Yap I agree with you that the down payment as well as the duration of the HP will affect the installment. But I'm commenting with respect to the "so call promotion" offered by the Ford. The price of the car itself is compatative. And if I were in the position to buy the car, I wont take their very unatractive promotion offer.

agreed

but the promo actually is giving out discount after minus the 10% downpayment required for HP eg. RM 113x10%= 11300-5200= RM6100 so that is the actual discount given but they try not to be too direct.

to me RM6100 discount for a 2009 car is quite ok compare to those jap honda civic and toyota altis
