kia pre-selling?

[dbhollanda]

Better clear this up with your SA kasi according to my SA wala talagang pre-selling ang EX variant, LX lang ang may pre-selling, LX gas and diesel 4x2 and 4x4.

here's the latest update from my SA in Sucat.

she called up their plant and the plant confirmed that they will not offer in the preselling the 4x2/4x4 crdi 7 seater meaning only the 5-seater will be available for the preselling. though i'm still waiting for the feedback from Ryan of Pasig...

and she confirmed that the spoiler cost only 7K that's why i asker her to install one for my reserved crdi 5-seater unit.

i also asked her the cost to install the signal light for the side mirror and she will have to ask for the cost as she doesnt have it yet.

question lang mga bro...

i already gave my downpayment (300K) to Kia Plant in bicutan last 3rd week of March 2010 for the 4x2 crdi variant. original dealer ko na kausap is sucat. but the OR for the 300k down came from Kia Plant and not sucat dealer.

question is: can i instead go thru the deal when the time comes na dumating na yung vehicle but instead of sucat dealer i'll go to other dealers i.e. pasig or marikina or whatever dealer na may mga freebies?

dbh...

I think this is not possible unless malakas ka sa matataas nang Kia, Meron kasing agreement lahat nang Kia Branches na once na na engage ka na sa isang branch and decided to purchase dun ka lang talaga sa branch na yun. The other branches will not accept you.. company Policy nila yan para walang agawan of away between branches...

I remember nung bibili pa lang ako sa Kia marikina and i was asking for a test drive unit eh ang may available lang na test drive unit eh Kia Ortigas.. nakapag pa qoute na ako sa Marikina that time... Kia marikina called Kia Ortigas for us to have a test drive. Nung andun na kami sa Ortigas at may SA na nag assist sa amin for Test drive, ultimong pag hingi sa kanila nang qoute di pwede. And they are not allowed to discuss sales with us since we are already locked sa Kia Marikina... ganun sila ka strict sa policy na yun

Is Kia branches owned by a single company? or is it like hyundai...ibat ibang owner per branch

kasi pag iba iba... do what i did when i bought my mother's Santa Fe... nag pa quote ako sa different branches and honestly said to each that I was canvassing. Ayun....I got the best deal sa suki kong dealer in E. Rod because tinapatan nila ang best quote I got. If I didn't do that I was settling for what E. Rod is just offering. Honestly, it was just a mistake to have done that... I was looking for Hyundai's EDSA tel number sa website but could not find it. Kaya I called Shaw to ask...ayun sabi ng agent nakasagot, he would like to submit also. That is where it started, nagpatayan sila sa freebies until I was able to get a fully loaded SF with discount pa and freebies....insurance lang hindi ko nakuha. O diba....honest mistake which resulted to a good deal.

I think may ibaiba rin, because Kia North Edsa is only connected with Kia Pampanga and not the other Kia dealerships anywhere in the metropolis.

i got an update from Ryan (Pasig) just now that he called up the plant and he confirmed that 4x2/4x4 crdi 7 seater is not part of the preselling. BUT there will be units available but will sell it on regular SRP (again not preselling SRP). i asked him to get back to me on the price for the 4x2 crdi 7 seater and when will it be available.

I know how cars are priced in the Philippines. My focus is not how much the vehicle would cost but how the dealers take advantage of Filipino buyers due to lack of awareness. Let's just stick on the thread title.

First, why 6 months of waiting time? Is that how long these vehicles are produced or KIA is just waiting for unsold units from other locations (Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, etc) to clear out?

Second, what would they want P300k to reserve a unit for? Is P10k or 20k not enough? P300k is simple and plain extortion.

As of this time, I'm sure KIA is in the process of developing already next year's model update. While some pinoy buyers wait for 6 months for their units to arrive, a few month's later a new version will be announced. Suddenly, this year's model release becomes last year's hot model. Value wise, not good.

While KIA is so desperate to capture American and European buyers by virtually giving their cars away, Pinoys are being misdirected to accept a so-called deal with a lot of holes.

I simply hope that KIA levels up their marketing efforts, the same way they do it in other countries, and stop preying on people who are somewhat gullible on this pre-selling assertions.

I think yung 6 months po is the longest waiting period but assured naman that the units may arrive earlier maybe within 3 or 4 months naman sabi ng sales agent na nakausap ko. And also the P300k reservation fee serves as a discount na rin diba?

For example:

Sorento 4x2 Crdi
Introductory Price = 1.595M
Discount = 300K
Pre-selling Price = 1.295M

Less 300k agad sa price if you reserve now, and the 300k reservation fee is deductible pa from the pre-selling price.. so lalabas na 995K na lang ang balance mo... Anyway, refundable naman siya in 6months if the unit is not delivered eh, nothing to lose. Kapag nilagay mo sa bank ang 300k mo hindi naman yun mag-eearn ng 300k din. And besides, parang Kia lang ang nagbibigay ng ganyan kalaking discount. In my opinion lang po
