Vincar has been around for a long while. But never bought from them.

 

Agree. I check on vincar facebook reviews, seem really good.  I went to their place at leng kee road and a young chap  (his name has also been recommended at least twice in the facebook by others) who serves me is really very nice and patient, and not pushy. I feel the most comfortable talking to him, compared to all other SE i met till now. 

 

Note that i have not purchase any car from vincar yet, so don't take my word. U still need to do your own research first on vincar.

Anyone had dealt with Emperor Motor @Autopoint at Leng Kee? Was quoted 144K for the new 2019 Merc A200 (AMG kit) with an option to include Front memory electric seats + Pano Sunroof + Merc MultiBeam headlights for an additional 8K (with 4 months waiting time). Feedback appreciated.

any experience buying from SGCARS4U? don't think they have a physical presence..

 

https://sgcars4u.com/showroom1/

No. But I did consider before. So I went to recce the address given. It was his house.

 

I met the boss so anyway I learned you can go to his house to collect the car or he drive to your place to give the car to you.

 

Seems friendly enough but did not inspire confidence so did not buy. I was looking for a manual car and he is one of the few PI who sells manual car (supposedly at least).

 

I can't imagine if I could not get the car what would I do? Go to his house to bang on door? So I did not buy.

 

Facebook also like not much activity.

 

But he does appear to have a variety of cars but of cos, it's your risk.

interesting, thks for giving your input. ya agree buy from PI ultimately is our own risk. this SGcars4u address now should be an office building at tai seng right? i check from google map. seem to have a legit co registration number and several good reviews from buyers. i was expecting better pricing than ADs, but quoted about same or only less 5% for the few models i asked....plus all the warranty and servicing risks i have to undertake....
