Thanks for all the valuable comments and experiences on Latio ... Is 2nd hand Latio really that bad? But a new one seems costly according to the Nissan website ... so now will have to so some homework ... Since there are still uncertainty of oil price, I am looking for a general good FC, sedan car ... not many falls under this category ... besides Latio, there are Vios and City ... so now still in a dilemma ...

Have u visited a TCM showroom to ask abt prices & packages? The prices on websites not accurate u know. You'll be surprised how much TCM has slashed their prices thanks to the economy, 7th month plus new facelifted model launching soon. Go ask. Worth yr time.  :thumbsup:

last i heard the '07 4AT ex-stock is going for $52k. if you don't want body kit it is $51k. so this is cheaper than a vios. or you can consider the lancer glx at $48k, but a bit lousier fuel economy and build. don't trust sgcarmart pricing for new cars. not accurate. i suspect the reason why it is so high because dealer need the margin to do overtrade for people.

hmm if i look at second hand price on sgcarmart now...
take this as an example:
http://www.sgcarmart.com/main/info-2ENCkAlz-1068.html

$42,100 for 2 years old car = $42,100 / 8 years left = $5262.50 / year
$52,000 for a new car = $52,000 / 10 years left = $5200.00 / year

almost the same price, but don't forget it is a brand new car... with warranty! now they are throwing in free NPMP i think, so that is 3 year free labour and parts.

and if i am not wrong, new car loan interest rate is lower.

2nd hand car can be good deal if you know how to see. best if you have friends who are mechanic. must check if the car had accident before or not but otherwise some things even the trained eye cannot see...

This is very true. Especially if the chasis is damaged. Very hard to tell by normal inspection.

Hi,
Not sure what is your needs, but can try Jazz/Fit which has good FC.
Heard that Hyndai cars has improved .... so another option for you.

ckyc:
if you die die need to buy a latio, i recommend first hand as the prices have gone down quite a bit for the new cars.
generally i feel second hand latio is overpriced( dont expect too much difference in depreciation compared to 1st hand)

go and test drive a few car first before commiting. my reason for latio is because of the beige interior (i dont like black interior) no other cars in this price range offers.
