Owning a G-Plate vehicle

[Gentoro]

Dear All,

 

Pardon me for being a newbies in here. I intend to buy a g-plate vehicle and i was told to take a look here. I believe there a plenty of newbies before me that ask this before.

 

My reason for intention to buy: For my father, It has been my life long wish to give him a car or vehicle as present.

 

Presently, he's working at a fish port (jurong). He love a double cab pick-up truck or a diesel van. I also own a bike for my own transport. I just hope to make my old dad happy!

 

Situations:

 

1) I asked my friend who is in a car resale line, he told me that as long I sign up a undertaking forms, I can own a pick-up "G-plate". But the fact is that he doesn't have any g-plate vehicle left. SO i have to out source.

 

2) Saw this adver on newspaper, Proton Arena only 30k+. Went to proton sales at teban garden for a look. Salesman blur blur, say cannot buy unless company registered. I ask him about any undertaking forms, he can he will check it up. Days have passed, no contact from the salesman.

 

3)I tried to search the LTA web but no avail.

 

I was just hoping any one out here own a G-plate vehicle and how to go about getting one. I hope to fulfill my dad's wish and find a G-plate which I can afford at about $400+ a month. Downpay can be negiotiated. Please help.

Must be registered to a company or business, cannot be registered to an individual.

 

Call up 1800-CALL-LTA. Ask them for the "Goods vehicle" registration form.

 

Unless you really need a goods vehicle, consider either a 2nd-hand car, or a double-cab pick-up; a 2nd hand doubecab with 5 yrs left should be around $500/month (diesel, lower road taxes as well).

 

Good luck.

Hi there, i am also pondering getting a commercial vehicle but got this question bugging me. The sales engineer did mentioned about looking at the company's bank statement, what if i dont have a company's bank account??? Please advised. Thank you.

if thats wad he wans, look for another sales man, cos they are always hunting for business,

If urs is a newly set up business and needs commercial vehicle, where to find a bank statment and trade? they will be a ways to get the loan approve without ur income and bank statment.

imho if you haf to register a company just to buy a G-plate vehicle,did you know that after you haf a company,you will need to file Income Tax return yearly,I find its not a wise move,

for your info and consideration.
