Typhoonz 4th Gear August 31, 2010 Author Share August 31, 2010 How come no one mention abt korean MPV lay? Not within my consideration... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typhoonz 4th Gear August 31, 2010 Author Share August 31, 2010 Honestly, if you buy this Stream at $70k, I will be very happy as my July 08 Stream with $14k COE will be worth about $67k. Budget wise, if you let go of your Fit, you can pour $30k as down payment and loan $40k. Over 7y @2%, monthly is about $550. Just nice meeting your target. But bare in mind, it has quite low COE. When it turns 5 year, the paper value is only $17.4k + COE $3.25k = $20.6k. If the body value is $10k at 5y, total value is only $30.6k. Your 3 years depreciation is about $40k, which is staggering. But if you drives up to scrap, then it will be $60k over 8 years. $7.5k per year. Not too bad. Seems like, you don't have much choice but to go ahead to get a 7 seater for the safety of your family. Try to bargain the price to maybe $68k or less. Good luck. That's if I can get hold of this owner... Called her about 3 times liao... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furrynadz 5th Gear August 31, 2010 Share August 31, 2010 vs the stream this makes better sense honestly depreciation and features wise http://www.sgcarmart.com/used_cars/info.ph...245&DL=1213 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferraricalifornia 1st Gear August 31, 2010 Share August 31, 2010 So thus the low price? nope.... clearly, the owner of that Stream that you're interested is selling at a crazy profit over it's paper value.... not worth the buy.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furrynadz 5th Gear August 31, 2010 Share August 31, 2010 not the 2.0L version when there's the 1.6Turbo right??? when u buy 2nd hand it dont make a diff, except the road tax portion 2008 is a yr with high euro and low yen buy a jap 2008 car is a dumb thing to do let alone something with a tin can body, ridiculous 2 rear seats for shopping bags, no rear crumple zone, no crash bar, 2 airbags, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt about the safety features in this car... It fits my budget too but just the road tax portion... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furrynadz 5th Gear August 31, 2010 Share August 31, 2010 not really a lot for maintenance its abt the same as my 2L camry i can check full history of this vehicle as well with the vin number since day 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furrynadz 5th Gear August 31, 2010 Share August 31, 2010 300$ more a year Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferraricalifornia 1st Gear August 31, 2010 Share August 31, 2010 the Stream's OMV that you're interested in is $21,748 = 100% ARF.... so parf value is 0.75 X ARF = $16,311.... COE Rebate = $6501 X 99months / 120mths = $5363.... paper value = $21,674.... factoring in $10k body value, but she's selling at $70,800.... think about that!!

Furrynadz 5th Gear August 31, 2010 Share August 31, 2010 looks like ms ong is trying to clear off the stream at her 10yr full loan left 8yr to clear settlement price Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferraricalifornia 1st Gear August 31, 2010 Share August 31, 2010 mate.... difference between 1.6L and 2.0L is quite a lot leah.... road tax ($385/6 months 1.6L, $620/6 months 2.0L) insurance probably $500/yr difference, petrol consumption, maintenance too leah.... ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
