My uncle drives one and another disadvantage is cannot enter some MSCP. Sometimes he sends us to town area but got to park elsewhere as the bus can't enter the carpark. Even normal HDB carparks not all can enter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TVT Supercharged August 4, 2014 Share August 4, 2014 I also saw one on a private plate SKE... Yalor, I saw a few before, all private "S" plates. So register it under your own name shouldn't be a problem lah can collect money from people when driving to town [lipsealed] best is buy toyota brand one mercs brand one, the parts more expensive but hey mercs one looks really good! the toyota one not as look good Toyota you mean the Hiace minibus type with a high roof? That one has its engine below the driver seat and drives like a van. Viano has the engine in front, and drives more like a MPV. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atankh 1st Gear August 4, 2014 Share August 4, 2014 Buy under PA plate u only can buy the extra long version. HDB carpark $185 per month but no guarantee will sell u the lot as HDB considered it under heavy vehicle. Insurance should be around 3.5 k and u are not allowed to park in HDB mscp as the vehicle is over 2 tons. No worries about servicing or repair as there are few 3rd party workshop who can do it cheaper and better then C&C with no need to leave the vehicle in the workshop for few days.

Atankh 1st Gear August 4, 2014 Share August 4, 2014 For private plate the road tax per year is $2238 but u only can buy the long version but HDB car park is the same as normal car. The new V class will be launching soon to replace the Viano so now C&C have special offer to offload the Viano for private plate registration.

So register it under your own name shouldn't be a problem lah Toyota you mean the Hiace minibus type with a high roof? That one has its engine below the driver seat and drives like a van. Viano has the engine in front, and drives more like a MPV. But I think the Hiace can sit more people and I feel it is still quite comfortable inside. For the passengers I felt not much of a difference. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
