Gabriel 1st Gear May 14, 2010 Author Share May 14, 2010 since you so honest... i help you... if you buying normal car and intend to convert OPC.... the dealer will sell you as normal car and your loan will be based on the normal car price.... then you ownself go apply to LTA to convert to OPC... and they will give you cash back every 6mths i think is 1.1k. till end of COE or till you scrap the car or till you convert back to normal car (last option not sure possible anot) if you ask me bo hua... cuz then your loan amt based on normal car price which is much higher then the OPC car price which in turrn relates to higher interest payable. ic..coz i thought we can have loan based on OPC price.. and the rebate will go to dealer.. and i agree with u its bo hua if end up have to pay more interest Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Introz Clutched May 14, 2010 Share May 14, 2010 (edited) ford focus and mz3 are using same platform... some parts are also similar......... i feel mz3 is a good buy.... i drove it a few times.... not bad... if you dun mind the slow pick-up conti cars i never try before got rent last time.. mz3 is a good car ( smooth driving after slow pick up ) but fc is not for ford im not sure... very hard to hear people renting ford for chevy optra cheaper but driving quite sluggish, Fc is better overall i would choose chevy optra then mz3 in long run Edited May 14, 2010 by Introz Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
