Zxcvb Turbocharged October 5, 2019 Share October 5, 2019 6 hours ago, Ct3833 said: In SGP, the car sales volume is capped by monthly COE quota, and COE have been over subscribed with or without car show in every bidding exercise. Dealers know that the more booking they secure , the higher COE they will have to bid, therefore they will not give real discount during car show to get themselves into COE bidding trouble. Think about it, has anyone heard of any good deal in the recent past like someone got a $5k discount from car show ? The only advantage of car show these days is that one could see more than one brands under one roof, plus maybe a few free plastic bags. Sales volume is capped by COE quota is a fact. If there are 100 car dealers, doesn’t mean 100 times more car to be sold. There is only limited COE for new car registrations. That’s why most authorized car dealers give 3months to pass you the new car, to spread out the bidding of COE. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTO-1 4th Gear October 5, 2019 Share October 5, 2019 Just went to it (just up the road from me). Pretty quiet at the car expo section, but a lot going on in the expo (eg Malaysia Tourism, India food festival, wintertime sale). Been to every expo since start of last year - it's really the same every time, even the layouts. Only thing that changes is the prices that usually go up despite discounts. Maybe the car colours change, but otherwise same models, few people. 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesc Hypersonic October 5, 2019 Share October 5, 2019 OK I will take everybody advice and not buy during the car shows. I will buy during the non car shows to get a better price. I guess car shows are only good for seeing the new models. 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kia7200 5th Gear October 5, 2019 Share October 5, 2019 The best deal usually r those close door sale or clear stock The rest r just gimmicks 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
car50 Twincharged October 5, 2019 Share October 5, 2019 Late afternoon crowd was decent like in past years. The most crowded occupied tables were at BMW Counted 8-9 occupied tables with an SE and customers Think still useful for those who want to drop by to see several models at one go New BMW 320i on display. Q60 on display also looks nice. Can go over to other halls, Malaysian holiday travels, Indian festival and cookware 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carbon82 Moderator October 5, 2019 Share October 5, 2019 Drop by the car Expo for a short 30 minutes while on the way to fetch my wife, and manage to check out the new Q3, priced at $159,999 with VC. While the interior look very high tech, trendy and well put together, bits of hard plastic and the flimsy door closing mechanism say otherwise. Surprisingly the deal for BMW X1 is quite attractive (last 7 units as of 5:30pm), partially because PML is clearing stock for the LCI model, which is scheduled to debut next week. Priced at $139,888 with X Line trim and digital speedometer, there are nothing to be faulted, and it is confirm more spacious than the new Q3. A good buy for those who don't mind the 1.5T 3 cylinder petrol engine (140ps 220Nm). One thing very weird, the LCI model will attract a $10K VES surcharge (current model is at neutral band)?! 18 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be a small amount of people who are not worried about their jobs, COE quota is so limited that this small group of people is enough to keep the COE price going. By now everyone knows that SGP car show is a waste of time. Dealers also know that with or without car show, the total amount of cars the industry could sell is limited by the COE quota, what diff a car show is going to make in putting more cars on the road ? There is no need to have huge crowd to show up in a car show. Car show is becoming a place for dealers to show their presence, not to secure more order. They cannot tell customers that they have to raise price because of more booking, so they will go there to pretend like there is good deal, but ask ourselves, who has gotten any good deal from car show ? Maybe some discount for a test drive car at best. Edited October 6, 2019 by Ct3833 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didu Supercharged October 6, 2019 Share October 6, 2019 Mr. Lo is one of those determined to walk away with a car purchase when he set foot in there. One cannot dissuade such customers. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
