Achtung 6th Gear May 20, 2009 Share May 20, 2009 I am wondering, are admin fees or football fees or whatever u call it... are they still in 'fashion'? If so, then it makes buying a 2nd hand car more costly. Admin fees lar, lagi transfer fees, lagi higher loan interest etc ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, then it makes buying a 2nd hand car more costly. Admin fees lar, lagi transfer fees, lagi higher loan interest etc Admin fees is bull....... they earn enough from your loan and sale of car and if you trade in your car, they will earn from it too..... never have paid admin fees and never will pay....... unless no loan and no car trade in but even then they will sell you the car at higher price thus there still should not be any admin fees.

Eyke Supercharged May 20, 2009 Share May 20, 2009 don't bother with watever fee. just ask them put down in writing what you need to pay, watever donkey/monkey fee included, then see whether you like the final numbers or not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrianli Hypersonic May 20, 2009 Share May 20, 2009 I dont think there are anymore of such fees, otherwise, just walk away from the deal. When I got my car, I just gave my SE a S$10 ang bao and his assistant SE(understudy) S$2 ang bao. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caravan 5th Gear May 20, 2009 Share May 20, 2009 Bought a 2nd hand car recently, no admin fee or extra fee. Paid exactly what I negotiated for. This kind of thing depends on the dealer probably. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drumstick Clutched May 20, 2009 Share May 20, 2009 Surely, u gotta bear the xfer fee right? Not necessary Sometimes is already lup inside the whole package. Buy in price and sell out price for 2nd hand dealers can have difference as low as 4k. Thats their buffer....but if lucky they buy in lower and sell higher, thats their profit.
