2015 Forester 2.0

What's the target? Share la

Can share best price by SE?

I never ask best price now.

My target price will require COE to drop 10k or so. I'm not sure if i'm unrealistic but I can wait.

Just pray there is no miraculous change in the economic and stock market sentiments for the next 3-4 months and your wish could be granted - maybe even a larger than 10k decline. Maybe 20k?

I am looking at Cat B with great interest because it seems like demand is not exactly strong to hold up at 50k level.

Sentiments for 2016 is really not that good as discussed during my company's recent business review.

 

One main reason I'm waiting is because of the incoming COE supply wave. I do not wish to go in at the earliest part of the wave as that probably means I will be caught in 10 years time in the same situation when it is time to replace my car. I do not expect to get the lowest COE but I do hope to be somewhere in the middle.

 

I really like the Forester XT and I will definitely get it. Question is when haha.

i heard subaru can pay a bit to upgrade the window films? is it true? anyone know the price?

Not worth at all. Opt out of solar film and refund $50 and do outside. The free sarasin film cannot make it all all

So what u think it's optimal COE to go in? And when ?

Of course optimal is when coe @$2... sometimes in the future possibly

Fei hea

[sunnymonk]

I will not be able to say what and when to go in as it's a personal thing that each of us feel. If yes, then I can go buy toto liao lol.

 

I set my target after considering all external factors and also my own financial situation. Of course I have to be realistic and not expect a 10k COE.

 

At the same time, I would like to see the new XT in the flesh before I commit to anything.

[Kelfinity]

Anyone knows what the true avg FC for NA and XT? Heard its pretty bad at 10 and 9km/l?

Am thinking of either forester or xtrail. Any advice?

[Laurencelau]

I'm driving a XT, mileage travelled 5100km. 10km +- per litre FC is what I'm getting.  Travel mainly around neighbhood. 

Consider quite good FC for such a big car, all wheel drive.

 

[Stdfrank]

Anyone know when will the facelift FXT be on displayed in leng kee?

It is already there, behind the curtain...ask se to show you.

Think behind curtain is the NA version, XT not yet. Or has it come already? Edited January 28, 2016 by evo171

Nope XT not here yet.

 

@Kelfinity I think 10/9 is not bad for a SUV of this size with AWD.

If I can get that, I will take it for sure.

 

Both XT and X-Trail are on my shortlist but XT edges ahead due to the power. The lack of power in X-Trail is glaring to me after driving them both. In return you have to give up things like all view camera, 2 emergency seats, DVD player, slightly bigger sunroof, slightly bigger boot.

Depends on your priorities really.

whats the latest price for the XT? some say as low as 115k.

[Hamiles69]

Dear bros,

 

Any idea how much price diff for 17" and 18" per tyre?

 

NA is 17" and XT is 18". It is also one of the factor that I need to consider in my budget.

[evo171]

No way. $115k would probably be for NA previously. Currently px list (http://www.subaru.asia/sg/media/buying/info/pricelist.pdf) shows at $122.8k. Depending on discount, maybe $119.8k plus minus.

NA is 17" and XT is 18". It is also one of the factor that I need to consider in my budget.

If one can afford a $100K+ car, paying marginally more for 3-4 replacements of tyres during a car's lifespan should not be a factor.

 

If this is the deciding factor, then suggest that if you do buy the version with original 18" rims , to immediately trade in and downgrade to 17" the moment you drive out of the showroom. The trade in price for original rims can be very attractive and with downgrading to a smaller sized rim, you may end up paying very little like $200-$300 or lesser for the switch, And smaller rims  with thicker profile tyres are more comfortable.
