rcz Neutral Newbie September 10, 2015 Share September 10, 2015 It's simple maths. Car cost for SX = 39K COE reserve price = 57,999 Total cost = 97k Selling price = 105k (non guaranteed) Kia's profit margin on SX = 8k EX car cost = 32,700 Selling price = 95k (non guaranteed) Hence I expect his reserve price to be around 54k, which is obviously unattainable in the current market. By the way this also means for those buying SX, non guaranteed bid is a good choice if COE stays around this level. No need to pay an extra 4k my AD presented to me... gtd coe xtras 4k but aso incld 3 yr servicing which cost 2k. so actually paying jus 2k for cfm coe wor...did i get con? getting my car nxt week ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you drive say only 36K in 3 years, you actually get to use only 3 services (10k, 20K, 30K), and will forgo the rest (40K, 50K, 60K) as you will only reach those beyond the 3 year mark. If each service ave about $300, then 3 services is only about $900. Edited September 10, 2015 by danzo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But from the calculations above you can see that non guaranteed COE for SX is as good as guaranteed, based on their targeted profit margin. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If each service ave about $300, then 3 services is only about $900. No bro, its 10K or 6 mths whichever is earlier.. so if you drive <10K but hit 6 mths, you go service.... Correct me if I am wrong k?

Quahfamili Neutral Newbie September 10, 2015 Share September 10, 2015 (edited) Non gtd too. 1st bid too. Actually I heard people got theirs in 3 working days. First you need them to reserved a car with chassis number for you. I got mine today, in fact before I bought the car, I already reserved the colour already. Then your insurance plays a part. Need them to clear your payment so you can get your insurance in time for car collection. I paid by cash. And lastly you need to know how to press the sale exec!

Ahchan Clutched September 11, 2015 Share September 11, 2015 Hi there, New to K3, but would like to find out more from you guys...hope you can help..:) Is Eurostyle referring to the GPS cum Reverse Cam ? I presume the SX does not come with Eurostyle by default, so what is the default ? Seems that Eurostyle and Bodykit are locally fit for the SX...so is there some other thing that are locally fitted and can be opted out (with some rebate) beside these 2 ? Thx in advance...

Thx in advance... 1)yes GPS cum reverse cam. 2)Default is the 1 you see in sgcarmart photos 3)actually good thing about kia k3 is almost everything is fitted in factory, which is a good thing. So far i can also think of these 2 only and maybe the solar film? usually a free gift though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
