Hamburger Hypersonic March 19, 2015 Share March 19, 2015 that's what i thought too. really cannot count to the last cent. if something else goes kaput within the next 5 months that immobilises the car, you will be looking at a whole new sum altogether. the pain comes in when you need to change, say a radiator.... change already use for five months where it could be more than five years.............lagi bang Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dgeralds 1st Gear March 20, 2015 Share March 20, 2015 Hi all $650 is average insurance with 50% NCD for a 35 year old. Also note that cancellation involves 20 to 25% admin fee or cancellation fee or whatever it is called. Insurance is $500+ for 30 year old with 50% NCD at Aviva. According to Aviva, they will provide prorated refund when vehicle is scrapped as they do not insure vehicles more than 10 years old. Huh? What makes you so sure that I have not seen the car yet? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old-driver 5th Gear March 20, 2015 Share March 20, 2015 the pain comes in when you need to change, say a radiator.... change already use for five months where it could be more than five years.............lagi bang Thats why the price has to be reasonable enough as the buyers are taking a risk... they could end up scrapping the car earlier if something major crops up Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am talking about those cars listed under direct owner in sgcarmart.. all bulls**t one lah, most of them are dealers, trying calling them and you will know lor btw, any car with less then 1 year less is worthless to dealers, they will say hard to sell, take in scrap value then next moment market as good for short term use, add a few more K to the scrap value to sell Win Win situation to them as nothing to loss even if till scrap cannot sell Some of the workshops will also buy these kind of cars to used as replacement car for those claiming insurance due to insurance 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

recayong Neutral Newbie March 21, 2015 Share March 21, 2015 Sounds like a scam... Ya i also think so .. See the reply from the owner and ask me to pay down payment to secure eBay account to reserve the car @@" Quote I've lived in Singapore until 2 months ago (I have worked at CitiBank) and now I'm in Germany, I've moved with my family in Frankfurt to manage a business, the children are going to the school... so I'm not willing to move back in Singapore because I'm alone there and the life is more beautiful in Germany, but I still have a flat rent and a private garage for 6 more months. About the car, I can confirm you that it's in perfect condition, like new, silver colour exterior, leather interior, navigation system, touch screen DVD Player, full options, no damaged, 100% free accident, fully paid, first owner, still under warranty, I assure you that you will love it. The car has actually only 86,000 km. You can find attached to this email the a document PDF with the car details to prove that I'm serious person. The car is now located in my private garage from Singapore but unfortunately there is nobody who could show it, I don't have any relatives or someone confident to Beirut who could help me on the car sale. I am going to come back in Singapore to give you the car and documents in person if you are a serious buyer. Last month Ive travelled to Singapore for someone who promised that he will buy the car but in the end he failed getting a bank loan. Complete waste of time and money. All I want, is to be sure that I have a serious buyer for my car when I will go back in Singapore, and I won't reserve it for anything. For this reason I have signed a contract with eBay to use their services. The financial part will be managed by them, which means that you will can inspect the car before committing to buy the car. EBay acts as third party and has advantageous conditions for both of us (seller and buyer), so, they will help us to close the deal safely and fast. Please note that I will be paid after you have inspected and decided to transfer the car and documents under your name and not before. So, I can start the official procedure and register you as my potential buyer to eBay. For that I need the following info from you: - your Full Name (first name, last name) - your Complete Address (street name, city) Then you'll receive the selling procedure. So, depending on your promptness I can arrive in Singapore in a few days in order to give you the car and sign the transfer papers. Thank you for your interest and looking forward for your personal details. Unquote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
