MY NEW CAR

Couple of days ago finally my new car arrived, its a spanking new silver daihatsu xenia. well after all my crazy journey with my old car, I said farewell to my old car. I've been trying to buy a new car since January this year, after some thinking at march I try to buy a new car. My budget only allowed me to buy something under 90 mil rups.

so I went to every dealership in town (okay I lie, actually only 2 places), first I try to buy Toyota Avanza, but the sexy lady at the dealership told me to wait more than a year before I can see the Toyota, SUCKS!!!. Maaann I want my car and I want it now!!!!. Later the sexy lady offered faster delivery with some extra cash, whoooaaah welcome to Indonesia.... Cash is king!!
Since I don't have the cash, I try to buy Daihatsu Xenia the Avanza's twin sister.

I went to the daihatsu dealership, I try to buy the same specs with avanza the 1300cc one, now the nice salesman with his kid (yes, he actually brings his small boy to the dealership) said that for that specs I need to wait for a year also!!!!! SUCKS!!. WHAT CAN I DO????.
Maybe I should buy a second hand car, but I want a NEW CAR!!!, and I WANT IT NOW!!!!.
Okay enough about the tantrum.....

The nice salesman with the kid offered me the 1000cc xenia which I can get in 4 month, but it doesn't have power steering. With Jakarta's crazy traffic jam, I want my powersteering. I finally give in, I'm buying the 1000cc Xenia. After pay the 2.5 mil down payment, I left with a smile.

JULY
this month I supposed to get the new car, but nnnnoooooooo.......
my new car is still a dream, seems nobody at daihatsu realized that I already book the F**KN' car 4 months ago. So every chance I got I terrorized the salesman with phone calls.

first week of august the salesman finally call, Hei we got your car!! I almost jump for joy, hurrah. "BUT " the salesman said, the color is different than you want also the specs is a bit different, THEN WHOSE F**KN' CAR IS IT???? Its a totally, well almost totally, different car, I want mine is champagne gold deluxe plus, they got silver deluxe standard and they tell me its MY CAR????
another tantrum episode, I ask the salesman, hey when MY CAR arrives? pause....pause...pause... I don't know sir, the salesman said.
MAAaannn this is a perfect example of small costumer get F**Ked by big corporation.
OOOOKKKAAAYYYY.... I'll take the silver one.......
When can I get the new car? Oh, in a week sir, if you pay 200 thou for the police you can get it in 3 days....(Another Indonesia tragedy episode)
NO ! I wont pay another dime, I'll wait....
