Soya Supersonic October 23, 2012 Share October 23, 2012 Or vice-versa. Been seening plenty of "direct owner" ads on sgcarmart wif such descriptions: "Confirm Loan Approval For Bad Credit/Ex Bankruptcy" "Can Arrange For Balloon Screen, Monthly Installment From $398" "Bank Interest Rate At 1.88%, Full In House Loan Available" Hmmm.....wonder if some of those scumbag dealers are selling as "direct owner" to avoid the Lemon Law? ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iisterry 3rd Gear October 23, 2012 Share October 23, 2012 In the eyes of the law, it shouldn't matter. Just like for property if you transact beyond a certain amount of properties in a given time frame, you are considered a property trader. The caveat is and always will be, how far are you willing to go. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattjoe 1st Gear October 25, 2012 Share October 25, 2012 Dealers advertisement is very cheap, but a lot of them are selling on consignment and only make from insurance and car loan commission. may be that is why they advertise as direct owner. in effect, they act as a broker. That's how I sold my car recently. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alheych 6th Gear October 25, 2012 Share October 25, 2012 Some tell-tale signs for dealers posting as direct sellers: 1. Google the telephone number. If it appears more than once, it is more likely to be a dealer. Not as if normal people always sell their cars. 2. Ask about "the car". If response is "which car?", then it is a dealer. Not as if normal people have so many cars to sell that they don't know which. 3. See the photos of the car. For me, dead giveaway, even before you need to call, is if background is turf city or textile centre 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kamikaze89 2nd Gear October 25, 2012 Share October 25, 2012 been receiving a lot of flyers from brokers (with only the dealer name, no company listed) at my hdb carpark. these dealers could be cash rich that after they make full payment to take over vehicles, they advertise the vehicles again under direct owners. possible or not? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
