Can zeng reverse camera? "no such thing"
Can the dash cam be front & back? "no such thing"
Can give 3m floor mat? "no such thing"
Can get money back if i dont want your solar film? "no such thing"

Have la. Go to Ubi accessories dept and ask.

Tried asking my SE, he said no such thing.

I know it's been discussed before but I really couldn't find the post, plus there 600+ pages to go through here....

I know the boot tray not available locally and have to order from Mazda Thailand, but can any bros here point me to which website or who I can contact to order the boot tray for the 3 deluxe sedan?

Thanks in advance!

Bro if you really need go to Mazda.co.th you will need Google translate if you can't read Thai. Cash and carry I believe.

Wah. Please share the name of your SE (PM me if need be) so I can avoid.

Do you have anything placed at the center area of the main console (above the center speaker grill)? The GPS antenna is located below it. Or did you install VKool solar film or something similar that can block out GPS signal? Else just go back to service center to fix it please.

Hi Brother,
I didn't install anything
Just don't know why suddenly the GPS doesn't work
Really need to feedback to Mazda

Side note, anyone with the 'upgraded' LCD screen on standard trim? Is it able to play songs directly off iPhone when plugged into the USB socket?

Not sure about iPhone.
But my upgraded lcd can play from android phone and thumb drive.

In the first place shouldn't there be a booklet or manual of servicing records which has the details of what jobs are to be done at each servicing which the servicing engineer needs to stamp or sign off each time the servicing is completed? Most cars nowadays have that no?

Just enjoy the collection process bro...

What you just listed are all covered under warranty. Even if you detected an anomaly, given that it is not a biggie, you will probably still drive off and get the workshop to rectify at a later date right? If your SE is responsible, she/he would have done a walk around check for you already.

�

But you might want go check out and get your tyre properly inflated after collection.. they are usually over/under inflated.

�

You can order from TEK. No need Thailand.

I am keen to get the boot tray but overshipping charge costs 1/2 of what the tray costs....

I think it's better do a proper check before collection. Anything major don't sign off so that they will rectify faster. Once collected they will take their own sweet time or not take the issue seriously. Some bros here encounter difficulties having their issues resolve swiftly after collection.

$150? With foot rest and install?

Installation very easy one. I think it's a rubber just 'wear' it over. Later you ask them install they say need to wait 3 hours.. I went for 1k servicing took the whole day liao.. Tmd.. Because i walk in. Complained so knocking sound on front sup ask me walk in.. Went at 9am went back at 4.15pm car still outside. They only start inspect my car at 4.30 and car is done with lubricating my front sup stopper..car done by 6pm.. Wasted one day..
If you keen on the pedal, tb have plus shipping confirm less than 50, but different quality though

Anyone know where to put the ferrite core to reduce interference for radio? Thanks

It's only brake pad is slip on but accelerator and foot rest need to drill holes. You better check first. Forget about TB. I already have a set.

Yes i am dead serious. Visit TEK Ubi accessories counter to find out more.

I just called ubi accessories department and they said yes they know Mazda Thailand have this boot tray but it's not available in Singapore.

Not even as custom order.

6397 7863 is the number to call

I did the same mod ;)

Im a new owner of standard edition and have some questions.

�

1. Where can I get the fog lights done? Also, can I just get it fixed but I don't need wiring. Its just for appearance.

�

2. The car audio /cd set - does it have bluetooth function? Does it have usb-plug in function? (i.e. I load mp3 files in a thumbdrive and just plug into the USB port to play.

�

3. Does it have iphone audio function? Like when i plug my iphone to the USB port, the system can play from my iphone.

To answer your questions:

1. You can get it from JDM Autocare. You can leave it not connected if you wish so.

I can't help you with question #2 and 3. Maybe bros with standard Mazda 3 can help you with them.

Yeah! SE informed car is registered today and ready for collection tomorrow. I just wanna give a shoutout to him that I thought he is rather efficient.

�

I found out the process from him that, upon successful bid of COE, we make the balance payment via cheque/cashiers order. The clearance of payment and car insurance application will be processed con-currently.

�

Actually, upon successful bid of COE, my SE had already booked the appointment for the car to be to ready for collection. He adds that, it typically takes 5 days to prep a standard and 7 days to prep a deluxe.

�

During which, the company the above process of clearing the finance and insurance plus car �registration can happen.�

�

Although, I did not to get many freebies from him, just the standard ones, but I thought he was rather efficient in handling matters with frequent and prompt updates.�

�

On hindsight, probably I got the existing stock, thus they could and wanted to have processed it with more "urgency".

Luckily my SE was honest about this. She told me there was no need to take guaranteed COE. TEK always secure COE within 6 bids.

�

how many biddings already for both of you when your SEs asked to top up?

�

if only 2-3 bids, i dun feel the need to do so unless u r in urgent need of the car. I think you should question the SE if its TEK's decision or his/her own decision to top up as they were saying the bidding is done by their management team. So does that mean TEK informed your SE to inform u to top up or his/her own decision so that u can have better chance of securing the COE?

so you mean its better to choose the non guarantee bids?

You mean to say the dealers will be more in a disadvantage position if they fail to bid the COE after you place the deposit and they order the car?

You mean to say the dealers will be more in a disadvantage position if they fail to bid the COE after you place the deposit and they order the car?

Of course its better to choose non guarantee... 1st of all, u save some cash!

And of course, its a disadvantage if dealer fail to secure coe for the buyer. Imagine company has forecast the sales but yet fail to invoice customer... That will means no revenue for the company! Hence dealers will try to secure coe as long as its still profitable. And if coe continue to go up north, they will use open cat which was bidded earlier, or ask buyer to top up.

Yeah bro

hmm.. can't the car be allocated to buyer B if say the dealer can't secure a COE bid for Buyer A ? Of course thats some lead time as the car they order will sit for 6 or more bid la..lol

Of course can let B have it if A coe bid wasn't successful. But eventually A will still get a car not unless no more Open Cat or coe too high to be profitable. End of the day, they want sales and market share.

Btw, sales is always a number game. They have monthly quota to meet. Don't be surprise they will intentionally keep some sales figures for next month if this month they already meet their budget.

I think whether it's guarantee or non will depends on individual situation. Whether you have a trade to trade in, how urgently u need a car etc.

My boss bought an altis during the big Coe drop last yr. after 5 Coe bids was told to top up about $6-8k. Boss refused and did not get his Coe after the final bid. He went to buy vezel after that. But resale value of his car dropped and he only got his deposits back to his cc about 2-3months later - LL got to slowly spend the money away from his cc.

LOL... tell your boss he can call the bank to have the money refunded via cheque. No need to slowly spend. Use credit card to earn discount, points or cash rebate, don't ever use it just because there's credit inside. (unless he only has 1 card)

second to this. Bought and installed on the 3rd day cos the engine noise/vibration from the bus is killing me slowly right from the 1st day. reduced engine noise significantly but cannot reduce the noise from rough road. Do note that the tape stickiness may not be up to your expectation as it does come off every now and then. So when installing, try not to stretch it and try to run your finger along the rubber to ensure that the rubber lining sticks to it. �

Those are standard freebies offered by TEK. Anything more will be out of their commission.

Its all a matter of order books. If they have plenty of orders on hand, they will give priority to those cars with highest profit. Plus if the shipment commitment from Jpn is less than their orders, and if customers kanchiong and want the car badly, then top up to increase their priority queue. Its just business. I also top up 1k because I needed the car. Immediately they gave me open cat which was 2k above.

I was also asked to top up today for COE bidding.�

Are u desperate for a car?

2K can do a lot of things. And moreover, still non guarantee after top up. If I'm u i will just wait and see.

My SE told me that the more discounts u get upfront, the lower the COE rebate level, and they will bid lower for u as well.

Haha... Not true la.

COE rebate is the same across for all whom bought same time (maybe by same week, or before next bidding). So it has nothing to do with discounts or freebies.

As for bidding lower, it may be true though as they need to consider whether still profitable after giving too many discounts/freebies. End of the day, their intention is to make money.

I wouldn't top up if I was you unless you really need the car urgently. Personally, I was pretty lucky and got my car in the first bid even though mine was 8 bid non-guaranteed.�

�

May I know when did you place the order for your car?

�

Actually it's true. I told my SE I didn't want any freebies such as in car camera etc but I wanted cash discount. In the end my SE agreed to give cash discount but my COE rebate had to be reduced by a few thousand. But I didn't really care about the COE rebate as I knew it was unlikely for COE to drop significantly at that point of time.

�

the $2K top up doesn't make sense as it reduces your no. of non-guaranteed chances from 9 to 6...� by right, the�$2K will�allow them to bid�higher but�in reality, that may not happen especially if COE continues to drop�

�

I would pay�the top-up only�if it becomes�6 bids guaranteed.�

i bought when coe was coe 42k, i went for the non guaranteed 8 bids as I could wait.

�

on the day of bidding, was offered 500 to upgrade to guaranteed 6 bids.

�

I felt it was only worth it if its change from non-guaranteed to guaranteed.

�

wasn't successful for last 2 bids, fyi.

�

i would estimate 75% highway.. my luck with traffic lights is lousy - always red. so as much as i can, highway. =)

don't bother with the upgrade. i never had this problem. the first thing i told them is i want guaranteed and by a certain deadline. always communicate clearly your needs.

oops i mean if i top up by 2k, they will convert it to 6-bid guaranteed.

�

and the SE said my car is in the warehouse already.

�

I didnt sell my old car to them. Mazda's purchase price is 15k but I sold it for 19.5k.

�

I think i will get my new car, but problem is when. Anyway i got my car when COE was 43k. and they only put in 36k bid! �If the topping up of 2k will ensure I get my car during the next bid, I dont mind. What if i have to wait another one month or more.�

They trying to earn a quick buck.

�

If car is in warehouse already, means there's not enough space so they wanna clear the cars. In order to do that, they ask u to top up cos they foresee COE won't drop that much. When that happens, they get to earn 2k more (or whatever topup amount that is).

I get the sense my SE is just calling me because of instructions from the boss. Because when i sound unconvinced, she said i can maybe wait and see how the next round goes. I take it as a hint wait and see approach is good.�

�

I wonder if these SEs also prefer their buyers to get their COE asap so that they can get their commission too. �

�

In any case, the more i wait, the more i wonder if i should have gone for vezel. Maybe i will share it with her the next time my bid fails.�

Pak Mz3SP0907, you never advice mr ken here?

any bros/sis go for lower springs beside dcb bro

Based on my experience it also means the higher you have to top up later on.

It's almost like budget airline already. Top up for luggage, top up for food, top up for credit card payment etc etc etc.

No need to top up, just get back deposit and use it to buy another car at cheaper Coe.

Actually my SE also asked me to top up $1k to change 7 non gtd coe to 2 gtd coe after the first failed bid attempt. He said he received email from his boss thats why he is asking. Was nearly tempted to do so. But i thought i wasnt in a hurry to get the car thus i told him i'll pass the offer. In the end, i still got the coe on the 2nd bid without top up.

according to my SE, he wont get comm if i dun get the COE

The management team bids, not individual SE.

Hi Brother,
I didn't install anything
Just don't know why suddenly the GPS doesn't work
Really need to feedback to Mazda

Hi all,
I just brought my car to Mazda
Finally, my GPS is working
Asked them what is the issue
They told me they just reset my GPS using their equipment

Saw from hardware zone forum, one bro got rushed by SE to collect his car, cuz car park is running out of space.
Maybe I shall not top up.

i wonder if it is better for ALL OF US not to agree to top up, then everyone stays status quo and make them give up. i guess better than to let them divide and conquer lol. I say we refuse to budge!

�

Taking train to work tmr after selling my car today. looking forward to watching a bit of korean drama on the phone before reaching office. Small comforts.�

If you car is already in the warehouse, don't bother topping up. It's in their best interest for you to get your COE ASAP to clear space at the warehouse.

But if you die die want to top up to guaranteed, try bargaining. Some of the bros here topped up between $500 - $1000 instead of what the SE quoted you.

Exactly 1000oceans, I realise from this time round of car buying experience that dealers are very not transparent when it comes to selling cars. There are also no standard to adhere to, and every SE seems to have a free reign at what they want to do.

�

Yes some bros say we should do our homework and go bargain with the dealers but why is the onus on the consumer to fight so hard to expose their lies and tricks. Knowing what the product offers or bargaining is one thing, but how can consumer be expected to identify misinformation from the SEs? What can one expect the poor sod to do if he is being deliberately lied to? :a-bang: ��

�

No wonder motoring is always one of the industry with highest consumer complains filed and lowest customer satisfaction.

hatuah bro you are right.

�

Sometimes the SE just says the his boss ask him to call de, they probably dont want to make themselves look bad?

�

Think about it, a SE may have 10 customers signed with him. All they need is to call all 10 of them to ask for top up. Says 3 agreed to top up, they earn extra commission liao. It is just statistics to them. Eventually you will get your car, whether are you in a hurry or not.

�

A good SE is one that thinks for his customer's interests.
