Maxus-MIFA9 Supersonic October 29, 2012 Share October 29, 2012 How sua ku of me and ignorant of the current diesel engine car prices until yesterday.... Was at Toa Payoh Hub doing some shopping and saw VW having a sale promotions. On display were several models and since I am driving a 7 seaters currently, thought of maybe having a change as it left 4 years. I went straight for their 7-seaters on display. Was looking at their VW Sharan, 2000cc TSI (Euro 5 Diesel engine) on offer with bucket seats all round. Size is slightly bigger than my Picnic, passengers space wise is almost the same but the price of that Sharan was shocking for a diesel engine. Inclusive of COE, the price of Sharan above the range of $225,000+. Didn't know that a diesel engine 7-seaters could cost that much nowadays. The cheapest on displayed was the Golf which above $100k. With my wife and me browsing almost half an hour and no sale engineers approach us. Maybe I was wearing a bermuda & 'T' shirt and to them, we are just another bus & MRT couple feeling shiok touching at their new vehicles on display... Well, will visit BM this weekend to view at the Toyota Previa Hybrid. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

COE is around $90k and so minus COE from $225k, the diesel engine vehicle cost $135k.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diesel engine has always been costlier to build and hence the selling price, comparing same make/model with the same equipment level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mcscot 5th Gear October 29, 2012 Share October 29, 2012 Dear All, I read the posts with interest as I am thinking of getting a MPV. However, I have less of a budget and $200K and above is not something I can afford! I was wondering in everyone's opinion ... which is the most affordable MPV for <$150K. Diesel vs Petrol? I think the road tax for diesel in only justified for mileages above 10-15K (I maybe wrong! I last did my sums for Polo Diesel vs Kia Cerato Petrol!) and I intend to use this as a weekend car or offpeak period. Suzuki APV (dated!) vs Fiat Panorama vs Citreon C4 Picasso vs anything else?
