It all started back in mid Jun 2010 when I decided to order a Satria Neo Lite. Initially, I have no intention of getting a car at that point of time, as a matter of fact, I sold off my old 1997 Proton Satria 1.3. The reason being that I was working near Midvalley The Gardens and I thought that KTM would provide a cheap and easy mode of transportation traveling to and from work since the KTM station is conviniently located near my house and Midvalley.
I sold off my old Satria 1.3 to my uncle who is a second hand dealer for a nominal sum of RM 5,500. The car was quite in a bad shape considering the rusty roof and many other small bits here-and-there that require touch ups. Anyway, he managed to sell the car for some small profit. I heard it he sold it to a Malay guy. Well, hope the the car will end up in good hands.
Anyway, I took KTM for almost 2 weeks and I totally give up hope on it. With the frequent delay and breakdowns, it is way too unreliable and a small fry like me, cannot afford to arrive late at work. On top of that, suffocating myself in a sardine-packed train is definitely not a good way to start my day. Hence, I decided to fastforward my plan to get a Satria Neo.
I went to this Proton dealer near Pasar Borong Selayang. A guy by the name of Brian attended to me. Well, I ordered a black neo lite with him and paid the booking fee. He promised that the car will arrive, latest 2 months. I trusted him and waited. In case you don't know, I took KTM for that whole period and life was really not too fun, truthfully. I can bet RM 1 billion with you that every morning of a working day, you'll hear people shouting and pushing, the scene is overly chaotic and you'll wonder why we Malaysians cannot excel in Rugby or American Football~really.
To my horror, Brian still unable to get me the car 2 months later. I got extremely frurstrated with him, went to Proton Branch in Mutiara Damansara. Mr. Khor attended to me and checked the system. Apparently, there is one neo lite black available. Straightaway I cancel my order with Brian and proceed with Mr. Khor. Honestly speaking, anyone looking to order a Neo may want to look out for Mr. Khor from Mutiara Damansara branch, he is a man who provides service of the highest quality.
A week later, I got my car and a beautiful relationship with my neo has just begun.
