I got my COE (2/6) yesterday on the Deluxe version however, my brother on the standard version did not get it. Both of us bought on the same day. And both of us paid for guaranteed COE bidding within 6 rounds.�

I got my COE (2/6) yesterday as well, mine is standard version.

latest Mazda 3 pricing after yesterday's COE bid

Deluxe Model - 109,988 with 6 bids GUARANTEED COE, Rebate

This is a 1k increase from the previous price BUT the COE is guaranteed!

*Note, there is no pricing for non-guaranteed COE.

�

With their latest pricing, i am quietly confident that Mazda will get me my COE within my remaining bids

Seems like their profit margin is not as high other AD..

Same here! i have not spotted a single Mazda on the rd since April.. but i seen loads of Altis.. hopefully the Mazda AD is reading this post.. :)

Saw 2 soul red 3 at Bishan. And a White 3 in town.

I also think most of the Cat A coe goes to altis, since this car just launched and it is a popular make.

Do you wanna hire me as your sales since I am a good Mazda SE whom have given you the assurance previously?� [:p]

I can give you a sales forecast right away wor.. [grin]

�

confirm say something to the effect of: "is like dat one"�

the mazda 3 I have ten years ago also have this problem.. you mean now they haven't resolved it?

I think due to Mazda's "Firmer" suspension set up,it is a bit noiser than others make.

Generally still a very good car except that it is cramp.

other than maybe their profit margin is not as high, their cost price also not that high after CEVS reabate at 10k.

anyway, congrat �you first :)

K3 also not bad,K5,is very nice,but not the same class as Mazda 3,it is Mazda 6....class.

Hyundai strikes back with $93k Elantra in today's papers...$10k cheaper than Mz3.

Good, and I hope they go for price war... One drop, the rest follow and by end of the year or early next year, reach 70k for a b&b car... Hehehe....

Can only go so low....OMV $12k, ARF and taxes say around�$15k, COE $63k total $90k liao. Profit only $3k??

Can share a bit on the maintenance of the car? What is the wait time for the servicing and the pricing of the servicing packages at Eurocar?

I'm interested but not sure what's the add-on costs...

Thanks

You believe they will get you a coe at 63k?.. Look at their rebate offer and you know those extra are their profit... Smelly smelly another 8-10k profit..

Errr.. What is the big deal with 1 year free servicing? That's only 2 times or max 3 times for me and it cost less than 1k.... With such carrot you also bite?.. Hehehe

Mazda 6 came with 3 years free servicing or 6 times..[based on 20,000km per year]...inc oil...maybe i bought it last year when the price was the highest.

CEVS rebate is deducted off ARF...so that's another $15k profit

Ah, that probably explains why I got only three free servicing sessions... Thanks for clarifying!

Hi, I m newly joined member. Have been reading all the Madza forum over past weeks. Interesting, I am also interested in the 2014 madza 3. Have test drive 2 weeks ago, though the car lacks power, it is substituted with nice electronic features inside. The finishing is good.

When you say it lack power, you are comparing it with which car?.. I find it ok for a b&b car... Maybe I'm so use to my no power Latio, every other car also better... Hehehe

Am driving Latio too. The pick up from traffic light is rather slow though I do not speed. Once on the road, it is ok. I would have thought the new Mazda would have better pick up power. It does not matter anyway, after all it's a b&b car

Thanks for advice

Hear a lot review saying about nosie cabin.

Err... isn't 100km a bit low? Is it 100k km?

sorry typo.. u r right 100k km...

Any advice IF I am going for a new car. What to look out for when negotiating with SE? Guarantee or Non Guarantee COE? What is the chances of Non Guarantee COE? What happend after 6 unsuccessful tries of COEs? First time considering buying a new car. Thank you.

Guarantee COE means not matter what price, dealer will bid the COE for you with in 6 bids.

�

Non-Guarantee Coe always come with COE Rebate portion, dealer suppose will bid the COE at least the COE rebate amount.

Example rebate at 50k, they will at least bid 50K for every coe bidding, then they might bid a little higher on last 2 bid.

How much higher is depend on their profit, how much they willing to give away.

�

Non-Guarantee COE package,

If first few bid , COE price going too high, then SE might asking you top up earlier.

if unsuccessful for 6 bids, then usually dealer will asking you to top up. If you dun agree, then can proceed refund.

For refund part, you better double check with SE, is it any admin fee/bank charges involve before you sign the dotted line.

�

For me, I will always go to�non guarantee, because I feel the additional few K for guarantee COE package is not worth it.�

That few k is enough for me to buy 2 return ticket to Euro for Travel :p

�

negotiation part is depend on your prefer. Some better ask from them, example solar firm and front camera.

Solar firm, dealer can get cheaper price than us.

Front Camera is want to hide the wiring, then better ask them to do it, else it will void the warranty.

Other then that, I prefer Cash Rebate instead.

Thank you Ncleon on your tips. I fully agreed to go for non guaranteed COE. For my case, I can afford not to adhere to their request of topping up the COE since my current car still has sometime before it reaches it's lifespan. There is always a saying, "if you don't ask, you don't get" on the freebies.

Seems like their profit margin is not as high other AD..

�

I really hope so & they better do if they want the Mz 3 to penetrate the CAT A as a regular. Else while Maz Cars look great to me & from what I heard handles well, the profit margin of the AD from the old days is really a turn off.

You believe they will get you a coe at 63k?.. Look at their rebate offer and you know those extra are their profit... Smelly smelly another 8-10k profit..

�

Profit margin within 100% would be more realistic?

Hows the moving off? Understand the 6AT has a very low ration 1st gear of >3.5.

As for 0-100 is 0.5 sec faster that the last SP at 12.3.� Add that if it can truly deliver the 20% inmproved FC in real Sg driving situation, thats a pretty good improvement over all.�� :)

�

hows the 0-60 which is more relevant in Sin from your test drive?� Tia.

I drove 2 Mz cars before. The 323 in 2000 and the 3 SP in 2006.
What I dislike about the Mz has always been the poor FC and the IMO noisy/rough engine.
What I like is the handling and design.
The profit margin for the 2006 model was around 5k if I remember correctly and for the 2000 model was more but not extravagant. Not been following over the last few years but I thought it was fair on those 2 occasions. Maybe towards the end of their dealership, MM tried to get a better margin I'm not sure and like you I certainly hope the new AD succeeds as it would be good to have another alternative Jap B&B car selling regularly!!

Guarantee COE means not matter what price, dealer will bid the COE for you with in 6 bids.

Non-Guarantee Coe always come with COE Rebate portion, dealer suppose will bid the COE at least the COE rebate amount.

not like that la.

a) guaranteed coe still come with coe rebate level.

b) be it guaranteed or non-guaranteed coe, the agt still can bid below the coe rebate level.

c) if bid below the coe rebate level, the difference will b refunded to the buyer.� that's y it's called coe "rebate" level.

Office: Blk 2020, Bukit Batok St. 23, #02-242, Industrial Park A, Singapore 659525. Yes they will cut 3M car mat according to size, they have the measurement already, it took about half an hour for them to prepare but you can order online as well. Check it out on their website. Go for the 13mm one is only $10 more than the standard which is $165. Worthwhile invest on 3M is more durable compared to 3A.

Hi guys, I have questions on my mind. When you collecting your new ride, there should already be some mileage clocked in your new ride. What's the typical range of the mileage that is acceptable...? It's like checking whether your ride was taken on a extra drive clocking more mileage... Thanks...

Heard from one of my Colleague who got a M3 saying that there is a shippment arrived yesterday. Just curious if anyone collecting their new ride this weekend...?

�

Congrats to all those collecting their new ride this weekend... :)

I will be collecting mine next weekend when I am back in Singapore. Finally it's here!

is this the case? not guranteed also?�

Any bro try those paint protection for new ride? Is it necessary and how long does it last.

Wat colours did u guys choose?

is this the case? not guranteed also?�

�

its not legal binding for Mazda to secure the COE within 6 bids..

What bro L23 meant was that its very likely that Mazda will bite the bullet and let us have the car, with reduced profit margin.

�

I bought at 106k, non-guaranteed COE and yet to secure COE after 3 bids.

But bros, that paid 3k more, i.e. 109k, with guaranteed COE has gotten their cars.

So we are talking about fine extra profit margin of 3k here... :)

Wat colours did u guys choose?

�

I chose aluminium metallic with black interior... :)

Wat colours did u guys choose?

mine is blue reflex mica with beige n back leather seat.

Swee. Congrats to all mazda3 owners. Do give us a review

I think the $106K is for the upgraded deluxe package. Good for you.

Got my ride today. My agent say there is no need to run in engine, is that true?

Yes, this is also mentioned in the car's manual. But for best practise, I ensure I do not rev more than 4 rpm. Otherwise, drive as per normal.

Interestingly, there is no oil change for the 1k servicing. I heard from the customer service officer that the oil will only be changed at 10k servicing.

I found it quite weord too. They told me no need to change at 1k and 5k as this is a Skyactiv engine. Are you also driving a MZ3? May I ask what is the viscosity of the oil that you used?

Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for sharing!

�

How did you find your ride so far? What is the mileage on the speedometer when you collected your ride? Is your car plate also SKN?

�

Enjoy your ride!

Got it at 11km. Ride is wonderful so far, did not floor it, but power is good enough. Yes SKN too.

i dont believe in run-in... i whack on the first day on my vios and latio and never have engine problem at all... never have to watch my rev, i just rev the moment i drive out of showroom.....

�

btw, did i mentioned i whack my vios to KL at speed above 160km/h when the ODO reads only ~700km?..hehehe...

Sorry to interrupt... :)

�

Can see quite a number of new owners for Mazda ride.. Just a quick check, do you guys intend to install car cam on your new ride..? If yes, which brand of car cam do you guys go for..?

�

Maybe some typical concerns are, Is the car cam able to withstand local hot temperature, Car batt draining, wiring of the lines, ability to check the footage through handphone..etc.. But seems like to many concerns to take care. Just like to check with new car owners what is the take on car cam...

I am driving the Mazda 6,2.5...This engine used 0w-20,100% Syn oil,own Mazda brand,but currently using Motul 300v,will switch back to Mazda oil,during the next 20,000km servicing,do enjoy the car,Mazda built very good car... [thumbsup] �,but only engine noise a bit 'louder' than others..[due to very high compression.]

If you go for the 1000km,the S.A, told you no need to change oil,just insist on changing & pay $130.00,just a small amount of $,compare with the cost of the car...

I am getting my new ride tomorrow, also thinking of installing a car cam but also don't know which brand to go for. I was at Alexandra village this morning a car accessories shop (Hing Hock) selling a Taiwan brand ($210 with installing), even demo to me the screen and is quite clear even at dark room, but don't know whether the camera is reliable or not.

This would be choice car if I decide to change :)

Wow snow dust, went rd trip with new car already! How's the highway feel? Any prob overtaking? Wonder wats the limit of this car. Btw my ride is white.

Just realized today as well that istop also activates when you put the gear to neutral, so no need to step hard on brakes to do tt.

We got our cars today. My is Soul Red with Black seats and my brother is Silver with Black seats. Are you guys going for solar film? Feels hot as compared to my previous car with film.�

Not advised to shift to "N" on traffic lights,because,more damage will be done,if you shift to "D" & the engine re-start...Don't really need to step that 'hard' to activate the i-Stop..

The car is stable and I am still getting use to overtaking as I was driving a manual car previously... Not so confident as I could not control the shifting in gears.

Actually for cars with this function, is it a must or recommended to release accl before using the tiptronic?

No need to release...Mazda 3 torque,should be 'acceptable'....for N/A. 1.5 L.

Just got my car today - 10 KM at the odometer when I collected it.

1) Does anyone know how to open the rear boot from inside the car? Coudln't find the lever?�

�

2) Is it possible to auto-lock the doors when the car starts to move? Can't find this setting on the "Settings" page.�

Thanks. In light that the previous 3sp had 1.5/1.6, hopefully there would be also a 1.6 version perhaps for the FL version in a 2-3 yrs time. additional 100cc in favor of torque.

Dun thk there is a lever for boot.. I have not tried pressing the boot button on the key while in the car though. Thk no auto lock too.. I have to manually press the lock button at driver door.
