I don't need MP3 and was told new batch additional 10K.
so same la, after a few months, they want to clear stock, the price will drop again to around 60k too.

how long did you wait to collect your car after securing COE?
i was just told earliest is 17 Nov... wtf... paid extra 2k, waited 1+ week for COE, now still gotta wait 2 weeks to get car

this is indeed a very lousy purchasing experience

Chill out, man... i think waiting 2 weeks after getting COE to collect is very normal... i also waited 2 weeks for mine. My SE told me fastest is 10 days, but normally it's 14 days.

ScoobyDoo,

Once your COE is secured, the following works need to be done to your car before it is delivered to you.

1) Drive car out of warehouse
2) Wash interior and exterior, and polish car
3) Tuff Kote car, if you requested for it.
4) Send car for window tinting
5) Rip apart velvet seats and install leather seats
6) Take out steel rims and install sports rims
7) Install hi fi head unit
8) Tune engine and replace battery (for YOM 2008 stock)
9) Final inspection at Tan Chong and touch up of any faults

All these takes time.

If they speed through the process, you will get more headache if these after market parts are not fitted properly.

oh ic ic... thanks for the feedback, didn't realise it takes so much time to prepare the car. i tot most of the things should have already been fitted in advance since the premium and basic models don't share the same body and also using different engine, unlike models which uses same body/engine but differ by bodykit and upholstery. those that need fitting would be the extras that's not part of the stock deal... hmmm

anyway, this is my virgin deal for a brand new car, all my past 老相好 are used, settled in a matter of days. record was, all settled within 1 day... but that was in Australia  :w00t:
plus my bro told me its a short process to sort out the admin (he said his new matrix from Komoco came within 1 week after securing COE), thus was disappointed when i heard 2 weeeeeeks... times are different :ohmy:

Hi Fluxc, you might have got the best deal as bodykit is the most expensive one.
May cost $800. So, you have "used up" the discount a salesman can give.
Solar film cost is about $350. You pay $200, that's another $150.
So in total, you got almost $1k off from the salesman, which I think is very good deal already.
Or, at least, better than my deal.

$500 off in total. $200 is from NAC as I was ex Nissan owner.
My membership expired in somewhere 2008, or else I will get $500. This is what they told me.
Gps is from the salesman. So kind of him to give me, as it is not negotiated when I signed the contract.
And plus the solar film. So total discount I got is $500 + $350 + $200 (GPS) =$1050.
You got better deal if we minus off the NAC privilege.

hi fluxc,

i think even provide that invoice to your also useless.. cos most of the time it all depend the SE.

May i know which area u went to?
how much loan u gonna take?

for mine deal, i think i got a veri super deal. my loan was only 27k. but i wack the SE to get all my wishlist done. so mayb u juz have to wack him up again. cos ur the customer.. bargain power..

if u need more advise, mayb i intro my SE to you lor. thats the best i can do. but have u tested ride b4?

cheers

Refer to the this link:- http://www.tuffi.com.sg/clad_kote.html
You may call them up to ask. BTW, not sure TC using them or not or they have their own contractor.
BTW, you do not need to re-spray every year, up to individual. for me will do it once every 2 years. ;D
