You can buy your own star diagnostics system on taobao if u r into diy. 4000 rmb only. And there are many competant merc workshops in sgp. So i choose to save 10k and expensive service charges. There are so many merc diesel taxis in singapore and therefore i am sure servicing the car would not be rocket science. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piyopico Supercharged February 12, 2017 Share February 12, 2017 Unlike to be cheaper than AD on the same specs.But he managed 40k savings from PI which is another 30k on top of c&c. Worth a punt leh. Not sure if the savings can be as good for petrol model though. I guess you still need lobang to buy from UK. Maybe other countries sell cheaper than UK. Only PI insiders will know.

Vratenza Supersonic February 12, 2017 Share February 12, 2017 Just thinking out loud here. 10k adoption fee (heck, even 20k) adoption fee does not make business sense for CnC. 10k adoption fee includes a 3yr warranty (CnC current offer on their cars) coverage? Within warranty period all non wear and tear parts cost covered? If say someone bought a PI car, drove for 2.5 years, suddenly gearbox uplorry. Goes back to CnC pay 10k and gets it fixed and enjoy a brand new 3 year warranty? So when do they start the adoption time clock? Original import and registration date? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vratenza Supersonic February 12, 2017 Share February 12, 2017 Oh.....now I see... So there is even less reason to get any non-CnC MB adopted then. Why will anyone still want CnC to service their PI cars when warranty preservation is not part of the equation? And pay 10/20k to be chopped? Errrrrr adoption fee just means they will service your car.Nothing to do with warranty. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
therock Supersonic February 13, 2017 Share February 13, 2017 Because certain things might be out of the capability of PI workshops.. so pay up when that happens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All new cars come with factory warranty. Adoption fee is for AD to adopt this imported new car into factory warranty period. So not necessary full 3 yrs hor. For imported new car, warranty could lose a number of months depending on how factory determine the start date. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So essentially the PI car would also have factory warranty, why do you need to pay 20k to C&C unless the PI company out of biz etc. I didn't know the 20k buys you a warranty from C&C.

Take note that it is very hard for individual to prove OMV of deep discounted price to Custom hor. I have always wondered about the OMV of certain AD cars. If you spec it up retail price using overseas sites, the OMV is usually much higher. Do you have any more information on how is the OMV determined for a car we import ourselves vs AD? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
YingYing Clutched February 13, 2017 Share February 13, 2017 HiHi , Newbie in the forum ... Actually not quite sure if this is the place to ask these questions... My dad is looking at buying his first E class .. Had been Volvo ardent fan all his life ... finally he decided on a change ... so here goes 1) If PI offers a price that is 20K cheaper than CnC , with complimentary sunroof and led panel .. is it worth it to give up the warranty from CnC ? 2) Is there any recommended PI for Mercedes ? Please tell me / direct me to the right thread if this is not the right one ... :) ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
