My Buying Car Tips

"Tuan….. I've my breakfast yesterday with En. Jas, at Kg. Melayu Sg. Buloh.  I saw Isuzu D-MAX, everywhere.  My question is … why? What's so good about this car….. sampai you beli." My bold engineer asked me.

Personally, I can answer that question on behalf of other.  But, frankly speaking on buying a car I will do as follow (I considered it as my personal tips, before buying a car) :- 

• Do Some Research

 - On Brand (Comparing all the brand on the same class.)

 - Comparing Price Among The Brand

 - Drop by on some forum discussion, related to the car brand.

 - Check up the financial interest on financing the car, before buying.

 - Check up on internet/magazine the car that we plan to buy.

• Take A Test Drive

 - Drop by to the nearest outlet/auto-mobile shop.

 - I prefer to drive my future car from a cold-start engine. (even the car is a brand new car.)

 - Smoke it.

 - If you prefer to have a manual/auto transmission play with the gear before you "broommmm" it.

 - Along the drive, play the gear from low to high gear.

• After a test, drive that compare the advantages and the weakness of the test drive cars.  Take your time to thing what to buy.  (Your money, so your car.)

• Get (Buy) it from the person that you know.  They will explain you from "A" to "Z" about the future car  that you plan to buy. (A good friend never lie.)

Why should I buy Isuzu D-MAX ?

• I love a 4 wheel drive car (I've dreamed of it, for so damn long).
• I have drop by to some outlet, but the way of the salesman entertainment me…. ????? (I am also an ex-saleman too, the explanation are important, I don't like people just bluffing me about their car.)
• The performance was "Wow!!!!!" compare to their competitors. (I have drove at least 3 numbers of 4 wheels drive car, before I brought these car.)
• The salesman explanation was influenced me to buy.
• The 4 wheel function button, really influencing me to have it, compare to the other  4 by 4 truck.
• The fuel consumption explanation made me say "Yes…. this is the car, that I needed."
• Personally, the promotion factors/keywords by the salesman-irresistable to buy.

Isuzu D-Max Super Commonrail

To buy…. or not to buy is your…. plan before you buy your future car.  

Anyway, thank to En. Herman @ Pananrang Lacho from Pantai Bharu Holding Sdn Bhd. (Kelang) for the ride.  Elly love it, and I have bought it for our family.

Bila Sahabat Bercerita Tentang Hal Gembira…. Siap Kita Tanya Bebanyak Kali.

Hari ini kerja agak sungguh sibok juga.

"Meeting - Discussion - Travel" (Dari Sg Buloh Ke Putrajaya), "check" kerja staf (bayaran & penerimaan), layan panggilan pelanggan (bakal pelanggan, pelanggan semasa, pelanggan lama).

Dalam "meeting" kita kena bersuara untuk memastikan kita tidak dijadikan batu loncatan, dan diomong-omongkan.

"Check" Kerja Staf-takut lak ada kesilapan sebelum diluluskan, kesannya 10 tahun lesen Akauntan Bertauliahku sia-sia belaka.

Layan Panggilan Telefon - dari semua pelanggan berkaitan dengan kerja-kerja yang bakal dilakukan dalam masa terdekat. Kalau tak dilayan… kurang la masyukkkkkkkk.

-----o0o-----

Namun dalam kesibukan, "Bila Sahabat Bercerita Tentang Hal Gembira", pasti kita akan bertanya banyak kali.

Telefon bimbitku berdering masa nak masuk bilik mesyuarat hari ini.  Aku pula dok kata yer, yer, yer, yer, yer, yer, yer jerk.  Mak oiiiiii semua "Yer" jerk, bakal masalah juga tu nanti.  "PoP" Aku tersentak dari lamunan melayan Dato' Pengerusi Mesyuarat.  Aku terfikir apa yang sahabatku katakan, Betul Ke?, Yer Ke?   Kena 'call" semula ni.

Sememang, berita gembira.  Kelulusan Pinjaman WVF 3539 telah di"confirm"kan. "Interest Rate" - 2.6%. Nombor Pendaftaran dah siap.  "Invoice" dah siap. "Carrier" dah "ready". Kereta "on the way" dari Pahang ke Kelang (almaklumlah Warna Putih adalah "special order", kata sahabat ku).  "Tinted" dah diaturkan, "Rolled Bar (sport bar)" akan siap dipasang.  Wah semuanya dah…..

Cuma pesan sahabatku….

1. Ahad ni kena datang sebelum jam 11.00 pagi.
2. Bawa, "Cover Note" Insuran kereta lama & polisinya sekali.
3. Bawa juga Resit Nombor Pendaftaran.
4. "Drop by" ke Jalan Kapar.
5. Bayaran Pendahuluan menggunakan cek. Cek????????? (ahhhhhh dah lama aku tak guna.)

Aku hantar pesanan SMS gembira ini buat "my beloved Elly".

Tak puas hati lagi, aku "call" semula, betul ke cerita ni…. (pasal hari tu kata "deliver" agak lambat).

Sahabatku kata, Yer!!!!!! dan jangan lupa bawa Kad Pengenalan dan Lesen.

Aku letak telefon bimbitku sambil senyum.

Aku telefon lagi…. nak tanya salinan ke asal yang perlu dibawa.

Sahabatku menjawab asal sudah tentu wajib…. (Kalau tak macam mana nak bawa kereta kalau lesen tak bawa, Kad Pengenalan kena bawa asal sebab itu bukti kerakyatan, tertangkap kes malang masuk balai la karang).

Aku tergelak… dan masuk ke dalam bilik mesyuarat semula, nasib baik belum bermula. (kerana masih menunggu ahli-ahli mesyuarat lain).

Begitulah "Feel of Moment" hari ini.  Ianya tidak dapat digambarkan, cuma dalam "retina" hati kita sendiri.

Akan tiba masanya gambar ini jadi sebenarnya nanti.

Next Step… Will be checkmate!!!!!!!!!!

p/s : Angan kalau diusahakan pasti akan jadi kenyataan, cuma ia perlukan keyakinan, strategi dan keberanian.  TQ… Sahabatku Herman……  Pantai Bharu Holding Sdn Bhd (Kelang).

A Step To Catch "The Dream….. Our Dream"

The Dream a photo by 'theFLAMEs' SNAP Galleries on Flickr.

2010 was something that's start for something. A dream that forced me to catch a bigger dream.

It has begun with Snap, Touch and Feel…. and now….. it will become (sooner) as a reality.

The Dream….. Our Dream a photo by 'theFLAMEs' SNAP Galleries on Flickr.

Today, test drive was so excellent and I was accompanied by Elly Salleh and my little E'ZiQ. Some moment have to be taken for the family.  The ride to "the dream that, "Insyallah' to become true.  Enjoy the ride with us…….
