mycarforum: 2014 Mazda 3 part 39

Not a must but planning to sell.
A bit hard pain after seeing savings drop.
Well of course i wont sell at lost.
If lost i rather use it.
I see if i can sell higher then the money can motivate me to take public transport.

I never aware of that, cannot find any detail.
But i saw a lot of dealer selling the less than 6 months old cars

�

the rule is first 3 months cannot transfer (sell) and 4th to 6th month transfer need to pay the difference in the coe between the time u sell and your coe.. if coe increase u need to top up the difference...

�

anyway a lot dunno this ruling, even my friend who work as a car SE also dunno.. the sad state of the knowledge of the car SE in singapore..

�

http://www.onemotori...omputation.html

�

but think if your car use CAT E to register then maybe can sell within first 3 months..

and the more impt thing is u really think u can sell without a loss at his COE climate? for me if someone want to sell me a 3 month old mazda, i will discount off min 10k.. no matter how u maintain your car, its a 2nd hand car to me....

Demo. Car got $5k discount. For 3 month car, I will ask at least $10k off. 6 month car, no $15k no talk.

dont make him sad mah.. haha.. actually i was previously looking at a 4 month old car.. owner backside itchy and want to change to another car.. he sell like 10k below the current price but it was 15k below his buying price as coe drop.. i didnt buy and ended up buying a new one instead.. 2nd owner is still 2nd owner.. to me the 1st owner take the bulk of drepr.. thats why 1st owner get to enjoy the collection of new car feeling! �there is a price to pay for the shoikness. !!! haha

Not that I want to make him sad. But he thinks he can make a profit out of his new ride even when COE prices are dropping . and new car once drive out of showroom, value straight away plunge 10%. Becomes 2nd owner for the buyer.

Forget about Mazda increasing their prices recently, it won't sustain where the res to the ads are slashing their prices. The increase in Mazda is to create panic buy but people won't be lured into it..

Price a few weeks ago was as low as $98k. Coe prices dropping and they increase price. Business must have been too good. Dun worry, they will decrease again otherwise lose market share.

its only possible for him when coe is in a increasing trend and must be increasing a lot.. i remember more than 10 years ago when my dad first buy a van, the coe was very low, when we got the van delivered to us the coe went up quite a bit and i remember someone offer to buy from us at a slightly higher price we buy as he wanted to get the van asap..�

�

so not say impossible but in this coe climate i will say three words... BO KO NENG!!�

�

but i actually do hope he can do it becos this means my new car will also be worth more $$ !! hahaha

�

hit 55k pple rush in, slowly drop back, hit 50k, more pple rush in.... 10 to 20k coe days diff to come by. remember these increase bucket of coes come from current owners, they want to cont to drive too.... when u drive for more than 5 yrs, going back to public transport is gonna b a culture shock

�

haha then i will sell too.. and go take public transport! haha

�

Just took delivery of my mazda 3 standard on Thursday.
It comes with 1 USB port and 2 power sockets. Hope that helps! :)

How come deluxe is 2 USB ports n 1 power socket? Does anyone know?

�

i dunno, but how impt is this 2 usb port?

How come deluxe is 2 USB ports n 1 power socket? Does anyone know?

�

maybe one is diagnostic/firmware update port. My PC motherboard have a dedicated white port for BIOS firmware easy-update via USB flash drive.

�

If not, I assume it's just to let you plug in two devices instead of one? Plug one to handphone, one to iPod, or one to USB drive, one to iPod, etc.

MZDConnect is supposed to be advanced system with lots of connectivity after all.

�

I know for example Ford SYNC2 also have 2 USB ports.

So in all, at least a loss of 15k if not even more cos can only sell after 6 months.

�

I think if someone can sell a few months old KIA K3 for around $8k less than a current-priced new car... anything is possible in the carrot-chopping second hand market right now

any bros know if our car the side mirror is heated or not?

�

i dunno, but how impt is this 2 usb port?

�

Hmm, I was thinking more of the 2 sockets, would prefer 2 but I only hav 1, 2 usb of coz is preferred too haha..�

OMG the price went up by another 1K. Are they really trying to push me to buying a lancer or altis instead?

Wow. Deluxe back to 111888.

OMG the price went up by another 1K. Are they really trying to push me to buying a lancer or altis instead?

. No, buy Attrage $83,999 only.

Wow. Deluxe back to 111888.

Thats good..

thats 7k above my price

Mazda going to increase price tomorrow again...

�
actually the one they provide free not that great, try go search Witson mazda 3, but u need to bring in yourself and get installer to install

Oh..What is the oem brand of the 8"LCD unit supplied by AD, anyone know??
What are any differences between the oem one by AD and the Witson one, you have lobang?

Edited by danzo, 16 August 2015 - 10:35 PM.

Mazda going to increase price tomorrow again...

Dont quite understand why actually. ..

Maybe because the stock wont be arriving so soon so they raise the price to moderate demand? I heard next shipment is October?

Mazda going to increase price tomorrow again...

Yeap...sales has been superb...I can't even find a parking lot last sat at Leng Kee...have to park and walk from Redhill Market.

�

According to SE, COE will be going up.....that's way they need to increase price...

�

Those wanted to book but not decided yet ..too bad you will be missing the boat....

Read this theory from another thread...

�

Car dealers hate decreasing COE prices. It makes people wait out for even lower prices, and they won't get orders. So to force people to come to a decision, they raise prices instead to instill panic buying. Looking at the demand over the past few weeks, it does seem to work on Singaporeans.

next shipment is nov actually.. anyone know if the side mirror is heated?

�

There could be some truth to this. Just look at how Japan is trying to engineer an inflation to end the decades long recession. When price is coming down people tends to wait out for even lower price. But when it shows signs of going up, people cheong to buy like the stock market.�

Hi, does anyone try pumping 95 petrol yet ?

I been pumping esso 98 for the past 8 months... petrol now every expensive and the esso 5 dollars vouchers will be used up by this year...

Thinking to pump esso 95 next year. Anyone got negative feedback ? I got free servicing at mazda so i usually will go back service at every 90-95km mark. Is this good ?

It's not heated

I had been pumping esso mobil 95 since day 1.(nov 2014). No knocking sound. Mileage 550/ 42litres.20% high way. Heavy footer.

Just to check, how do you carry your key fob?

Do you get a case or something? Realised that the Mazda Key fob is rather long, kinda hard to get any nice key holder for it. Just wanna see what are the rest using to protect the key fob from any cosmetic wear n tear from day to day handling. Any photo would be good...

�

Thanks...

Hi guys, any of you encounter sound of glass "expanding" when you are driving?

can be described as the sound of a small rock hitting the wind screen, "tack" sound.

�

quite positive there is no rock as i was the only one on the road.

No problem with RON95. �That is the recommended petrol for Mz3 anyway. �Why you wanna waste money with 98? �No need lah.

Deluxe must have some difference Ma. Lol

Fyi same with mz2 deluxe. Although the difference in goodies are more pronounced.

Hi Mrmilktooth, thanks for the reply. i'm not so worried about it getting scratch, more of dropping it and damaging it...

my SE told me it could $400+ to get it replaced. hence would like to get something to "protect" it

Mazda 3 del is 113.888k now..

Yea I know, but we already overpaid 60, 70k for the car, whats a few dollars more?? haha

Mazda 3 del is 113.888k now..

�

Keep increasing plus heard the other ADs too, seems like this round COE should rebound even higher. Btw, package is 3 years or 5 years warranty? Got free servicings?

Haha, on a constructive note, maybe we could do taobao daigou sharing here.. bigger size car accessories like body kit, visors, chrome exhaust, etc...

�

�

They sure tell people their side of their preferred story since they are pricing upwards. �I �think it's just a matter they oversold during their 30 years promotion sales, and next shipment is still few months to arrive so meanwhile just 'hang up high high' to sell and try to spook customer into buying early.

�

However, since like stock market the COE price is really depending on dd&ss which is also affected greatly by market sentiments, so who can seriously predict accurately? �If COE price goes up we who already bought already rejoice then, but if comes down we suck thumb and enjoy our ride early then lah..

�

Today start August 2nd bidding, lets wait for the verdict on Wed. �If goes up Eurokar may be partially right, if comes down then the last round that few hundred dollars increase is just technical adjustment only.�

�
Haha, on a constructive note, maybe we could do taobao daigou sharing here.. bigger size car accessories like body kit, visors, chrome exhaust, etc...

Visor just buy it yourself. They didn't allowed me to combine order for visor. Bt net net still cheaper than 65 bucks

Anyone know which Mazda Japan Axela models is our M3 standard and deluxe that is imported by AD??

see here �http://www.mazda.co....de/#axela-sedan

Hmm...

Their top model seem to have�SCBS(Smart City Brake Support) which we did not have?

Also, their base model seem to have an option just to add in the 7" Mazda Connect Screen with Command Controller, which is not offered as an option here for standard?

�

On another note, imports based on JPY would be more expensive now as SGD has dropped against the JPY since the past few weeks, which could be a contributing factor to the price increase.

Actually start/stop also pretty irritating. Especially if you zham brake and the engine shuts off.

Yesterday Eurokar �increased price another $2k, which is only shortly after it just increased $1k last Sat. �Now standard M3 selling at $106,888.. I'm beginning to wonder if Eurokar knows something about the COE market that we dunno... �What a gungho pricing strategy...

No need strategy lah.any other sane person will know that COE will only go one way and that is up Those who are in denial will spend time analyse this and that,hoping it will drop

Anyone know what is the air pressure to pump for the stock 16" tyres?�

I look around tyres and see max pressure 51 PSI (350Kpa)... hmm.. .this mean I can do it with 45 PSI?�

Depends on your load. Im always alone or with 1 passenger. 235kpa for me.

there are aftermarket navigator system available for Mazda 3 which is about 1k, which is almost 80% similar to the factory build in navigation system.

Anyone install the 8" LCD Head Unit by AD?
How is it?
Want to check with you, does the in-built car bluetooth and voice command still works as intended from the steering wheel, or the LCD head unit must set up a seperate bluetooth pairing, different from the in-built buttons? Cheers.

�

Not really. I have it in my Oz M3 and it just good to have to give you the peace of mind that the vehicle is constantly monitoring your front to prevent you from any potential collision if you fail to brake in time and only operates in a certain speed parameter. i.e. when you are turning into a slip road and looking out for car,�the car in front of you suddenly brake for whatever reason,�it will�help you brake�your car�to prevent collision since your eyes is not observing the front. That is one function that I wish Sg Mz3 would have. Even the top of the range Mz6 it was removed from the FL model. only the pre-fl Mz 6 have this function.

Hi Huge, i agree with you, how i wish the SG M3 has this feature. Especially i had kena such an accident as you mentioned above.

Wondering if we can have this feature installed in M'sia since their CKD M3 have this as standard.

Was at the Mazda (Ubi) showroom today, a lot of M2, M3 and M6 filling up the underground carpark.

Anybody picking up their car today?

Bro Privacy you leh?

Not sure if it needs more time to break in but 1 month into driving the car, the seat is still pretty firm. Just had a hip aching drive back just now. Anyone find the seats firm?

:a-happy: lol'd hard!

But anyhow, the situation up north is clearly different from ours... here Mazda3 cheaper than Altis and better equipped. In Mz3 vs Altis in SG, imo, Mz3 all the way.

Edited by 7hm, 20 August 2015 - 10:12 PM.

Depends if you are saloon or HB. Check the driver side door, there is a sticker to indicate the pressure for light load and full load. My HB rear tyres need to pump up to 320Kpa for full load.

I look around tyres and see max pressure 51 PSI (350Kpa)... hmm.. .this mean I can do it with 45 PSI?�

�

�

�

Ops.... i just refill the tyre air to 40PSI, which is approx 273 Kpa.�

�

Should i go kisok again to release some air pressure... recommended?�

Now M3 Std going at $106.8K, but after rebate of $2K for 5-year servicing in-lieu and additional $1K for Finance rebates.

Worth it to add extra�$2K for 5-year servicing package? Does it include all service, labour, oil and parts?

How much does actual 5-year of servicing costs estimates if we don't take up that package?

Worth noting that if you take up the additional 5-year package, you need to go back to them for everything in-order not the void the thing. Aka cannot go outside to your own workshop, which�may be cheaper. However it does provide a fuss-free and convenient experience.

You'll hv to spend that $2k anyway in servicing during the warranty period. No point trying to save a few dollars here n there by going outside and risk voiding your warranty. It's really small change compared to the $106k you've plonked down on a car.

Some oil stain spotted on the electric seat buttons. Nothing serious. Leather seats look ok to me... r u too fastidious?

I asked to see the servicing charges during my 1K servicing last month. Stated in his file is 200+ to 300+ for each servicing, the outstanding ones are the 60K 700+ and 120K 1000+, the SA told me 120K must change spark plugs, I told myself its an incentive to change the car before then haha

Sorry for not being clear. i was not very happy with leather seats with lots of wrinkle at driver seats than passenger seats. The stain r quite obivous but i did not complain to se on this.

Anyway still love my car. :)

I pondered over the Deluxe, and the factor that almost pushed me into paying 7k more was the fact that the leather is locally fitted instead of factory fitted in the Deluxe. Hope I won't regret it.

�

The mould of the locally fitted leather should be the same as the factory fitted ones, so if there are wrinkles, it probably means the local workmanship is questionable, you can still raise it to your SE if not manager.

�

Are the stains obvious because you got white? I chose black because white + locally fitted (quality unknown to me) may mean easily ruined by a pair of jeans.

Is it just my eyes, or Mazda doesn't even provide enough trim material to cover the entire footwell?� � Looks like pedals and additional carpets are really necessary to protect the interior...

Confirm will fit bt I havent fit it.

17" is a good size, but overall looks smaller. 18" will cause ride to be bumpy but looks great. Btw what's the tyre size? 225/50?

Maz6 rims r wider by 1". 215/60r17 fits.
Off sets is 50. Pcd is 114.3*5. Ctr bore is 67.1... fits perfectly without adaptor.
Its 0.87% smaller..I doubt anyone will notice it with naked eyes.
*215/50r17. Typo.

225/50 r17 was on my mind coz I saw a Passat using that size. Would result in a larger size compared to stock. 215/50 r17 is smaller. Both by 0.8%.

Btw 1" wider will not cause the tyre to rub the wheel well right?

I would think Eurokars as AD is bounded by Mazda JP to uphold the brand image and quality for their authorised locally provided fittings, accessories and services.

Will not. U can google for advance tyre calculator. Some of which are quite good. Go for those with offsets calculator.

I will see how they are going to answer my unhappiness. :(

First pic is the crumpled driver seats. The rest are stains. Lucky collected on yesterday.

Unacceptable to me too the stains. Crumble..erm hard to argue.

Tb dir.

But aren't they too long to be freighted? I used 4px and they told me longest is 1.2m. Anything above 1m cannot combine.

Wow. The stain is totally unacceptable. AD should at least go thru with a leather cleaner mah. The crinkle I guess is is acceptable to s certain extent, given its pretty thick leather. As long as it's not due to poor fitting. I guess everyone who's collecting car during their peak sales season should go thru the car thoroughly. My SE did confess that it's quite a job delivering a car to customer. Imagine the volume this season.

To think Eurokar also carries Porsche and maclaren and their delivery should be up to snuff.

One more thing to check is the solar film application. Make sure the film is pushed and adhered all the way to the edges. Sometimes it's not done properly and it lifts up. My cousin's one has a crease right in the middle of the rear window panel.

I just hope that it does not happen to the Maclarens! It if does not, it only goes to show one thing...

Done! Fitted with Dunlop d05.
Feel less floating as aspect ratio is lower than 60.
Obviously less comfortable.
Definitely better looking than the 16.
