  1. From being able to get behind the wheel of your dream car as soon as possible to enjoying a worry-free motoring experience, there are many reasons why you might opt to lease a car.

  2. Today's ST shows an article on latest leasing program from Prime. Typical structure is only pay 10% dp, and pay an amount monthly, which includes Insurance, road tax. U drive for 5 years, if u don't like the car, can return to Prime and lease another new car. If u like the car, then can buy it. ST shared this customer leasing the new Honda Vezel. She paid 10% dp of its price, and monthly payment of $1688, includes insurance and road tax, for 5 years. And I think Prime also covers the regular maintenance. Is this worth? I compared this Honda vezel leasing with buying the same car. Monthly payment of Honda vezel after 50% dp is about $1100+, excluding insurance and road tax. Looks like this leasing Program is workable.

  6. I saw in another thread which I can't find that you could lease an Elantra for S$576 per month or something near that. I went to Hyundai in Alexander RD and asked then the leasing price and was told S$1000 plus. I was also at the car show in Expo today where the lease cost for the Elantra was given as S$1000 plus. I was interested in the price of S$576 so if anyone can confirm or otherwise or point me to the thread I'd appreciate it.
  7. Hi all, Appreciate if anyone can recommend me a good and reliable car leasing company; I am looking for a car for mid-to-long term lease. Thanks, Musigny
  8. Hi all, With regards to Leasing vs Buying, what are your opinions on them ? which is better and why? Thanks in advance.
  9. Most used-car dealers and small motor firms Channel NewsAsia spoke to are not jumping on the car leasing bandwagon, despite bigger players getting in on the act since the authorities imposed borrowing limits on vehicle purchases. They cite high costs of running a leasing business and unfamiliarity with how to do it as reasons. Still, a few are eyeing the business model as an alternative to car sales. Car leasing schemes are a mid-point between short-term rental and ownership, where you typically hold on to a vehicle for over a year and pay a monthly fee to use it. The car goes back to the leasing company after that. Not being stuck with a depreciating asset like a vehicle has drawn people to the scheme, plus the fact that a sizeable downpayment isn't needed. The government's imposition of loan curbs means buyers have to foot a minimum 40 per cent downpayment for vehicle purchases. Observers have noted that car leasing is one way of beating the curbs. Others call it an option. Eddie Ho, general manager of Sime Darby Services, said: "It's not a way to beat the government's system but it's just another alternative for motorists to consider, because there's no way we can beat the system. "Ultimately, leasing...to me is like another dish on the menu for the companies to sell." Not all motor firms are keen on leasing, since much of the onus falls on the leasing company to keep leased vehicles in order. Many companies simply don't have the resources to do it. Still, some plan to capitalise on the opportunity. CarTimes Automobile plans to starts a leasing arm in June 2013 while Yong Lee Seng Motor has been dabbling with leasing for around three years. Raymond Tang, Yong Lee Seng's director, said: "The difficulty of doing it is that a lot of follow-up, a lot of support you need to give to these consumers. Or else, the consumers will not be happy...what happens if the car breaks down in the middle of the night? You must have workshop support." Observers note that the government's "car-cooling" measures have shifted more attention to the leasing business, although it has been around in Singapore for over a decade.

  14. By Wong Siew Ying | Posted: 24 April 2012 CNA SINGAPORE: Leasing demand for residential properties in Singapore remained robust in the first two months of this year as transactions hovered above 3,000 each month, according to Savills Research. Its data showed that there were 3,446 leasing transactions in February 2012, down 5 percent on-month. But Savills said February's transactions were still higher than the 2,767 transactions recorded a year ago. Based on deals closed by Savills, the average rent for studio apartments and one-bedroom units was S$6.21 per square foot per month in Q1 2012. Savills said selected small-format units were seen fetching attractive rents, particularly for the centrally-located properties. These included a 600-square-foot unit at The Suites at Central along Devonshire Road, which was rented for S$5,000 per month. It was followed by two 592-square-foot units at Martin Place Residences along Martin Road, which were let at S$4,200 per month. By square footage, the highest rent was for a 458-square-foot studio apartment at Iluminaire on Devonshire which was rented at S$8.73 per square foot per month. Savills said rents were equally attractive among the smallest units. Three 334-square-foot units at Prestige Heights along Balestier Road were let for between S$2,200 and S$2,450 per month or between S$6.40 and S$7.34 per square foot per month. Based on data released by the Urban Redevelopment Authority, island-wide median rents of all non-landed properties, excluding executive condominiums, continued to rise to S$3.53 per square foot per month in February, increasing 1 percent on-month and 8 percent on-year. Savills said the leasing transaction value for the first two months has reached S$35 million, 15 percent higher than the previous year. The average monthly rent of high-end non-landed residential properties tracked by Savills was S$5.17 per square foot per month in Q1 2012, dipping 2 percent on-quarter. On a year-on-year basis, prime rents fell 5 percent from S$5.45 per square foot per month in Q1 2011. Savills added that with a continual relocation of expatriates from troubled economies in the West, leasing demand continues to strengthen in Singapore, putting greater upward pressure on rents. - CNA/al

  22. COMPANIES which offer financially strapped car owners a way out - by taking over their vehicles to be used as rentals - are sprouting. It makes good business sense for the dozen or so firms, which advertise their services online - they avoid the huge capital outlay of acquiring their own car fleet. On the surface, it looks like a good deal for the car owners too. Many of them cannot sell their cars due to their huge loans and the fall in car prices in recent years. The 'rental' firms pay them a monthly fee for their cars, often enough to cover their loan instalments. But there is a catch - a costly one. It is illegal to rent your car out this way. If something happens to the car while it is hired out, there may not be any insurance cover. If it is stolen, insurers may not pay up. A check by The Straits Times found several advertisements on a website, efair.com.sg, targeting individuals who cannot quite afford the car they bought. An ad by Xtreme Car Rental read: 'Having problems to upkeep your current car? Wanted (sic) to sell away car but can't sell due to huge cash top-up?I can solve all your problems and I have help (sic) a lot of car owners.' Another promised to not only take care of monthly instalments, but also give 'cash rebates'.All the owner needed to do was to leave the car with it, a 'licensed car rental company in Singapore'. One ad by a Mr Ricky Soh was more direct: 'Are you having any difficulties in servicing your monthly instalment? No worries! Do e-mail me your car model, monthly instalment...and we can work it out for you.' What these firms are doing is against Land Transport Authority (LTA) rules. 'Private car owners are not allowed to rent out their cars through rental companies,' its spokesman said. They had to do so on their own - and only at certain times and on particular days of the week. The LTA cracked down on six cases each in 2005 and 2006 and on 11 last year. There have already been six cases in the first four months of this year. Both car owners and rental firms face fines of up to $1,000, jail terms of up to three months or both. Car owners also risk a driving ban of up to 12 months. Despite the penalties, trade sources say the practice is widespread. 'There are a lot of cases which go unreported,' said Mr Peter Chong, president of the Vehicle Rental Association, which represents over 30 rental firms controlling most of the rental fleet here. Firms operating illegally do not need huge capital outlays to start up a fleet. They can reach out to consumers on a tight budget because they offer lower rates. Mr Chong said that since many of these cars were not registered as rental cars, hirers may have no insurance cover in an accident. 'I've come across cases where insurers refuse to pay up because the vehicle was not a rental car,' he said. 'That's the danger.' The LTA said it takes a serious view of illegal rentals, and is 'consistently taking action against those who fail to comply with the law''.
