Limweeli 1st Gear November 29, 2015 Share November 29, 2015 (edited) Sharing my post in the FB group to help clear some doubts on CEVS, loan and affordability. Please use this as a reference/guide only. NORMAL DEPRECIATION CALCUATION To help the would-be owners, here's some depreciation calculation on the Sienta that you can reference while making your decision. This is the depreciation that car dealers will tell you. 1st batch hybrid with CEVS $15kPrice = $120kOMV = $24kCEVS = $15kRebate = ($20 + ($4k * 1.4) - $15k) / 2 = $5.3kDep = ($120k - $5.3k) / 10 = $11.47k / year Later batch hybrid with CEVS $30kPrice = $120kOMV = $24kCEVS = $30kRebate = $5k / 2 = $2.5k (minimum is $5k)Dep = ($120k - $2.5k) / 10 = $11.75k / year 1st batch high spec G with CEVS $10kPrice = $120kOMV = $22kCEVS = $5kRebate = ($20 + ($2k * 1.4) - $5k) / 2 = $8.9kDep = ($120k - $8.9k) / 10 = $11.11k / yearLater batch high spec G with CEVS $10kPrice = $120kOMV = $22kCEVS = $10kRebate = ($20 + ($2k * 1.4) - $10k) / 2 = $6.4kDep = ($120k - $6.4k) / 10 = $11.36k / year Lower spec G with CEVS $10kPrice = $117kOMV = $20kCEVS = $10kRebate = ($20 + $10k) / 2 = $5kDep = ($117k - $5k) / 10 = $11.2k / year As you can see, the depreciation is between $11-12k/year. Difference is about $600/year between the lowest and highest depreciation. Note: The calculation is purely on the consumer end to get the depreciation. I am not sure how it is at dealer end but I don't think they get anything other than an indication of the CEVS from LTA for pricing purposes. ADDING BANK LOAN INTEREST INTO THE MIX Let say you take the hybrid car from 1st batch with deprecation of $11.47k/year and you are taking a 50% loan at 2.28% interest.Loan = $60kInterest = 2.28%Period = 5 years (60 mths)Interest per = $60k * 0.0228 = $1.368k / yearSo "actual depreciation" for you will be $11.47k + $1.368k = $12.838k / year.Now, the interest rates seems to have headed north to 2.78%.Same loan with previous interest of 2.28%Interest per = $60k * 0.0228 = $1.368k / yearTotal Interest in 5 years = $1.368k * 5 = $6.48kMonthly Installment = ($60k + $6.48k) / 60 = $1.114k / mthSame loan with new interest of 2.78%Interest per = $60k * 0.0278 = $1.668k / year [diff of $300 from above]Total Interest in 5 years = $1.668k * 5 = $8.34k [diff of $1.86k]Monthly Installment = ($60k + $8.34k) / 60 = $1.139k / mth [diff of $25] In terms of affordability, this increase in interest is just add a mere $25 per month. However, when you total up the interest, it's quite sizable at $1.86k difference over 5 years. WHAT ABOUT RUNNING COST LEH?Using some ballpark assumptions ...Road Tax = $654 / year Assuming Auto Insurance with 20-30% NCD = $1,200 / yearAssuming 1 pump of 35L per week @ $2.2/L = (35 * 2.2) * 52 = $4,004 / yearAssuming HDB season parking open air at home = $65 * 12 = $780 / yearAssuming office season parking @ $180/mth = $180* 12 = $2160/ yearAssuming random ERP charges @ $5/day on average = $5 * 365 = $1825 / yearAssuming random parking @ $5/day on average = $5 * 365 = $1825 / year Assuming workshop maintenance = $500 / year Assuming wear-and-tear replacements = $500 / year (on average since they are at later part of the ownership) Accessiors/Mods/Poisons = ???? :PTotal running cost in a year = $13.448kActual deprecation = $11.47k(car) + $1.368k(loan) + $13.448k(running) = $26.286k / year = $2.191k / mth As you can see, running cost is a BIG part of owning a vehicle :) SO CAN I AFFORD IT??Asumming we get a hybrid at $120k, with $60k bank loan at 2.28% and all the above assumptions in the running cost. These are the $$$ you need to fork out or set aside.1-5 yearsDownpayment = $60kPayment or to set aside (i.e. wear-n-tear replacements) = ($1.114k * 12) [loan installment] + $13.448k [running cost] = $26.816k / year = $2,235 / mth6-10 yearsPayment or to set aside (i.e. wear-n-tear replacements) = $13.448k / year [running cost] = $1,121 / mth Hope this helps potential buyers to "grow" our Sienta community Edited November 29, 2015 by Limweeli 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahsiong Neutral Newbie December 7, 2015 Share December 7, 2015 Just came across this forum here in MCF and glad to know that some have taken delivery of their new Sienta. Also got to know that there is a new facebook for Sienta.

EddieTan_144369 2nd Gear December 26, 2015 Share December 26, 2015 Hi, I'm looking for a small size MPV hence looking at Sienta. However, notice it doesn't have 2nd and 3rd row air-con. Is this going to be an issue especially for 3rd row? Any bro with Sienta can advise? Seems like for small size MPV, only Avanza and Mobilio have roof mounted aircon for 2nd and 3rd row. However, the styling and build quality cannot justify its price for both. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
