Jerrcik 1st Gear May 20, 2012 Share May 20, 2012 Hi guys, Somehow contemplating getting a brand new Defender by the end of this year. OTR price as for now is 148K. What i heard is 2.88% interest p.a and a maximum of 7 years loan? I calculated with a 20K down payment, monthly is 1.85K....foooo Is it true? If so, any guys out there know where i can get defender for 10 yrs loan? Btw, it needed a company registration. Another question, do you actually need to be employed by the company when you submit the company certificate of registration to the dealer? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any bros can confirm if we're still required to register them under 'G' plate instead of private plate? Thanks don't really understand your question, are you asking if you could register a defender under S plate (yes you could), you are not required to register defender under G plate if you want to register it under S plate. you could check with Wearners or your preferred PI regarding the cost for each, to my understanding, for defender 90, G plate defender is much lower priced than a S plate defender due to taxes involved.

Another question, do you actually need to be employed by the company when you submit the company certificate of registration to the dealer? All your info enquire from the authorized dealer? Why not see what PI has to offer? FYI if you want to register under commercial vehicle the loan interest rate will be higher dan passenger cars. And the loan period is usually shorter. What you need is the company owner's signature and company stamp when signing the documents plus submit the printout of the biz profile of the company from the ACRA website.

Ratz Neutral Newbie December 21, 2012 Share December 21, 2012 Ahh.. I see. Thot the ~$1k/yr is the amended new road tax for diesel cars.. for a moment i thot i found a way to get defender for cheap So even euro 5 compliant vehicles are still subjected to regular (S plate) road tax + ~$1k/yr (instead of the ~$5k/yr) diesel tax.. alamak, bros are right, not worth it leh.. Thanks for the input! Think I'd be better off waiting (if it ever happens..) for COE to drop and get a regular small cc car.. *sigh* Merry Xmas and Happy New year bros!

Nonetheless Clutched December 21, 2012 Share December 21, 2012 (edited) just bear in mind that defender hard top (no matter 90 or 110) height is 215cm (which most carparks height limit are 2.1m or below), i resort to searching for unsheltered carpark and taking note of those with height limit 2.2m and above, some cp are a hassle, they put obstacle directly above a hump, so some 2.2 might be quite risky for it...
