Oneguy 1st Gear October 29, 2015 Share October 29, 2015 What is estimated depreciation per year? i try and answer ... BMW 216D GT Price = $165,800 OMV = $25,000 (not officially known yet, so this is a figure that i am assuming) ARF Payable = $27,000 CEVS Rebate = -$10,000 Actual ARF Paid = $17,000 PARF = $8,500 (50% of Actual ARF Paid) Depreciation per year = 165000 - 8500 / 10 = $15,650 per year I paid a deposit for this car 2 weeks ago. Here is the standard equipment list: The standard equipment list is not bad considering that this is a so called 'budget' BMW. We like the 7 seats though it is quite tight in the 3rd row, but I think it is still bearable for short trips. Will make a final decision after the test drive and see if we want to go ahead with the deal. many thanks for this. did you managed to get "add-ons" to this via your SC? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No add-ons from SC, will discuss on that and also the trade in price for my current car if we are confirming the car after the test drive. I placed a deposit because: - it's fully refundable - if you book early, you get to choose your preferred colour (exterior & interior) - we need a 7 seater and somehow this car suits our requirements - good equipment list IMHO Anyway, let's see how the car drives first :) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tks I think standard 3yrs warranty. servicing charge by PML for EO change is around $200+ unless need to change other things (can always do outside...don't say I say one) they provide nice coffee 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But on a seperate note, why get this if you can get a full size MPV at just a few $K more? Odyssey 2.4 & Sharan 2.0T emgine spec and interior space will win the 2GT hand down...

You won't get the $7000 overtrade if you don't trade in your car to them. I will see what price they offer for my car and make a decision then. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Friend who also put a deposit down told me otherwise but then again sometimes these SEs tell diff stories eg his SE said the active tourer diesel version not available for booking yet but another SE said it is!! Anyway, do check the market price n see whether they quote you fairly or not, good luck!! 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never owned a Honda before, and I really don't like CVVT. Just personal preference. No VW for me as well. This will be my 4th BMW if I don't cancel the deal after the test drive, I'm happy with them so far, and I don't need a full size MPV daily. And this 216d GT seems to suits our requirements You sure on this? Friend who also put a deposit down told me otherwise but then again sometimes these SEs tell diff stories eg his SE said the active tourer diesel version not available for booking yet but another SE said it is!! Anyway, do check the market price n see whether they quote you fairly or not, good luck!! $7000 overtrade means they buy your car at $7000 more than the 'market price' of you car. So you can't have the overtrade if you don't sell your car to them. But if the SE is desperate, maybe he will find other ways to pass this discount to you, I think. Anyway it is quite troublesome (and sometimes risky) to sell your car to another dealer. If the difference is not too big, I will just negotiate with my SE and trade in to them. Been doing this for all my past cars. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spring Moderator October 30, 2015 Share October 30, 2015 OMV = $25,000 (not officially known yet, so this is a figure that i am assuming) The petrol active tourer luxury version OMV is $28.6k so my guess is definitely above $30k as well even though it's diesel. 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The luxury model cost about £27K in UK, while the luxury model of the VW Sharan cost about £37K. With the Sharan costing only a few thousand more in Singapore. I think the BMW is overprice or there is too much profit margin. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
