If it's really $103k, it could well be another volks auto.

For which model? Vezel X?
Which PI?
�
Wow 103k with reverse calculation, the COE is something like 50k in order for them to have gd margin. After 6 bids of waiting dunno the COE will fall till that range or not? Probably maybe asked to top up.
For references
�
cool, I have yet to get my car but have already bought some on-line.
I am also interested in this car, looking around for the best deal. Anyone don't mind to share?
�
If there group purchase discount that will be great too.
�
Looking at Vezel X or S series.
ya man bo bian gotta get it sea shipped for this item. I was considering to get those chrome trimmings but dunno looks nice or not on the actual until see your poisons.
Lol 200 over pages of poisons tio poison deep deep.
i still can lun...
For those Vezel $103K 6 bid non guarantee.
Even if you got time to wait and not hurriedly need to drive off a Vezel,
Dont be naive like some of us where you plonk in DP and to expect a refund when the 6 bid process ran out.
�
Unless of course, if you can protect your DP or best of all NO DP or arrange for a bankers guarantee, i would strongly suggest you�NOT to do it.

Everyone would say, this is Singapore, it would not happen.�Trust me,�Don't learn the hard way.
Singapore got a lot of scammers in variety of packages.

26 January 2015 - 11:52 PMDino-LeeDone my 1st 1k servicing at Upper Thomson Optima Car. They poured Shell Ultra Helix 5W40, change oil filter, checked battery, pumped air tyre to 250(suggested by the boss), clean air con filter, lastly car wash.Total damage is $138 before gst.
Hi sis, is that syntactic oil that u used? When is your second servicing? At 5k or 10k?
Air tyre at 250 is a bumpy ride. I pump 200/220 rear/front for a smoother ride.

138 b4 gst is still on the high side bah. Engine oil they shud be earning abt 40pct margin..dats high. If is shell helix still ok. Instead if Texas Oil!! Mobil shud be slightly better.

How is ur fc so far sis? Any improvement? $138 is considered an ok price. At least its helix. But doubt at W40 you can see much improvement in ur fc. Probably got to wait until after 10km when engine is fully run in (debatable).

Just my opinion. I think a transparent way of offering is... cost of goods plus 20pct margin plus labour plus misc (if any) plus gst. And super fast servicing can demand higher labour charge.How is ur fc so far sis? Any improvement? $138 is considered an ok price. At least its helix.

good feedback!!
27 January 2015 - 09:30 AMGoogoojust to share, i used to read the technical specifications of the engine oil which i buy. basically i look at flash point�and viscosity index� Of course there are more things to look for (like API SN, brand etc) but generally i just look at this 2..�
�
Flash point - the lowest temperature at which the oil gives off vapors which can ignite. It is dangerous for the oil in a motor to ignite and burn, so a high flash point is desirable),
�
Viscosity -��a measure of how much the oil's viscosity changes as temperature changes. A higher viscosity index indicates the viscosity changes less with temperature than a lower viscosity index.
�
reference from�http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_oil.
�
you can Google for the specifications of the engine oil that u r buying.�

most ws around this price, some higher cos of better brand eo like shell, motul, liquimoly, hks, some lower cos of less known brand.

27 January 2015 - 11:49 AMDswmjust a quick update, FC is about 15km/L...60% highway....
�
�
About the same as you.....averaging 15km/l with 50% city-driving, 50% highway.�
�
By the way, along the same stretch of road from Toa Payoh to Yio Chu Kang, using CTE:
- with eco mode, was able to clock up 21km/l
- without eco mode, managed 19.5km/l
�
But I think I drive with a heavy right foot (habit)....
27 January 2015 - 11:53 AMFuelsavernot sure about tyre pressure, but i test drove it n rear is so bumpy, even being driver i can feel kinda discomfort. torsion beam setup for vezel is quite stiff, unlike toyotas.
27 January 2015 - 11:58 AMSoonkuay76tyre pressure is one thing the tyre itself is another
for those who are on 17inch your tire height how high.
My toyo t1 sport is 55�
i choose the spec because it have more give than say 50 or 45 -meaning thicker width to absorb the road harshness�
i usually pump up to 240 and fuel consumption still btw 16.8km/l to18.2km/l
85%expressway and 15% city

going for my 10k km servicing soon. Time for synthetic oil lor
27 January 2015 - 12:45 PMLEESTBro, i finished my second tank today.How is ur fc so far sis? Any improvement? $138 is considered an ok price. At least its helix. But doubt at W40 you can see much improvement in ur fc. Probably got to wait until after 10km when engine is fully run in (debatable).
Based on meter, first tank average at 14.7km/l, 2nd tank at 15.4km/l. Based on my own calculation, first tank at 12km/l, 2nd tank 14.3km/l. I drive 546km for second tank, with one bar left and petrol light alerted.
Mechanic advised me to pump shell 98 instead of 95 for my new engine. I tried and hope will hv better fc and drive with it 27 January 2015 - 05:29 PMtrajet2bpokadot, on 27 Jan 2015 - 5:20 PM, said:pokadot, on 27 Jan 2015 - 5:20 PM, said:�

27 January 2015 - 07:01 PMLEESTGood to hear you are getting 14-15km/l and its now better than your first few tanks! You can consider lowering your tyre pressure bah. 250 is too bumpy and damaging imho. Lol. 235 is good enough. You may not see much diff compared to 250 as long as you check your tyre pressure once a week and maintain at 235.
Thanks for ur advice,bro. Will try out?Ignore the cross over text in the attachment page.

I am a new joinee to this forum mainly because i am planning to buy ... ! I have gone through couple of threads .. but didnt see much details on the financials. sorry if this is a repost.�

I am looking for a detailed costs if i buy and probably a preferred PI who is reliable. Just want to calculate how much loan and how much upfront ..�

Appreciate any reply.

Hi Aarcee,
�
Welcome to the forum. I am pretty new myself and like you, I came because I am looking for a new ride. I think yours is more of a finance question so hopefully the following is useful.
�
There are various loan / lease types available, from 50% ~ 80%, at varying interest rates from 1.8% ~ 2.5% P.A., with different repayment periods from 5 to 7 years. As there are 3 different sub-models of the Vezel (more if you count the Hybrid) selling at different prices, we shall take $120,000.00 for simple reference.
�
If you are taking a 50% loan, you will be paying 1/2, or $60,000.00 down payment upfront, and assuming a 5-year loan at 2% interest P.A., you will be paying around $1,150.00 monthly for 5 years, or roughly $130,000.00 in total.
�
If you are taking a 80% loan, you will be paying 20%, or $24,000.00 down payment upfront, and assuming a 7-year loan at 2% interest P.A., you will be paying around $1,350.00 monthly for 7 years, or roughly $137,500.00 in total.
�
Most PIs require $10k payment to start your COE bidding process, and some will ask for additional deposit like 10% of the car price, all these have to be paid upon booking and will count towards your down payment, with the rest payable when your car is ready for collection. Go talk to as many PIs as you can / like and shortlist those whose packages you feel most comfortable with.
�
Talking about PIs, there are many good PIs around, but it only takes one Volks Auto to spoil your day, so you really need to be careful and do your homework diligently. Even if I am to tell you right here right now XXX is a really good and responsible PI with fair prices, how do you know I am not just one of their employees masquerading as a helpful forumer trying to scam you?
�
If you need something as a starting point, there's an excellent post-chain right here on this thread listing down all the people here who has either collected or booked their rides and from there you can see who are the PIs that consistently delivers and pleases. You can also find other excellent advises over the pages as well as on other threads; what to look out for when booking, what to ask and what to reject etc., do spend some time to go through them if you can.�
�
Golden rule; cheap is not always good and price is not everything.
�
The above is just a feel of what you can expect, most PIs are opened to discussions and negotiations, and how far you manage to go will really depend on your bargaining skills. Hope this helps.
�
Good luck to us both on our car hunt.�

The above is just a feel of what you can expect, most PIs are opened to discussions and negotiations, and how far you manage to go will really depend on your bargaining skills. Hope this helps.

Good luck to us both on our car hunt.�

One simple rule of thumb is...the more loan you take, the more discount or free gifts that you essentially need & you should ask for. Nowadays leather seats and entry level HU are standard offers, nothing special. Ask for MORE, there is much room to give.�
�
To add on the topic of cheating PIs/Dealers...i believe the best kind are those who are able to engage the services of a bank to hold custody of the deposits of customers. I'm not sure in detail how this can work when dealing on the administrative side of things, however this is kind of custodian deposit handling has long been used by online spread betting companies and brokers. So if the company folds, none of the deposit by the client is affected. The main issue is, can that money be used to bid for cars. In fact since SG has this unique COE and requires bidding with $10k min deposit, perhaps a rule to protect buyers & sellers can be set to level the playing field.
�
Eg Min deposit =$10,000 (into custodian account which is allowed to be used for bidding) + $5000 (a nominal amount for dealers to be paid to contractually seal the agreement T&Cs. Any additional nominal deposit above $5000, LTA can set a rule that it will also be locked in the custodian account. Larger amount of deposit can be pegged according to percentage of OMV range for the particulalr vehicle in qn.
�
Both parties to the contract can only take back or receive payment of the monies if the purchase/sales agreement proceed smoothly and car delivery/receipt is made, or the contract is rescinded and agreed upon amicably.
�
As such, the only risk that buyers face is $5000 or can be less. Dealers will not be afraid of buyers running road as the custodian acct protects both parties to the deal. If buyer run road, dealer can prove, dealer takes the deposit.�

Almost everyday around 9.30pm... I will cut across ur side to my carpark 28 January 2015 - 12:24 PMPat62Unfortunately it is all true. Approx 6 weeks wait for car to clear paperwork after reach port to even reach showroom
Thanks.

I was told Vicom use to be very fast but now need 2-3 weeks. So, I am not sure if there is this added timeframe. Thought I saw report that LTA is looking into speeding up. So, I am puzzled with this new info from my PI.
�
I think in earlier postings in this forum, once a PI applies for VITAS, there should be a date for VITAs given by LTA. PI told me that VITAS application was submitted on 20 Jan 15 but he is still not informed by LTA of the date for the VITAS. So, there is still no fixed date for VITAS. So, again I am puzzled.

This is again normal. After LTA received the application, LTA will decide how many slots they are�going to give to each car dealer. So just have to wait patiently. By the way you secured your COE already right?

Did not remember VICOM+VITAS can take more than 4 weeks. That is why I am a bit impatient.
�
Have not secured COE�(as far as I know) as my deal is 2 bid guaranteed (without top-up) after VITAS.
