I too booked a Latio Sport Base two Saturdays back at 47k with Nismo kit, Leather & Rims, Car Mat, Windows Visor and Ultramax Solar Film.  This is after $500 NAC discount and $500 dealer discount off the Leather & Rims upgrade.  Even back then, the Pacific Blue and Pearl White was already out, settled for a Red in the end.  I'll also update here on the bidding price so that we can guage TC's tatics.

I bought mine , a latio sports premium also 2 saturday ago at $49200(no bodykits, $1000 off), full payment / no instalment (add $200), trade in my nissan sunny, $500 off, with the original seats and sports rim from latio, windows visor, solor firm. I got a silver one as it left only Red(last piece), black and grey & silver. I think silver is more ease to maintain.

So I presume you did not enjoy the $1,500 loan discount?

Interesting price.  The quoted price for the sport premium was 51k and this already includes the loan discount.  Since you mentioned that you divested the bodykit which is worth 1k, got a further 1k off and another $500 off which equates to a total of 2.5k discount.  If indeed the loan discount is 1.5k by clarence, then your final price should have been $50,200.

No bids for me yet.  When did you book your car?  Before or after the price increases?

No one can confirm until Tan Chong releases the new price list this Thursday, after COE results are out on Wed.
Thanks, Bro.  I was referring to the price for the two weeks starting from the $2 COE date (and not the price after this week's COE bidding round).  The reason for asking is that some bros here mentioned about quite a big drop.  However, when I called my previous SE last week, the price she told me was higher.  She quoted $56K for sedan premium.  But some bros mentioned getting the sedan 4AT for below $50K.  Difference for 4AT and premium should be about $3K, right? Cheers!

Already check TCM bidded yesterday for my COE at 6+ pm with reserve bid $3K +.

Bro, why the price you were quoted is higher are due to two reasons:
1. overwhelming demand (simple economics)
2. depletion of ex-stock (indent stock costs are higher due to Yen appreciation)

I doubt Cat A COE will remain so low at $3K this time round, but Tan Chong is being socially responsible in not agressively bidding a high price which will push COE prices sky high.

They will likely revise the $3K bid after the key players, Toyota and Honda (who control the COE prices) have placed their bids.

Borneo Motor usually locks in their bids at the last hour. Being the market leader, how much they bid usually determines the final COE price
