Hi guys,
Would like some advice here.
Went to this website: http://ocoe.lta.gov.sg/ to check out how much TCM is bidding for my COE (had booked a latio sport last Sunday) but found out that there has been no bids under my IC number at all.
So does that mean that TCM is not bidding for me this round?

btw..though road tax is included in the car price?
wat your choice of colour?
me limited to black so as to enjoy the so callled ex-stock discount. :glare:
-
Toalson:
I'm also doubtful whether TCM will be able to secure a COE for me..hope they can without making me wait too long or having to top up..
Rooney:
So you mean u got the bodykit, leather seat n sports rim for free, i.e. you paid 47K nett?
btw i got silver color..

yup ;) 47k nett witn sport rim and leather seat (option to cash in if dun wan)...the only down pt is cannot have my fav blue. u have all t colours to chose from?
truely agree that TCM will not go all out to secure our COE since our car price are relatively low.
think they will call us to top up once our lock-in bid had been over-bided.
-
well seems like u got a pretty gd offer =)
rgd COE y not we check among ourselves how much TCM is bidding for us?

If Tan Chong bids for you, your bid may be submitted as late as the last hour, that is after 3pm on Wednesday.
Mine was submitted at 3:30PM.
-
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.
-
Clarence, thanks for the assurance. Was afraid that they might just skip bidding for me and count it as one round gone.
But what I'm curious about now is what happens if by the time they enter the bid the existing bid is already higher than what they are prepared to bid for? So they would just enter in a losing (lower) bid anyway?

I remember mine COE bidding, TCM send in at around 330pm but was outbid then they re-enter at 354pm to secure my COE.
-
Hi, anyone know what is the price for Premium Sedan and Sports for this round? Thanks.
-
I remember mine COE bidding, TCM send in at around 330pm but was outbid then they re-enter at 354pm to secure my COE.
Same case for me.
Tan Chong went in at 10 minutes before bidding closed and upped my bid by $3,000 to secure my COE.
But in my case, they wanted badly to clear YOM 2007 stocks.

No one can confirm until Tan Chong releases the new price list this Thursday, after COE results are out on Wed.

Mine wasn't about clearing the 2007 stock cos mine was like a 'privilege' to secure at the very 1st bid... :thumbsup:
-
Mine also secured at 1st bid.
Profit margin for Latio is high so Tan Chong has some margin to play with.

Mine also secured at 1st bid.

Should be ba cos I never kena from them more then 1 bid or I need to do topup to secure my ride before as this is my 4th Nissan from TCM.
-
i got 57k for my sport premium, the coe before $2 coe.
they will only start to bid like 330pm, n outbid at the very last 15min. that time u will be able to see roughly how much they bid for u.

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?
-
Guys do check, cos they had bid for me today but rather low.... as oppose to what people think it would be this round lol.

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.
-
Toalson, mind sharing how much TCM bidded for your COE?
I just checked and there's still no bid for me yet...

No bids for me yet. When did you book your car? Before or after the price increases?
-
Booked mine over the weekend before last and before the price increase. Furthermore mine was a basic sedan at 47k including the leather seats and sports rims. But trust me, my bid is definitely under cos its only abt 3K. :yehyeh:
-
so TCM bidded ard 3K for you...then what's the prevailing bid amount now?

icic...thnks for ur update..
hope they will start to enter a bid for me by tml...

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!
-
Now my turn, Latio 4AT Sport Base, with sport rim, leather seats, solar film and without nismo kit, colour reddish gold.. Booked 2 weeks ago, after all the discounts, price is close to $47K.
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)

at the time i booked the car, SE told me ex-stock cars left a few only, cars in the new shipment will be $3K higher.
-
At least some of you guys have a 3k bid put in. Mine not even see any bid yet. :mad:

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.

mine alr out-bid by others. dun noe TCM will revised the bid closer to the COE closing :pray:
btw, my bro-in-law who also booked vios during the same week have checked and BM have not lock in his bid till tis time. look like the BM are still monitoring the COE prices b4 commiting their bids.
-
Hi Rooneytoon..
how you check whether TCM bidded for you?
I just place order for exisiting stock Latio Sport P. over the weekend.. how much they are placing your min. bid? I saw a figure $4.5k in my contract not sure that the figure they bidding or not.
-

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
-
Mine also out-bidded by abt $800, not sure if TCM will up the bid.

COE price is already $4,590 now, 1 1/2 hr before bidding closes, which is not surprising considering the excessive no. of bookings over the last 2 weekends.
The bids are coming in very aggressively now, with about 20 bids coming in continuously every minute.
In the past bids, COE price started moving beyond $1 only during the last 1/2 hour.
-
Mine also out-bidded by abt $800, not sure if TCM will up the bid.
There is still time.
You can call your SE to ask his Management to up your bid, or talk to their Manager-in-charge.
-
............... very sian... my hope is gone... mine was outbid liao... die die die

will they ask u to top up?
i dun think topping up will worth it. in long run COE still will go down.
-
CCP already $6K, almost 900 bids above quota
-
somehow i got feeling TCM will give up this time round bid sia...
-
look like that to me too...
-
Haiz.. should have foreseen this situation... really manipulating the market.. 2CC above car bid is still low.. guess someone has succeded to made ppl rush to buy below 1.6CC cars....i guess for time being.. that someone will have a quick earning liaoz..
-
About half an hour to go and it has already hit $7191. First time see distributor so gan chiong.
-

BTW, for sharing purposes, my COE bid was only 3.1K
1) Vehicle Price: S$52,000
2) Nismo Body Kit *(I guess susposly to be included) / Change to 13 Disc changeable JVC player / Solar Flim / Upgrading of Wider Rear Mirror
3) TCM Bid: S$8,591
-
That means you probably bought it after the price increase of 1k. No wonder you have been given added preference over the rest of us. Is your COE rebate set at 4k?
-
mine unsuccessful. got a question.
Seems like coe will be rising for the next bidding, since i booked the car at ex-stock discounted price, will TCM ask me to top up after the 6th bidding exercise?

Eh i dont think so bahz... cause what i heard that they are been pressured by JAPAN HQ regards Singapore Sales, thus at this point of time they need to release as much vehicle as fast as they could.. I believe u will get your COE on the 17th Dec.
-

HTFreak, eh i not sure about price increase of 1k.. eh the rebate they give me is set at S$4.5k

Bro, check with u, the car u bought is exstock or new shipment ones?
-
Those who did not get your COE this time, don't worry, you still have 5 more bids to go.
I don't see why you cannot secure your COE by end February 2009.
-
From my SE, only those booked at higher price; after price increase and have ex stock got their coe. Ppl like me booked at low dicounted price didnt get it. lol. Thats why they bid so early cos not going to revise as every revision will cost them a small minimal fee. :D :D
-
i believe securing the coe within 6 bids is not the problem but whether theres a need to top up, tats a bit matters.
-
Bro, check with u, the car u bought is exstock or new shipment ones?
Bro... my is exisiting stock wor... :( i didnt manage to get my preferred color.. haiz..
-

Yalor if after 6 bids dont get, then I'll change SE and rebook. :bleh:
-
haha...well u can rebook but u probably wun be able to get back the price that you are currently being offered...
anyway..come to think of it...if need top up..then wad's the point of getting a low price since eventually we will need to top up for COE due to dealer not having enuff margin cos of the low price?
-
Bro... my is exisiting stock wor... :( i didnt manage to get my preferred color.. haiz..
Congrats bro, guess u got a new ride for Xmas. Tats wat my SE told me if can get coe today, get ride before Xmas.
-
Congrats bro, guess u got a new ride for Xmas. Tats wat my SE told me if can get coe today, get ride before Xmas.
Thank bro.. i believe u able to get the bid on this 17th Dec.. then u will be able to ride on for New Year Day.
-
So u got it alghojo?

Tats the point, so if can wait just wait and dont top up. :thumbsup: :devil2:
-

Even if your COE is secured in the next bidding ending 17 Dec, you will still get your car before New Year, as Tan Chong will want to register as many cars as possible before year end to boost their numbers.
-
HTFreak, eh i not sure about price increase of 1k.. eh the rebate they give me is set at S$4.5k
4.5k rebate means it is the increased price already. Most of us who booked early had our rebate set at 3k nia.
-

Yup tat's might be true, however if they dont get it for those who booked the ex stock. Then soon we'll see low prices again to attract ppl to book and lower prices and then asking them to top up later on/ :blink: :confused1:
-
So u got it alghojo?
Mine outbidded by $4k +...sigh...
-
4.5k rebate means it is the increased price already. Most of us who booked early had our rebate set at 3k nia.
eh htfreak .. u r refering to the COE pre-pay amount? if so i still pay at S$3,000 but dont know why in the paper they put $4,500.. i also dont know why.. i quite confusing too.
-
4.5k rebate means it is the increased price already. Most of us who booked early had our rebate set at 3k nia.
Correct mine also $3K rebate...which means my SE some how lied to me...she said price will increase by $3K once exstock depletes and must wait for new shipment but seems tat they already increase the price before the exstock depletes.
-
eh htfreak .. u r refering to the COE pre-pay amount? if so i still pay at S$3,000 but dont know why in the paper they put $4,500.. i also dont know why.. i quite confusing too.

hai...me like most of the other failed this rd :nonod:
btw, wat colour did u book?
-
eh htfreak .. u r refering to the COE pre-pay amount? if so i still pay at S$3,000 but dont know why in the paper they put $4,500.. i also dont know why.. i quite confusing too.
No, I'm referring to the COE rebate level. For example yours is set at 4500 which means if the COE dropped below this amount, TC will give you a refund. For those folks that got the $2 COE, their rebate level was set at only at 6k which meant that most of them got $5998 back. TC probably earned big that round.
-
true that tan chong earned big that round...
but in all fairness there are also times where they had to bid over and above their budgetted amount to secure COE for the bookings...
i guess in business that's the way it is...you gain some you lose some..

These Tan Chong SE are all liars.
When I was looking at pre facelift YOM 2007 Latio, I was told that once YOM2007 stocks are sold out, new facelift Latio would cost at least $10K more.
A month after YOM2007 stocks were sold out, facelift Latio was sellling at just $56K, or $3K above pre facelift YOM2007 Latio even though COE remained constant.

Kinda lahz... sometime buy car you cant listen too much to the SE about 'future stock' price, nevertheless they are still SALE PEOPLE... out to clinch deal.. always buy a car base on current spec and current ability / liabilities.. we cant really much compare with Future which is a ???...

Actually, i really sympathize with u and can understand why you are so upset. But why did u go back to them and buy a second car from them??
I've realised buying a car in Singapore is different from buying a car in other countries. Here, car prices are like the stock market coz it fluctuates up and down after every COE bidding... Almost impossible to buy at lowest price. If anyone can predict the prices, we dun need to work for a living liao. ;D
So just LL, lor... Buy a car when u really need it and you think the price is acceptable. As they say, willing buyer, willing seller... Good luck!

Hi Rooney, thank i believe u get ur bid this 17th Dec. I bought Pearl White.. i dont have a choice to chose as it was the only last exisiting stock TCM holds.
Hey 1st timer, u got yourself a Latio Premium Sport Pearl WHite? I wanted and insisted on that color but it was sold out on that first Saturday afternoon where COE hits $2, so in the end i got silver. I went TCM at 230pm, but finally decided to buy at 530pm. When and what time you got yours?
They left silver, red(last piece), grey and black at that time i bought. How come TCM told u that tat is the last existing stock?

Hi tchekchuan, i bought on 29 Nov 08, Sat in the evening around 5pm.. eh I managed to get Pearl White is because that car is not listed in the system. My SE told me that It is susposed to be sold out.. just that that previous buyer last min. forfeit it and not sold and was not key back into the system for selling.
Not many SE knew abt this existing stock, just happen my SE found out and thus was sold to me.

Good for you bro... Really sad to miss out the Pearl White.. Latio Sport looks extremely elegant with Pearl White. To me, only Pearl White and Blue are the nicest among all colors in Latio Sports.
DId you get the body kit?

Correction, those Tan Chong SE you met are all liars.
It seems that majority of them are 'liars' then.
2 of my colleagues were also keen in Latio at that time. We called several SEs from the different branches to check and all said the same thing, that Facelift Latio will cost at least $10,000 more than pre facelift.
But then I suppose that was the direction Tan Chong Management gave them. So actually can't blame the SEs. And as sales people, they would be desperate to hit their quota, so they would go all out to close as many deals as they could.
I heard that there is change of management inside Tan Chong and it's a little messy inside there.

During the time I collecting my car, my SE told me that FL model will be in soon and it going to be a 3-5K price diff then the Fre-FL and that was during month of Mar 08.

Chim sentence.
Anyway, most SE is still quite truthful in the sense that, if they lie, what is good for them, bottomline is this is their rice bowl.

I was told about the $10,000 price difference in May 08.
Maybe they were trying hard to clear YOM2007 stocks, and wanted to entice buyers to commit to YOM2007 stocks.

Haha...no chim, no chim cos so far my SE been very honest to me everytime I purchase a car from her it always like a open book deal, even friends that I recommended was given a good deal and become her repeat customers.

Could be, very possible but then again, this also show how truthful or your relationship u n your SE have.

Always trust only 50% from salesman talk. Even if the salesman bui zun later, then you will not be so upset because you listen half only.

Just got the latest price list. Latio Sport base now going for 57,500 w/ free Nismo kit. Must add 1k for Leather and Rims. Sport Premium going for 62k liao. No further discount at this point of time. Dunno whether will change by this weekend but at such prices, the SE's are going to go back to swatting flies again. ::)

wow..that 10k diff from the price we booked. :out:
wonder who will really go and book this wkend?
-
This is really an informative thread. I also booked a Sports base at 46k, opt out bodykit.
Seems that those who booked around 46k to 47k all have their coe bids at 3k+. Only 1 bro who bought at higher price got it this round. Another bro, tchekchuan, was the nearest as he bought sports premium at 49.2k.

maybe we can include which TCM we booked from.
Me booked at BT

Sport Premium less than $50K ? :w00t: Almost the price of OPC previously. Good deal.

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. :devil2: 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. :yehyeh:

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. :bleh:

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.
:crycry:
-
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.

bro, paiseh my bad...ur calculation also correct

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

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. :devil2:

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! :thumbsup:

Same situation with me. Asked my dealer over the weekend on the status and was told that they have not been informed by TC when the car will be ready yet. This is the last time I will buy a car from authorised dealers instead of going direct. :mad:

It's the principle that I'm pissed at. They were the ones insisting that the car has to be registered by year end when I first requested for an early Jan date. Now they are flip flopping on their words instead after initially rushing to collect the balance payment. Now have to cancel the various workshop appts that I have made to install the ICE and other improvement works.
