[040501912]

haha i try to get some.. weather in perth is sux man..

[Nickykeeng]

the price for honda city is 20490 now with free stamp duty, rego etc...
i bargained it down to 19800 and then added on the tinting (scammed - 500 bucks >: O ), paint etc, so eventually it's basically just under 21K.
Manual VTi Black, still waiting for it to come in. i need a set of alloys for it lol.
how much are the stock alloys?

These things aren't exactly rocketing off of the dealers lots, so expect to have a decent amount of bargaining power under your belt if you're looking to buy one.

Not a fan of citys....

Nicky Keeng, that's a decent deal, but you probably could have tried for more accessories - i managed to get floor mats, cargo protector, tints and visors for the FD.

[Nickykeeng]

damn i tried getting floor mats but all i got was extended warranty to 5 years instead of 3 and the full tank of gas

Lol dude, extended warranty means u can't mod it hahaha

Do any of you other city owners here have an issue with the passenger side air vent on the dash popping out?

[Atjo]

Yes you can as long as the mods are not the cause of the warranty claim.

[Nickykeeng]

so far i know you cant do:

Engine mods, muffler/exhaust, gear stick knob...

what else?

They can think of anything to deny your claim (they can't legally void it)

Rims will make your CD player f*ck up "ride's too bumpy"
Lowering the car will put added stress in various bits of your steering
Short shifter - obvious nono
Body kits shuoldn't screw warranty

Any I/H/E will screw warranty for sure. "engine's not designed to be less restricted"

Anything electrical will kill warranty, unless it goes through the ciggy lighter, or you install a fuse tap.

Installing audio (amps, subs, changing the HU) will cause more current draw which could flatten the battery or making ur alternator work overtime -

Don't change bulbs - could draw too much or too little current.

so basically, they can find a reason for anything.

-However!-
If your engine block cracks, and you have instane ICE installed, that has nothing to do with your engine - it's impossible to prove that the ICE did sometihng to your engine block.

If your rear shock absobers make a clicking and popping sound when you turn, and you have a fart can installed - it's impossible to prove that the exhaust system did sometihng to your rear shocks.

If your steering rack fails and you have a CAI. - that can't be proven either.

Just stay logical and be prepared for consequences should things go wrong, and keep all your stock parts just in case you need to put things back for warranty claims

oh, and be careful too - most dealers are not stupid, and it's very offensive to them if you try to hide things like that.

edit: wtf is a gear shift knob going to do to your car? make you mis-shift? and blow your engine? lololol


rep plx?

you can do exhaust, what warranty means anything happened to your exhaust it will not be covered.

better stay away with engine mod

I claimed warranty 3 times for my master cylinder on my euro & they never deny it even though i had a lot of stuff on my car.
