not a good sign, it's a direct indication that the nation is more cautious of their disposable income, which means people are not sure where the economy is heading but my guess is South.

Should be $1.5K less, NOT $3K less.

Originally $53.5K for pre facelift Latio, but prices dropped to $52K when COE dropped in Aug 1st bidding.

Clarence, you sure the price was originally 53.5? When i booked my car in mid July, it was 54,800 then i opted out some freebies but took the 2.5yrs servicing and paid 53,500 for it....

$53.5K is after insurance and loan rebate.

Yours is 4A/T, right?

What freebies did you opt out of?

I hope you got at least leather seats, sports rims, and window tinting which is standard freebies.

Good deal you got, but now facelifted  Latio prices has crashed to $53K due to COE crash.

Had I waited, I could have got facelifted Latio at same price of $53K which I paid for my pre facelift YOM2007 Latio which had been sitting in the warehouse for 1 year.

:(

Like i said before...dun look forward for the latest price...be glad that you got yourself a relatively good car and bought more time for yourself.....i used to spend at least 4 hrs on the road on public transport to and fro work...there was no such thing as lesuire life...

besides, for a 1.5litre car and with a high body...it does pretty well when negotiating highway bend at ECP at 80kph-90kph...also, when travelling on straight road, it is pretty stable when running at 120....i would say this car is a gd buy...

Clarence, facelift Latio selling at $53K now?
Title: Re: COE drop to 9k.....
Post by: clarence on September 04, 2008, 02:07:21 PM
Sorry. Typo error. Basic Facelift Latio 4A/T now costs $52K, not $53K !!!


PRICES FOR FACE-LIFT LATIO (Cheaper than those who bought Pre Facelift YOM 2007 Latio in last few months)

Latio 1.5 4A/T Sedan Base - $52,000
Latio 1.5 CVT Sedan Premium - $55,000
Latio 1.5 4A/T Sports Base - $55,500
Latio 1.5 CVT Sports Premium - $59,500
Latio 1.5 CVT Sports Premium S/Roof - $61,500


I think prices will drop further with the lower forecast for growth in 2008 and increased forecast for inflation.

Do not be taken in by what the sales people tell you.

When I bought my Latio, I was told new facelift model will cost at least $63K (COE @ $14K then).

Then once Tan Chong cleared stocks of YOM2007 Latio, they slashed prices to $55K (COE @ $13K). Liars!!!

Now I bet you the sales people will tell you that the LTA is going to reduce COE quota next month and prices will go up for sure.

I bet you to your last dollar that LATIO will sell for below $50K in due course. Who would want to, or have money to buy new car in a recession?

Really heart breaking to lose $3,000 on purchase price of your car even before collection, and even worse, to get a low $9,000 COE when the purchase price of your car is based on a $13,000 COE.  :mad:

$3,000 is A LOT of money!!!

Tan Chong sets the rebate level really low at only $8,000.

Actually $55K for a FL is not a bad buy. Maybe you can print out this thread that somebody quoted $52K for FL only.  ::)

at first when i first heard that the COE is 9.5k, i was quite happy, firstly cos i knew i shd have successfully bidded the COE, 2ndly, i might have some rebates. haha.

Currently not impressed with our Japanese made cars also. So many problems. Compressor, steering coupling, initial batch of batteries, air con coil leakage... Just to name a few common ones.

Recently my car start to have a sound like a bad valve gasping for air. Go to TC they say its the air intake box loose. Tried to do insulation. Slightly better but not convinced leh.

Sigh.... At least the car is nice and spacious and affordable... Just question mark whether can last for 10 years or more..
