Dealer Freebies

[gridlock]

I just want to ask if it's normal for a dealer to give the freebie items of the car you bought from him when you have the car has it's 1st maintenance at 7,500km. This is what my Kia dealer told me when I bought from Kia Quezon Ave. a Rio.

[ILuvDetailing]

Yes its normal. What freebies are we talking about here?

[claRkEnt]

AFAIK, they usually give the freebies upon delivery of the unit.

frisbee na yan kung kelan ka lang babalik saka ka bibigyan

What items are those? Kung corporate giveaways, naubos na ata nung pasko. Kung auto accessory, usually may delay lang kung OEM and out of stock. Pero kung readily available yung part/giveaway, they are supposed to give them to you upon deliver of the unit.

my dad recently check the toyota vios in Q.ave.

tinanong ng dad ko mga kasamang freebies. sabi nung SA, "tapos na po yung promo namin na free 3yrs LTO insurance".

haha totoo ba to? or ogag lang ung SA sa q.ave?

They just recycle their 'promos'. Babalik din iyan soon. Baka gawing Valentine's promo or graduation promo. Just ask what promo they have at this time. If hindi maganda. Abangan na lang ulit ang pagrecycle ng promo.

Yung Kia dati (circa '98). Nag-advertise pa sa diyaryo na 2 years warranty daw sila. Nung bumili kami, biglang naging 1 year na lang ang warranty! Buti na lang naka-file sa akin yung newspaper ad. Wala silang lusot. Ngayon 3 years warranty na lahat ng private use units sa kanila. hehehe.

Right now promo ng Toyota is cash discounts and raffle. The tint (3M upgrade), matting and other small doodads are usually SOP, you just have to discuss it with the sales personnel and sales manager. Pinaka-barat na na-encounter ko so far is Honda. :P

This really gets my goat and is one of my pet peeves. Minsan naman magbibigay ng discount tapos babawiin din dahil sasabihin 'tapos na yung promo na libre ganito ganyan.' O kaya sasabihin sorry ho yung promo para lang sa model na ganito ganyan ... grrr!

They think it's marketing, but it turns me off so much I walk every time maka-encounter ng ganito and either postpone for months or get a totally different car!

Yung sa LTO, I've NEVER bought ANY car that I've paid LTO for .. except for a fee if you're requesting a special license plate like repeating same numbers, etc. Iba iba yata ang rate noon depende kung gaano ka-rare yung plate request mo ... nakalagay kasi mismo sa LTO yung fees.

[GerardTagayty]

us din we have never paid for the LTO thing even the the car we bought from the grey market libre registration and the special plate. yun last car purchased namin libre tint both front windows and the whole windshield the rear windows were already tinted glass (i asked the manong na nagkakabit usually 8k daw yun tint na napakabit) and a car cover that was given to us at the first maintenance thing.

mazda has a 3 year zero interest right now.kung may pera lang ako.

[gridlock]

Yes its normal. What freebies are we talking about here?

The dealer said its the standard items: tint, matting, seat cover. Hinihiritan ko nga ng alarm eh mukhang ayaw.

[Virtue]

Sir, Tanong ko lang. Extra charge ba, if I ask for a car paint color? As per their advertisement (Isuzu Crosswind), they mentioned all the available paint colors, but when I asked for black color for Xwind XTi variant. He told me to add 12,000pesos. This is reasonable? also 8,500pesos for LTO (3yrs) .

[GerardTagayty]

oh and i also i got a rear parking sensor thingie on the first maintenance thingie... humihirit ako ng tow hitch wala na.. hehehe....

This is true? zero interest for 3years. Very good promo. Masda tribute included in this promo?

[Virtue]

Sir Tylerdude, can you please give me the dealer email or contact no. for this mazda promo with 3years zero interest, maybe mazda tribute is included. its a big chance for me.

[dopamine101]

This is reasonable? also 8,500pesos for LTO (3yrs) .

6,500php LTO (3yrs) sa toyota

[felicx]

*pup2: LTO registration sa quotation ng dealers are bogus? Actually I have a quotation from Honda for City and naka-include ito. So does this mean na pwedeng ipa-waive ito from them?

Actually, I am a bit discouraged nga din with Honda kasi yung standard items lang daw ang freebie nila... Balak ko pa naman ipa-upgrade yung wheels to at least 15".

[Galactus]

Di yata tama na ibigay yung freebie after the 1st PMS at 7,500kms.

When I bought my Sentra 10 years ago, binigay lahat ng promised freebies (except the 50% off on insurance), nung pagakakuha ko ng unit sa casa.

Sana sabihin mo yung bayad mo bibigay mo rin sa kanila after 15,000kms. para patas

[mhelskie]

wala na bang ibang casa na may 3yrs 0% interest promo? eto kelangan namin para makamit ang aming hinahangad na SUV ;)
