezel-killer self pwn due to high pricing... LOL.

 

But at the same time, if it's pricey, won't be Uber/Grab/rental fleet car and might attract buyers who siam this type

Why need to slam someone else's car?

Just so we can have a sense of superiority over others?

 

Don't ask me. A lot of people nowadays don't like a car (unless it is a premium marque like Benz) as soon as they discover it has become favorable among taxi-type service or rental fleets.

 

Look at how Hyundai i40, KIA K5 suffered so badly because of their reputations as taxi. i40 is a fantastic car, but nobody likes it because Comfort uses it. I'm not in this mindset, I would love to own a i40 Estate. Thus I cannot explain the mentality.

 

 

Attrage is now also starting to suffer from stereotyping among our users here as a Grab/Uber troublemaker vehicle.
