Rezorn86 3rd Gear February 9, 2013 Author Share February 9, 2013 The Almera's rims are from Stamford Tyres,not from Japan,the rims are are made by SSW,Stamford's house brand,anyway Tan Chong & Stamford are family relative. Stamford tyres shld give nissan n subaru some discount price since they r related. :D ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rezorn86 3rd Gear February 9, 2013 Author Share February 9, 2013 (edited) 1.6L uses HR16DE engine: used in Nissan cars since 2007. Note, Latio and Juke are some cars ( not necessry SG model ) using this engine. 1.8L uses MRA8DE engine, which is newly developed and used on the 2013 Sylphy. $133K for 1.6L and $145K for 1.8L..............which is a more value for money deal? Depend on ur budget. If i will u, i will go for 1.6l due to f/c & road tax for long term calculation.. Althought every year i can save around afew K n some felt tat it is actually not much diff. but the few k for me, i can re-invest n get more return. :D Edited February 9, 2013 by Rezorn86 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Camrysfa Turbocharged February 12, 2013 Share February 12, 2013 Went Tan Chong again yesterday ( day 2 of cny).......this time with family. The Slyphy has been moved to the show room floor. The car got the ok but the high coe still a issue. No other car shopper there while i was there..........the customer (me) was eager to get a car and so was the the SE to get a sign-on. In the end, it was too scary to commit. Forgot to ask what is the OMV. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin03 4th Gear February 13, 2013 Share February 13, 2013 can advise what is the current offer and colours available ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camrysfa Turbocharged February 13, 2013 Share February 13, 2013 Sorry, I meant day 3 of CNY which was yesterday( 12 Feb 13 ).... I think the official price after discount for 1.6L is 133K and 1.8L is 145K. But if anyone willing to order on the spot, I think the SE can let go more. colours? err, hard to describe. Read on-line that the 1.6L engine is an improved one giving 15% better efficiency. Overall, for around 50K ( without coe ) it is a decent car.

Karu 6th Gear February 13, 2013 Share February 13, 2013 Still coming to terms with forking out > 100K for a car...130K is difficult to swallow for a 1.6l car. Haiz... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't give money to garment for nothing... $8k depreciation just for a computer record in LTA's system is so not worth it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karu 6th Gear February 13, 2013 Share February 13, 2013 Don't give money to garment for nothing... $8k depreciation just for a computer record in LTA's system is so not worth it. Totally agree...

Camrysfa Turbocharged February 13, 2013 Share February 13, 2013 Still coming to terms with forking out > 100K for a car...130K is difficult to swallow for a 1.6l car. Haiz... New Jap Brand 1.6L is say 133K - that's at least 12.5K depreciation per year. MIK brand 1.6L, 5 years old - asking price works out to be arounf 7.5K dep per year. Jap brand 1.5L, 5 years old - something like 8.5K dep. Diff of 4 to 5K in depreciation cost per year between new and used. I think used car option also not worth paying. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
