bro, his case is not the same... his is 0 hand, so he knows exactly what happened to his car all these time, but you can't find out any thing that was done to yours since 2007... sorry to say this, but this is the chance we have to take should we buy secondhand unless you can really trust the 2nd hand shop.

Well, honestly i think it really depends on yr luck and i am sure i totally run out of it when i get this car...but after the conversation with keith, dav and stanley the other night, it shouldnt be not a "big" problem and maybe just some sensors issues..."finger cross", so, buying a 2nd hand car is ok..as long as u are lucky enough and a very trusted salesman!
+1, After test drove the car, i think the problem is from the sensors rather than machanical fault.
Hope you got things sorted finally

Hi Guys,
I was reading along and a great gang you guys are. I have question and need your advise and it did came up a few pages back. My 1 year warranty is almost up with BM HK and thet sended me some warranty plan and I can't decide if its worth to tag along with it. They said once you dropped out you can't rejoin after 2yrs. But paying over $9,000 for an free oil change for the 2nd yr and bits just don't justify for me. Warranty is like insurance which is like a bet. So I am leaning towards not to with it...cuz I am cheap...
Thanks!

Wing on dept car park is ok, thks for informing on W O Central bldg
don't try the one near the Central market!!!
don't go down Aberdeen st though if you're lowered with a hamann type splitter!!!!!!
same for North point kwong wan sing, that f car park is stupid, curbed my wheel there today
entrance to Airport Express car park, and Sogo TST car park-the rised curbs on both sides are also wheel breakers

I guess you were trying to park on the island side? Wan Chai? I would say PP and/or IFC are the only choices on the island side for F02
talkng abt this issue, never ever go to Wing On Central 4th floor, unless you drive X5 or X6! take my advice, even for those who never lower your car!

1st year is 9000 then2nd year is much mor and I think you only can join for 3 years and then you have to pay for broken parts.
like I say before I never join over the 3 years paying over $40000 is just not worth it.
Like you say it just a insurance cover, also if the big part do brake down they will within the 1st 2 years after it just ware and tair of the moving part.
Let me put it this way, for me over the 5 year owning the car I have spend about $15000 fixing parts and changing oil.
BTW can you come out for the morning drive?
8am at heliport car park.
