IMPORTED USED BMW Z4

[Galactus]

Hi All,

Was wondering is it good to buy this imported used bmw Z4.

New car from PM will cost close to 200K

Other question that I have in mind.

 

- any quality workshop in singapore to service beemer? Not just service but also change of parts and repair if got electronic problem.

 

- what will the insurance cost for someone in early 30 yrs old with 20% NCV?

go to0 bmw-sg.com. BVO is one of the better workshops

Seems quite affordable but not sure of the car's history. May be a good deal if the car is accident free and such.

You might want to consider some pros and cons.

 

Pros: a lot cheaper upfront

Cons: Loan goes by pre-owned car interest rate, COE outlives the OMV-eligibility of the car

Neutral: Lower OMV (VERY much lower)

 

Nonetheless, I find them attractive too. I'd rather a car with super low OMV so I pay less upfront.

THANKS... I CHECK OUT BEFORE BUT MORE COMFORTABLE WITH MCF... SO HOPE THE BROTHER HERE CAN ADVISE

PRE-OWN CAR INTRESTE RATE?

I THOUGHT IF LESS THEN 10 YEARS SHOULD BE AROUND 2.6 - 2.8% THEREABOUT

RIGHT?

[Sky61]

not really,that rate is more for brand new cars..preowned is around 3.7%,COEed cars are above 4%...but that was sometime ago,dunno wats the rate now.

Looks like a good deal. Wondering if we can import it ourselve without going thru dealer.

[Galactus]

bank now dying for people to loan money so should be able to get a better rates... but then again now also harder to secure loan due to the ecomony..

U could go & get the VIN number of the ka. Based on the VIN number, write to BMW of that country to get service record & whether d ka is accident free. Some1 in BMW SG did that.

 

Outside workshop can service E46 M3 CSL, why can't service a Z4?

[Sky61]

well i would advise u against this one(unless u r from exxxsxxxd)...low omv hence annual depreciation is 11kplus. plus car is 2.5yr old from origin( i know can import less than 3yrs car into singapore),so parts wear n tear even from non-usage is there...nice tan leather thou...tinking of wrapping like that

imported used car think no bank will lend, have to use finance companies.

 

banks are already not lending to each other (hence "credit crunch"), let alone to man-on-the-street at pref rates. then again, really depends on your credit records...

Banks want ppl to deposit money with them...not loan money...they have no money to lend you...

[King_of_abalone]

hello... $11k annual depreciation is considered low for a Z4!

[Sunrise]

Far too ex for a foreign import used vehicle. Given the OMV, dealer cost should be only about 90K, including the COE and used import surcharge. These guys expect to make like 40K?
