new Ford Fiesta owner, some questions

**Louie Anson Ng** · September 17th, 2013 10:28 PM

Hi guys, my family just recently purchased a Ford Fiesta Trend sedan AT owner and I was hoping to get some information in preparation for the future (in case of repairs, etc) since I'm considered a newbie when it comes to automobiles. We bought it at Ford Commonwealth in cash with the following discounts and freebies:

50k cash discount
23k for insurance with AOG
Free LTO registration for 3 years

Platinum Magic tint
Rain gutter/window visor
seat cover
1 year era card
10L gas
standard matting
Free PMS for 1k (labor and parts) and 10k (labor only)

1. Is the deal considered a good one?
2. Based on what I read on the other threads, some dealers are known to be bad at servicing. The nearest Ford service center from my location is in Otis, but I haven't seen anyone around that has had their car serviced there. Is the service good in Otis and are there any other branches that have good services?
3. Are there already parts available for this model outside the casa, and are the prices for the parts almost the same as those of the Japanese counterparts?
4. Given the reputation that Ford has, should I be prepared for any broken parts within the next few months or years? The reason I chose this car over other Japanese brands was that the features that came with it, as well as a better looking interior (albeit a smaller legroom and headroom at the back) for me. My friends recommended getting the Vios instead as it is they said that Ford cars have a low fuel economy and the parts for Ford are hard to find, but I still chose this instead. It would be a shame if something bad happened to the car a mere months after purchase and people saying "I told you so."

Thanks

depende yan kung kaya ng rubbing compound or wax, pakiramdaman mo yung scratch kung malalim o sa top coat lang. yan lang mahirap kapag nakapark sa labas yung sasakayan wala kau peace of mind kasi hindi nyo alam baka me tumata*^nta'o na.

Sir ganito po kasi ichura ng gasgas... medyo magaspang siya pag kinakapa, and gray yung nakikita kong color sa line mismo... I'm not sure kung top coat lang ang tinamaan or kasama na yung primer.. ang sakit lang sa puso wala pang 3 days nabinyag na ng ganyan....may bantay naman yung area namin na 2 na guardya, pero sinabi raw nila di raw nila nakita sino gumawa...we can't blame them di naman sila robot para 24 hours titigan sasakyan namin..haha

Define medyo magaspang. If you can really "feel" how deep the scratch is, it has gone deep down and you'll be needing a paint touchup. It's not something paint correction can handle (which corrects your clearcoat)
