  1. I am considering between these few cars for purchase in 2015. Mercedes-Benz E-Class Saloon BMW 5 Series Sedan Audi A6 Audi A5 Sportback Can bros here tell me which one you'll recommend and why? Important to me is : 1) driverability. ie, handling and power must be good. 2) as little maintenance problems as possible. I hate to go to the workshops to repair stuff, even if they are minor. Very time-wasting.
  2. Interesting https://www.facebook.com/streetfx/videos/10156312015350112/
  3. I thought it would be good to compile a list of to do before purchase Sort of a sharing and paying back to the forum Those that have additional infor, feel free to add 1. Check out how much you can loan. Yes, there are times when you "feel" you can meet the monthly payment, but then , the bank thinks otherwise. Lets not debate in dubious ways like overstating sales agreement and "football" payment. Yu may also want to check out the citiloan assist and there are good rates to be gotten for new cars. just be aware there will be some work on your part to be done so a good sales person is required. You are ideally cutting out the sales person comm of 800 to 1000 dollars on average. If like most, you have a condo loan or a condo is on the horizon, BUY condo FIRST as that will also hit your loan for the Condo. 2. check out which credit card is having a promotion for that month. a 10000 to 20000 down payment by card can gain you a lot of rebate / cashback. 3. Forecasting COE is as good as buying 2 coconut to point to the sky to contact your MP for tips on COE increase or not. Be aware that the 6 bids and top up only helps to lock you in on the down payment . Your choice of cars that you could have gotten IF it rise can be quite disappointing. imagine you book a 1.5L car and because of the top up, you would have being buying a 1.6L car as compare to the car at that point in time where you put ink to paper. 4. New car launches as they say early bird gets the worm. Can be as good at 6 K off. Cars that are in stock in that configuration would get you better discount. BUT note that lime green and orange coulors will be sticking with you way long after many CNY is over. So have to take the color that you like. But that's me. 5. Event cars maybe cheap, but its also DUMB specs. The savings may negate the fact that when selling, you are also getting lower resale. WHY ? 2nd hand car dealers has a list of specs that they note down. so things like a normal car sold with all the bells and whistle vs a dump down version will very quickly be identified by the second hand car dealers. Bi xenon head lights and LED are one example and IF its a second owner car, its even worst. So be careful not to be happy to have a 4K discount and getting short change in the end. As the saying goes, the devil is in the details. 6. Getting a pre own may not be so bad. Do note that the 6 - 9 months old car is normally 30 - 45 K different . You not buying a car from NTUC. So bargain away. Do check the TnC. 7. Check out the various insurance as that is also a big unknown. It varies and if you can ask on your own, the savings are as large as 300 to 400. Do note that the Sales will not be happy, so you have to check with the sales on what is the final price without loan and insurance. As the loan interest rate can varies do not be mistaken that its 1% different only. Car loan interest is very different from how other loans are calculated. ITS a lot of MONEY. Those that think otherwise can try out the apps on the SGCARMART to have a taste of the delta of 1% for 50K loan for 5 years. If its easy peasy lemon queezy, then good for you. 8. Do check when the YOM is. we are in 2015. If you still getting 2014 or earlier, there are insurance implication when it comes to fair market value. Do also check when you will be registering the car. If you register in dec 31 vs 2 Jan, your resale value can be as different as 4k to 6 K when its time to sell. ************ This is not exhaustive and as money is involved, those that buy do note of the risk that you take base on my insights
  4. https://youtu.be/MWeLATbd7OY While waiting for traffic to clear before going into parallel parking lot, this Audi SKN8586U started reversing to the lot despite sounding my horn and left indicator light. I moved slightly forward and sounded my horn continuously to warn him off. He opened his car doored and signalled for me to move back! WTF! Then he purposely bump his car into my stationary car before moving forward. He got out of his car and expects me to move back for him to park. Told him I'm waiting for traffic to clear and he started scolding me. After he went back to his car, he opened his door and shouted for me to go back to China. LOL. I am a true blue Singaporean born and educated in Singapore. These are the westerners who think they own the world!

  6. Audi of America has released a new commercial for the new TT and they believe that the TT is capable of making your imagination a reality. Directed by Mouse McCoy and produced by the Bandito Brothers, the commerical, “Audi TT: Reality? Check.” uses the cool tilt-shift photography style to obtain the miniature effect. Yes everything you see in the spot is real! For those who want to see how it is done, there's a little behind-the-scene clip too... https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=86&v=vKW5_dYsd8s https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=154&v=XyOgFi4OG7o
  7. How dare they send my precious Audi to a lowly Nissan workshop for repair! I'm guessing that must be what was going through Mdm Goh's mind when she found out about this. Do you think she will still write this letter if her Audi had ended up in the Rolls Royces workshop for repair? But on a serious note, I wonder what's the reason Audi had to outsource the repair to Nissan. http://www.straitstimes.com/premium/forum-letters/story/my-point-20140619?page=1 Dealer sent car to another workshop I WAS in a car accident on April 2 and immediately sent my car to the Audi workshop for repair. After almost three months, I was told it is still not ready. My husband decided to visit the Audi workshop in Ubi to take a look at the repairs himself. After much insistence, he was finally led to the car workshop. To his horror, my car was actually being repaired at a Nissan workshop. Goh Meow Cheng (Madam)
  8. Please refer to the video footage of your parked car at lot 62 of Towner Rd HDB open-air car park TR1 being reversed into at 6:45pm on 15 Sep 2015 (Tue) by a light green van Toyota Hiace GP5674E driven by a woman in red top: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09vLgKUdaG4[/media I was in a rush so did not manage to stay behind to ensure the offending driver leaves her particulars. Hope she had done so but if not I hope the above footage can aid in your insurance claims. Good luck.
  9. Looks like Audi Headlight is banned. Wonder how possible is it to be accepted https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_CE6-Jxt9HI
  10. Good evening A car hit my stationary parked car at my condo 1) reported to security and asked for visitors vehicles but they Denied as they want to protect visitors privacy - it's quite weird that I am the owner and yet I cannot know who comes to visit in my condo? 2) called the police for assistance. They also refused to help. They said its private property so it's not governed in their jurisdiction to lodge investigation It's amazing how the world has changed this days On the brighter side it's not a major damage. And the world moves on with a Scott free hit and run

  16. A driver drove his 3.2-litre Audi TT for more than 130,000 km without any engine oil change. And this is how it looks like after it finally gave up. According to one of the users from the Audi TDI forum, a couple of pictures of the ruined engine were published in a post and the photos has since floated around the net. It is not known why the owner stopped changing the engine oil but it is almost a certain that the engine has to be replaced. For Audi TT owners out there who have the 3.2-litre VR6 engine which outputs around 246bhp, it should pretty comforting to know that your engine can take some real abuse!

    Audi Q7 FC

    Hi guys, got my new ride 2 weeks ago. Just finished 1k kms. Wondering if other Q7/Other SUV bros can share their FC in Sg's stop/start traffic. My avg is only 6.5 but I'm hoping it'll start improving as I started more expressway driving.
  18. Just saw the ad for the A4 1.8T for 159K. Seems cheaper then a Passat. Wonder how much lower can the other distributor go down to.
  19. Fascination no figures can express The mighty eight-cylinder engine in the new Audi S5 is closely related to the high-revving mid-mounted engine of the new Audi R8 sports car. To suitably match the character of the grand tourer, in the S5 it develops 260 kW (354 bhp) at 7,000 rpm. This is combined with an extremely flat torque curve: the maximum torque of 440 Nm is already available from 3,500 rpm. But more importantly, at only 2,000 rpm drivers already have 85 percent of the full torque at their disposal. The effect is sheer exhilaration: no matter at what engine speed the driver presses the accelerator, the A5 charges forward with breathtaking pace. Back to the figures: sprinting from stationary the S5 reaches the 100 km/h mark in 5.1 seconds, and in just 19.1 seconds it breaks through the 200 km/h barrier. As a matter of form, we should note that the top speed is governed to 250 km/h. However, no measurement can truly convey the outstanding free-revving character, the instant response, the continuous power build-up or the thrilling sound of the eight-cylinder engine. High-performance in a compact form This V8 with a displacement of 4,163 cm3 belongs to Audi
  20. According to Instagram user 'dreboog', what you see here might be the new Audi R8. In his post, he mentions that the scoop was from an anonymous Audi insider that had access to the car. Set to be officially revealed at next month's Geneva Motor Show, it is likely the above photo is the real deal and not some well executed new body kit job. Don’t believe? You might want to look at some of the spy videos of the upcoming R8 going through the Nürburgring and spot the similar design cues! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDUAtZHP8-s
  21. Hi guys, Found this rim on OZ Racing's website. They looks quite good in my opinion! Anyone got this rim can share your opinion or know where and how much i can get these in singapore? http://www.ozracing.com/car_wheels_var/OZ%20Racing/25182/I%20-%20TECH/FORMULA%20HLT%205H/563462.aspx

  23. It was an upscale mall at orchard No drop off only taxi stand. It was drizzling but not raining. So of course traffic police could rebut and say that it's not heavy rain so my mom doesn't need shelter I feel scared of driving now
