I bought a PI car before, Axio. I think company was good but salesman no good. It was from Tan Wei Auto.

 

Was promised by salesman have current stock and by deepavali can get car. In the end, get car days before CNY.

 

 

I recommend my fren to them who bought a ready stock with chassis number available, within a week get car, Freed.

Thanks for the info bro. But from their list, don't have the model I want.

 

Deepavali and CNY is almost 3 months, u waited so long?

Just be careful, if a PI has intention to cheat before packing up, they can provide the same serial to 10 other customers also.

I had a good experience with Vincar.  That was the only time I bought a car from a PI.  Straightforward deal, no fuss, COE bidded and obtained first bid even though it was non-guaranteed and car delivered earlier than promised.  Even refunded me the "un-used" portion of road tax, which is not the usual practice.  Also helped me to get a refund on the remaining period left of my insurance.

Insider news, avoid buying from any PI. More to come. Dont PM me which PI. Thank you :)

 

Insider news, COE / property prices/ shares prices going to come down soon. Don't ask me when they coming down. 

I'm not a god , but the day will come.

$1 drop is still a drop anyway. [;)]

 

Please la, don't say something that everyone will know la.

It's simply just say scammer is going to prey on Singaporean soon.

If you really know which PI, why not share here and bring awareness to everyone.

Don't simply act like you know everything !

AD also no guarantee .. I was a victim to AutoAsia, AD for kia some 20yrs back .. amt lost $10k .. LLST ... I have also bought 3 cars from PI before.. from more reputable PIs ... fortunately all delivered.

 

SG laws simply don't protect buyers like us, which I find ridiculous ... more could have been done. But I guess gov will never act unless there's a outbreak of -ve news like the SLS phone saga ...  [thumbsdown]

Negative. Government will only act when there is

 

1. Potential loss of votes and seats in general election

 

2. Money to be made from protecting consumers

 

3. Own interest/people in car trade business
