April 31: The quest ends and the wait begins

April 31, 2007.

Monday. Told my colleagues that I put downpayment for the lemon. Their response were quite positive. 2 relatives of one of my colleague have just got the 1.6 Optra Sedan already and have no complains about it. They bought it mostly because of the attractive discount. Another colleague's brother in law also put downpayment for a 1.8 Optra Sedan 2 weeks ago and is awaiting the car. He also mentioned that his high school teacher relative was enticed by the discount and bought the Chevy over Waja. Hmmm, cant be too bad if so many people want it.

Brandon's friend is also looking for the Chevy. He wants the Chevy 1.8 Hatchback. Same specs with the Sedan except for the leather seats. Only RM61K compared to RM66K my 2006 1.8 Optra Sedan.

Heard that all the 1.8 cars are sold out. Called the agent, Hudson, and his dealer, Mr Yap and they confirm that there's a car for me, not to worry. I was given a choice of colour so I chose Royal Gray. Dark cars are nice and classy, but not sure if it will go down well with the older folks, i.e. my mother may have some "Pantang Larangan".
