Can't figure out why there would be so many cars that are only 1 or 2 months old on sale by PI, is it safe to consider such cars? Or is this just a gimmick to draw customers? You contact them and did they say the car is still available or they want to up sell you a new car cause the used one already sold off? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a result of the sgcarmart advertising policy - for used cars you can advertised till sold. I guess if advertised as new cars, it would cost more. So those "used cars" ads can be posted forever for $58 or cheaper. Most are brand new (not the actual cars advertised, but same model and trim). Speaking from recent experience. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So see the mileage if below 100 that means brand new pi unit 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cars and stars alot of FB averts a few months back with too good to be true prices. The "guaranteed" COE is a misnomer cause it's always capped at a few k below the prevailing rates.

Meaning they don get in the first bid? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowshaun 4th Gear March 1, 2022 Share March 1, 2022 Eg. COE now is 60k but their "gauranteed" COE bid is only up to 55k. I presume if you want to get the car u need to top up later. I just stay away when got this kind of pattern. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

yellowshaun 4th Gear March 1, 2022 Share March 1, 2022 You can try and wait for them to try to bid 6 times see if you can get. If get good, if dont get then u got the new COE price 3 months later to consider... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard some PIs would not bid as they would wait until the COE prices come down. Hence, look at the contract carefully and ask for add-on writing on the contract if necessary. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
