COE Bidding

[htfreak]

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.

Hard copy price list.  Had to drop by my dealer at Leng Kee yesterday to pass him some documents and picked up the latest pricelist at the same time.  COE rebate has been set at 6k for this round.

Wow... looking at it, it would prolly means those booked at the low prices will most likely asked to top up or else not COE.  If the pricing remain, wonder wats the price for the new Honda City. Will switch camp if after 5 more bids no COE, cos price is no longer competitive.

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

Yeh, i forsake the $1.5k instalment privilledge, and pay extra $200 for full payment, also forsake the bodykit. That is why total i paid 49.2k. IT is a good buy.

Strange, wouldn't it be better if you took the minimum loan amount and period, i.e. 1 year loan on $30000?  1.99% is only $597 .

i.e. in total you would have paid $48097, inlcuding interest.

Hmmm,.... Come to think of it, ya hor.. I never think of that.

I was thinking in my mind that TCM is out to suck me dry out of my loan. ********.... Never think of that.

THanks Buddy for correcting me.

I believe its a common practice among buyers to take min. loan and min.repayment period to enjoy all the discount. At the end of the day, u are stil paying less in total than when u are paying full.

With the going rate for the premium at 51k with the loan discount, I still don't understand how you ended up with 49.2k. 

No loan              = 51 + 1.5k = 52.5k
Less 1k body kit  = 51.5k
Less $500 NAC    = 51k
Add $200           = 51.2k

Hence, there is an unaccounted 2k amount somewhere..

bro, calculation abit off...$30K at 1.99% for 1 yr would be $2550/mth.
total paid would be $30597.
Car without loan is $49200
with loan minus $1.5K
if u get inhouse insurance minus $500
it would be $47200-$30000= $17200 (downpayment)
$30597 + 17200 = $47797

u would have paid $47797 with loans.

HOw much do you traded your sunny? My sunny ex, auto, was purchased on Aug 2004, traded in for abt 28k

[alghojo]

serious bro....mine manual may 2006.....23K only

I believe you probably paid $65,000 for your Sunny in Aug 2004.

You lost $37,000 for 52 months usage which works out to $8,500 a year in depreciation.

With your OMV at $12,000, you stand to depreciate only $310 a month or $3,700 a year for the remaining lifespan of your Sunny.

Isn't it more worth it to continue using your Sunny?

it is of course the most sensible thing to drive ur car for 10yrs.
but it is always the temptation of having a newer, bigger & latest car that overun our senses.

Hi everyone, I'm a new member here.
I just got the COE (17 Dec) for my latio 4AT.
But now still have not gotten the car 
Usually how long does it take for the car to be delivered? TCM very inefficient leh...

i was told by my se that i shld b collecting my car in 3 jan.
think TCM will tried to register all the cars that got their COE (17 Dec) before yr end.
this will boast their sales number for yr 08 .

Hi! i think it's normal for TCM to take abt 10-14 days to deliver your car after getting yr COE. i had to wait abt 2 weeks when i kanna my COE in early July. Enjoy yr new ride!
