Hi Rooney, thank i believe u get ur bid this 17th Dec. I bought Pearl White.. i dont have a choice to chose as it was the only last exisiting stock TCM holds.

Hey 1st timer, u got yourself a Latio Premium Sport Pearl WHite? I wanted and insisted on that color but it was sold out on that first Saturday afternoon where COE hits $2, so in the end i got silver. I went TCM at 230pm, but finally decided to buy at 530pm. When and what time you got yours?

They left silver, red(last piece), grey and black at that time i bought. How come TCM told u that tat is the last existing stock?

Hi tchekchuan, i bought on 29 Nov 08, Sat in the evening around 5pm.. eh I managed to get Pearl White is because that car is not listed in the system. My SE told me that It is susposed to be sold out.. just that that previous buyer last min. forfeit it and not sold and was not key back into the system for selling.

Not many SE knew abt this existing stock, just happen my SE found out and thus was sold to me.

Good for you bro... Really sad to miss out the Pearl White.. Latio Sport looks extremely elegant with Pearl White. To me, only Pearl White and Blue are the nicest among all colors in Latio Sports.

DId you get the body kit?

Correction, those Tan Chong SE you met are all liars.

It seems that majority of them are 'liars' then.

2 of my colleagues were also keen in Latio at that time. We called  several SEs from the different branches to check and all said the same  thing, that Facelift Latio will cost at least $10,000 more than pre facelift.

But then I suppose that was the direction Tan Chong Management gave them. So actually can't blame the SEs. And as sales people, they would be desperate to hit their quota, so they would go all out to close as many deals as they could.

I heard that there is change of management inside Tan Chong and it's a little messy inside there.

During the time I collecting my car, my SE told me that FL model will be in soon and it going to be a 3-5K price diff then the Fre-FL and that was during month of Mar 08.

My SE told me the new import stock that going to come from Japan will have a increase of S$4k.

Chim sentence.

Anyway, most SE is still quite truthful in the sense that, if they lie, what is good for them, bottomline is this is their rice bowl.

I was told about the $10,000 price difference in May 08.

Maybe they were trying hard to clear YOM2007 stocks, and wanted to entice buyers to commit to YOM2007 stocks.

Haha...no chim, no chim cos so far my SE been very honest to me everytime I purchase a car from her it always like a open book deal, even friends that I recommended was given a good deal and become her repeat customers.

Could be, very possible but then again, this also show how truthful or your relationship u n your SE have.

Always trust only 50% from salesman talk. Even if the salesman bui zun later, then you will not be so upset because you listen half only.

Just got the latest price list.  Latio Sport base now going for 57,500 w/ free Nismo kit.  Must add 1k for Leather and Rims.  Sport Premium going for 62k liao.  No further discount at this point of time.  Dunno whether will change by this weekend but at such prices, the SE's are going to go back to swatting flies again.

wow..that 10k diff from the price we booked. 

wonder who will really go and book this wkend?

[redsox]

This is really an informative thread. I also booked a Sports base at 46k, opt out bodykit.

Seems that those who booked around 46k to 47k all have their coe bids at 3k+. Only 1 bro who bought at higher price got it this round. Another bro, tchekchuan, was the nearest as he bought sports premium at 49.2k.

[alghojo]

maybe we can include which TCM we booked from.
Me booked at BT

Sport Premium less than $50K ?  Almost the price of OPC previously. Good deal.

Hi Bro, you got the price from Nissan web page or from SE?  Previously, if you call the SE, they will quote you a price which is a few K below the published price on Nissan web page.
