Omg.

How much you pay in total for your ride?

112k but I managed to sell my older car 3k more than expected so ok la

 

Also cos I can't wait too long, my kids are fighting upside down in the car, and my fear for their safety superseded everything else.

 

I am still trying to figured out how to maintain fuel consumption.... Any quick summary?

 

Biscuit when is the next Coe

My 3Rd bidding just failed.

 

Waiting for next 4th bidding.

 

Worst scenario will just continue my current ride till Apr 2017 then re-enter again.

 

Already don't feel the excitement of wanting a new ride.

Zen mode.

Same fate as u Mr biscuit..

Hang on to current ride..

0% excitement.

I honestly like my sale man, he seems honest and reliable.

 

But I am wondering why are they holding on to the bidding (ur cars) -- are they expecting Coe to drop big time... Cos if so then the lower the Coe the higher the profit margin

 

Btw I am so thankful I got a Mazda te weather is just too hot for a wish cos the fan doesn't reach the back and in the Mazda it's already crazy ...

Bro,

 

To be honest, with the total price you paid ($108,888 + $4,000 + reduced 2 servicing from 60K to 40K) about $112,888 without factoring both 50K & 60K servicing costs; you are essentially paying for the price of a new Mazda 5 before the drop of $38K COE which is $50K COE pricing.

Of course, he need to treat you like King for the huge top up$$$.

 

On top of this, not sure if you did squeeze the SE hidden pocket of $2K extra discount when you first booked this car.

Even if you are getting $3K more for your old ride, your SE has actually gained the maximum profit from your deal alone compared to us.

IMO, a supposed honest & reliable SE should not have asked you to top such a high premium $$ top-up for Open CAT COE given that the price you have purchased is already price increased when CAT B rebounded.

 

No offence, just sharing..

Cheers.

My SE did whatsapp me a courtesy message that the bidding is unsuccessful.

Will keep you posted on 6th April bid.

 

I replied "Noted".

Dun worry..it should be ok...just a little wear out....

Have fun zooming!

Hi all,

Since our m5 car's engine is of higher compression, is there substantial difference between using 95 and 98? Thank you.

This one I feel no diffeence cos I used to use 98 for my old ride, then later I changed to 95, no diffeence

No difference for me when I tried Esso 95 and 98. Now on Caltex 95 and it feels better than Esso.

[Stkm1234]

6-8k top up for open cat is way too much considering that there is little difference between the two.

 

Mine booked (105k) with 3yr warranty, 40km servicing (i think, can't remember) and 1yr road tax.

 

Never let them know you are desperate for car. cos they'll squeeze you for more $$$.

Finally got my COE at 3rd bid. No top-up. Hope everyone else who booked got it too.

U got it at 103,888? I see some bros here who already got their car through non guaranteed bid at 103,888. Wonder how that's possible. My SE just said it won't happen and asked me to keep waiting. Already 3 bids gone.
