Hey guys. I am not saying it is gospel truth, just sharing among fellow car owners what i am told by a steady fren of 27 yrs.

 

Like i say, he hinted.

 

How much credibility? I ever said i work in a bank in one of my prev posts. He asked me to secure car loan at preferential rate (fren fren rate) for him. That is how the conversation starts over a meal.

As i have mentoned, its just a conversation between both of you. Nothing concrete unless you have an agenda against diesel cars

Let the clearance sales begin..

My buddy just bought a Volvo V40 on sale.. $125k...

How's that?

If this new scheme is to be maintained for about 10 years to prepare for future EURO 7 or 8 standards, probably it may make some sense.

It's hard to see what's going to happen next year, since the importers have about 9 months to bring in more fuel efficient and cleaner models. And nowadays new models have to be built to comply EURO 6 standards and above.

Let's wait and see.

Would be great if an mcfer bro who is a car techie is able to draw up a similar table of comparison for other cars such as SUVs and other hybrids...

tats quite a steal isnt it? diesel of petrol variant?

[Benarsenal]

I mentioned before, all the major ADs already know what's been coming and already have plans to adapt their model line-up. Maybe only the smaller ones with no foresight (like SEAT) might suffer, but for the bigger established brands they already putting in place their next step for 2018, ready to roll out once the dust has settled.

 

After doing business in Singapore for so long they already know our Govt 'kuan' and how they function, so they will know how to take the necessary steps and precautions.

T2 I think... 

But loan is pretty bad:

7 years at 2.8%... I think that's a 16k outlay..

Thanks bro, good to know the general direction of things.  We understand the context. 

 

I think it's terrible that one does all this analysis and research on a new car, spend tens of thousands on it and then govt policy changes overnight and you're screwed!

For Merc the smallest loan I could get was 60% of car price for 6 years at 2.68%.. any lower all the freebies and service credits will be removed  was feeling abit bad but now at least I know its not as bad as other AD lol...

Agree. cars like Elantra attracts +$10K, cld they tune their engine to make it burn more efficiently but likely compromise on power? 

Pirus attracts neutral, lowest tier is neutral? is there any car that have -ve or rebate under VES?

That's often how a dealer claws back some profit..

I negotiated a 3 year loan.. painful enough..

3 years loan period so good! I think I probably didn't push hard enough.. or maybe cos I was going for the entry model so to them that's the lowest they can go liao 

[therock]

You probably got a very aggressive price for your car.. when margins are thin, they will try to make some money back from the loan / 'freebies'..

Use to be $149k ?

Up to now haven't see any tables for this twist and turn VES for all models .

60% of car price at 6 years is a lot of extra interests, even if full payment with rule 78 after 2 two years!! 

 

 

 

just for reference, KM can go full cash zero loan, the AD freebies like warranty, servicing, dash cam, mats, road tax all still the remain unchanged

 

only difference is the additional SE's own pocket freebie (if any) will be lesser.
