Anyone switch from a HDB to a resale pte property? Do you buy the pte property first then look to sell your HDB? Or the other way round? As for the pte property resale, does it mean that you can loan up to 90% of the price of the property? since upfront only need 1% + 4% + Stamp duty?

Dear Forummers, Apologies if there is already a thread for asking such questions, but I need some help. I am looking at purchasing a used Audi A4 1.8 L and the price quoted by the dealer is 68800. The car is a single owner car with 66K mileage on the Odo and OMV of 36,062 and COE of 43290. I am wondering if the price quoted is reasonable. I also saw a similar car quoted at 60,800 but the mileage on the ODO for the car is 107,000 so am thinking of getting the one with the lower mileage. Any help or feedback would be appreciated. Mods: Please move this thread / merge the thread in the appropriate topic if there is already a topic/thread existing on this topic. Cheers

assuming the price, design, specs & features are ok for you, what other criterias do you look for? given a 5yr/100,000km warranty against a 3yr/100,000km, is the 3yr gonna be worse off?

Anyone has lobang on where to purchase foglamp for Altis 2011?

Does anyone have any idea where I can find out how to purchase a commercial vehicle like a Kangoo? Also, been trying to find out more about the Kangoo, I need one that has rear seats. The websites seems to have very scarce information. Do you know where I can go to find out more about it (short of going to the showroom)? Thirdly, can anyone briefly tell me the differences amongst the Kangoo, Partner and Doblo? I'm tired of looking up info on them on the internet, it seems quite futile.

As above, had a cousin who used to be a salesman in the PI new sales market in turf city, He informed me that the used car that their neighbouring workshops are selling are used by the salesman themselves as personal transport till a buyer is found on the vehicle..One wonders how reliable then is the used car u are getting as what is claimed on mileage and reliability...

DRIVER'S FRUSTRATION She wants auto car but gets manual one instead # Her copy of sales contract is different from that of the dealer # She claims she paid for auto car but dealer says otherwise By Tan Mae Lynn [email protected] -- HEDY KHOO MRS L C Loke and her husband paid for a new car but for three weeks, they refused to collect it. Because they thought were buying an auto-transmission model but ended up with a manual one instead. Mrs Loke, who got her driver's licence in Canada, cannot drive a manual car. The 31-year-old said: 'I cannot drive a manual, why would I get manual car? 'From the start we intended to buy an auto. I've never driven in a manual car before, I got my driver's licence in Canada. My lessons and driving test were all in an auto car.' So how did she end up with a car she cannot drive? And why is her copy of the sales contract different from the car dealer's? The dealer who sold her the Kia Cerato Sedan for $56,499 could not explain the discrepancy to The New Paper. The newly-married medical executive and her engineer husband, had gone to the dealer, test-drove an auto-car and paid. So imagine their shock when they went to collect their car earlier this month and found that it had manual transmission. The Lokes at first refused to accept the car. Mrs Loke said: 'Why should I accept the car? I cannot drive it.' But she is stuck with it. Cycle and Carriage (C&C), which handles the sales of Kia cars here, told The New Paper that the $56,499 paid by the couple was the price of the manual-transmission model. A check on the Kia Motors Singapore website indicates the current price of a Kia Cerato Sedan 1.6 Auto as $56,499. But Mr Thomas Lim, sales manager at the C&C Fulco branch, pointed out that the Lokes bought the car in December and there were fluctuations in COE prices. He added that the advertised prices of cars do not include insurance and finance charges. 'We also indicate in the ads there are terms and conditions,' he said. 'If consumers do not want financing or the one year insurance, then we will sell at exactly the price advertised.' But he could not explain the difference in the contract. The Lokes signed the deal on Dec 5. They were given a photocopy of the sales contract. The couple's photocopied version of the handwritten contract simply states the car model as 'Kia Cerato Sedan 1.6', but Mr Lim said his copy has it as 'Kia Cerato Sedan 1.6 M'. The 'M' stands for manual transmission. Mrs Loke said: 'There is no letter next to the car model indicated on our copy of the contract.' Mr Lim acknowledged: 'Her photocopied contract was without an 'M', but the price that we sold as stated in the contract is actually a manual model. 'There may have been a misunderstanding between parties.' Mrs Loke complained: 'We paid that amount of money thinking we were going to get an auto car... When we saw the manual car, we were even willing to top up money to get an auto car but the dealer told us they couldn't do anything about it since the car had been registered.' Now she can only scrap the car or resell it if she doesn't want it. Mr Lim said everything is explained to customers before they buy a car. He added that the salesman who assisted the Lokes had duly explained the process. Mrs Loke agreed that the insurance charges and financing were explained to them, but insisted that the salesman never told them that the price that they were paying was for a manual car. LTA APPEAL Mrs Loke later asked the dealer to appeal to the Land Transport Authority (LTA) to have the car registration cancelled. But their appeal was rejected. (See other report.) Mrs Loke admitted that she and her husband, being first-time buyers, only checked the car model but did not check for other details in the sales contract. On the mix-up, Mr Lim said: 'Yes, we accept partial responsibility. But as a buyer, you must also be aware of what you're buying.' For three weeks, the couple refused to accept the car. They finally relented and collected the car on Jan 25 because her husband felt it was a matter of 'cutting losses', since the car has been registered and instalment payments had to be made. COMPENSATION FROM C&C As a goodwill gesture, Mr Lim said they have given the couple some compensation to resolve the dispute amicably. The compensation package includes one-month instalment on the loan worth $550, car accessories worth $950, one full tank of petrol and $200 in cash. Mr Lim said: 'It's something that she and the sales representative have agreed on. We tried to be fair and she has accepted the package.' As for Mrs Loke, she said it was fortunate that her husband is able to drive a manual car. She said: 'The plan was for us to drive to work, he'd get off first since he works close to our home and then I'd drive to work. We are planning to start a family next year, and the car is meant for me to shuttle around for the family. Now I have a car that I cannot even drive. It's been a very expensive lesson.'
