Used Car Dealers Feedback (Part 2)!

[Scholesy]

@oasiscars i think what you did is good for proper closure and sharing your side of story. 

one may be in car sales but reputation is still important 🙂

anyw reviews these days, google or FB, really must take with a big pinch of salt...esp those with 100% 5 stars....haha

kudos on the donation 👍

I am writing this as a feed back as I am disappointed with the unprofessional service of Oasis Cars Pte Ltd, and I would like to provide feedback on my experience. On February 9th, I initiated contact with Alan from Oasis Cars Pte Ltd, expressing my interest in viewing a Peugeot 3008 1.6A PureTech EAT8 Active. A viewing appointment was scheduled for February 13th at 3 pm, with Alan Sim as our agent.

During this viewing, Alan assured us of paint touch-ups and claimed that the car had recently undergone servicing and was under warranty until June 2025. Although the initially quoted deposit was $1,000, it was later revised to $2,000. We opted to place a $45,000 deposit against the total price of $102,500. We explicitly mentioned our intention to decide on the final deposit amount after selling our current car, a request initially met with resistance, citing potential impacts on Alan's commission. However, after explaining our rationale, he agreed.

Price of this Peugeot 3008 has been further reduced to $100,800. Looks like a good deal. $14K a year  is lower annual depreciation than most Japanese and Korean cars. 👍

Selling price of $188K is  $95K above paper value.

Vey high risk. Can try to bargain down to $180K.

Volvo is generally not a popular make in the used car market and resale value is non existent.

So give yourself some buffer.

Dealer take in at $102300 then sell it at $109800. 😁

Never change.

Heng I never sell them any cars.

Sign purchase agreement and don't want to take the car.

Then try and spoil dealer's good reputation and break people's rice bowl.
