I have visited JDM and their pricing for Vezel @ $104,888 is really attractive.

My main concern is that it's too good to be true.

 

Second question: Does anyone have any experience with them? I would really appreciate if any bros can drop me a very short PM to share their experience.

 

 

This is my first post. Thanks guys!

 

One of the lowest price..but please read the fine print..

 

Did they indicate 4 bids "start and end" duration ?

 

Some PI can take 4 months to complete the 4 bids (bid once every month).

 

Some PI can take 8 months to complete the 4 bids (reasons is shipment delay, no point bidding if car not arrived yet).

I have been reading a decent amount of this thread for awhile now.

 

I went to test drive HRV and QQ today. (I know there's some differences btw Vezel vs HRV but I just wanted to 'feel' the car).

However I am still torn between Vezel and Qashqai 1.2 Turbo.

 

First question: Does anyone had this dilemma and what factors drove them to make their decision?

Though you are not asking me, my answer would be no I'm not comfortable buying from PI but this Vezel is such an attraction that I would consider buying from PI now for this model though previously I would say "over my dead body will I ever buy from PI"!

Hi, am looking at Vezel too. Just curious if there is any difference between 6 bids and 1 bid guaranteed COE? I went to one PI last week, the SE said that 1 bid guarantee but he said they won't bid immediately after signing the SA. In this case, the PI can bid whenever they like and the most we buyer can do is to include a latest delivery date in the SA which allow us to cancel the SA if we still do not get the COE By the stated date.

 

Seems like we are all at the mercy of PI.. maybe it is time for the authority to have some control in this business to protect the buyer.

Agreed. Have to state clearly in SA. I booked in Apr b4 the first bidding. Told me 6 bids n get car b4 Jul. 6 bids doesnt mean consecutive 6 bids. 6 bids might span a few months.. now i know.. Till now still havent got. Recently just got coe.. very long wait.. but should be within this month!!!

About 500 or more. Dusclaimer. I got quoted as low as 300 before. Managed to find a good one which i got much higher. Pm me for contact.

If change tyres to bigger sizes, will the car consume more fuel? Affect fc?

Theoretically yes. Ever inch up is about 1km/l lesser. But deps on the rims you chosed and tyres profile. The stock 16 inch of vezel is about 10kg. I got a light weight 17 inch coupled with lower profile ride (from 215 60 r16 to 215 55 r17), hence my fc was not much affected. In fact it improves a bit. Fc deps on your tyres too (not just size). Some tyres are better for fc.

I guess it deps? To me. 6 bids or 4 bids must equate consecutive bids. That is what my pi did for me and my friends. Perhaps to be safe, lock down the delivery date.

Hmmm.. Too gd 2b true.. If u do really got it at tt price & receive ur ride... Ur damn lucky, if not, then good luck!

I bought from them.... JDM ... signed contract 24th May. Car arrived at show room yesterday. So about 1 month and a few days. Service has been good ... At least for me.

 

My only regret and a big regret is that if I booked now... I'd save 10k... :( COE Dropped. But I got a 1K COE rebate from the contract... Hi yah should hv waited... Sigh... But other then this... JDM has been excellent in service. Look for Dex the main guy... I was served by Julie ... Both good.

That's a great point to clarify with them. Will get more info and update when I talk to them again.

I am not particularly uncomfortable with PI.

While AD have a better warranty/servicing package, the upfront cost difference (e.g. Vezel vs HRV) is rather huge. I believe this factor is why many is risking to buy from PI rather than Kah Motor. (I understand they are not exactly the same)

Great to hear a feedback about JDM. I also talked to Julie on my first visit and I do like her attitude.

Can you share how COE bidding their system works? How many bids? Immediately and consecutive?

Also, did you manage to get them to specify a delivery date on the contract?

 

Thanks bro !

Tot I should share my exp with PI since I already got my Baby Vezel delivered.

 

First of all I bought my Vezel from this PI after scrutinizing online for many days for a reliable PI. When my Civic gonna expired, I finally took up the courage to visit AML and like a Singaporean shoppers, I went to almost the showrooms on the ground floor for a see see look look jalan jalan. I had shortlisted a few PI from the online forums but nonetheless, being a singaporean, I still backside itchy and went for all showrooms.

 

From what I can say, all singaporeans love to buy cheap and good stuff and I was one of them! I want cheap, good and those can deliver fast. Haha. So after walking almost all shops, I must say that eventually I didn't buy it cheap. The PI I signed with, their price of Vezel was on the higher side. I was talking to this SE and I told him to give discount and more freebies else I would consider as their price is $2000-$3000 more than the rest! But all I got was a lesson given by the shop boss, he simply asked me one question and this question actually made me make up my mind.

 

Do you wanna just buy "cheap" car or are you here to buy car? Simple question but carries a strong message. In the end, they gave me an additional V7 iroad vid cam and I signed up. I must say thru out the whole deal was a smooth one and I got my Vezel delivered to me after 22 days which the contract wrote 1 month guaranteed COE, no top up or rebate.

 

Conclusion, I signed up for a car and I didn't really bother about delivery till the date of getting my car. Oh ya, anyway my fren also bought from this PI and he gotten his car in May liao, this is also a factor that made me signed with this SE. Hope all buyers can also understand this theory sent to me by this PI boss, there is no cheap and good thingy in buying car, you cant have the best of both world.

 

Do your research online and also see if anybody you know had their car delivered liao. Good Luck all!

I am interested in Vezel, lurking around this thread for some time since. Waiting for the right moment to jump in.

 

My only concern, apart from looking for a trusted PI, is regarding recall. What if tgere is a recall say to fix the faulty airbag or whatever, who and where should we turn to? I am sure Kah Motors will not come forth to take responsibility. What will happen, especially if the recall concerns the safety aspects? Any one kind enough to share?

Ultimately , worth is the main key word.

The extra few k you paid for getting from PI made you feel worth for those extra reasons.

Like what bro spring has mentioned... He would consider getting from PI because of Vezel but not before as he feel it is worth to take a risk for a lovely attraction HONDA VEZEL. :)

Of course, we singaporeans love cheap and good things ...lol

Best to have both, if cant, make you own choice and move on :)

Thanks bro !

From what I gather they will start bidding when the car is reaching Singapore. They only started bidding for me when they confirm car was being delivered. One bid then secured Liao. I think in this dropping COE climate the longer they start the biding the better for you. As I said I got a rebate of slightly more the 1k... I think if wait next bidding maybe can get a better rebate?.. So that's my only regret. Sign contract too early.
