Here again, for those not successful on the 3rd, lets see how much our SE bid this time round.
-
Most of the COEs will be grabbed by Kah Motors and Borneo Motors.
The total number of Toyotas sold as at Nov 2008 is just 80 cars behind Honda.
I bet there will be very aggressive bidding by Borneo to take top place. Otherwise they may have some answering to do to Toyota's Japan head office.
-
i just checked mine..no bids yet
-
Same no bids yet. Dont think they will bid today. Maybe tomorrow then stop and suspect will be another low bid cos booked at too low a price. :yehyeh:

totally agree that Borneo will do anything to take top place. My bro-in-law who booked his Vios (G) after the COE crash to $2 got his COE on the last round. Moreover, Borneo never even enter bid for him and straight away give him a open-cat COE. Guess what... the open-cat COE is ard $10500 when the Cat A COE is ard $10400. Now is his enjoying his new ride :cool2: .
I doubt TCM will be so good to give us (booked aft COE $2) this type of offer.

Tan Chong will likely place their bid for you an hour or two before bidding closes on Wednesday.

Did you know that for those who book Altis now, the earliest that they can get their car is March 2009?
Reason?
No COEs to register the cars.
This gives you an idea of how many bookings Borneo Motors have on hand.
Tan Chong will never have the kind of bidding power that Borneo has.

Tats why I feel that those like myself would not get COE unless top up. :yehyeh:
-

Not true, cos last round they bid early early and never top up. Got feeling that they will ask all to top up.
-
Any bros got experience before TCM asking for top ups?
-
Not true, cos last round they bid early early and never top up. Got feeling that they will ask all to top up.
dun listen to all t SE asking for top up. jus checked from one-motoring website that the cost price of latio sprt base is ard $36k. so TCM still earn $3K even if they bid the COE at $8k for us on the next rd (i booked at $47K)
it only depend how much profit TCM wan to gain from us :devil2:
-
well true but if we don't top up, and by end of 6 rounds of bidding they can simply just return us the deposit..and then sell the car at a much higher price n margin now..esp with the yen appreciation..our current booked stock is the old inventory when the costs werent so high yet..
so it wld make sense for TCM to "let go" of these few low margin deals instead, assuming that they arent hardup for sales numbers..
im quite curious myself too..any old birds here heard of or experienced TCM, or any other ADs request for top ups from customers?
-
If u guys follow some of the older threads there were cases that only those who top up or booked at higher price got their cars. And most of those got theirs after 6 bids and only after they top up. :yehyeh:
-
if a request for top up really comes...then i really wonder why do the ADs even price their vehicles so low whereby they cant confidently secure a COE..
i cant feeling being scammed if that's the case..like..advertise low prices..get all the bookings in...then force the customers to top up, otherwise no cars...
-
It can happen and it had happened before. So those desperate will top up. If not wait and try again but oso at higher price. Guess most of those waiting had booked the ex-stock YOM 2008. :yehyeh:
-
im quite curious myself too..any old birds here heard of or experienced TCM, or any other ADs request for top ups from customers?
I booked a Mazda 3 SP at the lowest offered price after the Category A COE crashed in February 2007 post-Chinese New Year. MM failed to secure a COE for me and the SE asked me to top up $2K. I refused and got the deposit back after the 4th and final attempt.
So far, TCM has not failed me yet ... I am driving my second Nissan car with the third one coming in January 2009.
skxly
Visit my blog http://SingaporeMotoring.blogspot.com/
Update Dec 16 - I want to clarify that I have bidded for my own COE so TCM was not involved for the third car.
-
Not like the previous round, where SE bid for me a day before bidding ends. Till now still no bid.
-
So then when they will secure the bid for me?
:scared:I too booked last week of november as most of you here...
-
This time think all dealers will last minute rush in and if we didnt get the premium and the bodykit, doubt very much those who booked for the YOM 2008 will get the COE. Dont get me wrong I will prolly be one of those who might not get it this time round. :yehyeh:
-
Don't worry.
You will get your COE.
It's only when.
Remember, you have a total of 6 bids to secure your COE, meaning you have till end of Feb 2009.
-
I guess it's hard to predict how TCM will handle this upcoming bidding. Many factors could determine their mentality since this is the last COE bidding for this year such as reaching targeted sales number for the year, maintaining their current 4th position on the mfg listing, number of cars bookings still on backlog etc etc.. When I got my first Latio almost 3 yrs back, it was also after a crash in Cat A prices to 8k which resulted in a huge influx of bookings. At the end of the first bidding, some unsuccessful folks were offered the option to top up $500 and get an Open Cat COE. For those who did not take it, we obtained the COE by the 2nd bidding although with a lower paper value as compared to those who topped up. Hence, it's more than likely we'll get it within the next 1 to 2 biddings. For TC, having 08 mfg cars sitting in their warehouses inccurs storage costs and end-user perceived drop in the value of these cars when 09 mfg cars starts coming in as well. As long as the COE maintains stability, I would think that they will still want to get those cars out on the road ASAP.

Hi,
Wishing those waiting owners who are hoping to get their bid today(including myself) all the best!!
Lets share if you got the bid later on. It seems the time is terribly slow today.... Cant wait to know the result ...=)
*Heart pumping*
-
Yoh ~morning~!!!
All the best and good luck for those bidding today...
Rooneytoon2000. I m back to give you mental support haha !
-
dear all,
am just wondering, would us openly sharing what TCM has bidded for us here before the bidding cloese jeopardise our chances, i.e. other ADs can come in and check out TCM's bid and revise accordingly?
shld we discuss AFTER the bidding closes? since its not like by discussing it "live" we can influence TCM's bid anyway..
-
Yet not bidded for me. for Any of you TCM already bidded
-
Yet not bidded for me. for Any of you TCM already bidded

or very less purchases in the past weeks
confused now
-
hm abit weird.. last time round bidding .. 1pm got change in bid liao. now almost 2pm no movement at all.. dont tell me another $2 biD?~
Most of the time, movement starts in the last hour.
If Cat A COE is still $2 this time round, I'll buy a Latio and give to you or free, COE inclusive! :D
-
1hr 15min to go. TCM still no bid for me. any better luck out there?

-
1hr 15min to go. TCM still no bid for me. any better luck out there?
Don't worry.
TCM placed my bid only 40 min before bidding closed, and revised it upwards by $5,000 10 min before bidding closed.
-
compare to the last rd biding..this rd move abit too slow. look like will be another fall frm the last rd. predict to me 5k++ or lesser.
I feel it will be in the region of $6K to $7K.
Borneo Motors still has many orders to fulfill within 6 bids.
-
i dont know it will be revised as the car sold in reduced price
-

-

You will have to wait for about 2 weeks for TCM to clean up and polish your car & fit your sports rims, leather seats and other accessories.
Don't rush them on this or they will do a lousy job.
Despite me not rushing them, I got my car with the dashboard covered in a layer of dust. :crying:

Clarence.. then you got scold them? die sia.. i receiving this coming monday... i got a question which i think might be abit lame..
how are able to know the car is brand new from the warehouse instead of the one in the displayed showroom? cause mine is a white color was told to be the last one in the warehouse. i scare they replace it with the displayed one..

Scolding them will not get the matter resolved. I just went home to wipe with a cloth.
Even when I sent for my 5,000km servicing, they also did not clean the engine bay even though the service schedule says engine bay will be cleaned.
All the dust still remained.
Just remember to make sure the chasis no. in your car is same as the one written in the log card.
I am sure TCM has the integrity and will not swindle you in giving you a showroom car when you paid for a brand new car. :smile:

Eileen?

actually nothing wong with showroom car right? as long as its not the test drive car...
correct me here if im wrong
-
yep..very pretty n nice lady.. =)
Ha ha my SE said the same thing, same SE ah?
Eileen?
-
Ha ha didnt get it as expected. :yehyeh: :yehyeh:
Congrats to those who got it. :thumbsup:
Just curious, how many of you who got it, what were your specs? Sedan, sport, premium, bodykit, sports rims, etc?
Just trying to prove my theory and seemed that TCM not keen as bid the same amount at last exercise.
-
HI
thanks everybody i got successfull
-
mine is a base sedan ::)
-
totally agree that Borneo will do anything to take top place. My bro-in-law who booked his Vios (G) after the COE crash to $2 got his COE on the last round. Moreover, Borneo never even enter bid for him and straight away give him a open-cat COE. Guess what... the open-cat COE is ard $10500 when the Cat A COE is ard $10400. Now is his enjoying his new ride :cool2: .
I doubt TCM will be so good to give us (booked aft COE $2) this type of offer.
So what? When your BIL scrap his car (in less than 10 yrs), his COE rebate will be based on $2 nia hor AND NOT $10,500. :devil2:
-

ShowRoom car.. too many ppl open close all the door and boot liao.. def. still got some psychological affect lah hahahahah.. i dont wan my new car to be open by so many ppl before hahahah

Aiyo, no diff lah. I work in the port and I've seen those labourers (drivers) loading and unloading cars from big car carriers. There were so many screeching noise machiam they were doing Tokyo Drift like that. The cars were parked bumper to bumper in open yard, under hot sun, rain, sea breeze/wind, etc. I saw already also :nonod: So?
-
Check with bros who got the coe today, did u guys book ur car ex-stock before TCM increase the price? I book mine ex-stock $47K and did not get the coe today. My guessing is if u guys got ur coe today at the price same as mine, then my SE trying to earn more in my opinion. My bid was $3K+ same as the previous bid, no revised.
-
Aiyo, don't worry lah, you all. Some of you were saying that BM has more bidding power than TC. But don't forget, they also drop their prices for the Vios and Altis, etc by about the same amount as TC for Latio. So their margin will be similar to that of TC's and they will not be able to bid much higher than TC could. Some of you got your COE today right? TC has been in the car business for so many years liao, don't tell me they are so dumd as to price their cars so low that they will not have enough to secure the COE for the buyers meh? Then all their SEs working overtime to secure the sales just for fun ar? They must have done their calculations, checked and rechecked before publishing their car prices mah. If old cocks like them didn't know all these then TC would have closed shop long ago liao lo, tiok bo? So don't worry, all of you will get your COE and car within the contracted 6 bids. And you won't need to do any top up, trust me. Don't care what your SE tells you or how he/she psychos you. The most you tell your SE: "Ok, fine. Please return my deposit and I'll take the business to your competitor." Call their bluff and see what they say. They treated you like king, smiled and said so many nice things to you (even though he/she might have hated your guts) and finally convinced you to sign on the dotted lines. You think they will so easily return your deposit and let you go meh? And what about their commi$$ions, they don't need to earn ar? So don't worry, be patient. I say you will get means you will get.
-

Nothing wrong with showroom car of course, but the buyer shd not be paying for a brand new car and getting a showroom car.
Showroom car usually comes with additional discount of $1,000 and above.

I know Mazda stores their new cars in the open in the West.
Nissans are kept under shelter.

Excellent sound advise :thumbsup:
NEVER EVER top up for COE, unless you are really desperate for your car.
I have seen so many cases of buyers being asked to top up COE. They refused and still got their COE.
-
mine is a base sedan ::)
OIC same as mine but I top up to get the leather seats and sport rims which I didnt exactly want cos only want the leather seats.

Yup my SE called me and tell me not successful and told me prolly next bid and try to comfort me by saying those who got their coe last round cos they brought after the price increase. And those who got it this time were kinda of pre selected. Told me he will take the car allocation and prep it 1st. :out:
I simply told him, well TCM would prolly not bid for me cos too low a price booked at and that they are waiting for it to drop further before bidding for me. And I was quick to add that its ok will wait till Feb 09 after my 6 bids and take back deposit. Can sense he cannot tahan me liao. :yehyeh: :yehyeh:

Agree :thumbsup: Even I desperate will just wait for. However from some previous threads, there were quite a few only get their rides after the top up. :yehyeh:

hi 1st timer,
dun worry too much on showroom car..at least it is park under shealter and they polish it everday so it will look shinning and attract buyer mah. :D save u $$ from senting to car grooming aft u collect your ride.
most important..check t car milage to ensure it not a test drive car which inyour case is unlikely as they usually sold them at a discount price.
-
mine is a base sedan ::)
my is latio sport at $47k with bk and sprt rim n leather.
care t share how much u brought and wat t free things?
-
I got mine successfully...Hooray.. I got my Latio Sport Premium for 49k(after removing BK which cost $1000, and no loan)
-
So what? When your BIL scrap his car (in less than 10 yrs), his COE rebate will be based on $2 nia hor AND NOT $10,500. :devil2:
You may be wrong. If the Open Cat premium is $10,500 at the round when Cat A premium is $10,400, the scrap value will be based on $10,400 and not $2 nor $10,500.

i did a check on t cost price of vios (G) and base on my bro-in-law booking price. BM only have a 3k profit.
no wonder BM always top in its car sales among other AD.

This means your BIL got a good deal. Pay $2 and get $10,400.

I got mine successfully...Hooray.. I got my Latio Sport Premium for 49k(after removing BK which cost $1000, and no loan)
just like to know...is all sport premium come with sunroof?
-
just like to know...is all sport premium come with sunroof?
Nope.. must top up further to get it. I still don't get how you manage to get the Sport Premium for 49k given that the base price w/ the 1.5k loan subsidy is already at 51k. Since you did not take the loan, your total amt should be 51.5k after deducting 1k for no BodyKit.

my is latio sport at $47k with bk and sprt rim n leather.
care t share how much u brought and wat t free things?
i got for 47 with sport rim and leather seats FOC and no more feebees i tried hard, but couldnt even get a GPS.
Anyway i felt it as a good value for the price when comparing other brands like toyato, honda ...
and commited.
BTW when you are getting your ride on road..
Enjoy driving

Check with bros who got the coe today, did u guys book ur car ex-stock before TCM increase the price? I book mine ex-stock $47K and did not get the coe today. My guessing is if u guys got ur coe today at the price same as mine, then my SE trying to earn more in my opinion. My bid was $3K+ same as the previous bid, no revised.
Bro I got mine COE, I book mine ex-stock $47K and get the COE @ 17 Dec..got mine new car next two week.

bros who got COE this round can share when you are collecting your car? I was told mine will be registered and collection in Jan 09.
I will be getting mine within 2 to 3 weeks, the date not confirmed yet as my agent will contact me, and i told her that i would prefer to collect at jan 2009..
Better to register at 2009 coz your it would be easier to count & nicer to see, imagine ur register put 29/12/2008, u see also sian....
-
At this price, yours is the pre-facelift model ex-stock right?
All who got at that price were all FL no more pre FL. The discount was for ex-stock and YOM 2008 but most will get in 2009.

ur min coe bid that you signed in the contract is it 2k?
accordinging to hearsay....TCM split their bidding into different bands of min bid....2k, 2.5k, 3k, 3.5k and they have cleared 2.5k & above. These bands are the real thing that differential who get their coe 1st. Of course there are those on 2k & 2.5k that top up 200-300 to get themselves in front of the Q.
-
u got urs at 49k...the pre-FL with Sunroof, gold colur 1?

no sunroof.

Yes min bid $2k, rebate 3K. If like u say, most probably within next 2 bid my coe secure, will get the car after chinese new year liao......haizzzz.
-
Wanted to register the car in Jan 09 as well but was also given the same story about TC mandating that all cars that obtained COE in the 2nd bid has to be cleared before year end. Now just waiting for the car to be delivered hopefully by this weekend. Anyone else gotten a more firm date from your SE.
-
the last i heard from my SE is still collection of car next week..
since technically next week thur is still dec..i might be collecting in dec 08..
i do not have a firm date yet..
don't mind me asking..what's the big deal abt registering it in dec 08 or jan 09? does it make a difference?
-
I will be collecting my car in the 1st week of Jan...
SE told me Dec too rush...fine with me :smile:
and btw...expect to get high OMV.. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
-
bro..care to share why OMV will be high?
-
bro..care to share why OMV will be high?
Yen still high....
-
yen high but ours is ex-stock yea?
from my understanding our cars are from an inventory batch where the yen is not as high yet..otherwise TCM would not have been able to sell us at the price we were offered, and this is also why they jacked up prices for those stock which are not ex-stock, since the newer inventory coming in had higher costs due to higher yen..
-
Yen still high....
hmm...but ours are all ex-stocks mah.
meaning omv will depend on when TCM brought in these cars right?
anyway..i jus checked. omv for sprt base is ard 15k while premium is ard $17k.
-

that's is also my understanding...but when i asked my SE specifically abt the OMV for sport base, the SE jz said it is abv 15K and the car yet to be declared to custom and the SE said expect higher OMV
well for the price we are getting.....i wouldn't wan to say more.. :smile:
-
not trying to doubt ur SE's words, but whatever he said defies convenotional logic since we bought ex-stock, so the vehicle should already cleared customs and in fact already in the warehouse awaiting purchase and registration.
there is also no point for TCM to declare higher OMV since it would mean they have to pay more taxes, while selling to us cheap. why would they want to do so and diminish their margin?
don't mind telling us what your OMV is when you collect your car? would be a good reference..
-
I received my Latio Sports Premium early this month. OMV was already a high S$19K+. :thumbsup:
But as the others related in earlier posts, we are still getting ex-stock discount for the strange logic that was described, that TCM only check the car out of container port for tax when we collect the car, so OMV will be based on prevailing strong Yen even though we paid a much lower price for the car. :smile:
It is true that for our batch of 'ex-stock' FL Latios, TCM's profits are very much lower.

Yup my SE called me and tell me not successful and told me prolly next bid and try to comfort me by saying those who got their coe last round cos they brought after the price increase. And those who got it this time were kinda of pre selected. Told me he will take the car allocation and prep it 1st. :out:
I simply told him, well TCM would prolly not bid for me cos too low a price booked at and that they are waiting for it to drop further before bidding for me. And I was quick to add that its ok will wait till Feb 09 after my 6 bids and take back deposit. Can sense he cannot tahan me liao. :yehyeh: :yehyeh:
It is Tan Chong Management which makes such decision whether to bid for your COE, so you cannot blame your SE as it is beyond his/her control.
-

Well, I am not blaming him, just realised didnt actually get good deal from SE tats all. And if didnt get it after 6 bids more than happy to appoarch another SE.
-
well, to be honest, i doubt you will be able to get a deal better than what was offered..given that yen has appreciated etc..
and so far your SE has kept to his/her part of the deal and has not reneged on any of the terms so far..everything is still within the contractual T&Cs that you have willingly signed..so i do not see in what way you are unhappy..
from your posts what you are unhappy abt is that you failed to get the COE while others have already gotten theirs...but fact is still as long as its still within the 6 rounds of bidding they have done nothing wrong yet..
i can understand the frustration of not being able to get the COE while watching others get theirs..i myself was very very to get mine the last round, but hope you don't throw your sensibility out of the window due to your frustration..
Well, I am not blaming him, just realised didnt actually get good deal from SE tats all. And if didnt get it after 6 bids more than happy to appoarch another SE.

dun be so dishearted.
base on the current coe trend. it is only one way down n i pretty sure u will get on the next bid. cheers :smile:
-
Well, I am not blaming him, just realised didnt actually get good deal from SE tats all. And if didnt get it after 6 bids more than happy to appoarch another SE.
Don't worry.
You will sure get your COE, only question is "When"?
If you traded in your existing car, you probably have been offered a price for it, so you can continue using it till you get your new car.
-
Well I couldnt say I am unhappy purely because SE did help me secure my COE but just that I realised that if I had stick to other SE would have gotten at least something for my existing ride. Was too fast to commit. I didnt get anything from my SE for my existing Korean car. It was mistake on my part to rush into it. My fault. :yehyeh:
And after calculations, realised that if I didnt get COE might continue to drive my ride as believe market will be weak and prices might fall further no doubt that yen is rising. This is the best senario provided existing car do not give me problems. :pray:
-
I doubt prices will fall much, even if COE price dip.
You saw for yourself the lowest price in history for Latio basic sedan at S$46,000 when COE hit rock botom at $2.
COE prices for Cat A will remain at around this range and will not fall much as Borneo and Kah Motirs still have lots of backlog orders to fulfull up to March 2009.
My friend who booked the Altis was told that the earliest that he can get his car is in March 2009. There are stocks available but not enough COEs to register the cars. Borneo Motors will be agressive in bidding in order not to lose the deposits placed by buyers.
-
That's fair, well we'll never know when is the best time to buy as always. :smile:
All can do now is :pray: and :pray:
And if got coe then good. If dont after 6 bids its ok, just get back deposit and try again later. ;)

Interested to get solar film for my latio as well... ;D

tcheckhuan,
Your new car has likely been registered. Otherwise your SE would not ask you to collect your car.
I don't see how it makes any sense for you to ask Tan Chong to store your newly registered car at their collection centre until a later date, when the depreciation for your new car has already started from the day it was registered.

Hi Clarence,
I m not sure abt this, anyway i dont think i would want to postpone the collection date, like wat u said above, the depreciation for my new car has already started since Tan Chong most probably has registered it.
-

Hello,
The depreciation is negligible for a few days, same if you left your car in your MSCP and go for a holiday. So does it make sense to you now unless you don't go for holidays ? Anyway it up to you to postpone your collection date if you have reason to collect on your actual date, I merely suggest, don't let a juvenile's philosophy affect you about the depreciation theory, once you bought a car, it already a loss immediately.

Alex aka Jazz,
Again, I wish to reiterate and remind you to refrain from name calling and personal attacks, which is in breach of forum rules.
My reply to fellow forumer "tcheckhuan" below was a neutral point of view with no mention of yourself at all.

If you have nothing better to do, think it time for you to self examine. If you have courtesy, pls refrain calling my name instead of nick unless you need to re-educate again.
You quoted my post and reply tcheckhuan, are you in a fit of mind at that point of time since you mentioned you reply to fellow forumer and still dare to reply with no mentioning of me ? :out:
When did I call you names ? Did I reply you, or you start to malign me again as usual? I just explaining to tcheckhuan that why I quoted him, so why came inbetween and malign me that I called you name and personal attack ? I demand an apology from you young man !!!

Just wondering who among the group who obtained their COE in the last bidding have yet to collect their car yet. For me, I'm slated to finally collect the car this coming Friday.

Hi Bro,
got ur coe ? :smile:
-
Nope, bid so low how to get. Last time not willing this time revise bid also so low. Guess I'll be another unsuccessful case for 6 bids. :yehyeh:
But looking at the rate, won't be surprise if when finally COE dropped to 2k on either my 5th or 6th bid then they get it cos it be lighter on their pockets.
So gotten your car? N wats the model?
-
time to start new topic
COE 07/01/09

mine 3rd bid also unsuccessful...sianzzz short of only $500. My guess is my SE predicts coe will fall either before the CNY bidding or after CNY.

Finally got my car today at 1730hrs.... :smile:

Hmm 16k only.. that's quite a big gap from the 18k quoted by my SE b4 booking. Let's see how he talks himself out of this when I collect tomorrow.

-
Hmm 16k only.. that's quite a big gap from the 18k quoted by my SE b4 booking. Let's see how he talks himself out of this when I collect tomorrow.
It depends on whether urs a premium or basic. Believe 16K is for basic.

The Japanese yen has appreciated, which is the reason for the high prices of Latio despite COE at a historical low of $5K.
$16K OMV is very low for Sports base.
I cannot understand why the OMV is getting lower.
I paid $53K for my pre facelift Latio basic sedan in mid 2007 and got a $15K COE with OMV at $14.6K (which is considered high for basic sedan despite the Yen being very much lower then).

Sport base and sedan A/T OMV is about $16K for those who booked ex-stock .
Factor in COE ( $6200) & other incidental charges, TCM margin slightly >$31xx
IMHO, this was a good bargain :smile:
-
My OMV for my Latio Sports Premium is $17k. My car falls on the ex-stock catagory. I received my car on 30/12/2008
-
It depends on whether urs a premium or basic. Believe 16K is for basic.
What I meant was that when I booked the car, I was told that the basic sport is around 18k which made it very attractive against the Vios which I was also considering at that time. The OMV for the Vios was around 12k but was selling for a low 43k then. Hence, I felt that the 4k diff I paid for the Latio is more than made up by the 6k difference in OMV. Now that it's the same exact 4k diff, feel a bit cheated mah..
-
Latest update. Just collected a photocopy of my electronic log card from my SE earlier so as to allow me to register for car parking first. Was pleasantly surprised to find the OMV for my Ex-stock Latio Sport Base is at $18,399. When I enquired why there is such disparity in OMV values between cars coming from the same batch, they couldn't provide an explanation either. Guess it's my luck lor. Huat ahhh...

I was told the same but i know can't be true cos...i believe for one thing COE will be around $4 - $6K for the next few biddings.
And for OMV to be $18K , TCM will make less profit or no profit at all.
I checked the past 3 mths ave OMV before i book the car....
Booked in 2007 Mazda2 when COE was 5k & @$45K, then COE shot up, SE asked me to top up which i declined...after 4 biddings got refund :nonod:....
After that exp, i give TCM :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Dun worry bro., u got a good car . Enjoy :thumbsup:
-
Congrats to all who collected your cars! i'm sure you'd love driving every moment in yr new Latios! :thumbsup:
-
Actually this is my 2nd ownership of the Latio, previously owned a Basic Sedan for 2 yrs plus which was sold off early last year when I upgraded. Due to unexpected circumstances, my family needed a 2nd car which I promptly opted back for the Latio again as a first choice. The thought of going for the Vios as an alternative was mostly driven by the thought of saving some moolas in this poor economic climate. Anyway should be collecting it tomorrow morning after they have fixed up the number plates.. too bad I won't be driving it much anyway. ::)
BTW, the latest Latio prices are as follows :-
Sedan Base - $52,612
Sedan Premium - $56,112
Sport Base (w/ Free Nismo Kit) - $54,612

Actually this is my 2nd ownership of the Latio, previously owned a Basic Sedan for 2 yrs plus which was sold off early last year when I upgraded. Due to unexpected circumstances, my family needed a 2nd car which I promptly opted back for the Latio again as a first choice. The thought of going for the Vios as an alternative was mostly driven by the thought of saving some moolas in this poor economic climate. Anyway should be collecting it tomorrow morning after they have fixed up the number plates.. too bad I won't be driving it much anyway. ::)
dun worry....you got yourself a good ride...it is definitely more value for money than vios....in terms of workmanship, performance, space and reliability......i used to own a altis...find tat it is a crap and wasted money to buy it......if really wan to buy toyota....better go for JDI...better make and feel...but cost $$$ also...

Latest update. Just collected a photocopy of my electronic log card from my SE earlier so as to allow me to register for car parking first. Was pleasantly surprised to find the OMV for my Ex-stock Latio Sport Base is at $18,399. When I enquired why there is such disparity in OMV values between cars coming from the same batch, they couldn't provide an explanation either. Guess it's my luck lor. Huat ahhh...
Not surprising... the OMV of my ex-stock FL Latio Sports is 19.8K. :D

Congrats to all who got their ride with higher OMV. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Just wondering how fast one will get their deposit back after the 6 bids are over? Guess I'm heading for that way since I had not gotten a COE among those who booked for the ex-stock. :yehyeh:

How many bids do you have left, out of the 6 bids?
I am sure you will get your COE latest by the 6th bid.

Even PDR can't do much about the paint that got scrapped off as well. BTW, did anyone of you got free touch up paint from TC? Forgot to ask the SE about it during collection.

Hi htfeak
Did you check whether the touch up paint "stick" is in the gloves box? Mine was there when I collect my ride.
