PreseaLover

Just FYI, wasn't ever trying to compare any car with mine or had an intention of saying mine is better to a another because as a motorhead i love other cars as well... infact I dream of buying a mark ii for my father one day instead of buying him a presea... just wanted to know the price the presea was back then to see if there were any market fluctuations throughout the time, just for my knowledge, not to walk one or two steps higher by hearing the result... I didn't sell my left testicle either to buy this and don't have an intention of selling this either no matter what market price it will be, years down the line... the only factor i was comparing it to was the price and nothing else the reason i took the mark ii as an example because its initial price was 3.3 back then and comparing it to a price now, its is a huge difference so thought of finding out the value a presea was... in the same manner i wanted to know who built the presea, his name, where he lives, not because it matters to me or not because im gonna go meet him, but because i like to know every bit of information of it... same with the price factor.. every bit of information counts to me not only the factors you pointed out... man to man, what they see, what they wanna know or what they wanna feel differ.. and even if the results/answers for the question i seek for is negative i would still love my ride

Yes, I'm doing more of a comparison with other vehicles of the same range... For an example I heard that the 1999 mark II grande came in for 3.3 mil back then..is it true?.. and now it's going for around 1.8mil... so in comparison, the mark ii's real value has had a huge downfall than the presea...

LOL yeah yeah I know back in 2006 when i checked the car was going for around 1.2mil... in 2009 for around 1.4mil... in 2012 back to 1.2/1.3mil, and then this year 1.5/1.6mil... wonder how would it be 5 years down the line...

If you are to select an option out of these two what would the best to chose? (i) Parking the car under trees in the shade but will get attacked by crow shit.. and sometimes big branches might fall too... (ii) Parking the car in the sun where you don't get attacked by crow shit... Today I chose to park in the sun to avoid crow shit (but with the dashboard sun cover on)... Crow shit damages the paint yeah? I see... the "Karbon Club" place seems to be good yeah... wonder if they will give the original look/colour if i give to them... anyone have any experience getting a job done by them? (I just saw their fb page - "Karbon Club")... anyway Thanks NRX

And the 4th spot cannot be seen in this pic... but there is a slight crack just like the left bottom one, in the same edge of the right bottom.... I kinda feel embarrassed, when people who get into my car points out "Hey you got cracks in this panel"...

Ahhh I see... which means Presea is one of those cars which the price never went down with time...

Here you go... this was a pic i took 2 days back.... the green highligted places are the cracks as you can see (the upper one is the same as these, even though we cant see much in this pic)

Haha, I'm pretty sure I noticed only 1 small crack and other than that there were no cracks to my knowledge.. (On a different note since of late, I have experienced things what I see is not what it really is :s ) No no, not on the dashboard... in the center console panel where the casette player and the AC is situated.. precisely in the upper console around the casette player... damn, i think you are right, i have been using that shitty dashboard cleaner until you guys advised me in this post not to use them, and maybe because of that.. no i don't think heat/sun is being touching my dash because I have been using one of those large sun protector covers used for mercs, plus i never park my car in the sun...And the cracks are on the edges... will be it expensive to buy a middle console panel? is there any place you know i can buy these?

don't tell me you are going to sell your presea and plans of buying a kia

Did you buy?

I don't know how this is happening, but lately I noticed there are crack marks in the center console panel (4 crack marks precisely)... when i bought it there were no crack marks but now there are.... I havent been taking the car on shitty roads either and I'm confused.... anyone know why and how this is happenning? I think I will need to replace the center console.... any special shop in SL where i can buy a panel? and how much will it cost? when removing or putting a new panel, you don't have to remove the entire dashboard yeah?

No mutual friends.. you told this story back then in the presea thread

yeah i know your story too.....I know how you feel... I can't imagine the day I would sell mine but you and I both know with time, things are going to get heated up having old cars..... :/ yeah but still i wouldnt know how i will feel to see it with someone else...i hope in 5 years time il be in a position to buy another one without selling mine.... anyway good luck on your new purchase mate....

Ah that makes sense now... your probably are right...

Are you gonna sell your eg8? You have been using it for 5 years right? how did you change your mind to go for a new car?

Just curious... does anyone know back in the day (in 2001) what was the selling price of the Presea?

I have the same issue in my Nissan Presea as well... however I thought its normal so didn't pay much attention... because this doesnt happen all the time... it being a manual, just like the OPs post, when i put from 1st to 2nd gear, and without accelerating fast, if i accelerate very slow and release the clutch i get the jerk/knock... but if i accelerate fast i don't get it... when pressing the break paddle slow or fast it doesnt come though.. at the tuneup Mr. Dammika said i have a weak O2 senser when idling, but good when its fast... is it due to the o2 senser in my case? He said i dont have to replace spark plugs or anything as they were fine....

There is already a group ---------> https://#####/8714044665/

And I've been trying to indoctrinate people into being presea lovers by sharing the fb presea fan page and group page all over other automotive related pages

Yeah genuine

My dear friend 'Magnum' already posted that link in this thread yesterday... thought you must have already checked it out

Would like to see all the vehicles of you guys... Apart from Magnum's 2 vehicles, haven't seen any others...

And everytime you get copped, try to put a sad puppy face, talk him out and get his sympathy vote and try to get away.. works for me all the time... got copped driving the car only once though....
