[Blueray]

Cat A : $23k

 

Cat B : $30k

[Spring]

Exactly around a year ago, all ADs were spreading fear of the new VES kicking in 1st January 2018. A year later, all car prices. Lesson learned - never trust these sales people.

To be fair, VES meant more cars had surcharges than rebates compared to CEVS n that meant more cars were indeed more ex all things being equal. But COE came down which meant overall prices came down and also ADs n PIs sourced for cars that were either neutral or with rebates like the Kia Stonic. ADs/PIs that couldn’t bring or possibly their parent didn’t have these kind of models like Regent Motor/Ford have practically nothing to sell.

 

An example of a car which actually costs more is Mz3 who now have a surcharge vs neutral previously. Price has come down recently cos of the drop in COE n also they clearing stock for the new model in next year so can’t say that SE lied or made up stories.

I think they don't wait for bonuses to buy the car immediately. Cos unless you earn a lot, your bonus will barely make the deposit. Don't think it will hit the downpayment.

 

Someone who takes home $7k(after cpf) with 13th month plus one month bonus will only take home $14k extra which is only sufficient for deposit.

 

Unless the person has lots of savings or has earmarked all his bonus just for deposit for a new car, I don't think a person will purchase a car based on the simple fact that bonus has arrived.

 

So I think if demands goes up its because coe has gone down and people on the sidelines are rushing in. It's not because of bonus.

 

It might be different for motorbikes though.

 

My two cents.

 

that will give u good credit card rebates by swapping 14K and using points to get some items..

 

But must pay full when the bill is due, else the recurring charge is humongous.

Civic price dropped until $88k? Whereas Cerato and avante higher spec already asking around $85k? No wonder you said bo hua to get a korean car?!

The Korean cars have low OMV compared to Civic. The wiser choice is to get the CIVIC

Civic is now Thai made.. The made in Japan factor is gone. Only the turbo model is worthwhile for consideration

If a person is willing to consider a 86k bnb kimchi, it means he is more features hungry ma

 

else if do a direct comparison, a mid tier Avante with more air bags and slightly more features still costs abt 10k less than the civic
