how do i go about buying a car? or a 2nd hand car?
totally clueless about this, need lots of help and guiding around.
say, i saw a 2nd hand car with the price tag of 26.8k, does that means that i will just need to pay 26.8k and that car will be mine?
how about insurance? how does the insurance thing work?
does the price stated include everything alr?
i see something like omv, what is it about?
for example this vios,

First, set a budget.
Then, set a type of car you would like, eg 4 doors, 2 doors, simple, effing fast, etc
Then search for something you would like, @ sgcarmart, for example. The prices there normally is all in, except insurance. That price will not be indicative, which means you can bargain. How much lower you get the price to, see your skill liao.
If you buy from a dealer, take loan and insurance from them, chances are you can bargain the car price a bit lower. If not, they will charge you a fee. However, do not agree to pay any admin fee, processing fee. Tell them no, if they insist, walk away. Plenty of dealers for you to choose from.
If you buy from a direct seller, you need to factor in the cost of going to get your own loan and insurance, especially through a middleman. But most of the time, direct sellers do transact @ a lower price than dealers. Again though, depends on your skills.
Have fun shopping. Never rush though.
Eh.. why the fark am I helping a Pool supporter! /edit

What is OMV? The listed OMV value is that of the first registration date of the vehicle.
OMV stands for Open Market Value. OMV is assessed by the Singapore Customs, based on the price actually paid or payable for the goods when sold for export to the country of importation. This price includes purchase price, freight, insurance and all other charges incidental to the sale and delivery of the car to Singapore.
If the vehicle is de-registered within 10 years from its first registration date, the registered owner is entitled to a percentage rebate of its OMV value from the Land Transport Authority (LTA).
Effective from 1 September 2008, you may use the OMV rebate to exchange for cash at LTA. Do note that processing time is typically a few weeks.

Basically, u can take all the prices listed on sgcarmart as reference. Check the site for other similar cars and similar age cars for cross referencing. Add insurance and you should have your final price. Remember to bargain though. And ask them to list every cost every damn thing, in black and white. For more info, go see MCF.
