Except some change more often, pay higher taxes, and die earlier, just saying. Edited by AFWE69

Agree!

 

I worried about the Reliability of my post-warranty hybrid Lexus and it's imminent Death before it's time, worried about runaway COE/VES (Taxes).... And therefore I made the Change.

Test drive doesn't mean anything.

 

One can test drive from attrage all the way up to S class/7 series and eventually still buy an attrage if his budget is limited or he doesn't think it is worth while spending money on essentially a point to point transport.

 

In the meanwhile, it is human nature to defend and justify your big ticket purchase. Sometimes we need to step back, take a deep breath to have a clearer picture of what we are doing. 

breathe in breathe out... breathe in breathe out... nothing happen leh..

Change the hybrid battery and associated control chips at 4th year of life...... I assume Mean Time to Failure applies to the range...so every day pass the 8th year is a ticking time bomb  and a damn good excuse to sell to CO that I NEED to change car... :D

I wouldn't say so bad till lao yah... but it is not made by any car god, still has it's own share of mechanical breakdowns and problems. Not like what some believe that toyota cars never break down.

 

I am only rich in nonsense. :D

Harrier Turbo CO2 is 177g/km.  That puts it confirmed not in $0 band cause CO2 max for $0 is 160g/km.

Minimum for Harrier Turbo will be $10,000 band (C1).

Refer here:

https://www.lta.gov.sg/apps/news/page.aspx?c=2&id=08685840-d664-4713-9ccb-96dcd8936d08

 

Depending on its other 4 pollutants (yet to be measured), it could even go up to $20,000 band. But my guess it will be $10,000 cause it is tuned as an Eco Turbo and its focus is Fuel Economy except when you really press hard.

But the $10,000 cannot run away.

 

For Forester XT confirmed it is $20,000 (C2) band.

 

Another plus factor for the Harrier Turbo is that it is a Dual-Injection engine - currently only Toyota has this technology where it has both Direct Injection into Cylinder and Port Injection (old way) into inlet manifold.  By having both port & direction injection, Lexus/Toyota are able to maximise fuel economy and minimise pollutants (best of both worlds).  So hopefully only $10k VES penalty.  

 

Can read more about it here:

Previa kena $10k CEV.

Harrier Turbo maybe $0 CEV.

So, margin is about $25k lor....

 

Btw, BMW X3's OMV is only $34k.

This Harrier is more ex than X3 outside of Singapore.

C1 will be from 1st Jan 2018.

For now, will be $0.

https://www.lta.gov.sg/apps/news/page.aspx?c=2&id=8aa03b88-409f-4852-b2df-09077e101468

 

Yes, if want to buy, better buy now or else will be $10k more from 2018.

I must really pray for actual delivery is in December.

 

Don't worry bro, I actually went to Toyota factory many years ago and they are state of the art manufacturing with what our terms call CTO (Custom To Order) in line with the production.

 

If ever my factory is like them. I make it big liao. haha. But I not manufacture car also. So your ETA will be very "zhun" or maybe pull in early.
