Check this useful function out ............ I have been hoping to have this for a long time

Use the Depreciation Calculator to get estimated figure

You can find this in the car detail of the Used car section

 


Better if we can sort by Depreciation value

It's about time. Some of those ah beng dealers really dunno how to count one i.e. $10k depreciation can anyhow say $8k, etc.

 

Especially for OPC car when the parf value is no so straightforward to calculate. Dealer beri easy to con first timers.

it's been around for a few months. Useful. Though i try to use my brain and do mental sums to maintain my working memory ...

i think it is good function they linked the car ads to the depreciation you have calculated.

 

i mean i always calculate manually but find it a chore to search for cars with comparable depreciation. the linkage makes it a breeze

The Depreciation Used Car Finder was launched this morning.

boss, as per my previous post that is subsequent to yours. i like the linkage to the car adverts very much. good functionality!

yep.....hehe i took thread starter word for it. my mistake.

 

The sorting is not within the usual Used Car listing section lel.

 

E.g. Go to Used car , find all BMW cars . There is no sort by Dep. in that listing area.

Why is it that for BMW F10 520i, they depreciate at roughly the same range regardless of whether its 3 yr old or 1 yr old?

 

http://www.sgcarmart.com/tools_tips/depreciation_listing.php?MOD=bmw+520&RGD=4&VEH=&DEP=

 

All these depreciate at about $20K plus minus $1K.

Then does it not make sense to buy a newer one?

Like a 2013/2014 model? Higher paper value + facelifted.

but absolute money terms is $60k difference

great initiative

 

but it seems depreciation is based on 50% of OMV as standard?

 

i tried my jan 08 car, it should be 55% of OMV rather than 50%.....

Thanks for spotting that. Its an error indeed. The minimum PARF of cars with COE obtained before Feb 2008 should be 55% of OMV instead of 50% of OMV.

 

Will forward to the technical side to resolve.

Totally dont make sense to consumers . Just dealers' way of thinking i guess.

This car has no estimate ?
