13177 Supersonic September 12, 2017 Share September 12, 2017 Once took an uber attrage with 98k km on odometer. SLF plate. Think even if got servicing and warranty package only cover ti'll 100k km. I always wonder how come uber cars mileage so high like taxis? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kusje Supersonic September 12, 2017 Share September 12, 2017 Should have some low mileage one la. My six months driving Uber I only did 25,000km. LOL. Uh, 25kkm? You lost money doing uber? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lotr8445r 5th Gear September 12, 2017 Share September 12, 2017 (edited) 9 year old car how to compare to 1 year old car. 9 year old car all the plastic rubber all gone case already. No need to say all the consumables. The rubber and plastic gone case because it is 9 years old. Don't equate 100k on odo as 9 years old car. A car can go up to 100k in 1 year and all the hose plastic part still in good condition. A 10k mileage car park under the sun for 9 years also can be damage inside even though the tyres thread still got 70%. Please have some knowledge before you comment. Are u using your common sense or you work in a reliability department in an automotive industry? Do you know how we run test to qualify the reliability of component in car? Do u think we run test for 10 years to see the result or conduct acceleration test so that we can know the result earlier? 7 year cover 100K km of a family car vs travelling 100k km within a year like a uber car is a different story. The uber car is subject to prolong usage under extreme temperature, every components got ground until no juice everyday, comparing it with a family car which is driven under normal condition is very different. Of cause the 1 year old used Uber car probably wont break down so soon but the unusual wear and tear will surface probably fairly quickly . I could be wrong .Precisely. If not, even a taxi can last more than 10 years then. Why need to scrap earlier Edited September 12, 2017 by Lotr8445r Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaiyotakamli Supersonic September 12, 2017 Share September 12, 2017 Like 1 used car dealer told me before : high mileage car doesn't mean no good. In fact, high mileage car is good because it shows it able to withstand high usage... Sales talk...Nvr say how many times breakdown? Lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your rational is pretty reasonable for static parts that sees a constant temperature(ie park under the sun). these parts mostly you can still drive even if they fail. Not for parts that are rotating, compressed, stretched or static parts that constantly undergo thermal shock. Unfortunately, these are parts that deteriorate with use(mileage) and mostly you will have issues with the drive if they fail. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andyngps 5th Gear September 12, 2017 Share September 12, 2017 Yes, Singapore is a magical land. I know a magician in the industry. His specialty trick is making those miles disappear. And i heard its $50 to perform the magic only. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matrix0405 5th Gear September 12, 2017 Share September 12, 2017 When LCR buy the cars, they are usually 'barebone/lowest spec'. Those they bought from PI have no warranty. Unless price is attractive, avoid. How is the used car market? Are used cars still more expensive than new cars, higher depreciation? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCTP 6th Gear September 12, 2017 Share September 12, 2017 Actually take attrage for example. How do they wanna price their cars? Now C&C selling at 69k for brand new model. Those LCR attrage were bought when coe was 50k plus. Even selling at paper valueaybe only slightly cheaper than a brand new car. But at the end of the day, somehow sure got people buy one.

Precisely. If not, even a taxi can last more than 10 years then. Why need to scrap earlier Precisely - taxi already have engine swap when is 3-4 years old.

Adrianli Hypersonic September 13, 2017 Share September 13, 2017 If I want a car and not much cash. If these cars are cheap, I will grab. Simi high mileage, simi barebones, simi no leather seat, etc......... I wouldnt care. I just want a car to go from point A to B. I sat in worst state of cars driven by my frens. The carpet was never cleaned from the day the car was collected. Or whole window or interior full of cartoon stickers. It doesnt bother them at all. Even all four tyres different make also they dont care. Oil change is when got time or money than do one. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ct3833 Supersonic September 13, 2017 Share September 13, 2017 (edited) While there have been talks about PHV companies having rental cars in excess, the growth rate of rental cars extracted from LTA website shows otherwise. The net growth is still quite substantial though the % do have some slow down. Edited September 13, 2017 by Ct3833 ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
