baddabing Clutched September 10, 2014 Share September 10, 2014 Hi all, I read the posts so far and it seems like a lot of guys here had issues with booking a V40 just like me. Maybe I was lucky to get a more responsible SE who manage somehow to uphold the deal. Also there was a pleasant surprise of LTA not requiring re-homologation of the new batch so I managed to take deliver of my ride in the 2nd week of Aug, I guess I was very fortunate to collect my ride within a month of order. Opted for the CC model as the gadgets and the moonroof was what attracted me to it, nevermind it commands quite a premium over the base model. The D2 engine does sound like a Taxi, but 270Nm of torque makes it effortless to pull away from a standing stop. A full tank takes me between 700 to 800km, absolutely brilliant considering I benchmarked it to my previous ride the Honda Fit which itself is a frugal ride. Other than a blown fuse that was replaced within 10minutes, I am enjoying my ride. As well as getting used to less frequent visits to the Petrol (should I say Diesel) Station. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am interested in the V40 Diesel, but am confused of the real pricing and availability of the base model. Appreciate if anybody can share the latest pricing (with guarantee and non-guarantee COE). Thanks, Andy Went down to the showroom 2days ago. Saw that the price for tha base model was $130k for 6 bids non guaranteed Coe. The lowest price was $119,999, of which none of the buyers were successful in their bids. Those who topped up to $125k got their cars. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
