Haha he mentioned mercedes mah. But yes, a couple of my friends have been buying from PPSL also, average 3 to 6  months old "management cars",  usually slightly more than 3k KM Odo reading. Very good discount from new car price. Hope your friend didnt take the quilted price, can usually press down by many more Ks 

My friend one. 30km on odometer. Same depreciation as those with 30-50k km on odometer. Lol at first I thought he meant 3000 or 30000. But it's actually 30km haha

Either will do since I'm sure the main motivation is juz to buy a badge within a tight budget....

walk away from those so call management if you can afford new. these are usually demo units, units that used for their organized road trip (usually being abused) or others purpose.

Buy new. COE will go down if we are still Dorscon Orange.

As topic, pros and cons?

It’s seems like u dunno what u Wans?

A,GLA & C

 

#Are you a first time merk owner?

i can safely Guess ,YES.
U are buying into a marque without much outlay & u learn  to navigate arnd workshop specialise in the 3 pointed star.
i will recommend the pre own.

#How much u noe abt mercs?

See From yr choice,not much.

The C is a proper merk,continental or was it German car is predominantly Rear Wheel Drive.

RWD & 4matic are the real deal.

A & GLA are FWD  & are basically entry level of the brand & I believe the A does not come with a rear aircon as well(I think)

and the worse part of it ,wait  for it..................

it comes with a rear centre hump ,on a front wheel drive vehicle  ,dat is juzz nonsense.

 

#is it all abt the cost?

Everybody is watching their bottom line?

A 2012 c class have probably 2 yrs to run.

i give u another alternative?

Around dis period ,there’s quite a few C180/200

dat comes with COE renewed.
check out sgcarmart?

2019 is the year where the PQP is @ it’s lowest ebb & many have paid early.

There’s many w204 running around on the road,

& spares are aplenty with a decent pricing.

what not to like?

Dun get fixated in buying NEW.

U lose an arm & a leg ,when time to sell.

perhaps a brand new model for 2021,u dun mind get a big hit.

I first in the block ,first in my kampong.

But ,u buy a new car ,where so many have oredi been running around in sg,I dun see the point,

maybe no worry on breakdown,no issue on anything but there again new car ,can have its problem too(dats the warranty for)got to admit ,it’s few & far between,

Juzz the the other day I saw a brand new X5 

being hook up the tow truck,wifey mentioned a pool of liquid on the floor,aiyo.

Another valid reason to get new ,to me personally is.........to entertain my overseas client/customer and even dat onli a premium 

car will do ,Camry ,accord (i’m sorri)juzz dun cuts it.

Yes 0 count but not attractive enough.. I think PML not hungry yet..C&C is though giving good package for the C class.
