Hi, brothers and sisters.. This is the first post. I am looking to change my ride to a latio sedan.
but is it too late to buy now as new model is coming?
I asked a SE about the price of latio sedan, i was quoted $53500.
Freebies are as follows:-
1)Bodykit (-$500 if opted out)
2)leather seat
3)sport rim
4)solar film
5)free 2.5yr svc
Is it a good deal? tried to ask for more discount but SE say will eat into the commission.
hope to join the latio family. :D

Welcome to TLC.
Since the SE quoted you for 07 model, it is still not too late.
It's your choice to take the pre-facelift with discount or wait for new one w/o discount.
I took the pre-facelift because of the discount offered, else I would opt for other brand. ;D
-
Just something to bear in mind - TCM clearing their current stock of Latios to make way for new model so the prices now are very attractive. This is why i chose to buy my Latio now & i am loving every moment driving it!
However, it also means the colours available is also limited due to very limited stocks. So this is something to bear in mind. So you have to weigh the pros & cons of getting current model now with limited choice of colours or waiting longer to get new model.
As for prices, TCM say new model will cost more. But the way the world economy is going now, who knows what will happen in a few months, right? Even my SE admits that when the new model is launched and if sales are bad, there's a good chance that TCM will be forced to reduce prices or throw in freebies.

Welcome, welcome :thumbsup:
If you get sedan, it should be manufacture in 2007 and sport should be manufacture in 2008. Cos my Premium Sport is a 2008, engine layout abit diff from the 2007 batch.
-
ya, the limited colors are black,white,siler and red.
only black and white comes in black interior.
all in silver trim. :( actually i wanted wood trim.
So what else can i ask from the SE? :devil2:
-
How different is the layout?
Can share a picture of your engine here?

I'm also happy with the drive and minimal road noise, good legroom and climatic air-con...;))

I know the test drive units and show room units are still available for premium models.

No difference, they do not store their stocks at the showroom location.
-
Btw....r the showroom models ok..I mean...if got good discount.
-
My friend say $500 off for showroom models.
-
My SE tells me it's $1000 off test drive models. Not advisable coz test drive units tend to be red-lined by many people. :devil2:
-
I checked one out today....got abt 130Km milleage.... condition is v nice...how...any advise guys
-
i just got my last week.
it's a black latio
-

Mileage of 130km for test drive unit is very low.
But if the discount is less than $1,000, then it is not so worth it.
I thought Tan Chong usually waits for their test drive units to reach at least 500km before they sell it.

I got abt 1.5K discount for tat unit...my SE said she reserved it...but I not getting that....changed to a 4AT model...

Latio 4A/T test drive unit is still avail.
Silver colour unit with beige leather interior.

I always drive test drive vehicle till red-line. That time, i test drive the Mit Lan Ex 1.5 push the engine so hard that passer-by look at me.

:yehyeh:
My FC is around 12 - 12.5 litre (50% city and 50% highway) after many tanks. Current mileage is arond 6500 km got it in may 08.
What is usage pattern for your 13.8 km/l ah?
Rgds
-
6500km in less than 3 months? :blink: That is quite high mileage.
I noticed that Latio consumes most petrol during cold start in the morning when tachometer reads 1800rpm at idle in neutral.
I can practically see my fuel tank needle drop :glare:
To get maximum mileage out of your tank of petrol -
1. Remove spare tyre. Keep a can of tyre sealant on stand by
2. Remove all junk in your boot
3. Pump your tyre presure up to 230KPa
4. Try not to turn on your air con where possible
5. Pump cost efficient 95RON petrol
6. Be as light on the accelerator as possible. Imagine that your foot is stepping on an egg
7. Go for regular maintenance service
8. Clean your car of dirt to reduce drag
9. Go on a diet and lose weight so that your Latio carries a lighter load ;D
10. Don't drive up to the highest level of your multi-storey car park to park your Latio just to avoid those scratches and dents. Might not be fool proof
11. Any more to add?

-

Body kit actually costs an extra $500.
So selling price of Latio with bodykit is $53,500.
Deduct $500 if you opt out of bodykit, but it seems that lately, Tan Chong has been giving out the body kit for free.
$53,000 selling price now comes with body kit.

KNS, my times was DS3 bodykit cost $1000 and upgrade sport rim plus leather seat cost $500. :(
-
That was when DS3 body kit was first launched.
Things usualy cost more during launch and prices will drop at its end of life cycle.
I bet you that the facelifted Latio price will drop to the current prefacelift Latio price of $53,000 in 2010 (if COE remains at current levels) when the completely new model Latio is launched.
-
KNS, my times was DS3 bodykit cost $1000 and upgrade sport rim plus leather seat cost $500. :(
wow... that cost about $1500 in total le..
-

the SE should be able to throw in floor mats + window visors too. :thumbsup:
-

-

Guess my deal not so good. need to pay $480 for arm rest.. :nonod:

ya.. i told the SE to order it.. :( :( :( so how you get it for free??
-
The arm rest is supplied by a 3rd party supplier to Tan Chong.
Of course Tan Chong has to make money too.
See the high mark up price. :blink:
-
ya.. i told the SE to order it.. :( :( :( so how you get it for free??
There are 2 cup holders in between the 2 front seats.
A hole will be drilled into one of these cup holders and the arm rest will be screwed down to it.
You have to check the workmanship to see if it is properly fastened, and make sure that the arm rest does not rattle when you drive, as I don't think Tan Chong will entertain your claims for rattling noise if it comes from the arm rest as this is after market accessory.
-
Guess my deal not so good. need to pay $480 for arm rest.. :nonod:
My interior is beige le.. the $80 only come in black. :(
The arm rest comes in beige as well. Just have to order in advance.
You can check with your SE if you can cancel your order for the $480 armrest since your COE is not even secured yet and they have not even installed it in your Latio which is now still sitting in the warehouse.
Should not have any problems in cancelling your order.
Save $400 can pump 5 full tanks of petrol or pay for 4 months' HDB season parking. :thumbsup:
-
How does the arm rest look like? is it the same as the premium set?
-
It looks exactly the same to me.

So you paid $53,300 nett?
That means your price before the $500 'Nissan Owner' discount is $53,800?
Seems quite expensive, as some people here have paid only $53,000 (no 'Nissan Owner' discount) for 4A/T and got free leather seats, sports rims, DS3 body kit, window tinting, fog lamps and window tinting.
-
ya.. i told the SE to order it.. :( :( :( so how you get it for free??
Cos me n my fren got the car together, thus bargained for it....we paid 53.3k....not really that good deal rite...since u got it for 53K nett...anyway...if urs can be cancelled...might as well do it..since $80 can get liao.....the more we discuss the freebies..the more sian u might become....I dun even have foglight.... :nonod:

-
They are trying to clear stocks of their old pre facelift model.
It is normal practise to give more freebies to entice the customer to bite, in order for them to get rid of their 1 yr old stocks sitting idle in the warehouse.
If these 1 yr old stocks cannot be cleared, they will even suffer more losses in having to give more discounts later.
Look at those *YOM2006 Honda Accords still sitting in the warehouse and the HUGE discounts Kah Motors is giving to clear these old stocks. Makes these Accords an even better deal than the Cefiro or Teana. These Accords come with 5 speed auto, unlike the Cefiro / Teana's outdated 4 speed auto.
*YOM = Year Of manufacture

So did you and your friend get your COEs?
I think very high chance you got your COE as it dropped to $12,501.
Only thing is that those who got COE this time round lose out in terms of having a lower car value as their COE is $12,501, compared to someone who secured their COE at the June 1st bidding who got their COE at $15.500+ and paid same price for Latio.
Overnight lost $3,000 in COE value. But that's life in buying a car in S'pore.
Just enjoy your new ride and congrats! ;D

Ya. i just know the COE drop.. quite sad le.. order too early.. (my SE told me to hurry cos COE going to raise.. :( :( :( )

Must take lesson on "Bargaining Power" ....
-
Ya. i just know the COE drop.. quite sad le.. order too early.. (my SE told me to hurry cos COE going to raise.. :( :( :( )
My SE also told me COE going to raise, and after I ordered, COE also dropped.
All sales people will telll you the same story and pressure you to buy.
Next thing your SE will tell you is to "hurry to buy as COE quota from September is going to be reduced, so COE will shoot up."
You think COE prices will shoot up when jobless rate is at its peak, share prices are at rock bottom, and recession is coming very soon in the next few months? :nonod:
-
Sad.. feel like cheated.. :( :( :( guess just enjoy the ride and forget about it..
hopefully end of the month can collect my ride.

Pre facelift Latio prices dropped by $1,000.
It's now only $52,000. :excl:
Imagine what I could have done with $1,000.
When I went to view Latio, my SE told me very limited stocks left for YOM2007 stocks, but now still left so many stocks left even after 2 months. :confused1:
SE also told me COE prices will go up as quote will be reduced in September.
But COE prices kept a downward trend since I booked my Latio.
SE words cannot believe. :nonod:
-
Hi all,
Just joined this forum not long ago as I'm considering Nissan Latio.
According to LTA website (http://app.lta.gov.sg/corp_press_content.asp?start=1898), "The next mid-quota year review to adjust the COE quota will be conducted in October 2008, so as to better meet demand for replacement of vehicles that are de-registered during the calendar year and minimise the adjustment factor that has to be made to the following year
