Hi I booked Latio Basic thsi month, non-guranteed COE. (no top up)
Do keep one another updated for bdding results. let's share.
-
So now what is the amount u pay for since COE got such a big dropped?
-
54500 basic model, auto :smile:
-
It is so unpredictable. Nobody expected COE to drop from close to 17K to just 11K over such a short period where just couple of weeks ago, SE keeps asking customers to top-up and say price will keep increasing in the near future.
-
Looks like the sub prime in the US is affecting us in some way. With the high inflation, high cost of business and high oil prices, think there will be a slow drop of COE prices in the months to come with more Singaporeans going broke just to feed the family.
Think expenses will go up another 10 to 20% by year end for the family man. Your electrical bill is going up and with the heat during this period, it's going to be high.

You are right man! I do feel the difference in monthly expenses this time round for items like household expenses, children's expenses, not to mention petrol bills and what not. Seems to be worse than the Financial and SARS crises.

Hi Bro, is yours also a basic model? Bro spiff pays 54.5K for a basic model. Did you get the 2.5 years NPMP freebies from TCM only or like those bros/sis who got more freebies during the CNY promotion period?

The free 2.5 years maintenance thingy that are given by TCM since couple of weeks ago. It is called something like "Nissan Preventive Maintenance Package".

This seem like a good deal. :D
-
Hi bro,
Yes, It comes with free maintenace programme.
I would like to find out if do do not top up, what are the chances of geeting car if COE goes up.
-

The only thing that is certain in this world is "uncertainty". Your guess is as good as anyone else's guess. To top-up or not depends on:
(a) how much you like the car (is it the case of die die also must want?)
(b) your risk appetite
(c) how urgent you need the car (i.e. are you changing car where you can afford to wait or is this your first purchase?)

Oh yes bro. Mine is a basic model but got the following from my SE
a) 20000km free Serv
b) Bodykit
c) UV film
d) Arm rest
e) Fog Lamp
f) CNY Ang Pao Package

With the CNY Ang Pao Package (which includes free insurance, free road tax for 12 months, etc), I think your deal is just as good! (I understand that the 2.5 years free servicing can get a discount of about $800 if one opts out. This is less than the CNY package.)
BTW, items (a), (b) and (f) are from TCM, not SE. If you opt out item (b), think will get $500 rebate.

Oh i got item (b) but my SE still give me additional $500 rebate for my Bodykit

woah u ppl out there got quite a good deal man~!!!....mine got it during dec also not so much goodies... :crycry: :crycry:

Think the $500 rebate is from your SE as a "special discount'. Not uncommon to get some discount from SE. Seems like the norm is $500 discount from the SE unless you ask for alot more freebies then the SE may offer you <$500 special discount. (When I first shop around for the car, I checked with different SE, one gave more freebies plus $300 special discount and the other one gives $500 rebate plus less freebies. It is a zero sum game. Not sure if TCM had built in this $500 special discount thingy to make customers feel good. Naturally that ppl will feel good if they get fee stuff. Chinese saying "sheep fur comes from sheep body". That is, we customers are giving freebies to ourselves. Haha) The $500 got nothing to do with the bodykit. If you opt out of the kit, you should get another $500 rebate from TCM (not SE). This is printed on the flyer.

Hi Jazz, when did you book your car?
The free DS3 bodykit promotion for Latio started some time end of 2007 till now. People who booked their cars before this free promotion period pay more than $500 because TCM got to make a profit ma. Just an analogy, if their cost is about $500, hence the rebate for opting out is $500. If you buy from them, they have to add in profit margin. Hence, got to pay >$500 lor.

Think free DS3 bodykit promotion now is only for Latio Sedan not the Sport model...

Hi BlackLatio, in that case, let say if (...if only hor) you tell your SE that you don't want the BK, will she give you more cash discount since it is from her? If the answer is still "No", this means she smoke lor.

Maybe wat u say is true. But not important anymore as the whole transaction has closed. Btw she knew that i was very keen on the bk bcos that is the 1st item i requested.

I booked my car just before Christmas 2007, and get my car on 5th Jan'2008, it a ex-stock.
I trade in my trip to Japan or Korea (can't remember) for $1500 rebate. Use $1000 for DS3 bodykit and $500 for upgrade of rims and leather seats. Mine is Sedan basic. :(

I remembered in Dec 2007, I was at IMM and Nissan had its roadshow there. The SE told me that Latio comes with free DS3 plus Japan trip at the Road Show Special Promotion. I also asked him about opting out of the Japan trip and think he also said the rebate was $1500. That was when my OC sat in a Latio and said "Can consider leh". But I didn't book till early Feb 2008 because the previous car loan lock-in period not over yet then.

To be frank, I have no intention of getting a Latio in the first place, was at Ubi showroom looking for Vios, it was my friend that really keen in buying a ride, so we move to Nissan and he hooked to the Latio, the SE mentioned if we both buy together considered bulk purchase, additional $500 discount, so we just sign the paper without even test drive !!

whahaha..me 2 not consider latio coz it din look nice frontal, sport A** is nice for me tho, but at least i test drive. u no test drive but car, very hiong man! :thumbsup:
Me also din like the boxy look when it was first launched. After some time with so many of them on the road, had accepted the look (as it is a matter of preference). To me, the first attraction is the spaciousness as my children are growing up and they find the previous car's back seat legroom squeezy.
-
yea when i saw this car, i was with my dad in the showroom. Havin 2 brothers, we need a bigger car coz end of day all of us gona grow into adult size. Was deciding over sunny and latio, and luckily i insisted in latio and got it =P

When I first look, sport version attracted me, but no boot space. But before that, I already read alot of good reviews about Latio and drivers commented about it, so I have trust it without test drive. :D

-
Hi Mowen,

why standard and not premium models?
BTW, checked with BT branch, if get car manufacturing in last year DEC, have 1k discount but limited based on the color left over. so is about 55K.
If want the color that was no stock made in Dec, then has to top up.

Hi all,
New to the Latio club, my missus and I just bought a Latio standard sedan today too. OPC, 37.2k including the following thrown in:
1. Latio premium package (leather seats and sports rim)
2. Free service 2.5 yrs
3. Solarfilm
4. Door visor
5. Rubber mats
6. Vanity mirrors for sunshade
I'm also wondering why standard and not premium? I'm currently having second thoughts and considering upgrading to premium model, because I like the CVT transmission over standard A/T transmission - but this will mean topping up ~3k...any opinions on this forum?
p.s. Also did not intend to buy Latio initially was only checking out Nissan showroom for fun (after visiting others like Honda, in Jalan Ubi) - but the space and test drive won me over! :D
-
anyone any good SE to PM me?

I had owned and driver many cars >10. Latio is value for $$$ and shared the same platform with the Renault Clio. Take a look at the new Honda Jazz 2008 and compare. Btw, if possible go for the bodykits or at least the lip spoiler. The car looks nice with these, otherwise look bare. Tried to squeeze your SE for the arm-rest if you are going for the 4AT model. If not, tried to negotiate for the arm-rest at say $200. Till now, I still regretted not getting the original arm-rest which costs $500 then, should be cheaper now.

I was told by the SE that I will get the discout about 4K from Nissan and 1K more discount if I selected the stock that was manufacturing in 2007 Dec, of course provided the color are available.
Any big issues found in this batch manufacturing in Dec 07?
-
I am one of those who booked the discounted 2007 latio, to me it is very good value for money as it is a true Japanese made car. The ride changed my impression of the car, it was very continental feeling driving it and best of all, the engine was very silent, insulation is indeed superb. Btw I test drove many cars and still fell in love with the latio. :)
-
The car I booked was a Dec 2007 model too, from TCM in Ubi. They were giving a 5.5k discount on this batch, and an additional 2k discount if we use their in-house financing and insurance. The SE that dealt with me is Candie Tan, she was very willing to throw in lots of freebies.
-
Hurray, COE went up and I still got my COE.
Anyone esle got their COE first bid?

Really!!.. but i remeber during booking time my SE told me about 3 weeks ler.. :crying:.. must ask again monday!
-
My SE said will take about 2 weeks to do all the necessary paperwork (chassis registration, etc). Wonder if it can be quicker...
-
congrats! i'm quite surprised that TCM can bid so high (more than 4k increase of coe). really a good deal! i booked mine just before cny this year. although the coe is almost the same as the previous, many of us still lost the bid. don't understand...
-
i was told mid june too .. but guess they usually give us a longer date so there is no pressure on them ... SE also say won't get COE first time but also get . so let us happy when give us COE and maybe deliver car before the date promise .. my friend book grand vitara also secure coe . collecting car on the 28th May . Fast right !!
I think not much people buy car .... friend monday book altis also got coe . friend book vitara also got coe . friend book forestor also got coe . i book latio also got coe .... i think coe going to crash this year ....

I just bought mine for $58k after trading in my five year old Sunny Ex earlier this month. Really lucky to have caught the $11009 COE bid this month

Anybody booked the new FL model yet? It's already June, TC have not cleared their 07 stock?
-
Those who are collecting your car next week onward note that the new revised road tax rate from july 1 start payable next monday. This mean that those who collecting from next week will lose out about $50 due to the fact that TCM pay lower road tax than those stated in your agreement. :nonod:
-

There are more than 100 SE, just go around asking who can give you the best deal, not necessary must go for the same SE. This is provided you have not done a test-drive as your Nric will be locked into the system, else go to other authorised dealer.
