A question relating to PI cars. How do you get your car fixed for recalls or ECU flashes announced by Mazda? For 2nd hand car, do you go to the original PI who sold that car?

 

There must be a catch somewhere. The OMV they quote you must be "offhand" quotes. When you sign they will tell you it depends on the day the car is registered and OMV should be between 30k - 36k or some crap.

One thing to worry about PI is that you will be left high and dry when a PI closes down and theres a recall.

Bro. do you think they will sell you a car at such a low price and only earn 1-2k. Do you think can cover the salesperson commission, overheads, etc?

Its great to get a good price but in reality and especially SG, there no free lunch, freebies or PI that are suckers.

There must be a catch. Is it the GST, road tax, etc?

 

Instead of asking about a good price. I think its more important to ask which is a good PI. Price is only part of the consideration in buying a car.

 

HY haven't close down but our guys are already left high and dry! Have to pay out of their own pocket to get the recall and reflash done. Buyer beware!

 

thus... its proven. price is not everything. Give you cheap price but crap after service, you wan?

 

Think not fair to generalize... Some PIs charge you high, high also leave you dry and high :p Not sure if you guys know that GarageR stopped selling RX 8 some time ago. Not sure how their service will be in the future w/o a substantial amount of 8s to support...

Wah... so jialat ah! Who do they go to and how much does it cost approximately?

 

Sorry, I don't have the answer to that one. Gotta wait for them to respond here.

 

Ya... just found out about Garage R not selling anymore. Called them over the weekend and they said "No More!" ;-) and even the consignment ones are with the owners.

Cal, I think you are right. Since they don't sell it anymore so chances are the support will start dwindling over the months/years.

Hey, it is safe to say the since MM has been selling RX7 for so many years, their mechnics are better versed at servicing rotary engines? What's more can get access to knowledge base of Mazda engineers in Japan office.

 

ya. pros and cons of PI versus MM. Its up to personal preferance.
