In view high COE, would you buy a pre-0wned Mercedes ?

In view of today's high COE, for a slight higher depreciation, would you buy a pre-owned Mercedes ?

[Camrysfa]

haha....

i look at the merc series and have a rough gauge of the price. e.g. E200 shld be ard 200k.

that was before the coe went mental.

 

buying a pre-owned merc may not be a problem, the scary part is the upkeep...ordinary ah tan will not be be able to tahan.

[FocusWagon]

You are paying inflated price for a valueless coe (less than 20k)

 

If coe goes south, those that bought new still have high paper value suporting them. Those who bought inflated used, will have to drop their pants

[Escksu]

No money don't but Merc.... Simple as that.

[Angcheek]

Im also thinking of getting a 2nd merc ........

[Deckbuild]

Those e200k and e200ml are worth the money if u drive till scrape.

So very true.

But many do not believe that Coe will ever drop, so this outcome is cast aside.

But in theory, the second hand car buyers are paying the same depreciation as a new car, but holding a lower Coe paper value.

First hand merc FFA. Always been that

[Soya]

errr....simi FFA?

[Jaglim]

Pre owned at higher depreciation? I thought the reason for getting pre owned is to enjoy a lower depre.?

Agreed, maybe easy to buy a merc but confirmed not easy to maintain a merc. Heard everytime servicing of a merc need to pay at least few hundred dollars!

You heard wrongly, bro....Merc is not ex to maintain.

[Nemo6089]

Some friends says that merc is cheap to upkeep, but petrol consumption is high, is it true?

[Luckcent]

Not true.
