Turnout in Showrooms

[Silverjoe]

With the global financial crisis and uncertainty. It would be interesting to know how is the turnout in the car showrooms during weekends.

 

Have you visited one lately and how is the crowd?

[Riverfish]

what's the point of checking out showroom crowd? The real indicator is the COE price.

[Eyke]

quite good over at LK Honda, VW also quite ok.

[Silverjoe]

Just wanna see the spending power and whether right time to commit a car...

[Picanto]

crowds in showrooms does not determine spending power and whether its right time to buy car.

yo bro, dont think it proves anything right? =X

 

if a person with cash at hand but no car, he will get 1 if the need comes no matter how bad the economy is. some pple dun get affected by such crisis i suppose?

The crowd at the showroom will only show what sort of buffet and clowns they have for family entertainment

[Sony]

then you shd go to orchard road underpass and see how much money people is giving.. then go to each cashier and see what people are buying.. finally, to the wet market and see whether the price of pork have changed anot

Sorry, I am only interested in the turnout in showrooms. Please don't sidetrack.

Affected but still buying

[Nirxe]

Crowds will still throng the various showrooms but that is no a indication of who's spending and who's not. Lots of them are just window shopping and getting a feel of the car of their dreams... Furthermore, car dealerships will also not reveal their monthly sales figures to us...

 

But If you really require a car for your lifestyle/work, just live within your means. Factor in the upkeep and maintenance cost of your intended car ownership prior to signing on the dotted line. That way you will be able to weather any storm irregardless of the financial climate. Good luck!
