teomingern 6th Gear March 25, 2017 Share March 25, 2017 I book at 83k when coe was 47k to 50k also can't get. Really must sit out thru 6 bids, if AD bid 42k then really is GG. Wah... a bit tough... maybe can top up about $5K then maybe ok... ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cypher 4th Gear March 25, 2017 Share March 25, 2017 Tier 3 under this kind of circumstances. No hope liao. My friend got it under 2nd tier. First bid, got liao.There is still hope due to only one reason. They are clearing stock and this model not selling in SG anymore... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are clearing stock and this model not selling in SG anymore...They won't clear it at a loss... and on the balance, it will depend on whether bidding high for you works in their favour or bidding high for a more valuable margin for another model is better for them.

There's still Open Cat COE and the lowest premium this year is 48k.. so far... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes... but would you rather give that to someone ordering an Elantra, Tucson, Sonata or Sante Fe as these have far better margins? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's still Open Cat COE and the lowest premium this year is 48k.. so far... @teomingern I have thrown in the towel. They offer me an option to top up for a few k for "very high" chances of getting the car and I have gone for it. Cos I did pm some forumers here who told me they topped up eventually so I thought don't waste any time. Even with top up my car is still 83999. Not really that high in today's context. So here's hoping Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Club21z 4th Gear March 25, 2017 Share March 25, 2017 Only a handful bought at 79k when it was at lowest, some even got it at 90+k. So if 83999 can would be ok pricing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And come with attractive freebies U can consider too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Club21z 4th Gear March 25, 2017 Share March 25, 2017 Unfortunately Hyundai has a bad reputation to lure buyers into top up game, so potential buyers need to beware of the low offer price gimmicks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So here's hoping Ah... I think even at $84K, it's very worth while to top up... guaranteed you'll get... anyway, top up already cannot get, it's ok lar... you don't lose anything mah... Actually there r few other choices Jazz 1.3 Swift 1.4 K3 1.6 All these models r slightly higher list price b4 discount. And come with attractive freebies U can consider too Pricing is higher lar... definitely... and those advertised prices, we don't know if can secure COE or not... Unfortunately Hyundai has a bad reputation to lure buyers into top up game, so potential buyers need to beware of the low offer price gimmicks. That's patently untrue... if so you won't be seeing so many Elantras on the road... many get their COEs and cars at the advertised prices... many car dealers practise price tiering for those who want to get their cars at low low prices... it's basically a gamble that the COE will drop... everything is upfront... there's no gimmick... you are told upfront that your chances of getting the COE is low... your choice... but there are people who get their COEs cos the COE premiums maintain or even drop... no car dealer is so stupid as to keep offering deals that they can't fulfil... they don't think like you thankfully... they're in a business of making money... and that means fulfilling as many orders as possible...

If have time to wait, why not. Personally I prefer K3 and Honda Jazz, and the price diff is around 2-3k before bargaining. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Club21z 4th Gear March 26, 2017 Share March 26, 2017 (edited) If what you say is true, komoco would have lost the hyundai dealership long long time ago. Guess you dun own a hyundai?Guess you don't follow the tread closely, I own a accent 5dr manual. It's well known that if price is low coe chance also low, compared to Mazda or Honda which pricing are more up front and seldom do top up options. Those elantra on the roads, probably tier one or two, tell me where those 83k elantra are. Edited March 26, 2017 by Club21z Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
