Somehow I doubt the yummy part with the CT200H...... even though its a lexus which in a reality a glorified Prius... Never tested one but the review has been poor on this thing although the interior looks nice to be in...


BTW, is CT200H ... 5 yrs too?

All hybrid vehicles are made with improved FC, reduce carbon footprint in mind, to achieve this, a big short cut is taken in the noise damping department to lighten the vehicle to gain fuel economy, and a lot of cheapo plastic is used in the cabin..

If u r not an eco warrior and fuel economy is not your priority, look elsewhere..

Anyone know ar if my warranty habis by a few months already would the Authorised dealers be kind enough to 'close one eye' for a part failure/replacement?

There's such thing called Goodwill Warranty and its case to case basis.

Now i m driving a 2.5L car. Next upgrade should be a higher cc car or eco car. The earlier will be impossible cos price will be very high (car price , road tax, etc). Everyone going green...ehhehehe

Bro, I guarantee that when you're presented with a 5-figure repair estimate for your current ride (like I was for my E36) you'll swear, say "never again", and look at the other side which offers 5-year warranties. :4:

For big ticket items, it'll more likely be a big discount, but you'll still have to stump 60-80% of it.

depends on how my current ride behaves. Already paid for it might as well enjoy it while it lasts. The question is, would i buy ANOTHER bmw?

well, SA suspects my water pump has a small leak. Is it repairable or has to be replaced?

 

[racheltoh]

bimmerdude, of course replaced since u got warranty left..

 

[Schwepps]

A water pump is a cheap component and these things will fail after a few years. Ask what's the replacement cost and try for a goodwill claim. Your SA or SC? An SA is a Sales Advisor.

Define 'cheap'.
I meant the service center. Always thought SA meant Service Adviser
