Actually it is normal and common to wait for 2-3 trains in order to board during peak hours, even in other countries la. The only differences is how long is the interval between the 2-3 trains?!

Met a lancer glx seller, car got into minor scrapes, never groom, got bird s--t on the car (park outside their landed property), and want a similar price to dealer, maybe less 1k or so. The engine not so good, and they also cannot assist with anything else, so I told my friend, go find other cars better. Thanks for the input on Lemon Law! Dunno if all dealers does this...but the workshop I go to...they have regular cars that dealers send to them for servicing...repairs etc...minor repair before they are put up for sales. So dealers do make an afford to make the car presentable...just dun expect them to do major repairs for you. Some even go to the extend to change tyres (2nd hand ones).

LOL high get higher .... it's not going to come down easily unless there is a HUGE trigger point like Lehman collapse or SARS that freak the world out i not so smart, its my boss. hahhahaha kind of agree with him so, me will be out of car by 2016 maybe got to go take 2A, pgm4 andy lau hahahhaah Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dealers that I went down to shop for cars with my friends, when they take in the car, they send to do grooming. Not all will do servicing, but sometimes they will change timing belt (if older cars) and then say that previous owner changed it, so we can save time, and justify the price like that. Major repairs, no la, if the car bang until mad, they probably wouldn't take in, unless ex-owner repair and sell off. What I get annoyed with, is direct sellers, try to get similar price as dealers, but never do similar work. So, how to justify the price? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Till now i dont understand how come the train operator here dont realise this underlying problem here?! Only until recently then they realised and tried to remedy the issue?!

Gnatab Neutral Newbie July 23, 2013 Share July 23, 2013 was wondering, I just got my car a year ago when COE was at $58k for 1.6cc below. And due to the change of family plans and living condition, we don't really need the car for our daily transportation anymore. And looking at how the COE is going up still and will ever be (because gahmen wants us to go public), Do any of you think it is a good time to sell my car...say in 2 years time? Assuming the COE hovers at $60k-$70k+. I know the chances of me having to top up a few thousands more when selling is high, but is it possible? will there still be demands from dealers for used car given the situation above? Thanks in advance for the reply guys Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance for the reply guys In 2 years time, COE prices has a high probability to be lower than today's prices due to the higher quota. We have the minister's assurance and statistics for this. The quota will gradually increase every 6 months. We only see a very slight increase for the 2nd half of 2013. In 2 years, there will have been 4 revisions. Have not taken into account economic recessions, which historically is a sure thing every x years. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
