I thought EX is just basic model, dont have leather seat..

and SX is the better model which got leather seats.. so for SX can only get solar films.. whereas EX ( cheaper one) can get more stuffs???

mine EX, ask freebie from SE reverse sensor, alram,RickCool solar films and leather seats

Anyone of you just ordered an OPC Cerato Forte? Can I check what are the freebies you all managed to get from SA for an OPC Cerato Forte?

Thanks alot.

So have you decide which model to take? The EX or the SX model.

For EX, there is simply of lot of freebies you can get, see how power your sweet talk can be. You can try getting the reverse sensor, solar films for your windows, car mats or petrol voucher duno about the leather seat cos I tink it comes with it.

As for SE, noting much cos most of the specs follows the 2L Forte. What you try to get is solar films and try hard for leather seats.

i think so too leh.. coz i dun get so many freebies leh.. oni managed a solar film and a bear bear..

I never get any freebies leh.
I asked for a 1 year loan instead so my total interest payable is only SGD6xx.
My SE says her manager will waive the $1500 but can't get freebies

dandeana21, you mean they gave you a soft toy(bear)? I got solar film with free bodykit for my OPC. think there is a limit to the free things the SE will give since they are not making much money compared to selling a normal car.

Hi guys, I'll be meeting my SE for the paperwork 2moro...how long will it take for before I can finally lay my hands on my "mistress"?

Hi Bro Forte. Can I ask when did u book yr car? I booked my in March 5 09 still haven get after a month. Hopeful to get it by end april.

Your paperwork will consist of LTA CLEARANCE. This will take at least a week ba. Also depends on whether yours is normal or OPC plate. OPC will take another say two weeks cos of the sealing. What I can say is your car can't make it for this coming week tcss. Looks like you have to wait beside my Forte

I booked the car on 29th March, initially for a Bronze Metal 1.6SX (A), was told that collection will be around June/July period.
After taking into account the COE pattern, my family situation, I made a check with my SE if there's any stock available that's not taken yet and was told there's a few manual available and auto is all out coz 9/10 orders are for automatics.
I made the decision to switch to a Titanium Silver 1.6SX(M). Got the COE on the first bid last round(it's from other rounds of bid but don't really matter to me lah ha). That's about it to current.

One of the main reason I did the change was that the waiting list for automatic is really long and the COE quota vs the numbers of bids. By laying my hands on an available stock, was hoping to increase my chances of getting my COE first since it's to C&C advantage if they can clear their on hand stock asap.

Cool! Wise decision.

Finally sign the papers liao yay!.....

LTA so rich....car also must pay radio license .

Paid extra $500 for rikecool solar flims.

Gonna do the PPS at unique once I collect the vehicle.

Bodykit forget it, married liao must control the $$$ better!

Fortec, If they just state solar films, I wonder what brand solar films they will give???

So when you sign the papers, how much more you need to pay Kia? I thought radio license included.

Yeah, isn't the radio license included in the price?

dreamzzlandz wrote:Fortec, If they just state solar films, I wonder what brand solar films they will give???

It's Rikecool flims, premium 28...not very dark but ok lah...

Oh I told her to add in another half year of road tax plus the radio license...so they go hand in hand with my insurance window.

So basically...

$44999 car
Zero Top up for CAT E COE $5896 (rebate equivalent to same round CAT A $5116)
$382.50 for extra 6month road tax and radio license
$500 for Rikecool solar flim premium 28
$1831.22 for Insurance
$ 603 total interest for the car loan

Total: $47313.72

It's been about 3years since I drove my last car, so yeah I have to start from 0 NCD again.
Insurance premium is different for everyone due to age, existing NCD, no of years driving etc etc.

Ermmm bro... I think you kana "tok" for the Solar flim lah... coz the other time SE told me solar flim half half I pay only S$475 when post on mycarforum about tis they were saying total coz should be S$900 so if half half then is S$450 so I told SE don't wan... N She was tellin me the Solar Flim is one of the betta once... Ermmm... have you sign???? if not check with your SE again lor...

It's ok lah, look at my total interest for the car loan

She pretty much get nothing from the car loan, so I don't really mind pay a bit more for the "Freebies".

Upfront, we were quite direct liao, I want to pay little interest and she said that means she can't give me "Freebies".

The amount I saved from the loan interest is enough to cover any freebies that I want but I don't really need those anyways.

rike cool/v cool i dont know. SG can get solar flim for $200 +

Hi Peeps,

Today i booked my ride 1.6EX Metallic Bronze OPC
given free bodykit, leather seats, reverse sensors and car alarm.
Wanted to request for solar films but my SE said the windows are already self tinted, so nvr pursue further.
Good deal?

Fortei = Fortec fren fren??? haha

Fortei, wow.. its really good deal for an OPC.. Your SE so generous, I thought for OPC the freebies not so many things one..

For me, only get solar film free when book OPC 1.6 SX(A) with body kit since its weekend promotion.

Then the SE said the car got alarm, I even want mat, but the SE said it will come with carpets.. because SX already got leather seats, normal alarm, reverse sensors included. Look like bo hua to buy SX since almost all the things included..

But for OPC to get leather seats is really a good deal, I thought only normal EX then the SE will give.. so you are very lucky..

for EX, the reverse sensors and alarm should be oridi part of the package from CnC and not freebie from SE le...

As for the solar firm if it is freebie from SE, it should be Rikecool premere 25 which I am currently using. Imo, so far very disappointing cause i don't find it effective at all.....

Tinted might mean only windows panel being masked with black color film, reducing visualibility from outside sight but is it heat-repeal? U need to confirm with your SE...

is the SE your friend? it is hard to believe that he will offer you leather seats for an OPC.. I am wondering if he earn any thing or he just want to hit his own quota. For an OPC EX, getting so many things is unbelievable.. you got a great deal.

The reverse gear of EX quite funny, its like in the position of our gear 1.. ( follow continental car) whereas normal reverse gear is at bottom right.
