Mizarahi Clutched October 5, 2006 Share October 5, 2006 IMHO, you will not buy 2nd hand cos most owner will have a pretty high asking price. Owner bought their vios at high price bec' of COE.(1 year vios is about $50-55k and 2 years vios is $60-65k). New vios less than $50k. It is better for you to buy a new one. Search sgcarmart for some of the 2nd hand prices. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jusnel 6th Gear October 5, 2006 Share October 5, 2006 y not? if its 2 year old car, good condition, still under warranty from AD.... y not? i still got 1 more year of warranty or the remaining 100,000km.... or something if i can buy at scrap + body, tat means i wont be in negative equity.... i can take watever loan (full loan also can) and drive 1 or 2 year, and scrap the damm car away w/o losing a single cent from my pocket. my first year of driving is still under warranty (3rd year of car), then i will drive for another year or so and dump the stupid car away..... so shiok! then i can look another car of my liking again. ppl buy new car, must die die drive for 5 to 7 years before even think of changing car.

Fashionista Neutral Newbie October 6, 2006 Author Share October 6, 2006 Jusnel Can U pls share with me how U do your calculation? I hear different opinion from SE, friends & colleagues. Lets compare a brand new Jazz or Vios vs a 2 yr old one. How to determine which one lose more after driving 2 yrs? The reason I looking for 2 yrs old car is coz I am going oversea in 2009. Thank you.

Jusnel 6th Gear October 6, 2006 Share October 6, 2006 easy la..... look at COE value and OMV/parf value and body value. this is the actual market value of tat car. new cars' prices are always alot higher than this market value of tat car. the difference is the profit margin of the car agents and garment taxes. so when u buy a new car, you are actually paying more than the market value of the car. the next day, when u want to scrap or sell this car, you will get back alot lesser than wat you paid for tat new car. this is why some insurance policy got "one for one" car if yr car is a total loss in an accident or theft while some other policies only state "market value" payout if total loss or theft. if your policy is "market value" only, then you will need to fork out yr own pocket to paid the remaining loan balance to the bank, coz the insurance payout is only 'market value". if yr loan is a high amount, you will cry till no tears come out..... now, if you can buy a 2nd hand car tat is selling only at paper value (COE + body), then you will be fine. coz yr loan amount is almost equal to the market value of the car. you will be assured tat if tomorrow you lose the car to accident or theft or you want to scrap away, yr paper value can cover almost, if not all, the outstanding loan amount. basically this is the idea on how you see car value. i hope its clear enough....

Zizou 1st Gear October 6, 2006 Share October 6, 2006 y not? if its 2 year old car, good condition, still under warranty from AD.... y not? i still got 1 more year of warranty or the remaining 100,000km.... or something if i can buy at scrap + body, tat means i wont be in negative equity.... i can take watever loan (full loan also can) and drive 1 or 2 year, and scrap the damm car away w/o losing a single cent from my pocket. my first year of driving is still under warranty (3rd year of car), then i will drive for another year or so and dump the stupid car away..... so shiok! that's EXACTLY the thinking with my current ride, but difficult to find hor, took me about 6 months to land this baby!

Khee Neutral Newbie October 6, 2006 Share October 6, 2006 there is a few type of ppl who sell their car after 2 yrs ... 1) Going oversea to work 2) Cannot pay installment 3) Upgrading 4) Lemon, repair until sian liao dun want to suffer the pain anymore 5) Accident until jialat jialat... Almost difficult to detect what is the reason of selling... if u unlucky kanna type 4 and 5, good luck to u... even 1 more yr of warranty also sian... imagine every time need to send back to AD for servicing/repair... The only advantage of getting an used car is the lower risk... dun forget even a 2 yrs old car, there is risk becaz body value and COE depicate... sometime if too many same model car is in the mkt, the body value will drop very drastically...
