Wintersonata Clutched December 18, 2010 Share December 18, 2010 (edited) Both quite similarly priced. JDM slightly higher road tax. Other than AD warranty, but since after 5 years, no more warranty coverage. Which one will you chose? AD http://www.sgcarmart.com/used_cars/info.ph...558&DL=1008 JDM http://www.sgcarmart.com/used_cars/info.ph...055&DL=2175 Edited December 18, 2010 by Wintersonata ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Civic2000 Supercharged December 18, 2010 Share December 18, 2010 Both are having the same engine capacity, how to have different road tax? The road tax for both are the same at $1638 per year. What I see is AD's model has higher OMV, while JDM one has a slightly higher COE, right? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

1fast1 Supersonic December 18, 2010 Share December 18, 2010 sry to ask , AD meaning ? Authorised Dealer or Distributor. The company that has the contract with the parent company overseas. E.g. Borneo Motors for Toyota. Tan Chong for Nissan. Performance Motors Limited for BMW. Usually contrasted with PI for Parallel Importer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wintersonata Clutched December 18, 2010 Author Share December 18, 2010 Still didnt get any replies yet. Both out of warranty. So AD factor might be less meaningful now. Problem might be availability of spare parts which AD models will have more stock compared to JDM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desong Neutral Newbie December 18, 2010 Share December 18, 2010 both share same engine.. yes AD has higher OMV styling wise JDM is nicer..different headlamps and taillights.. JDM uses handbrake..AD is foot brake.. AD camry comes everythin factory fitted..leather seats and floormats r the same colour for all regardless wat exterior colour u choose.. JDM has no foglamps as its illiegal in japan..has no in build stereo as the same as most other JDM models..but its better as u can freely install any sound system u wan..can even install in build GPS and reverse camera and dvd touchscreen.. JDM camry from PI..hence price is always negotiable and assesories also can choose.. happy shoppin :) imho..JDM camry is a better buy..OMV may be lower..but u gt japanese QC..better looks..able to customise in car package from PIs.

Haha, sorry bro. Looking at second hand car. New cars are killer price now. I dont think the dealers are going to add anything new to it. 2k difference in OMV might not make a lot of difference. In terms of depreciation, AD one will cost $600 more per year than JDM. $3600 more depreciation over 6 years.

Alheych 6th Gear December 18, 2010 Share December 18, 2010 the AD styling is catered to SEA taste where bigger and more chrome is better. JDM is more modest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
