Vit4wd 1st Gear March 10, 2006 Share March 10, 2006 Thanks, Nav14 & Redeel for the clarification. This Komoco SE gave me misleading information ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faithe Neutral Newbie March 10, 2006 Share March 10, 2006 I think not only Komoco is like that,my colleague recently ordered a Nissan at $46.5K, on her first bid on 8mar, TC only bid 8K for her!!! The reason given by her SE was that cos her car is out of stock, so usually they will give it to those buyers who choose car with stocks....how true is this?? Whats the latest price of verna now?

Overdrive Neutral Newbie March 10, 2006 Share March 10, 2006 Whats the price for an OPC 1.1 getz, does anyone have any idea? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickster 5th Gear March 10, 2006 Share March 10, 2006 I suppose its now its around 38K...y not u consider the verna/rio 1.4M? They're only about 3-4K more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickster 5th Gear March 10, 2006 Share March 10, 2006 Yea, I think there's some truth in it...I've booked my rio 1.4M hatch in Feb. So far 2 bids gone by...missed the bids miserably. coz only bidding @ 10K or less. So I called my SE and asked him if there's anyway i can back out of the deal (to get other cars of course ). Coz I told him that at the price he's bidding for me, there is almost no chance i'm gonna get it with the remaining 4 bids. I also told him that i'm NOT going to do any top up at all. Then he assured me that he'll give me an open cat COE, as long as my car stock has arrived, they'll do something about the COE. Well, i guess it all boils down to weather C&C wanna absorb that 1-2K difference and earn lesser or juz forget about teh whole deal and return me my deposit.

Vit4wd 1st Gear March 10, 2006 Share March 10, 2006 From past experience, C&C will only bid a realistic price for you when your car arrives on SIN shores. Profit margin for Rio is reasonably good, so C&C still has margin to bid even for S$15K Cat A COE. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickster 5th Gear March 11, 2006 Share March 11, 2006 (edited) Hopefully they can help out a little...why i'm not confident of gettnig the car is becos my loan is only a 1 yr loan. And the SE is spending alot of time explaining to me why i shuold get more loan with the usual crap like "U can get all these free gifts worth a few K juz by payin only a little more each month, so you will not feel the pinch. bla bla bla..." Take little loan, little interest paid = SE earn little interest commission = SE not willing to give free gifts (I only got reverse sensor and alarm, NOTHING else ) = SE not willing to "fight" for ur car for u = longer waiting time Moral of the story: Take 100% loan @ 10 yrs !! Sure get ur car fast, plenty of free gifts Edited March 11, 2006 by Rickster Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kranjipioneer 3rd Gear March 12, 2006 Share March 12, 2006 Got my 1.1M Getz at $35.5k with no loan (and no freebies). COE secured at first bidding 18 Jan 2005. Collected car on 25 Feb 2006. It all depends on the timing and the SE. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desperatehw Neutral Newbie March 12, 2006 Share March 12, 2006 Like I've mentioned in my previous post, like you, I got my car at the first bidding, $35.5k when COE was $8k, discount $7k. After that bidding, price actually fell by another 1k while COE was $10k at the next bidding. I think no one got the 1.1M at $34.5k, but those who maintained discount at $7k, buying at $35.5k still got it. (My fren bought the 1.4A at $8k discount, and got the car at the price, $40.5k, I think. So effectively, he has got a better deal, higher COE, albeit a steeper discount.) Thereafter, COE kept raising, so no one has since gotten it at $35.5k. When I signed on the dotted line, my contract price was actually $37.5, at $5k discount, but 2 days later, my SE has the decency to tell me that the discount was then $7k, so I am really quite pleased with the service, especially when I still managed to get the car before CNY. All in all, I only waited for 12 days to drive my new car, which I found quite unbelievable. Talking about service, my only grouse is that I hope to speak to someone on the other end of the line, instead of merely getting to punch in numbers and getting the response "sorry, your requested date is not available." I've hit 1500km but going to the workshop only coming Saturday. How's the FC for the 1.1M? I'm at 13.4km/l, and hardly read about owners posting their FC for this car. Read one though, saying he has got 14.5 - 15.5 km/l, and that got me quite depressed... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spurman Supercharged March 13, 2006 Share March 13, 2006 The FC is ard 14.5 to 15.5.. Not as good as Picanto as this car is heavier.... Driving patterns varies, sometimes jam here n there, quite bad FC, but overall till date, drive 10,000km liao, avg ard 14.5 to 15.5.... Maybe becoz I also got drive 1000km in Malaysia, and I avg bout 110km/hr, and my FC for that one was quite gd, at 16km.... Otherwise U should get ard 14.5. Oh ya, sometimes I drive at nite w/o Air-con, which might explains slighter better FC... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
