If I remember correctly, the price of Latio is alway stay around $57000.
BTW, just booked the premium version, hopefully I don't go wrong. with K car for the past.

no major differences in both price (+$1k) and car except for the CVT engine. main differences of premium model are:
. CVT engine
. add 2 tweeters at front pillars
. wood grain finishing
. better leather seats
. some interior lightings
. some other minor stuffs
if you like CVT new technology and comfort, then the $1k is worth paying for but be advised of the higher repair costs if it kaput. suggest you test drive both to decide.
$57k... premium model? that's good price... i bought my sedan premium for $59k (with side mirror signal indicators, alarm, solar film; tried asking for additional i-key but no luck).
then price dropped even before i collect my car. was told the drop is becoz TC dropped min COE bid/sub from $16k to $14k, my car was bought under $16k package.
then COE dropped to $16,747... think those who bought under $14k package also got COE...
loogie $2k even before driving... wtf, could have used the $2k on a good ICE setup :crycry:
-
Yes, $57500 for Premium model.
given rust protection, paint protection, auto mirror fold and solar film.
asking for side mirror signal light and addition I-key but no luck.
-
CVT and the seats are worth every penny.
-
yep.. I also book for the preimum version. Can I know what freebies u all get ?
-
I got the Latio Sport Premium...for 2 years now..
& just cleared the 35k mark..(OPC) ;D
no regrets at all..still enjoy my ride...& its all stock from day one. :yehyeh:
few times...while washing car...another fellow Ni :w00t:ssan owner would say they should hav paid tat little extra $$
for the Premium version. (after lookin at mine)
funny thing was...back then..i test drive the normal automatic transmisison model..yet took the CVT...hehehe... :out:
at the end of the ride...its wat you're comfortable driving with.. :thumbsup:
-
wah..now the price diff between normal and premium is only $1K ?? then of course can take the premium version...
it was $5k diff when i bought mine 2 yrs back :mad: :mad:
-
Yes, $57500 for Premium model.
given rust protection, paint protection, auto mirror fold and solar film.
asking for side mirror signal light and addition I-key but no luck.
i bang balls lor... u bought from which TC branch or authorised dealer?
-
Can I know what freebies u all get ?
gathering from friends n forum posts, some ideas of freebies to bargain for are...
. solar film
. side mirror with signal light
. alarm (integrated with i-key)
. spare i-key
. body kit (full or subsidised)
. side mirror auto-folding controller
. rust protection
. paintwork protection
. others on special arrangement with the SE
buyers will probably get only some but not all of what is asked for, unless your barginaing super duper 没马跑 ... but still quite impossible :w00t:
i asked for items 1~5 and also to remove CD player for a discount... got items 1~3, body kit granted 50% subsidy but i decided to save the $$, i-key cannot give coz too expensive, CD player cannot remove for discount coz factory fitted ::)
-
i bang balls lor... u bought from which TC branch or authorised dealer?
wat item u got ? juz book today. Got the DSR body kit at $500/- off. Car mat, Visor, solar screen, alarm. is it too little ?
-
i was told car mat is standard item, dun ask also will be given.
when you book the car, was the list price $57.5k also?
apart from the freebies, usually can knock the price down by about $1+k.
list price was $60.5k when i book the car, bargained down to $59k (else i lagi bang balls) with the freebies. was told by a SE of another branch trying to close the deal that he can do better if i go to him, but then too late liow.

-

price is fixed... but there's an invisible small print saying "negotiable upon request"
-
Was told the next shipment, the CD player will came with MP3.
... and we gotta pay to get mp3 playing HU ourselves outside (https://www.sgnissan.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fsmileys.on-my-web.com%2Frepository%2FUnhappy%2Funhappy-060.GIF&hash=90f345dd59ebaea68aa0089a68fd69c68f7d64c7)
-
Hi, I am also sour for paying $2k more. I got the YOM2008 with OMV$20k plus for the sedan premium.
The Salesman try to sweeten me up by telling me TC rugi about $4k as the total car cost is $63k.
Then, he agreed to give me a Holux GPS out from his pocket.

I don't need MP3 and was told new batch additional 10K.
so same la, after a few months, they want to clear stock, the price will drop again to around 60k too.

how long did you wait to collect your car after securing COE?
i was just told earliest is 17 Nov... wtf... paid extra 2k, waited 1+ week for COE, now still gotta wait 2 weeks to get car
this is indeed a very lousy purchasing experience (https://www.sgnissan.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fsmileys.on-my-web.com%2Frepository%2FTV_and_Movies%2Fzombie-en-feu.gif&hash=4659d5f34b066d76e91651885f5127ea56b65889)

Chill out, man... i think waiting 2 weeks after getting COE to collect is very normal... i also waited 2 weeks for mine. My SE told me fastest is 10 days, but normally it's 14 days.
-
price wise i think heng/suay one lah, once you sign liao forget it lor, just wait for your car and enjoy it, i think most important is not to get a lemon, else how cheap also :bandhead:
-
ScoobyDoo,
Once your COE is secured, the following works need to be done to your car before it is delivered to you.
1) Drive car out of warehouse
2) Wash interior and exterior, and polish car
3) Tuff Kote car, if you requested for it.
4) Send car for window tinting
5) Rip apart velvet seats and install leather seats
6) Take out steel rims and install sports rims
7) Install hi fi head unit
8) Tune engine and replace battery (for YOM 2008 stock)
9) Final inspection at Tan Chong and touch up of any faults
All these takes time.
If they speed through the process, you will get more headache if these after market parts are not fitted properly.
-
oh ic ic... thanks for the feedback, didn't realise it takes so much time to prepare the car. i tot most of the things should have already been fitted in advance since the premium and basic models don't share the same body and also using different engine, unlike models which uses same body/engine but differ by bodykit and upholstery. those that need fitting would be the extras that's not part of the stock deal... hmmm
anyway, this is my virgin deal for a brand new car, all my past 老相好 are used, settled in a matter of days. record was, all settled within 1 day... but that was in Australia :w00t:
plus my bro told me its a short process to sort out the admin (he said his new matrix from Komoco came within 1 week after securing COE), thus was disappointed when i heard 2 weeeeeeks... times are different :ohmy:
-
TCM need additional 1 week to sure that you will enjoy your ride the moment u step into the car.... :yehyeh:

Hi, anybody can provide me with their reg no/ sales invoice no? right now, i m only getting free bodykit and tats all =(... i am paying $200 for solar flims. Spoke to my SE tat i want to have side mirror auto-folding controller, rust protection, paintwork protection for free,(which almost everyone is getting) but he told me to provide him with a reg no/ sales invoice no, then he will be able to speak to his boss.....
Any kind bro/sis can help out?
-
Hi Fluxc, you might have got the best deal as bodykit is the most expensive one.
May cost $800. So, you have "used up" the discount a salesman can give.
Solar film cost is about $350. You pay $200, that's another $150.
So in total, you got almost $1k off from the salesman, which I think is very good deal already.
Or, at least, better than my deal.
-
o.O...wat freebies did u get? besides the gps
-
$500 off in total. $200 is from NAC as I was ex Nissan owner.
My membership expired in somewhere 2008, or else I will get $500. This is what they told me.
Gps is from the salesman. So kind of him to give me, as it is not negotiated when I signed the contract.
And plus the solar film. So total discount I got is $500 + $350 + $200 (GPS) =$1050.
You got better deal if we minus off the NAC privilege.
-
It depend on how much loan u take. Juz got my latio premium this week. Loan 30k for ten yrs.

Refer to the this link:- http://www.tuffi.com.sg/clad_kote.html
You may call them up to ask. BTW, not sure TC using them or not or they have their own contractor.
BTW, you do not need to re-spray every year, up to individual. for me will do it once every 2 years. ;D
-
Hi guys, is rust and paint protection a standard item when u buy the car? I heard from SE tat there is no tuff kote applied to our car. Paint protection is system 6.
Any advise?
