2019 Hyundai Avante (Elantra Facelift)

[Ahtea]

Hi All, i am getting my Avante S pretty soon. Anything i should take note of?

 

Check for scratches and physical damages.

 

Also ensure that majority of the fittings are workable before driving out of the premises. Eg. levers to open the boot/bonnet/fuel tank.

Thanks bro, going for my 1k and bought own engine oil.

What engine u bought ?

Is it better to use 5W40 or 5W30 in our climate ?

0w20.

 

5w40 is too thick.

 

5w30 for a compromise.

Yes, for my case, I also reminded my SE before I paid the balance. She was nice to take special care and indicated it in the purchase agreement.

 

 

The last batch of Elantra was cleared at a very attractive price i was told.

 

So yea, new model, pricing higher, combined with less COE tickets. Maybe that is the reason for the drop.

 

Jan 19 is high likely because of the first delivery wave of Avante (heard there is about 200 units snapped during the launch).

The last batch of the previous model Elantra was cleared at a song in Sep 2018.

 

Elantra base model - $67K

Elantra S - $71K

 

COE was $28K

 

Now COE has increased by $8K to $36K, but the new Avante base model is selling at $82K, a raise of $15K.

 

Not worth it to buy Avante now.

This makes it even more puzzling. I seldom see Mitsubishi Attrage as PHV compared to early 2017.

 

If these “old” 2016 PHV were deregistered, it should have been returned back to the CoE system and cause quota to increase unless of course these vehicles are insignificant in number .

 

It is possible that these PHV Attrage were de-registered in 2018, which led to an increase in COE quota in the 2nd half of 2018 and lowest COE prices in a decade.

Not only Avante. It's simply not worth buying new now.

Well, the most ridiculous priced is still the altis.

Whoever need to buy new car or renew COE better do it now, otherwise the next buying cycle will likely be 8 years later.

Dont know by end of this year, what will coe price would be like for cat A?

[Ct3833]

will be on the upside but question is how much because of the anticipate reduction in quota allocation. and with potentially taxi coming in plus increase in PHV companies bidding, CAT B will go up, end up some of the potential buyers will be forced to buy CAT A instead, thereby increase the CAT A competition. 

[Vinceng]

Dont know by end of this year, what will coe price would be like for cat A?

 

Conservative estimate - at least $50,000.

[Tiger1]

Hear say some AD are already looking at 60K cat B in June liao.

[RogerNg_185295]

Its possible if quota keep on reducing.

Conservative estimate - at least $50,000.

 

Maybe Atttrage will cost near to 100K

The sky is the limit.

 

The Proton Saga was selling at $106,000 in 2013 when Cat A COE hit the roof.

That's what the govt wants in the long term . Lesser cars on the roads, more public transport users.

2nd half of 2018 was an exceptional period.  $82k looks expensive now but it may a bargain price next year 

[Vinceng]

Oh yes, sure make money if COE rises.

 

This Sep 2018 Elantra S was purchased at $71K

 

After 8 mths usage, can still sell at a profit of $4K.
