TS: can try the S90.. swee car of the year cheaper than an E class but so much more horsepower and comfort..

Defintely. My 2 colleagues, 1 having a 2 years old Jetta  and another 3 yrs old Jetta is

quite comfortable and quiet during the drive. 

 

Only have small issues like gearbox issues and change the gearbox twice. 

Engine stalled on PIE and nearly cause accident. 

Engine stalled in various locations 4 to 5 times and have to be towed back to Volkswagen workshop. 

 

Other than that, not much issue overall. 

 

changed gearbox twice, Engine stalled on PIE and various locations 4 to 5 times, still are small issues

appreciate your  humor

TS emphasis "reliable and cheap to maintain car", implied Japanese cars hah,

May I add my 2 cents here.....I recommend the Mz3 deluxe model now going for around $100k as they clearing stock for a faclifted version. This car should be reliable, MIJ, sunroof, 4 airbags, HUD, nice aesthetically and comes with 3 yr free service. Good value I feel.

Suddenly a 100k altis looks like the best deal in 2017.

 

 

After they shed some staff, Altis is back and maybe you can even receive improved customer service at their showroom. $99,999, 50k for car, 50k for COE.

Motorshow coming... take a look at K3...

[MQX87511]

actually I was thinking honda city. Cheaper. I put as no 1 choice.... but after you calculate the CEVS effect on PARF, and the altis extra servicing, I think it is only cheaper by 1-2k. 

 

everyone here say Altis

Altis too many on the road, and long and crowed service queue in Boneo motor, owners hate each other "why did you buy same car as me?"

The tuas incident says it all.

Mazda 3 is a good alternative to the Corolla.

Legroom about 80% of the Corolla. Conti feel and safer.

3) Toyota Alits elegance. $100k. 5 year free service. Guaranteed COE. rebate $43k

 

can I ask a question as I have never purchase a new car before.

 

how does the rebate $43k works?

free servicing, do you have to pay for the consumables like engine oil, oil filter or it's really everything in?

means they expect COE to stay above that level, for the price they quoted you, they will bid above that price for you. If COE drop suddenly to that price, no need see liao, they have to give you car. If COE drop before that price, you get the different back in cash.

 

for free servicing is anything due in the service booklet, means your engine oil, oil filter, air filter, aircon filter, spark plug, and any other fluid due for change, all FOC. You just have to make appt, drop and collect, but wear and tear parts like brake pad and tyres not included.

am I correct to say its nothing more than just a gimmick?

 

looking at the current coe price, lets say $50k.

how can they get below 43k?

no ah.. depends on the COE outcome..  

 

its a guaranteed bid.. so regardless .. buyer will get car...  if 50k.. dont need top up...

 

but in event of low bidding.. and say car is secured at 37k.. buyer gets 6k back..   

 

IIRC... it happened only once.. when cat B freak plunged to 38k or so... sometime early last year...

there was once many many years back, I think more than 10 yrs ago, when COE suddenly drop to $1 for one particular bid. All car buyers got ang bao for CNY from dealers.

Free servicing, means all inclusive. You pay nothing.

in recent memory la bro.. 

 

techinically.. ang bao is not from dealer.. ... dealer profit still slightly MORE in fact.. from the lower COE
