Think thats the luxury trim one. Managed to get a test drive today for both the 2 & 3 at the bukit timah branch. Was told that all the stocks for April delivery have sold out [jawdrop] even book now earliest delivery will be in May [:p]

 

i wonder if it's a marketing strategy... i think i ever heard from a PI last yr dat M3 stocks will only be in SG around mid yr...

 

btw, i do hope dat the price will drop since all the while it's pricing has been comparable wif Mit Lancer... eh, am i correct? [laugh]

errr....i believe its always a few k more than what u see in the papers.

 

usually they say "starting from $xxxx" and if you go down you find that its usually for manual version, with zero accessories.

of course.

 

what i trying to tell him is to compare apples to apples cos the price that was quoted for m3 comes with more accessories and is auto version. so he should compare lancer auto add a few k for higher cc and accessories then - bingo, theoretically lancer 1.6 did not hit below 70k also.

I think for the price of 76+ k for the basic sedan model is acceptable and not too highly priced.

 

Taking into account the higher OMV and the fact that it is a newer design /model and the made in japan tag, the comparison with the Altis 1.6 would show that perhaps it commands a premium of 1-2k more.

 

As for the price coming down in the next few months.. difficult to see that happening with all the backlog of cars waiting to be delivered, the COE should be coming up. When this happens the pricing for most cars would rise including the Mazda 3.

 

Just my 2cts...

Yup true that the advertisement starts from a certain amount and is usually basic without any accssoeries.

 

But the basic M3 cost ard $77k. So it's still much more expensive even if the basic Lancer is an auto.

And you can even get a second hand Lancer ... 1 yr old and 4 months at barely 52k.

Really???! Wow, the cheapest 2nd hand car i managed to find when I was looking around was a 2 yr old Mazda 323 at 58k [:p]
