adrian140180 5th Gear July 7, 2019 Share July 7, 2019 I switched off the aircare function on mine, because I feel it made the car work abit harder to keep the air cooled. Anyway I am using a combination of aftermarket xiaomi ginormous air filter for cabin dust, and the sharp plasmacaster for odor neutralization. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Safedriver76 1st Gear July 7, 2019 Share July 7, 2019 very cheap? Doubt given it is 2nd owner for buyer. Discount is around few thousands only from brand new. Agreed that it is not a "fair and reasonable" price offered by the dealer for the octavia, but quite sure someone will still bit the bullet nevertheless, as the price point is probably more palatable (as compared to the new car price)..Hard truth.. In fact if you look at the used car price, very few are offered at reasonable prices..Saw a few honda civics (1 year old car) which is even more expensive than new cars!!What on earth are these deals thinking?? Just trying their luck for some carrot heads?? How much u reckon can bargain? Dun think it is possible to get any good bargain nowadays..If can get a few hundred already stole smile liao!

Safedriver76 1st Gear July 7, 2019 Share July 7, 2019 Audi weekend sale 30k obertrade Remember there is a flash sale for Audi A4 not too long ago, and it is being sold at around 140 plus?

It might be because dealer cannot offer "special" loans, but these car dealers can. 7 years loan for brand new civic vs 10 years loan for 1 year old civic, those who have tight budget will take the 10 years loan.

Sopskysalat 4th Gear July 7, 2019 Share July 7, 2019 Off 10k-12k minimum from new i would consider good. Very hard to bargain with dealer unless consignment unit or unit is on market for weeks. Nevertheless, i would see some will buy it with 2k discount and high loan. To each of his own. Good car though. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carbon82 Moderator July 7, 2019 Author Share July 7, 2019 What tactics is this? More loan, lesser cash outlay for down-payment. At $108K Max. Loan (60%) = $64.8K Down-payment ($108K - loan) = $43.2K At $130K Max. Loan (60%) = $78K Down-payment ($108K - loan) = $30K *Note: Actual price of the car is still at $108K, but through marking up the selling price (on paper for financing purposes), owner "saved" $13.2K cash for down-payment. Creative financing... But at the expense of the owner, as he/she will need to pay additional interest for that $13.2K (~$2K based on 7 years Lian at 2.19% p.a.) 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optramagnum 6th Gear July 7, 2019 Share July 7, 2019 It's call over-trade.. This tactic has been around for decades. Many years ago, my good friend over-traded his Fit for Stream from Borneo Motors too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tks for illustrating, bro That's why sometimes I laugh when ppl think they got a damn good deal for their trade in coz AD offer them "$10k more" than outside n because of that, their d/p is lower. Wah sei...higher trade in, lower d/p hosay liao, so they decided to buy from that AD.... But in reality, they are the one paying the $10k, not the AD as the car invoice price would added in the extra $10k n land up w a higher loan & interest Some may be deliberate but some may really be sotong.... ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
