[Cirruslogic]

Anyone knows how the PIs calculate the monthly payment for a new car given

 

1. Oustanding loan of current vehicle

2. Number of years left for payment

3. Current vehicle interest rate

4. Rule of 78 settlement of loan

5. New car price

6. Interest rate

7. Loan - % of vehicle price to take

8. No of years of loan

Hi,

 

Also hunting for a trustworthy PI for an Allion or Insight. Found that the list from Singapore Honda Club forum is much updated although only for honda purchases I think. Shall we consolidate the list? Read alot of horror stories about the PIs so it will be good for first timers like me.

Any recommended PI for bmw convertibles?

Grateful for any positive feedback!

[Leepee]

My friend is also interested in getting a convertible...either a Z4 or 3-series.....we saw this particular white 323i at turf city few days back.

 

PI called up my friend today, says the price is still valid although COE has increased yesterday. Cannot guarantee the price will stay low in view that the economy is recovering and the COE is rising beyond $10k already.

Asking my friend to go down ASAP to sign on the paper, for a immediate drive away deal!

 

How reliable is PI servicing BMW convertible?

 

My friend is worry about the pre-delivery checks for PI BMW.

How will PI adjust and initialise the BMW computers coding?

The car is HongKong specs, don't know the software and engine management is suitable for Singapore road or not?

Anyone with some experiences can comment?

 

[Fulcircl0]

seems like all the 323 cabs have HK specs.

what's the price? (can pm me) saw one at amtech bldg (white/coral red) asking 169K...

 

cheers.

Bro doesnt the above sound very much Sales Talk?? Please dont fall for it. Just get it when your friend is ready and wants to.

Hi, i'm thinking of getting a 1.2XG swift with fabulous automobile at $43888 with all accessories included. Any bro had dealt with them before ? As the price is lower than many other PIs, would like to enquire some feedback from you guys.

[Limxiaoming]

I used to work there.

 

Just be careful the price may not be the actual selling price.

 

Thats all.

 

If the car is not there and they tel u have stock, dont believe.

 

And if the car is really there, do check for scratches and marks before makeing the purchase as the salesman there use lousy and dirty cloth to wash car every single morning.

heard that they do not outsource new car polishing services. all are done in house. so the paintwork may not be good.but that's the risk of buying from PI.

Hi,

interested in getting a Honda Fit 1.3 GF. Stuck between taking two PIs, Mov* and Vinc**. I am primarily deciding based on aftersales. Anybody can offer advice on which one is better or more reliable? Thanks

[Sky_ong]

why not consider Auto K as it is one of the largest parallel importer as it is a distributors centers too as some of the pi also get through them as current fit 1.3GF is selling at $55k visit http://autoksg.tk for more detail.
