  1. If I buy a converted 2nd hand OPC (Reg 2006), will I still get back any PARF rebate when I scrap the car after COE expires? For example, the car was initially a OPC and the owner had converted it to a normal car after 5 years, then decided to sell it. 1st to 5th year - OPC 6th year - Normal plate 7th year - Sell If I buy it on the 7th year and drive it until COE expires, how much PARF value will I get back, assuming OMV is 10K?
  2. ok this is not the hand and the shaking you are thinking about..... [laugh] what do you think? billionaires has it advantage? even Obabma has to do this
  3. Hi guys... hoping you could help answer some of the points raised by my colleagues were having lunch when the hot topic on cars popped up again. the younger colleagues are really keen to get a car now so they bombarded me with tonnes of questions but some I could not answer - hope to find some help here. 1) How to ensure the dealer won't take my money and run road? 2) After bank loan approved, how to ensure dealer will transfer the car to me (like what happened recently)? 3) How to ensure the dealer fully settle my car before I transfer the car to him? (I suggested bringing cashier's order to the bank.... am I right? Have done this before) thanks a lot
  4. As the above subject, any forummers knows where I can get one. Thanks in advance

  10. Hi all, Just wanted to know everyone's views on the new lemon law and how it affects the 2nd hand car market. I am planning to buy my first car and postponed it till the lemon law was passed on 1st September. Has anyone experienced any price increase because of this? Has anyone made any complains or claims against dealers yet? Please share your views. Cheers!
  11. if you are considering buying pre-owned cars from 2nd hand car dealers, do be very careful of dealers who will tamper with the odometers to con you of the condition of the cars. i think it'll be a good idea to start a thread to help members & viewers keep a lookout or avoid these dishonest chaps! i am starting the ball rolling... avoid Auto Arena @ Turf City!! i am driving a car they sold me last mth (odometer displayed 46000+km) but after doing a detailed search, saw this car up for auction by GE Money... & guess what? mileage advertised by GE Money was 68000+km!?
  12. Ok, let's say you just set your sights on one particular model from a certain year. Then you browse SGCarmart and see a list of them, all different prices, but OMV/COE roughly the same. And I would think the prices advertised are marked up already. So if you are keen on one, how do you arrive at the offer price? - is it like some % off the advertised price - is it like at least some $1000 off the advertised price - or simply base on what loan you comfortable with and set the price - but then, this may not be the best price??
  13. Anyone has any idea what is their cleaning process? All these second hand cars at the merc and BMW preowned showrooms smell like brand new cars!
  14. Hi all, My 8 years old mazda 3's aircon compressor is not working (according to workshop) and since only 2 more years to go, I am thinking of replacing a second hand compressor. Any bro can advise any good and cheap workshop? All reply is highly appreciated. Thanks.
  15. Hi all If I were to trade in my honda civic 1.8A, reg dec 2007 (saw prices about $56k-58k), what would be a worthwhile 2nd hand vehicle in its place in the current market? I saw a few toyota allions which are not really my taste. Aside from Japanese vehicles, is a 2nd Audi worth looking into right now? Thanks for suggestions.
  16. Hi guys. I'm new here. Have never ventured into ICE all my car ownership life because I personally like things "original" and "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." But anyway, I just bought a 2nd hand Mazdz2. The ex-owner had an ICE installed from I don't know where... (suspect JB - brand of speakers "Soundstream") which I thought sounded absolutely horrible, worse than my stock ICE in a BMW which was already bad enough... and he claimed he spent nearly $2,000 on them! 1. PROBLEMS When I got the car the RIGHT tweeter had NO sound, or was weak and cracking. And at volume "2", the ICE was already quite loud! So basically, 0 = off, 1=on, 2=loud, 3=damn bloody loud, 4=inhumanely loud. So the first thing I did was to look under the seats at the amp... 2. AMP AND WIRING HORROR What a terrible job!!! The amps were not secured and there wasn't much slack in the wiring (which is bad for the wires). The amp was also in the way of the rear passenger's legroom. As I fiddled with the fader and balance, I found out that the amps had left/right and front/back wired wrongly. From here, I'm already thinking to myself - what else was wired wrongly? Maybe +/- also reverse, who knows?! 3. AMP GAIN + LPF HORROR There were two amps. One Sony amp for the components, and another (I forgot the brand) amp for the sub. I found out the component amp had gains turned up to the MAX which resulted in a buzzing noise from the working left tweeter. I fixed the gain and swapped a few incorrectly wired cables. The I found out the sub amp LPF was turned OFF which resulted in horrible hums from the sub. I turned it ON, tweaked the LPF frequencies, set the gain (which was at MAX also?!). I sat down and "enjoyed" some music for the next 1 day. After tweaking the gains, LPF, it was much more bearable but I must say the tweeter suck! It's too loud (vs. the components) that I had the high frequencies right in my face and it was very uncomfortable to listen to. Wife also didn't like the "spider" emblem on the tweeter. So I started venturing into removing the tweeter... 4. TWEETER CABLING HORROR So I removed the scuff plate and some interior panels to reveal the hidden tweeter wiring and this is where I started to see some of the UGLY cabling job. The tweeters had nice high quality cables soldered to them, but right under the dash it was twisted together with cheap cables that seemed like stock cables that the car came with and then black-taped all over making the cable all yucky and sticky. I cut the cables, removed the tweeters... Me digging for tweeter cabling... *** INTERMISSION *** P.S. Although I have a seemingly simple 2-way hi-fi at home, I am no car ICE expert. But I must say I am a computer engineer, and I totally HATE terrible cabling jobs and this 2nd hand car has opened up my eyes to one of the worst cabling jobs I've witnessed in a car...
  17. http://www.sgcarmart.com/used_cars/info.ph...385&DL=2487 for the above 2nd hand civic, can i say the tail-light will definitely fail inspection? quite interested but i think quite troublesome to have to source for original tail-light when it comes to inspection next year.
  18. Hello fellow MCF-ers, This question has been bugging me for some time now. And so..my gf decides that she wants to buy a car..but we can't decide whether to buy brand new or 2nd hand (prefably 2yrs old). Cars we are looking at 1) Hyundai i30 (brand new) $116,000 2) Honda Jazz (2nd hand - 2010) $7x,000 3) Honda Fit (2nd hand - 2008-2010) $5x,000-$7x,000 - 3) Toyota Rush (2nd hand -2007) < This one abit too old and super overpriced. Kinda against this..no warranty + parts will start to chu pattern from this age. - $4x,000 - $5x,000 Current promo for i30 is $11x,000 and we get to have 5yr warranty etc...brand new car etc.. 2nd hand Jazz, going for 7x,000 for 2010 model..well..overpriced in this market and have to deal with buggy 2nd hand dealers who ask for admin fee etc..dont want to bargain price etc.. Monthly installment wise, we are comfortable with the i30 actually, if full loan for 10yrs (yes i know suicidal!) monthly is $11xx 2nd hand jazz will go about $9xx if full loan. We also want to future proof this "new" car incase a baby pops out like Mr Gay. :) so must be baby and family friendly. Oh btw, she would die for a BMW 1series which we saw last week. Is it worth it for a brand new car?? Any inputs?
