UPDATE 03 Aug 2016:
COE secured on 3 August 2016, first bid by Honda, at $57,903.00. Honda placed a bid of $60,547.00.
UPDATE 09 Aug 2016:
We have settled the remaining payment, confirmed the loan, and now just waiting for the new car to be issued on the 18 Aug, evening.
At this time, we are looking at some minor modes to the Odyssey paint work. Can you spot the difference of the front and back painting ideas?
The details shows it. Darkened rims (YowCH’s preferred rim color) and reduction of the very ‘blinding” chrome areas with matching body paint colour.
UPDATE 18 Aug 2016:
Car collected from Kah Motor at 11:45am. The registration was done on 17 Aug 2016.
At collection, here are the two cars with the same plate:
The Isis now bears SLF1912M.
Here are the views of our car:
Some internal views, with Grace, Joseph and Samuel (Esther was in school, David was taking his PSLE English Oral, and Joseph had PSLE leave).
And here’s a look at the panel at night.
Thank God for the new car, nicely comfortable for passengers and driver, but not as aggressive driving due to the CVT and weight of the car.
Some mods to think about:
1. Paint work as above.
2. Additional storage boxes for knick-knacks.
3. Sun-shades for windows.
4. Reverse under bumper light.
UPDATE 28 Aug 2017:
After 1 year, we have driven close to 20,000km. The following minor mods were made:
1. Added visors to the side windows
2. Added fitted sun-shades
3. Added storage boxes and storage bags
4. Added steering wheel cover
Some points:
1. Likely to add spring stiffeners, the suspension is very soft.
2. Will be changing rims and tyres when the first set wears out.
