Alfc 5th Gear May 16, 2007 Share May 16, 2007 I would support not topping up anything cos my colleague jus got his latio 2 weeks back. He committed at $49k just after the coe crash in feb and now was given a $14k open cat coe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewbacca80 Neutral Newbie May 16, 2007 Author Share May 16, 2007 ya i actually asked about open cat... and she said they ran out of open cat.. damn sian Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boxster 2nd Gear May 16, 2007 Share May 16, 2007 No I ment how much are they willing to bid for you? Coz it is not logical for them to say 12K as top up 2.5k they are going to give you a guranteed one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tehkb Neutral Newbie May 16, 2007 Share May 16, 2007 You have waited long enough for your Nissan March, go for $2.5K top-up for a guaranteed COE next week. It's not so prudent to collect your deposit and start shopping again, car price have been on the up trend and you really want to wait for another 6 bids (it's very painful). Go for it, get your car Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windwaver Turbocharged May 16, 2007 Share May 16, 2007 Hi all! My SE jus called me and she gave me 3 options for my last coe bidding, which one should i choose? any advice 1) top up 2.5k for guaranteed coe 2) top up any amount to increase my margin for bidding 3) top up 2k for guaranteed within next 3 bids, so 6, 7 and 8th er failing which if i still want to go with the 7th round it would be additional 1k 4) Dun bother.

Alfc 5th Gear May 16, 2007 Share May 16, 2007 my colleague was asked to top up too but he refuses and in the end got his car. i am not sure if he jus happen to be lucky or this is the usual tactic. anyway its your call if u really like the car and can bear with the top up... hope u get your ride soon.

Chewbacca80 Neutral Newbie May 16, 2007 Author Share May 16, 2007 Hai.. guess maybe i would top up a mere 500..... just to see how.... oh well... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windwaver Turbocharged May 16, 2007 Share May 16, 2007 but if i take the back the deposit and buy other car , other cars these days are so expensive too... aye.. wonder if this would happen if i have gotten a suzuki swift... sianz heh wonder if i can decide on the bidding day itself to top up for guarantee.. maybe i should ask her actually her advice is to top up a sum , either 500 or 700 plus.. not so exp compared to 2.5k Why rush? I ask you to take '4) Dun bother' is because if you're not in a RUSH, wait for August, which is just 3 months away. In fact, 2 1/2 months only. Remember, buying a car is a long term commitment. I know how much a agent earns, even if you dun top up at all, she still earn. Trust me, the 1st day you get your keys, you've already lost BIG TIME, why rush to lose $$? Be patient.

Guest Julio369 Neutral Newbie May 16, 2007 Share May 16, 2007 correct! They are playing the "who blink first" game. you blink, you loose. The top up money can get you a lot of parking coupons, ERP $$$, petrol etc. Patience is the game. nothing to loose... Note that property, stock market over heating .... time will come to release some steam. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You take the bet whether you want to give it a try. Also, to me March is not a very very popular model (no offence), I see no reason that TCM do not want to earn your money Also "failing which if i still want to go with the 7th round it would be additional 1k", so I guess you have option 4 too. Or Option 5) take back your deposit Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eyke Supercharged May 16, 2007 Share May 16, 2007 (edited) Distributors are always fighting for numbers, and furthermore it's old stock they are trying to clear, so call their bluff. Tell her that you will take back your deposit and buy other brand if they don't give it to you. Be brave Edited May 16, 2007 by Eyke Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today high COE prices is to your advantage. If you take back your deposit and decided to buy another make/model, guess u are paying current prices which is easily $5K more.. Does it make sense?
