Wyv9, congrats on your purchase! Hope you will enjoy the new ride! I am not sure what freebies you got from the SE, but I asked for reputable brand solar films, 3M mats and a Defender soft toy for my son (hehe) when I bought the car. The 3 years maintainence package was standard at that point in time.

 

Stunticon, you can get Garmin after market GPS and my reverse cam is actually integrated into a clip-on rearview mirror. You can check it out at most of the car accessories shop. Total cost for both is about $600, including installation. I can also intro you my SE if you want. Just PM me.

 

As for Evoque, I don't deny Evoque's drive and ride is better than FL2. If only I am Single and have more $$$, I would go for that. "Unfortunately" I am married with 2 young kids and not so much $$$. So sticking to my current FL2 is still best choice.

 

I don't think there is any LR forum around. If any of you do start one, count me in please! By the way mine is a grey FL2.

I think HSE is with the sun roof. The next version they bringing in is SE without sunroof. The sales person never tell me no stock liao :0. BTW what colour u getting?

B

Dunno whether want to wait till August. Btw which sales person you buy from? Mine doesn't seem very knowledgable :p

 

The dark blue colour. The sales is a lady. Forgot her name. The car is for my wife actually so she is liaising directly with her.

COE went up by more than $5k, may not get the car. The promo price is for 1 bid non guarantee. See what the SE say tomorrow.

Tough to get bec at a selling price of $169,999 their gross profit is only 6-7k Coe pricing in at 62k at previous promo pricing. However I think its worthwhile to do top up for this car at this price that comes with a OMV of 40k

Wyv9, see what the SE says and you decide.

 

LR has been selling their cars at very very fine margins since about a year back. I understand that they get some "support" from their manufacturer...

I don't believe in topping up. It is a sale method to get u hook. No doubt the car is cheap considering the profit margin.

 

There r other cars and I m not urgently looking to change.

 

COE will go below $55k, IMO. I can wait.

Well, I am planning to transfer my other car to the wife but even if I want it stocks won't come in till September. Also they are bringing in limited units in September so not much choice to choosein terms of colour and options

 

Since cars are so expensive now, I don't really want to be forced to compromise and maybe regret the choice later. Anyway lets see the new prices tomorrow. Heard its, going up liao :(

The surcharge of $5k will kick in 1/7 so the next batch will kana an increase in $5k to the ARF.

 

If I don't get it this time round, I will give it a miss. There r other to consider and I will wait. Furthermore the next batch is a scale down version with no sun roof. It is out as my children love the sun roof

Yup, sun roof In front and moon roof behind.

 

I did not get the COE. I Log on to LTA and noticed that they did not bid for my wife at all! When I told the SE, she told me that the management did not bid as they see that the price is too high!! Now they give me a gentlemen agreement that they will definitely get the COE in the next 2 bids! ... Sianz... Skali play me out after a month and say cannot... Anyway see how it goes, I m not urgently looking to change. It may be a blessing in disguise... Skali Coe drop to $50k in sept... Then I bang balls...lol

Yes. The CEV rebate started on 1 Jan 2013 and the CEV surcharge will only kick in on 1 July 2013. FL2 attract a surcharge of $5k.
