Kia Motors policy

[Winniethepooh]

hi all

 

i'm planning to get a kia sportage, but all this coe bidding and price manipulation is really getting me confused. anyone knows what kia motors's (the one at leng kee) policy is regarding direct purchase at quoted price as opposed to going for bidding?

 

they quoted $71499 for immediate registration (valid up to next tuesday 5 april). as i suspect the coe prices will go down next bidding since it is only 1 week after the last one, i intend to book next thursday (after the next bidding closes). if the coe falls by 2k during the next bidding, will i get it at 2k less than the current price?

u better ask your SE.

[Winniethepooh]

i spoke to 2 different ones and they tell me different things!

[Cheekg99]

if you not rushing for cars, no need to get gurantee COE

[Nerd_on_wheels]

Let the Need and the Want make the choice of when to sign the papers. But i never expect the price of a kia sportage to be that of the civic. competition is indeed fierce

[Winniethepooh]

that's where the confusion comes - at first, they say i have to pay extra $3k for guaranteed coe. now they say they are waiving that extra $3k. one even tells me i can book now - if the next coe price goes up, i pay the current price. if the coe price goes down, i pay the new and LOWER price. can that be true???? or SE B***S***

[Winniethepooh]

yeah. it went from $76k to $72 and now $71488!

[Cheekg99]

v easy, make sure they document it down when u sign on the dotted line

Looks like you are among recent few who spotted this extremely good buy. Heard current stock of Sportage are all booked. And bad news is increasingly more people notices this outstanding SUV selling only at prices of typical 1.6 saloons. Naturally, Leng Kee raises the price even with falling COE. Personally, it worth beyond $80k, disregarding the negative market sentiments on Korean cars.

 

Maybe you can ask for non-guaranteed bid and probably save some $$$.

Congrats on your potential buy, but do be warned that the Sportage is a fuel guzzler - 8km/l on average.

 

I know of many Matrix owners who disposed their cars a few months after delivery 'cos of the underpowered drivetrain and excessive fuel consumption

i finally decided on a tucson. in fact, just booked one. it feels much like the sportage, but the SE seems more reliable. i would have bought a vios for its good FC, but i just like SUVs too much

just ask the SE to write it down in vlack and white on the contract loh

[Gamax]
