Lol [:(] I know very 'brave' but im in quite urgent need for the car and i looked around this is the youngest picanto n 'best mileage' i can find. I am mentally prepared i have fork out extra $$ to change the power steering after puchase but i will try to get dealer to write down black n white if power steering is found to be leaking after purchase they will bear the full cost (although i know they will just deny n deny) but try try my luck... Hai..thanks for the luck!!! Need all the luck in the world hope by miracle power steering no leak..

Sis sis...if u like the car so much, alternatively u can bargain with them the price some more so as to cover yr repair cost. By how much? Maybe u can check with the service centre or workshops 1st. [:)]

Ps ps ps.. Didn't realize that lol.. Anyway try to talk to the salesman n see if can let ur own mechanic takes a look n estimate the repair cost den after that u bargain wit ur salesman for a discount.. Rather den u buy a bomb n suck it up.. This 60 days a lot of dealers are trying their best to recover capital n closed shop.. So what ever that's written don't think will stands anymore... N even if they are still around, surely there's loophole the dealer can find..

 

Don't trust too much on mileage.. I don't mind high mileage wit genuine service record rather den low mileage (maybe fake mileage) n nvr maintain properly.. Juz remember that after u took over the car, what ever problems are mostly ur own problems Liao, not the dealer :) u buy a car for convenience sake, not 1 that requires all the time n $$$ in the world visiting workshop lol..

 

Fyi my fren's avante had problems wit his power steering, check wit Komoco.. Cost him 5k.. Y so ex, I dunno!!!

I agreed wit u :) but she mention she choose dis due to longest coe avail, cheapest price n lowest mileage..

 

Side track abit.. Main reason y dealers plays wit mileage tampering is becos all buyers like to see low mileage vehicle, so they show u low mileage lor rofl.. U wan it, u have it :p

Try what luck, get a mechanic or a friend who knows to check and not just power steering. Also check if there are any signs of accidents. If you want, request for STA inspection.

 

If there are any problems and you still want the car, ask the dealer why this spoil never say, ask them replace or lower the price.

 

Our new lemon law also protect you, but why go through the hassle after buying, right?

Thank you all for your advices, i really really do appreciate it very much! I have prepared a letter which states they will have to bear the full cost within 6 months if any problem arises related to the power steering and i will them to sign n chop stamp.. And i will be sending the car down to harmony for a check up... Thanks all once again!! This is my first time buying n he really gave me lots of stress because hes the kind call dont pick up, sms dont reply n give attitude kind, but so far despite his unprofessionalism he still did everything i asked for so im tahaning him but my patience is really reaching its limits. So i hope everything goes smoothly

The car dealer can chop & sign,black & white,6 months is a long time,now so many 2nd hand car dealer closing down,6 months later the so call 'contract' will be just a piece of useless paper,you so hurry buy a car,you 'may' just buy a 'lemon',also there are so many models of cars around,why must insist on Kia Picanto.???
