Hi Laoda99,

I oso got a picanto for $32999. Whois your salesperson? I took the 10yr 30k loan coz i intended to drive for long and to maintain low monthly instalments. Low maintenance too! hehe.. I know im gona get stuck to this car for long..

I got the $2k accessories promo so i bargained for the leather seats, sports rims, rev sensors, alarm. Asked for full yr road tax he wun give. He den offered me $400 for solar films in exchg for the extra 6mths road tax, effectively i got the solar films for ard $200+.

Gurus here...worth it ornot? I oso first timer buyer...

u mean u opt for package A which gives u free leather seat and sports rim?

I opt for package C which has minus 800 insurance and reverse camera.

Top-up 650 for leather seats and 200 for solar films.

Wife called SE up and got visors.

Hope I never got ripped off. This the first time I buy car.

yup...package A more worth it i tink...

leather seats and sports rims cost near 2k liao...rev sensor and alarm was optional for picanto i suppose...he add in for mi den offerred the kenwood player when we asked for it...road tax he give 1yr when i willing to top 400 for the solar film...altho i noe these accessories were up-price by the dealer...

If u get ripped off...mi too..haha

Yah...ABS i noe can do without since im not the kind who drive like a racer...

The oni disappointing thing is i dun get the spoiler...he say no stock...i duno to believe ornot...

Btw, if it was stated COE rebate at $3000 means:

1) Max rebate of COE at $3000 or

2) rebate of COE when COE falls below $3000, ie, COE=$2000 I get $1000 rebate?

unless you're driving your KIA with the window rolled down and waving to a friend and you arm got hit by a speeding GTR so it got ripped off, i don't think you got ripped off.
