Parallel Import Cars..
-
Hey people..
wat u all think of parallel import cars?hmm..find their price quite reasonable and their after sales services and warranty oso not bad.. -
gotta depend on what car you buy & which PI you bought from.....must definitely buy from reliable ones....my previus car from PI....excellent service...still keeping in contact with them now..

The price is cheap, relative to the car's OMV. They only earn about about 7 to 10K per car (depending on the model). Most the PI's cars have a higher omv becuase they got them from the gray markets.
IMO, the greatest worry I have is their warrantly. The PI personally provides the warranty, what happen if they close shop or doesn't honor them.
If you really want to buy from PI, please make sure the parts are easily availble and service. Don't buy electronic sophicated cars (eg. BMW).
Make sure the saving is substantial. Eg. PI VW bora 85k and agent's 98k. 13k is worth the risk. Furthurer more VW are very easy to service. -
well..hmmm....

what is the differences between a parallel import and non parallel import ?
What is the advantages of getting from a PI ?
Please enlighten

erm..i am juz still considering only..hehe..that's y i want to know where can find Parallel importers..hehe
btw,parallel import cars are usually vehicles that are directly imported from the manufacturing place and the models are not available from the authorised dealer. for example toyota passo?well,parallel import cars are relatively cheaper than those agent (authorised dealers) 1. the parallel importers also got cars that the agents have..but maybe the capacity different or wat.. -
1)) PI offer more choices of car for consumer since they bring in different models and specs.
2)) PI have lower profit margin compared tp agent, therefore, lower price and higer OMV.
3)) PI very very flexible in heping u to get yr car. ie, zero driveaway.
Anyone like to add to the list???
BTW, if any guys here wan buy cars, please feel to call me at 943711222.
I give u more choices,lower prices, higher OMV and very very flexible. hehe

Yap, there are bad sheeps in the market.Originally posted by huoye:Some PI and i mean some only.......... will tell u yes to anything but when u buy the car it become NO....... Unless u know some PI personally if not i dun think shld get from PI. Sorry elfhunter dats my personal opinion only
Ask for accessories, say yes, ask for discount, say yes, ask got car b4 certain date, say yes, all say yes yes yes even if really cannot do.
We have customer who tells us that other PI are giving them free this and free that and therefore sign with them. But in the end, these bad sheeps chu patterns, and get the money back from the desperate customers who want to get their car.
I personally will only promise what I can do in black and white and not anyhow promise what I cannot do. This will depends on the integrity of the salesperson and the company.
So brothers who want to buy cars, choose a good company to buy from. Do not buy cheap cheap from ah beng ah seng company, but in the end cannot get car or find that the company have close down liao.
Bad sheeps aside, there are still many good salesperson and company out there in the PI market. It is just that bad news travelled faster and wider
Cheers
PS: hope this can convince some brother out there to buy from me. Hehe.
Cheers once again. -

I myself is looking for a new car but was contemplating Altis or Mit Colt (Looks abit like the Benz A class) So if I get anyone of the above from PI, will it be feasible since they are already available here in SG via dealers? If yes, what kind of price down are we looking at?Originally posted by elfhunter:1)) PI offer more choices of car for consumer since they bring in different models and specs.

Again referring to just the black sheep (I am sure there are good PIs out there),Originally posted by weipin:Hey people..
wat u all think of parallel import cars?hmm..find their price quite reasonable and their after sales services and warranty oso not bad..
there are folks sharing bad experience when it comes to repairs when the car is still under warranty...
Some of PI's workshop don't seem to be well-trained / -equipped to catch faults accurately, requiring multiple repeat visits for the same issue.
Some PIs are also said to be quite evasive on faulty big ticket items costing thousands; Unwilling to replace these items, so try to evade repair or replace other cheaper parts are at fault...
Just sharing info, so you may wanna check out the warranty details...
Good Luck -

Nowadays The big distributors are all importing cars from those 3rd world countrys....next time if want to buy cars from its origin We may have to rely on those PIs... Suzuki will be importing their china cars next year liao....
Fankly speaking, I do really feel that those cars that made in those third world country still cannot beat those coming from its original country...in terms of interior .......... -
Suzuki taking cars from China? This is the first time i heard the news... in the past from Hungary, yes... where did you hear it?Originally posted by Handgunner:Nowadays The big distributors are all importing cars from those 3rd world countrys....next time if want to buy cars from its origin We may have to rely on those PIs...

You cannot expect the hokkien saying "You want cheap, you want good, you want the something else..."
Actually we should be quite happy that the car manufacturer did not build the car in those cheaper-labour asia country and just sell it off at the same price tag as if it is from the original country... are those branded sport shoes on-shelf selling cheaper even though it is made in Indonesia, Vietnam or China?
