OMGImInPattaya Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 I see that Chevy is offering these on the 3 highest spec Cruise models for purchases through December. A pretty good deal for someone in the market for medium sized runaround vehicle...for 5 years all you pay for is gas, insurance, and washes.

PeterSmiles Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Are you sure the maintenance includes the parts and liquids used. I recall that Thais are always good at those freebies that are actually not free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OMGImInPattaya Posted December 5, 2013 Author Share Posted December 5, 2013 (edited) Are you sure the maintenance includes the parts and liquids used. I recall that Thais are always good at those freebies that are actually not free. I'm pretty sure it does. The ad in English was pretty clear and I made it a point to read the fine print at the bottom. All scheduled maintenance items, including fluids, belts, brake pads, wipers, etc. are included for 5 years or 100k.I'm also assuming labour to perform all these servicings is included as we'll.

IMHO Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 It appears to be as advertised: http://en.chevrolet.co.th/cars/cruze/5-years-worry-free.html even covers some consumables... Is it just me, or does that linked page seem to be going to great pains to convince you the rumors of the Cruze's crappiness aren't real? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No mention of filters though, which one would assume are part of the campaign too, so anyone's guess. Edited December 6, 2013 by IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL, would you pose that question if it wasn't a Cruze? I think it's safe to assume that even with this program the car still has a normal warranty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though the corporation measures this as a benefit by the number of increased sales, consumers gain the benefit of a longer warranty period - which also can serve as a good selling point should they look to sell it in 3 - 4 years. Is the Chevy Cruze manufactured here, assembled here or just imported to LOS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John 1 Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 I posted on another thread I had seen something on this 5 year warranty this was a couple of weeks ago. If someone can listen to Thai it's on the Speed channel94 I think for all Chev. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

culicine Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 So is every service at 5000km or 10000km? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone can listen to Thai it's on the Speed channel94 I think for all Chev. No I believe it's only offered on the Cruise (why...bad reliability rep?). The maintenance is according to a service manual with all the scheduled servicing included in the program. If one was interested in this model, one could peruse this document at a dealer.

keemapoot Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Yeah, but... I can't find the fine print, but is it restricted to the original owner only, or a transferable 5-year? Would be nice to see warranties in TH like Kia have (7 years) or how about Vauxhall - lifetime. This is probably an effort to get Cruze to compete in that difficult segment where I would guess they are really struggling, notwithstanding Thaicruze. Might be a better campaign to figure out zero percent finance and 0-10% down to capture the market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't recall, he had turned against Chevrolet after a series of bad experience with mechanical issues. yeah, I remember. Somebody gave me a link to another forum where he was raving about his new Civic just as he did his Cruze in the beginning. I wonder if the guy ever owned a car before that Cruze. Highly doubt the Civic went bad tho... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
