I'm getting slightly concern now. How much do you guys pay for normal and major servicing then?

 

Looks like yearly running cost (maintenance and road tax) of this car could easily be 2.5x my current car.

 

Appreciate if you could share lobang how you guys reduce it. Thanks

I had one that I port over from my previous car, mine was wireless - TyreDog TD1400A-X. I have been using it for the last four years no issues. Bought from Aliexpress about USD$200. It helps as it shows any irregularity/drop in tyre pressure. I dont have to change to spare tyres since I got these. There are other brands of tpms... but I prefer the screw in type. It is too ugly for others to steal too and useless with the display unit.

Hi! Before you sign the purchase agreement, there are lots of good SE, after you sign, all SE are deaf, they can't hear you anymore. This was my experience, gd luck bro.

Decide on what you want before going down, and ask for it to be written down on the sales agreement.

 

After that, that's it.

Found a shop that can customize scuff plates.....

The picture is an example that they sent.....the wordings, fonts, colors all can change....

Tempted. :p

[Briancsl]

Signed in End July. For $110k 9 NG bids.

 

Passed by 2 bids. Still 7 more to go.....They bidded at $52k Cat B.

A long time to wait....

 

Has anyone able to quit the deal without penalty?

 

A Renault SE told me, can be done without forfeiting the deposit.

 

But i'm still waiting for them to call me. 

 

The GPC4 is so attractive.. high omv too...
