Darevil 3rd Gear January 12, 2017 Share January 12, 2017 I cannot understand by buying cheap/good deal in motorshow. the show is for your convenience like a one-stop shop (need money one). Not flea market (no need money one) And exhibitors pay for such shows. And i believe it comes with a hefty price tag per booth. So if such shows need money how to cheap sia. I remember way-back when my dad bought a parallel import fit with a non participating dealer. the boss of the company said "i rather pass the motorshow savings to consumer" ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winningeleven 4th Gear January 12, 2017 Share January 12, 2017 Best deal is Kia K3 $82,999, the price you cannot resist, the car you cannot get; even cheaper than the earlier $84K Elantra which nobody gets. Wow. Either they have to sell with very slim profit margin or expected coming next 8 bidding of COE to drop below 43k. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember way-back when my dad bought a parallel import fit with a non participating dealer. the boss of the company said "i rather pass the motorshow savings to consumer" By participating in motorshow, I believe most dealers are adopting the "less profit higher sales" strategy. It's easy for non participating dealers to say things like passing the savings back to consumer but in reality, most dealers do not practice what they say. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's easy for non participating dealers to say things like passing the savings back to consumer but in reality, most dealers do not practice what they say. SGP motor industry is unique that the total sales volume is capped by COE supply, when everyone starts to run promo at the same time like during Motor Show, everyone is competing for the same limited COE supply, I am sure they know very well no one will gain more sales significantly than others in a dog eat dog scenario. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the $84K Elantra is dead and gone after 6 failed bids. Good riddance! Not happy for not topping up SE of KMC held the deposit cheque of 10K for 12 solid days before releasing it to me after I kpkb, hahaha. Understand there was also another forumer whose refund to his credit card was delayed for same period of time. Such is the game KMC is playing if you don't top up after booking at low price. Pleased to inform that I have booked Honda City at 92999 last week with plenty of goodies and freebies. Although it is 6 bids non guarantee SE confirmed no problem can get COE next bidding on 18 January and car to be delivered on 11Feb 2017. Cheers. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also another friend which I recommended to my SE brought a Honda JAZZ yesterday from her. In total KMC SE held my $10K deposit cheque 19 solid days. It is a shame!

Hyundai was hoping the COE will drop. So they offered a very low bid price in your deal. But the City is nice, roomy and economical. If you want to know a good service chap, pm me when you get your car. Mine has been there for 10 years.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in the mean time, do check your T&C too, cheers. City at 92.9k is doable if coe stays at current coe level. if coe will to drop a few k more, KM will make additional profit. it is very different from elantra which was not doable at that price point. And i suppose KM expects coe to be around 50k worst case which is not wrong. One more point, i think they are cleaning the existing model to make way for the new face lift. Having said all, 92.9k is a good price. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you get new ride soon and do update in MCF. The last time my SE said sure can get COE, I told her then give Guarantee which she eventually obliged.
