Even people are rich, they also should not push up the price lah. Who gains from this? you forgot last year after march you buy stocks in april easily 50% return by dec many new economy stocks give you more than 100% return from April to Dec! even units trusts like blackrock new generation also give you more than 100%! unit trusts leh! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was once BM was the scum of the earth when it failed to honour deals when COE rose very quickly and asked many loyalists to topup else refund their deposits. Those long enough here had fun watching BM eating humble pies. Never say never haha. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My PI Prime is a humble one but its boss always got interviewed after COE exercises haha. I finding it more and more make sense as it carry many popular models from many popular car brands within its big showroom so I can drop by in my shorts and sandals to look see look see if I am intrigued by certain models and nobody will throw me dirty looks haha. And I no need to cultivate relationship with SEs from other makes, just one. Though I only buying cheaper models, at least I am giving them business so ok lah. Truth be told right now I still do not have complete confidence in PI as a industry, so if the car i want is available only from PIs, I will still buy from them even if they charging a few ks higher as no confidence in the rest. But with guanxi, can negotiate one lah so about same price eventually haha. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To put simply, how much the final sale price is dependent on your bargaining power, period. If you the thin-skin type, you tend to accept whatever price the SE offer you. But if you good in bargaining and bargain intelligently, you can easily cut a few Ks here and there, and the SE will be more wiling to oblige you if you have sort of guanxi with him. He will also petition to his boss more willingly as you have provided him business before so now maybe earn less but still earn lah. But if eventually the boss say no, I will still accept the deal as have tried my best so no regret. But with the guanxi in place, most likely the SE/boss will say yes lah the most is sort of compromise meeting half-way. I not greedy as must have the best deal in the industry, just about there can already haha. Bo pian you want a reliable PI for smooth buying process, you have to get ready to pay more.

They want you to continue to own a car. Else who is going to contribute to ARF, customs duties and GST. It is a substantial amount of revenue. What they want to restrict and charge is the usage. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But CnC margin 2x of PI or maybe even higher. So in the end no difference. CnC owners will go back to AD for servicing, that is where they earn the most.
