I went Laughlin. The place kinda small huh. I was looking at the small step ladders.
I saw the cargo mat but it didn't have price and I didn't ask.

Was also looking at the mats. All have two big ones and 2 small rectangular ones. Since I wanted two big ones for the back wud the big ones also work for the back?
Didn't realise mats so expensive to. Confused

I wonder wht the new model has different Confused

maybe the 2009 model.

I was parked by the service centre early and was out of there by 10am. So if you were there after it wasn't me Very Happy

Yes the salesman is quite a talker.

Thts great you should have your vehicle soon Smile

I saw 4300+ in series already.

Series changed so fast after I got my vehicle. Ytday made it 2mths since I have it and already new series is almost midway in #. Surprised

he said that only three things are different in the new models and you must have the 'eye' to notice the differences...

1. the inside cover of the door is no longer black w/ red..its now just black
2. the indicator light is now amber
3. the little 'tuscon' sign to the front is now shaped a little different

nothing much to bother with if you ask me and there is no difference in the price from the old model... Laughing

Wow such a difference !!! Laughing

I wud have never noticed tht.

But its good tht no price increase for 2009 model yet.

I haven't regretted spending the extra $$$ to buy new and making my purchase Very Happy

That's all, I thought the new model was supposed to have ESP on it, oh well.

Mats have gotten really expensive..and they still dont fit right Confused

hottgirl, do you know where the firm is getting the reverse sensors put in from ?

i saw the car park at mid centre is filled with new vehicles from N&M...that must've been a really big shipment.. Shocked

All those vehicles parked by Mid Center Mall is NnM ones?

I thought when the shipment came in it was bonded some place near MovieTowne Confused

well SS said that all the vehicles belong to N&M..those vehicles were the ones that they recently got.....they are renting space from Mid centre.

Hi my Tucson people Smile

So with all this talk on the increase in Premium gas price I have a question.

Can super be used in the Tucson? I know most of you probably have diesel but you might still know.

DW · Posted: Mon Sep 22, 2008 8:18 pm Post subject:

Yay ..I heard they might have increased the price of diesel as well, glad they did not...well at least for now Razz

I can only imagine the fuel bill now for the gas based Tucs for someone who does highway runs regularly.

Gem_in_i · Posted: Mon Sep 22, 2008 8:48 pm Post subject:

I do highway runs at least 3 times a week and I work deep South Surprised

But on average am seeing tht I may be spending an extra $300 a month.

Am not fussing though. Smile

So here's another question.

This morning on 95.5fm I hear Inshan Ishmael say tht RORO dealer have a quota of vehicles they can bring in for the year.
He also said they only allowed to bring in gas vehicles and all the vehicles use premium.

So I was wondering, all the RORO Tucsons tht come in are gas?

DW · Posted: Tue Sep 23, 2008 6:19 pm Post subject:

I believe so, unless the RORO ones that are diesel dont have the "CRDi" badge on the back.

Gem_in_i · Posted: Tue Sep 23, 2008 6:29 pm Post subject:

This morning I had less than quarter tank gas and I filled up and tht cost me $167.

Wht does the CRDi stand for?

DW · Posted: Tue Sep 23, 2008 6:34 pm Post subject:

CRDi - Common Rail Direct Injection

The gas is another story in itself since we move from south to pos everyday Neutral

well spoke to the sales rep and he said that once we are buying one of the vehicles parked at Mid centre mall, we won't have to pay the MVT...that means we may have to take any colour we get, which is fine cause the MVT may work up to an extra $8K-$10K... Confused

DW at least you have diesel...gemini and i wld have to deal with premium price... Neutral

Hottgirl you have to take gas or you could take diesel?
In my case I had to take gas.

Its averaging to be an extra $40-$50 for each full up.
I just think twice abt driving around to much when not at work or school which are a must.

hottgirl · Street 2NR Joined: 28 Jan 2008 Tech posts: 81 My 2NRide:

well diesel is over the budgeted amount, so we have to take gas....

normally with our B14 we have to fill up every other day, i wonder how often we'd have to fill up with the Tuscon? and i am sure that we'll be driving the B14 when we are not going to work!

Gem_in_i · Posted: Thu Sep 25, 2008 2:39 pm Post subject:

Actually, I had a B14 and when compared to using the Tucson its not much more gas being used. It just cost more to fill up as I guess its a bigger tank.

Not sure if I observed wrong. Laughing
