sunnymonk 1st Gear January 14, 2016 Share January 14, 2016 Does anyone know if the new forester is displayed at the Singapore motor show? Cant get any info searching on the web... The new XT is not because it's not approved by LTA. I can't remember if the NA was there cos I didn't go look for it. But the pricelist remains the same and the old photos are used. My SE told me LTA don't allow them to show or bring new FL to Motorshow without approval. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xefera 6th Gear January 15, 2016 Share January 15, 2016 spoke to one of the SEs at the motorshow that the FL XT will have the following - new rims design - memory seats - headlights/taillights changes - bi-xenon adaptive headlamps - slightly bigger centre console screen no eyesight and instrument cluster still the same as current outgoing model 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sales talk 101. Just like when they launch the current XV variant. $8k premium.. Within 2 mths price drop to previous variant despite increase in COE. Just wait for a few months.. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Within 2 mths price drop to previous variant despite increase in COE. Just wait for a few months..Latest news from my SE is price remains @ 124,800. They are allowed to take bookings now. I'm still thinking about it.. As my ride expires only in 01/2019 and it's more of an itchy backside now rather than real need to change.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And another $1k for non guaranteed. My sensing they will bring it down by $3K the next round. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My sensing they will bring it down by $3K the next round. You might be correct. Cat B Dropped $5K today to all time low of S$50 K. List price may drop $3K to $110K. Minus $3K off list price + $1K off for non guaranteed COE = $106K. Forester, here I come! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minus $3K off list price + $1K off for non guaranteed COE = $106K. Forester, here I come! Think can wait till March. Suspect COE Cat b may go down by another $7-8K.

Vinceng Turbocharged January 20, 2016 Share January 20, 2016 Even at $110 K, plus the higher OMV, makes more sense to get a Japan made Forester than a Thairolla Altis. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenTong Turbocharged January 21, 2016 Share January 21, 2016 Wow, is that insider news? Service and maintenance package sounds delicious.They got in a big container of stock. If you look at Cat B bid vs available COE this round you will know why. Demand is weak and actually will be lesser than what will be available in Feb. Think lots of ppl (Cat B types) could be holding back buying new cars or are going for Cat A. MI may want to offer ppl sweeteners to come in and help them move their Cat B cars Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MI may want to offer ppl sweeteners to come in and help them move their Cat B cars Heard MI sold over 100 plus Foresters during MotorShow. If this is indeed true, then the big shipment of cars would have been sold before it arrives. Unless there are more cars already ordered by M1 and coming in soon. Once upon a time, the Forester was a relatively rare sight on the roads. But now everywhere you look; from car parks to roads, they are everywhere. MI have hit a sweet spot with the perceived "great value for price" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenTong Turbocharged January 21, 2016 Share January 21, 2016 Buyers and ADs is playing a cat n mouse game these next few months. All depends on perceptions. AD will send out messages to "coerce" buyers that while COE will go up bcos everybody will rush in. Still think it will be heading south for this year. Those who can wait wait. Those who can't..

Pocus Turbocharged January 23, 2016 Share January 23, 2016 (edited) mI not allowed to take order by LTA coz still not tested. Think XT testing now. Maybe they were clearing existing stock.Not true, got a fren who book a new model car that haven't approved by LTA. Wait for a 2 mths finally approved and delivered the car. From c&c. They say if not approved will refund. Different dealer work differently. Not a rule by lta. Edited January 23, 2016 by Pocus ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
