Yes..I understand that its FC is not best in class, but almost 20% worse than Mz3? Hoping to hear from some bros here who had taken their ride

[Lurpsexx]

any bros dekit their old car and brought over their previous car's ICE, Rims, etc stuff to install into their new K3?

 

I have some stuff I still like , and would like to bring over... e.g. 17" rims, underseat Sub, Amp etc....

I intend to bring some of my audio stuffs to my new car as they are good stuffs to give away like my amp, sub... Nope. it shall not get any issue with the warranty except the stuffs you bring in no warranty.:) Used to work as a KIA service advisor before. What void if u alter the engine bay like adding fuel saving stuffs.. strut bars no void.

 

Yeah they give me paper money. Nothing more so why give unless cannot be used for the new car like strut bar.

on the day when I collect my kia K3 sports, my old ride rims was able to swap over to my new car but u need to check with the 2nd hand dealer.

 

Take note of the new Kia K3 rims spec to make sure your old rims able to fit in. (7 x 17 offset 49. 5 x 114.3) and the centre hub is 67.1.

 

currently my ride is still running in and so far the 1st day I collected my car is 15.7L / 100km and now is 9.8L / 100km

Anyone knows how the process goes after placing deposit for COE bid? If successful bid, how long do you have before having to pay downpayment and accepting delivery of the car?

It's about 10 days before your car is ready for collection. This is for C&C Kia cars. Different AD / PI different practice.

I mean you can drag the payment to 10 days before you collect the car. The car will need 2.5 weeks to get ready.

 

One PI I visited quoted 1 week after successful bidding can get the car.

Just saw the latest price list from KIA and the package which I bought for K3 went up $2000/-. Lucky bought my unit last fri.

 

I thought they mention that the price will change after the weekend is a gimmick to persuade me to sign.

My case I only went down to downpay 2weeks after my deposit.

 

It's reali depends how u talk to yr SE, and how's your SE level of service.

That's why cannot always assume SE is playing tricks to secure the deals. Have to open eyes bigger & ears wider to hear all the news..Some pple juz dont wanna listen. Good for you Bro. Welcome the family. Got time go to SG KCF forum, and join the K3 whatapps group.

 

Damn Poisonous

Haha, I also thought it was a gimmick to get people to put deposit down...

The price might be increased to put pressure on fence sitters to sign the deal and not because they are expecting the next round of COEs to increase by 2k. If most others ADs are doing likewise, increasing their prices, then it might not be a gimmick.

Did Kia not increase their prices by 1-2k a few days before the last COE exercise only to see the price increase by only $300 for Cat A? If there is a history, then obviously it is a gimmick.
