Finally I was able to confirm yun features sa citimotors.. then next step is yun color which I preferred which is Q.brown.. Again i did a barrage of inquiries for the color and found a dealer who has one, after confirmation I went on to process my application for bank financing. And the sales agent asked for reservation of 50K because their manager will not procure the unit from the plant with my PO still in process for a 5k reservation only..

So what the heck, I did my part and paid the 50K reservation expecting the unit at the end of this month.. But guess what, the sales Agent called me and told me that at the time of their inquiry of Q.brown ASX gls 2012 availabilty it was there but days after I paid they say its gone. And I don't know if this is blessing in disguise but they said the 2013 model is coming out by the end of october to november, so they said Its better to wait for it..

Anyway after 3 days ago another agent from diamond motors that I earlier encountered but has no Q.Brown ASX GLS before confirmed to me that a 2012 ASX gls Brown arrived just this morning.. I was waiting for him to tell me if there would be a 2013 ASX model coming out, but I got a reply about 45mins later.. He then confirmed that yes a 2013 model was coming this late october( imagine they won't divulge this to dispose earlier models first and I also got this info that some agents/dealers would even give a 2011 model and change the year model thru some miracle work thru LTO).

Now I am confuse whether to wait for the 2013 or get this 2012, by the way Im trapped with the other dealer because of the 50k reservation which I know is refundable but I doubt I can get in 2 weeks time(I know someone who got his refund 5 weeks later for a 5k reservation only).. My budget includes that 50k. Theres no updated price for this 2013 unit yet but the sales agent said it won't be much and he could arrange for the discount to just balanced out from the price of the 2012 model..

Im getting impatient but seems to be I just have to wait..

My Agent and dealer was able to pull it off.. i got my 2013 ASX GLS this afternoon.. After telling them I would go with the 2012 model from other dealers and refund my 50k, they were able to confirm that there are units already in customs and that they would definitely do everthing so I could get a 2013 unit.. And with exaggerated patience on my part they were able to secure it in advance even if there system has no pricing available for asx 2013 yet.. I don't know if this is true but they said I was the "FIRST" one to get a 2013 ASX model...

obvious changes were the front fascad is sleeker, new fog lamps with chrome siding, Power doorside mirror with signal lamps(previously with SE only), additional chrome on side..inside they said the steering wheel control is upgraded and so with the stereo..
