Kia SPORTAGE "QL" ; Dedicated Discussion, Owner/ Fan Club Thread

[marsalanfarooq]

If I were you I would be looking at Fortuner G option if I could stretch budget a little or a used Tuscon. Tuscon awd and sportage awd costs the same now so if I could get a 5-10k driven 1st owner tuscon I would jump at it.

[muhammad.taqi.87]

Fortuner is way out of budget bro.

For used Tucson and even Sportage, what i have searched, ppl are asking way more than showroom price for 15-20K driven car.

[marsalanfarooq]

Bro Fortuner G in used main keh raha tha. But i know 20 lacs more than your budget.

Sportage used main dekh lain fwd 25-30 tak chali hoi I think 2019-2020 mil jana chahiye 48 tak ja. Honda built quality is going down the drain so not too excited about new civic even.

[marsalanfarooq]

Sunnay main araha hai tuscon 1st dec se booking open ho rahi hai.New shayad aapko mil bhi jaye 4-5 mahine wait pr.

Check on 1st Dec

Trying to follow up on my delivery (October tentative) and it's frustrating chasing up these people. No one at dealership picking their phones so I messaged KIA official page. Again no clarity at all when people of both October and November months have received cars. Never order a colour other than Black or white in Pakistan, either they don't produce them or they get sold for On because there aren't enough of them.

Bro I'm still waiting for my black alpha. Was supposed to be delivered in october...

[rizla]

Time to visit the dealership and make a scene I guess.

I had my delivery month of September for Kia Alpha booked in white.... & still waiting for it.

i read on this thread that a respected member ( marsalanfarooq) who booked on 29 July & got it some 10 days back. I am Happy for him. I had booked it myself on 17 July - 12 days before Arsalan sahib and i am still waiting.

2- Color is also white - if that makes any difference .

3- I paid balance payment on 11 october the same day Lucky motors asked for it...

Honoring the word is a non existent thing in Pakistan. If you find it anywhere please let me know as well... i will become a loyal customer of that business for life

[rizla]

Alpha production is very limited I think, yeh log wait kar rahay hain do teen mahinon ke order jurr jayen.

[mifazal]

I doubt it... as mentioned a member got it in November.... so if they produced , and want to give together than we would have got it as well as our cars are overdue also. Which dealership did you book it from ?

As i mentioned pakistan main kisi business kee koi commitment ya word nahi.

[marsalanfarooq]

Yar there are several things I did.

1.) I paid the money well in advance. This was in September. This was because I was going abroad so i told them there will be no one to give money. They saw my ticket and took the money with a heavy heart

2.) I put in regular pressure for my car in october from 1st week (even when I was abroad) . I am in export business so I was seeing whats happening with dollar everyday and price hike was about to come. I Even advised rizla to pay the amount.

3.) The pressure worked and they agreed to give car in oct end. On first nov they told me expect car on 3rd Nov. 3rd pr they bailed out. 4th par maine bande ko tight zaleel kia and he agreed on Saturday (6th). He was forced to share invoice to me by whatsapp which I told him was my right. I saw the invoice which was billed at old price.This was a pc of evidence jiski waja se there was could be no hanky panky anymlre

4.) Sat on showroom since 10 in the morning and got the car at 4.30.Keh dia tha gari ke bagair I wont leave the showroom.

I fought and pressurized may be thats why they had nowhere to go

[rizla]

No point in being a customer if that's how you have to deal with them, but I'm going there tomorrow. Spoke on phone today as usual they promised to call me back and that's it.

Which dealership did you book it from ?

KIA metropolis

So went to the dealership again, iss baar thora zyada rolla daala. The manager guy was being apologetic and saying useless stuff like hum customer ke saath hain, not with the manufacturer etc etc. But they still don't have a concrete date on delivery, just said we will follow the case up with the company on priority. Again that means jackshit. I have figured out how the whole thing works though. @marsalanfarooq made them accept his full payment in September, hence he was delivered by November to avoid KIBOR+2% charges. I made it on 27 October, so realistically speaking I will get the car second or third week of December before my 60 day timer runs out. Until then there is no priority for you. So they key is full payment as early as possible and I shouldn't have waited around for their call.

[ozair.abbas]

made full payment on 1st October, expecting delivery in November. I have visited the dealership twice in November and called them 3 times. Today, i was told that i will have to make the balance payment (increased amount) for my car to go into production. I hope my 60 day timer will not start from the day i pay the new increased amount.

[marsalanfarooq]

Request for a 2022 invoice then

[gryphus113]

Bro I made full payment on September 10. Does that mean they're liable to pay KIBOR?

[usman.kamal]

Yes they are.

[ozair.abbas]

is there a formal way to ask company for the kibor? I was thinking of giving them a letter as soon as the 2 months are up from full payment
