Why CNC give 5 yrs warranty?

i think the main reason is because many kia owners never go back to CNC for servicing. they lose a lot of revenue in this area. to make owners go back to them, they come up with this 5 yrs warranty thing. what do you think?

You have a point but I think primarily it is targeting to those potential buyers who are still hesitating between Toyota/Japan made cars which presumably has higher quality and resale value as compared to Kia and sway them over.

As Kia 'eloquently' puts it, value we are there.

1) to increase the resale value
2) to clear doubts of Kia's quality
3) to boost Kia's image that they are the only one providing 5-year unlimited warranty (shame on PML and other prestigious retailers)

Why because they want to piss the older owners off?

Cause the forte margin is damn high so they can afford to add such stuff. New buyers better "extort" more freebies from your SE!

go read up on the freebies the "older" owners had....
i think we got more since forte was not popular yet...

Got difference. Nothing to do with 3-5 yrs but the warranty is only for new purchases and does not retrospect to old customers. Sounds like one of the telcos u know?

heh heh... no difference cos my ride dun have...

As what I had posted earlier....

Change this change that... CnC also void this void that... I think by second year... not applicable liow.

the forte profit margin is a one time thing. just imagine how much they will earn if you let them service everything for the 5 years.

But price also increased by alot. For instance i buy at 56k COE 18k.. Now 59k COE 16k..

They always say COE will increase.. BS!!!!

I believe it is to generate more sales both for the cars and for the workshop.

The law of supply and demand bros........

You must admit... the demand for the Forte and Koup HAS gone up.

i would say that cnc has a clever marketing team. such a team will bring more profits for the company

5 yr warranty tie u down for their servicing, that's really good way to earn money......

err if you look at another view... it can also mean...

because KIA car suck and easily break down that's why C&C going for 5 yrs warranty....

Cause if a product is gd and durable give me 1 week warranty more then enough... but if the product suck give me 100 yr warranty I also not interested cause when I purchase something I want to use it and not put it at repair centre most of the time...

i thought when a company gives a long warranty it usually mean that they have faith in their product?

KIA wouldn't be so naive to give 5 yrs warranty if their products CMI, will be counter productive to them....what they want is to makan the after sales servicing which bring big money for them...

Hi bros,

My SE just called and told me that I can top up $2k for 5yrs unlimited warranty. Do you think it's worth it if I intend to drive for 4-5yrs?

I rather top up 2K and C&C give me FREE 3 years servicing include labour cost. 3 years warranty for me is enough.

Ha ha as long as need to top up then nothing is free to me

they do have faith. but as the same time also want to increase revenue for their workshops.

guess they have alot of existing headlight to replace for the unique headlight.
