Maybe he was referring to the Mercedes F1 driven by hamilton

Ya right. And Hamilton's underwear is still hidden somewhere in the car. Bonus to the next car buyer.

I suggest not to tie in scrapping your COE-expiring with getting the used car, most dealers do not deal in scrapping.

I just scrapped my Latio Sports in Jan 2015 with one of SgCarmart's recommended Scrap Yards & Exporters and got a few hundred dollars for the body. These guys have hundreds of scrap car bodies in their yard and salvage the parts for reselling, so your body is likely worth more to them than anyone else.

 

 

Which scrap yard u went to?

Heard quite troublesome to scrap the car yourself? Cause you would not know which scrapyard is better?

I think the 20% is just the dealer's terms and conditions, but you should just give the dealer a call and talk. Also, why don't you get quotes from sgcarmart or direct cars to see how much your car fetches? I have a car with COE ending in May 2015 as well, so am looking around at this time too.

Yep i called this afternoon. Its true that only 20% downpayment required. Like one of the forummer here says , there are no parf value - and yes its right.. no parf value upon my verification by dealer. Wad the 20% dp is for consumer to enjoy lower monthly installment but wont get back any return except scrape value ( he mentioned roughly $2k) when coe expires. If apply normal scheme, 50/50 or 60/40 then the usual scrape and parf value applied.

Bro! Thanks for clarifying! I saw that some other dealers also offer 20% downpayment only. Seems like there are many of them using this technique. Too bad the used car market is not properly regulated (or rather not regulated). Dealers are playing with lots of loopholes in order to sell their cars!

No prob , some 'direct owner' may not be necessary 'direct'. They are actually dealer in disguise , but not all lah.

It sounded like the "Balloon scheme" years ago.... in this case, basically, the Parf is used as downpayment. Some loophole ? I am not sure.

 

18k depreciation .... for a BMW Coupe ... not that bad lah.

Check under Scrap Yards & Exporters in SgCarmart's motor directory. I used the first one.
