mycarforum: KIA K3 Owners check-in! part 23

Hi bros n sis

Loves the looks with bodykit.
May I know how much C&c is charging for the bodykit?
How about outside selling price for bodykit?

Thanks

BTW, for those Bro who has got the SX with sun roof, will it be very noisy on heavy downpours ?

Also, any issue so far with water slippage ?

�

TIA...

�

My ride has a sunroof like K3 SX, but it's not a K3. Frankly in rain it doesn't sound any noisier than a normal roof, sometimes it even sounds quieter, but that's probably the insulation more than the glass. It sounds less like the usual metallic thunkthunkthunk.

�

I hate the shape of the doors when opened - front as well as back.

�

That's a novel complaint, I'll give you that! [laugh] Can elaborate? [grin] No leh, really, I'm interested to know!

The bodykit normally they say they cut off $2,000 if you decline to have it installed on your SX Sport. I think outside will be different price as different kit.

Sounds bad if they are going to start scrimping on equipment as this was their key differentiator to hyundai.

�

Sounds like a cycle of some sort... first batch was better equipped with xenon headlamps... then next batches were reduced... then come up with SX Sport batch with the full works... now another batch with reduced equipment?

Any recommendation on where to buy bodykit?

Or any bro have bought it outside? Reviews?

Anyone gonna change third 17" away and wanna sell do PM me.... Just scratched my rims

get it refurbished at any of the tyre shops... $30 bucks per rim only

�

Buy from original lo.. outside ones looks different and dimensions different.. unless you want non- K3 bodykit look...

Just went to Kia showroom today.

They have increase the price back to 94999 and 104999 (non-guarantee)...and�98999 and 108999 (guarantee)

The increase is because they expect COE to remain strong this Wednesday due to the mass order from BM Toyota Altis stock clearance...

�

Also heard that from next batch onwards, they are bringing in SX model with less equipment to reduce the high car cost...

Things that will be gone are sun-roof, 6 air-bags and some others...

�

TIA...

�

Heard abt the downgrade in specs too.. heng to those who buy recently to get the full works at the current price.. see no point in short changing buyers just bec of currency exchange rate differences..

�

price got drop from 104999 meh?

Whatever specs are written when you bought will be delivered. Probably for future new orders

Yup. you're right.. those down spec-ed cars will be made known when the new buyers buy... so for now, if wanna buy kin kin liao.. mai tu liao... or else you'll pay same price for lower spec car.

�

Eh, bro, I did the LED light liao.. went to a car acc shop n got them done up along the way..� [:p]

Edited by Blublak, 04 October 2015 - 09:24 PM.

I heard down-spec will be for future batches...now they are still selling September batch...likely October batch still same spec...

I asked the SE about the new price but he say don't know yet but likely slightly cheaper..

Maybe in future no more 10K difference between EX and SX...maybe 6-7K difference...just guessing.. -_- ��

It's not noisy on heavy downpours. As 7hm mentioned, in fact with sunroof the noise is even softer without the usual rain hitting metal "thunk thunk" sound. As for the slippage, no issue so far. It comes factory kitted from Korea if u order the SX, so probably quite safe.

Hi bros n sis

May I know how much C&c is charging for the bodykit?
How about outside selling price for bodykit?

Thanks

�

C&C is charging $1k for the bodykit, if SX request to de-kit bodykit, u get $500 in return. Seriously, u can nego the price when u confirm on buying.

�

Outside is selling $1k++ (see pic below) �. Personally, I prefer the Original C&C one.. more subtle, and if u carbonise it looks chio =)

Yesterday, I accompanied a friend to go see the K3 after I have one myself weeks back.

�

Price went up $1k as expected.

�

Naturally he go for EX as he still find $10k difference is too much but his car left less than 3 wks more so if he wanted quick delivery, he would have to go for SX though color is an issue too.

�

As he intend to take up very low loan as such he is not eligible for $3k discount. Even if he is taking loan, doubt any banks want to loan him as he is a retiree with $0 income. Based on this he is trading in his solar flim, Eurostyle infotainment and 3 yrs servicing with guaranteed COE to offset the $3k discount not given. Even should he take up insurance, cannot get at least $1.5k.�

�

Is it worthwhile? I think is not really. He can pay cash money no prob.�

�

Now Eurostyle infotainment not a granted free gift already. Thought is free.

�

�

Yup, no paint protection can protect against physical damage... maybe mild chemical can, but this will also wear off..

�

Best is to just accept the dinks and dents , then after 3 yrs go do a 1 time "facial" to respray or patch the dents...

�

Those having white color will also see a discoloration after some years , when the white will become light beige... can't be helped la...chemical property... �

�

I find that despite this, it still can resist the rock to touch the paint, I see that there is some damages but held up well and cannot see any damages unless purposely find it which is hard too. Unless the rock is big and fast.

Did your friend chose the 107.9k package with guaranteed COE?

The free 2 items are Solar Film and Dashcam instead of Eurostyle I think.

Same sentiments as my OC. she asked how come the edge looks kinda weird.

�

1) Frankly, for the retiree, I'd advise him to get another 3-4 yrs left small car.. since he no income and retired and probably has some cash in hand to live off.. no point splurge on a new car and a down spec one at that. and still have to scrimp and save every cent to get this new car... one of my bosses bought a 8 yr old Lexus GS300.. only $54K, OMV 50K+ take back 25K+, so net depn per yr is abt 14K.. damn wu hua and the condition is superb.. drive liao song song like tao kay and can renew 5 yr COE if is still good condition.. 2 yrs left Lexus at 54K (+60K 5 yr COE renewal) vs new K3 at 94K, you say leh? Esp for a older retiree.....

�

2) Yup, the paint protection shld be able to resist small rock dings.. but best practice is to drive far behind dump trucks and on roads with loose stones...

Think the Eurostyle can korek from the SE if you ask really nicely, bec will come from their commission. But dun go all out to dig dig dig la... let him/her have some money left ma.. haha...� [laugh]

Yah lor, my wife's colleague who just signed got it free from his SE. But not me, guess I didn't know how to korek..� [laugh]

End of the day, it's a lose-lose situation for me and my SE.. coz' another friend who's tempted to book one SX ask recommendation for the SE who throw in more freebies instead of mine.� [:/]

�

Haha.. its ok bro.. diff SE give diff "free gifts" and even same SE will give diff "gifts" at diff times...

�

Depends how much comm the SE is earning from the "side orders" too, like if u take up their car loans, take the guaranteed COE, take their insurance, do a trade in etc.. they also earn a bit from all these, and can give u a bit more "freebies" if their comm is higher.. so no point compare what one buyer got as free gift to another buyer, bec diff people buy diff things and diff SE too...

�

Just be happy with what you got, and if not, then go change it ! Not a lot of $$ anyway...

�

I don't think your friend can afford it. Giving up a bunch of freebies just to get a 3k discount off a car that costs 100k.

�

Also not sure what you are trying to say. First you say he is taking up a low loan, hence not eligible for 3k loan discount. Then you say you doubt banks will offer him a loan as he has $0 income. Lastly you say he can pay in cash, no problem.

Not choose yet. Confirming this Tuesday. Most likely, �the EX. No car for 1 mth at most.

�

Solar flim and dashcam has to trade in too.

�

$10k to him also money.

�

How old is he as a retiree? If 6x, would advice him get a good condition 4/5years 2nd hand drive until scrap. Honestly speaking if he has lots of retirement fund, and able to part that 100k full cash, I dont think need to bother the $3k freebies, coz he easily save > $5k on interest alone.. �

Save >$5K on interest?? ��

�

You forget that the $100K in fixed deposit alone in 5 years can yield over $9,500 not yet compounded, (e.g. CIMBank FD at 1.9%). �Not forgetting gov savings bonds can give you even more. �And as US interest set to goes up, the SG deposit and interest rate will also go up over the next 5 years...

�

In the end, you don't save much by not taking loan interest that is flat and fixed now at lower rates...

�

Precisely. assuming there's possibility of taking 100% loan, Interest incurred over 5years = $11.4k�
Which if u take loan, and use the $$ to do invest have better returns.�

What I meant was the $3k freebie "losses" shouldnt take that seriously =D

wa.. buy car also have to be financial investment expert ah? �hahhaa...Kidding...� [:p]

but most car buyers heart is into the swee swee car and not so much into the financing etc.. or else who would wan to pay $60 grand for a piece of paper to have the car? might as well invest all the $$ to have best returns ?

I didn't bother to check. The last 4x, I just start the engine and off I go. Worst was the last one. Forget to release the foot brake for some distance!!!!!�Thereafter, I never use the foot brake except when parking on a visible slope.

Hi,

got Coe yesterday (1st bid). SE called and asked me to pay balance payment and prepare delivery in 2 weeks.

But my current ride only end beginning of Dec and, in addition, I will be away for 3 weeks in Nov, so thinking to get new car only when I am back in Dec.

�

SE told me likely�not possible as his Mgr needs the car to be�registered/delivered latest end Oct.

�

Can I insist and do not pay balance payment ?

Any advice how I should go about delaying�registration/delivery ?

�

Thanks in advance !

Talk to manager directly

Usually once you get you coe, agent would not allow you to delay collection of car more than 1 month lo. Esp you want to delay for 2 months.

The SE will be Or-Gong due to car not delivered.

�

Dunno abt you insisting not paying the balance payment to delay taking the car, but your SE will kena...�

�

Also during the balance payment, you will be signing all the forms for the insurance, new car registration, transfer of the old car (if any), etc paperwork, then the SE will proceed to to prep the car for delivery in 2 weeks.. so still got some time between signing all the form and making balance payment, to actual take over of the car... by then shld be end of Oct liao...

�

Talk to the SE n Mgr and see if can do a amicable solution, instead of ngeh ngeh dun pay and make the SE life difficult.. won't end up good for all, esp if you need the SE help later if someting goes wrong with your new car....�

Hi everyone. Been reading the k3 posts for sometime. Really very informative. Finally decide to get it on Sunday and yesterday got the coe bidding. [:p]

Next thing will like to get advice for you all. When you just get your car, did you guys get glass coating? Where did you all get, mind sharing?

Also any place to recommend for trading in the stock tyre for other? [laugh]

Since the car is as good as yours, you need to pay for it. But you can collect it anytime by informing the�seller not to register the car till you are ready to collect it.��10 years start running from the day the car is registered and ARF etc paid. Your COE is valid for�3 months.

Once the car is registered and ready, they will want you to collect the car as soon as possible. Cause they don't want the car to park at their�showroom for too long, and needs to be responsible if anything happen.

Sorry for the sibei kiasu disclaimer, but because some you here are using the HU for the reverse camera purpose and i saw from 1 of the Malaysia user that 1 of the theme doesn't work well with the reverse camera, so i thought it's better to include the disclaimer just in case something happens.�

Take a HU, you can enjoy it for 10 years. Coating will wear off in a few years max, better you have regular washes and waxes to keep it looking good.

Alvin, u're using the stock HU , rather den the Eurostyle I presume..

�

If you have $1k to spare, can get a aftermarket HU + Coating for $8xx.. espeiclally wif a �few groomers on 3 for price of 2 promo, or introductory offer.

�

With PPS, easily u can save yr $$ on car washes ($8 x 2) & waxes ($50)every month.. Already �$8xx a year liao.. multiply �2 ?

�

HU warranty only 1 year.. nobody can gurantee wun �uplorry after the warranty period.. �how?

which brand of coating is popular and gd value for $$ currently ar?

Hi,

�

Wonder anyone interested in buying the original bodykit for K3 ?

Just got COE for SX and thinking of not installing the bodykit for my SX.

Please PM me if interested. (Color is metal stream)

Thx.

Today encountered a new looking pearl white SKW1xxx in carpark. Member here?

which brand of coating is popular and gd value for $$ currently ar?

�

Permanon is one of the cheaper ones and they will come to you for the job, but they require some reapplication on your own.

�

GroomersLab price is a bit higher but they advertise pretty high resistance, relatively speaking. Come in group of two (new cars only) though and Rendall will give second car 50% off I think.

which brand of coating is popular and gd value for $$ currently ar?

�

My one is on Ceramic Pro. But is one of the most expensive available.

�

So far so good. Helped to deter one b**tard who tried to scratch my new car but fail but only damage the paint protection layer without touching the paint. There is always a jealous sicko who scratch every new cars one can find.

�

Rock chips well nothing can prevent but this coating does its job well to resist.

Sian.. why always got people want to scratch car one... :yuush:

Sian.. why always got people want to scratch car one...

Maybe they curse themselves why they cannot afford one? Maybe.

Anyone doing car coating? Do pm me, let's go together and ask for better price� [laugh]

For dents, still able to engage those experts to "push" out the dents flawlessly. Hard for those double layer areas no doubt.

Can try them, If dont want to be slave to the car, enjoy the �convenience at a small norminal fee.Not to forget the free swirl marks that comes along with such public services =D

Paint protection system.

�

Refer to additional layer of protection above original paint. Keeping the car newer longer with less hassle of maintenance. Some improve scratch resistance + rock chip resistance. All should be able to avoid water spots, poos from birds without damaging the surface.

I've just rubbed off the yellow stain using the turtlewax swirl cream.. works la.. but i won't go ape over the coating, as it is not permanent.. I cover my car daily as I work in Tuas and lots of dust n smog ard.. thats the best protection for me...�

Haha i haven'waxed my car in 6 months since my 1k servicing. For those without PPS how often do you wax the car?

For those with PPS would you still wax or top up some PPS product periodically?

Hi, I just collected my car and I asked my SE regarding this... He replied none...

Dear bro and sis,

�

Need the pro advice by you all.

�

I paid for a K3 (basic) almost 4 COE bids ago. COE then was roughly 57k.

I thought I got a decent deal but the COE bid keep failing.

Worse so now, since Cat A is only roughly 55k.

�

Why did the agent bid so low?

The agent told me that they were bidding at about 50-52k.

Didn't I buy the car with COE at around 57k? Are they screwing me over?

Or am I too noob to this car buying thing?

Hi, when you bought the car, shd have indicated COE rebate amount (maybe 49k). That's the bottom line they have to secure your COE. Not based on the current COE.

According to my SE, he ask his clients non-guaranteed EX to top up 3k to get the car.

You kidding me? I paid 93999 for the car expecting coe to be about 57k. End up my rebate level is 50k only?

Can any other Bro or Sis share their rebate level? And their final COE amount?

You should look at the terms and conditions first on the rebate level between guranteed and non guaranteed bid before committing to buy bro.

Well known that the rebate for non guaranteed is much lower.

You kidding me? I paid 93999 for the car expecting coe to be about 57k. End up my rebate level is 50k only?

Can any other Bro or Sis share their rebate level? And their final COE amount?

some question you have to ask yourself.

�

1. What's the rebate level specify for the price of 93999?

2. Did you just take the freebies given by the SE or you squeeze the SE for more freebies?

�

Normally the standard freebies comes out from the company and the maximum amount COE for non-gurarantee COE also determine by the company. The extra freebies comes out from the pocket of the SE (from their commission) and if you don't squeeze for additional freebies, sometime they'll get the office to bid slightly higher than the amount decide by the company and the difference comes out from the SE pocket.

�

I'm not an SE but from my visit to the ADs 2 months ago and talk to them, that's what I find out from the old bird SE when you go to the showroom on weekdays with not much crowd and chit chat abit with them while looking at the car.

Looks like I have not done my homework.

I only got 1k discount and rebate level set at 50k. No freebies le.

Just sent my car to 1st servicing and do up the bodykit since my adhesive is wearing out some areas and replaced front grille as well. But quite furious when checking my car after I park my car at my carpark.�

�

No prob with the servicing and grille but very upset of my bodykit.�

�

1 - Use of sealant which would change colour and breakdown after few years the road.

2 - Because the sealant is very strong as such put a lot of pressure on the bodykit result in cracking at 2 corners edges.

Does any bro face this issue? Some said the local bodykit is cheapo so quality nothing great.�

wonder how would a strong sealant cause pressure though, or is it the removal of the body kit to apply sealant causing the cracks?

U got the $55399 coe? . If you compare the current k3 selling price, i am quite certain that it is higher than your purchase price. Will u want to pay the current price? Coe is like stock market, no point chasing that 1 to 2 k different....

I'm not too sure about the sealant issue, but if they caused your bodykit to crack then that's something to point out to them. Did you do it on the spot? Else now they can say you knocked it yourself and caused the crack...

Hi there,

�

Should�be collecting my SX next weekend.

�

Would like to check with K3 owners.....for those who have got their Thinkware H50 front cam from C&C, how was the installation ?

Did the installer hide the cables and connect direct to the battery ? Heard there are some installers who did not connect direct to the battery but just connect to the car socket...

�

Also, for the body kit, saw from the showroom car that the installation quality seems quite bad....there is quite�big gap (for side skirt) with the car body (centre portion)...shouldn't;t they have some tape/sealant that seal up those gaps ?

�

Understand that C&C actually does all installation in-house in their Pandan warehouse before delivery (including Rikecool 28 and Eurostyle), so don't know how is the installation quality like...anything particular to pay attention to during delivery ?

�

Thanks in advance !

C&C will wire direct to the fuse box.

�

for the body kit, apart from gaps, check for paint color matching. some bros here the white body kit did not match the snow pearl white.

�

eurostyle shouldnt have problems, test to make sure rear camera engages in reverse gear.

�

solar film, check for bubbles.

Those who bought Elantra in July at 59k coe rebate got more than 3k (coe rebate) less for the car.

U got the $55399 coe? . If you compare the current k3 selling price, i am quite certain that it is higher than your purchase price. Will u want to pay the current price? Coe is like stock market, no point chasing that 1 to 2 k different....

When I bought it, it was:

�

$94,999 advertised price
COE was at ~$57000
Signed at $93,999
COE rebate was $50,000
So definitely not the $55,399 COE
Feel like I got the short end of the stick.

Once again, can anyway who have secured their K3 EX share their COE Rebate level and purchase price?

actually you can check the price list on SG car mart from C&C. The rebate level is usually standard based on the advertised prices.

�

differences from deal to deal are the freebies and discounts.

�

The dealers will always try fulfill their guaranteed COE bids before putting in more effort on the non guaranteed deals.... With COE going down, the non-guaranteed deals make sense, but just means you have to wait longer.

Just to check with you guys does the K3 come in manual gear? I don't recall seeing it at their showroom. But its was advertise under the KIA website.�

I don't think you were getting the bad deal. Of course, it can be better with few freebies thrown in.

I myself secured guaranteed package with $2.5k discount, but I do feel my package was only comparable with yours. Surely my COE rebate was $53k, but if COE bid turns out to be more than $53k, the guarantee or non-guarantee will not make a difference. And I foresee that COE will be higher on next bidding. You will know if you viist Toyota showroom and saw how they close the deals on Elegance Altis.

Btw, now that I didn't negotiate the Solar Film, I wonder if there is recommendation on good and affordable third party solar film for K3? It will cost me another $800-$900 should I add this in.

it seems like there is some standard rebate level.

and my rebate level was set way too low for some reason.

content deleted, as requested the poster

EX better go for guarantee.�

They will definitely give priority to SX non-guarantee customer.�
