interesting to know why PIs don't sell Nissan

[Hutan]

that's because only Honda is good brand. Nissan CMI

[Quantum]

I don't think so, Nissan is good brand too

Maybe TCM has some agreement with government

I think TCM knows the correct cars to bring in, thus PI cannot find a better car to bring in. Ie, if TCM dun carry the 350Z, you will see PI bringing it in, just like what happen with the S15 silvias. Soon you will see PI carrying the new GTR though. KM did not bring in the Euro R and Airwave, so the PIs bring it in knowing there is a market for it. Or mabbe KM didnt bring in due to some agreement with Manufacturer.

hi all,

for any models that will interest the PI for them to bring in, first of cos must not b the same as the AD, second, the profit margins must b good as there are more overheads, paperwork needed to b done etc

yes nissan technology may not surpass honda, but if TCM din bring in sunny or latio or cefiro, PIs will. so they are only sourcing for other models tat SGreans may like, which Nissan at the moment dun have any.

who knows the future? maybe nissan will have some models the PIs will love to bring in n may b big volume sellers

cheers

I think BM and KM brought in too many Thai model cars , this give more chance to PI to bring in Jap models, but TCM doesn't have any thai models at all

[Chan0004]

Actually in the previous series of cefiro, i remember the PI did brought them in...i think their cefiro has higher HP than the TCM ones...

[Quantum]

this is TCM marketing tactic

they eated all nissan models, didn't give PIs any chance...

PI used to sell Nissan cars. They used to bring in Nissan Liberty, the japanese version of Nissan Prairie.

[Princey_anne]

I also buy Honda from PI

[Jlkl]

Ya and from same PI too.

[Ccssgm]

Maybe .....TCM......Dun spolit the Nissan Market....

[Quantum]

actually more PIs sell the brand, means this brand got better reputation mah,

why is TCM so silly

[Ccssgm]
