Well, I get to knock off from work slightly earlier last week so I decided to drop by Cycle & Carriage to take a look at their latest model iPlay. I have been aiming for the iCar since it was launched and we had plans to get it next year. But price has gone up since we last saw it. The new iPlay is sooo cool, with a touch screen panel which is compatible with iPod, there is no more need for CDs. Of course I have to first find time to copy all my songs over to my hdd. Then there is the additional sporty stuff like fog lamps, spoiler etc. I went home to persuade dear after getting all the details, have to convince him that it is better to get it before the gst hike which'll make the car cost $1k more. Thank God that he also feel that price will increase after the gst hike. So with an unsure heart, we went down to the showroom again on friday to make our booking. Not sure if we got a good deal, but we managed to get the color we want after much effort - Pearl White (we saw this on a Evo and it was love at first sight. I dropped my idea of getting a white car after seeing this. Also dear kept reminding me that white turns yellow after some time and I dun wanna risk driving a yellow grumpy car). They specially order this color for us from Japan..only thing is we might have to wait a bit longer. I only hope that the price will keep going up and not the other way round. We managed to get free leather seats, an extra immobilizer, 3M floormats and Rikecool for the entire car at a topup of $200. Wasn't able to get it for free though..kinda sad about this. But the best deal is we got a free upgrade, so we're paying the price of a normal Mit-i but getting the iPlay which costs $4k more normally. So excited and can't wait.
The one at the bottom is the one we're getting, the one on top is solid white. But trust me, solid white doesn't really look as good ...pearl white has lower risk of turning yellow overtime..so is safer in the long run. Will be collecting our car in Nov if nothing goes wrong..and I can start scouting around for car deco. Yippeee...
