You do know that carsearch and garvitrek do vehicle recovery right....as in..when they come to thief it...give them the keys and tell them have a nice day.


Dsi, buy yuh qashqui, when someone else crash theirs and need parts, you'll see how effective your alarm is. lol

[christopherwilliams2]

The point I was makin is that I do not want to be approached for my vehicle in de first place. I don't care about tellin dem have a nice day...dey takin yuh car...an' who tell yuh dey takin it jus so...some ah dem bad mind and firing shot on yuh.

Once the CHANCE of car jackin' is reduced...that's what I am interested in...recovery being a top priority assumes dey lef yuh alive...

[agent007]

Having security systems in place is always a big plus but I rather they thief my car than having to find my vehicle "found" at the side of the road all crashed/banged up and my suspension in a mess. The theft excess will still apply in addition to whatever depreciation incurred. So the insurance end up paying you less deductions and then what? You have to put out money from your pocket to fix your vehicle properly?

I prefer to collect a cheque from the insurance for the value insured less the deductions and then add that same amount of money towards another vehicle. All things being equal, a better vehicle.

People still think bandits discriminating against model, as long as they want it, they will try to steal it

kia cerato 1.6L fully loaded - TT$175,000.00
kia cerato sport 1.6L - TT$185,000.00
kia cerato sport 2.0L - TT$215,000.00

SSS need to check themselves....the 2.0L is now more than a 2.0L Octavia and just $1000 less than the VW Jetta 1.4 Twin-charged

[gundelero]

tru...

that vw 1.4 tsi is very very sexy.

[mimi007]

I see toyota brought back the terios again, anyone know the price this rounds? I saw it in the mall but there were no reps to give a price

[*$kїđž!™]

Terious seems okay---guessing basic at $ 165 therof.....

[scotty_buttons]

Saw the New model SONATA this morning..lookin good! a bit smaller than what i imagined though..anyone can confirm the different trims and prices for them available? and which engine options do they have?

[trinigamer]

When buying a new car, what discounts are available? How do you get them?

[Alpha_2nr]

^^You ASK.

[cinco]

hear what go to the sales person and say "i want this car, now you tell me why i should buy it from you and not a different sales person"
buhlee dat it works

[agent007]

customer: I would like that car, prepare a quotation for me
salesrep: right on it now Sir
customer: that price you told me, is that the best you can do?
salesrep: yes Sir, its already heavily discounted, in fact it comes with free tint, mats, alarm, stereo, factory a/c, reverse sensors, lenny sumadh plates and free service for 1 year plus an extra bonus warranty of 3yrs or 100,000kms whichever one comes first
customer: I know this, I just saw it on the flyer but you haven't answered my question..
salesrep: Well, I can direct you to the sales manager...
customer: who gets the commission?
salesrep: me of course
customer: but you expect me to negotiate with your manager?
salesrep: but you said you wanted a discount?
customer: yes indeed I know what I said but I'm already on my lunch hour and you still expect me to walk into the tinted glass office and negotiate a price?
salesrep: I will do that for you Sir
customer: now hurry up before I tell him what a lame sales person you are
salesrep: okay Sir, thank you Sir, I will proceed to do so now and will call you as soon as possible
customer: okay, I hope you do better than the other salesrep right next door, I have a prepared certified cheque made out to your company who also sells multiple brands and the other guy promised me a better vehicle for $5k less and did so in less than a minute, you probably know him, Mr. X Y
salesrep: indeed Sir, we went sales workshops together
customer: well I see who listened and who did not, I await your call.

The verdict? The salesrep's Manager gave him a $7k discount. (Real account of what happened on Christmas season 09')

[Alpha_2nr]

^That sales rep got pwned

But you must have a real good memory to recall that convo so specifically since 2009

[cinco]

see same thing i said
got me the midgrade version of my car with mats and alarm and alloy wheels for the base model price this was back in 2005 tho

[acesinghit]

Discounts are always there so the salesrep above should know that. Case in point, a co-worker of mine back in 2008 purchased a Nissan Teana 200JK for $10k less than the list price all because of negotiation. Its just that we trinis are quick to settle for anything. I know the salesrep must make ah food so dont get me wrong but I usually go straight to the sales manager if I wanna negotiate. I'll leave the rep to get my car detailed and tinted ands get it licensed/registered and collect cco.

But somehow yuh cant negotiate a Tucson or Sorento....is either you serious or yuh not. Sad though.

[Monk BANzai]

^Correct is right.

The 'Xtrail Classic" is in fact a new car (checked the tag on the base of the seatbelts...all 2009/2010), as other markets (Malaysia etcv IIRC) still have "demand" for the older bodystyle of the X-Trail.

Hence the X-Trail is actually offered with both the new bodystyle, and the old one (cheaper with a smaller engine IIRC).

Alpha,

I noticed that the "classic" Trails dont have the rear spoiler....what size engines they come with? the QR20 or QR25?

[Alpha_2nr]

^^Unkle, I've heard that the classics come with the QR20....I never really made it my bizness to watch the enginebay of a Classic.

I'm pretty sure (confirmed with one at least) that the "bigger" new shape X-Trail comes with the 2.5L.


Thought you wanted a BL/BP? DIdn't think you were looking at an X-Trail

[Monk BANzai]

^^ found me a really good BL....but i always loved the old school Xtrial....if i can find one with a QR25...i'll take it....but the QR25's are rare here.....and i dont like that "bullfrog" shape of the new one......

[acesinghit]

banzai, all X-Trail classics have the dated QR20DE now. The new X-Trail has the QR25DE in it. The classics lack the rear spoiler and the sunroof. The previous X-Trail with the QR25DE can be spotted easily...they come with factory fogs, real leather seats, electric seat, and of course the sunroof and rear spoiler. Very unpopular they were but impressive engines nevertheless. Somehow the 2.5 is the better motor for that SUV as it is torquey.
