But in TnT I can't remember the last time I got great service for anything.  |
I would have agreed with you a year ago, but since we bought the SGVs, we are extremely satisfied with the quality of sales, service and support. You get to speak with all levels of management (MD included) if you need to. Try that at N&M. The techs walk you through a service, etc. |

And I asked abt price increase. The $182K model is now $199.5K

I was really looking at a 4WD model today, the 4WD badge is in the back instead of on the side, I have to see what these new rims look like  |

There was a poster on the window and I was trying to take a pic of the new rims when I was leaving but I was to far.
The vehicle I saw the new rims on was going out of the compound so I didn't get to take a pic of tht either.
The new rims a lil fancy instead of just plain like ours.
So only thing new is the black cloth inside, rims and amber front light instead of the white. |

Ok, yeah..there are two lights in front on the bumber, I guess that is what they meant. Amber lights there...interesting
I always thought those lights were too dim for practical use, hopefully they changed the housing and put in a brighter bulb. |

Those lights only come on when you have headlights on in 2nd power? I think so.
I tried it once. I don't use it. |

Ok, I think we are speaking of two different things. The ones I have, have a manual switch and only are lit when the car is on, no matter if its high or low beam I have on.
Are you sure yours only come on with high beam(2nd power) ?
You dont have a manual switch to turn them on / off ? |

Ok I finally got a chance to post since morning.
My bro read in manual tht it would only come on if you on 2nd power beam. So I took it at face value to wht he said.
But today I also checked it out myself. When I had car on I pressed button and it didn't come on. I turned it on 2nd power and it came on.
I didn't try it on the 1st power beam though.
There is a button to press on left side above radio. |

Ok, just checked this on mine:
Key not in ignition:
Only park lights and fog lights come on(if the button is pressed). Headlights will not come on. Fog lights stay on no matter if its low / high beam selected.
Key in ignition
Fog lights on all the time(once the switch is pressed),park,low / high beam work as expected.
It sounds like the setting in yours is different...hmm..either way..when driving at night, do you think you see far enough ahead with your current headlights / foglights ? |

I don't have to much experience driving at nights. It would be mostly on the highway.
I think I see good enough.
Since I never really used the fog light I only observed that it lights up the road just in front the vehicle and it doesn't serve much purpose unless you want to see just infront vehicle.
Is tht it's main purpose?  |

Thts the price he told me.
I am guessing because MVT price went up and they calculate VAT after they add MVT to vehicle cost so its all adding up to tht?  |

I guess they expect the current stock to be exhausted by then.  |
