Great Singapore Sale goes ZOOM-ZOOM!

Hi all,
Mazda has an advert in the ST today that gives "$0 Downpayment + 6 months FREE Installments". Is there a catch to this? Perhaps a surprise after 6 months..?
I'm pretty new at all this
and your comments / advice will be greatly appreciated. Thx.

I guess most likely you will need to loan at least a considerable amount (usually 80% or more) for at least a considerable period (usually 7 years or more) to earn those things.
The more and longer you loan, the more they earn. And they will bond you so that you can't re-finance to a lower interest rate loan. And prehap have to take their in-house insurrance for some time too. These are about all the "catch" I could think of. -
a)muz take mininum 50k loan for at least 7yrs.
b)interest at 3%
c)for 7yrs loan, if redeem within 3yrs....gota compensate back 3mths instalments.
d)income muz be 4 x the amt of monthly instalments. (or with guarantor or subject to approval)
e)ok..ok....price went up by $3k compared to last week. BUT.......still saves more from the FREE 6 Months Instalments+higher interest.
***ideal for those who intend to take high loan in the first place.....
thus saves $$$!!! drives now, pay next year!! heheeee.....

Thank you for your sharing. Price increase by $3k is surprising. May I ask which bank providing the loan?
Thank you again.

Thank you wbucket for your sharing. Base on what ah_veo shared, the interest rate of 3% & loan "lock-in" of 3 years seems higher than what I understand is common.Originally posted by wbucket:I guess most likely you will need to loan at least a considerable amount (usually 80% or more) for at least a considerable period (usually 7 years or more) to earn those things.

Hi wbucket. The high booking deposit could be only applicable for this promotion.Originally posted by wbucket:Booking deposit so high?? I only paid 500 for mine.
I gather than you will be / are a Mazda3 owner? May I ask what other vehicles did you consider before selecting Mazda3. The reasons to choose Mazda 3? As well, how the ride so far.
Thank you

Would you mind sharing what was your choice? As I'm looking around for my first car, I would like to hear opinions from others of their decision making process.
Thank you

My Max budget was 61.5k then, aiming for a hatchback. Aveo wasn't really value for money at that time (End of 2004), and Ignis just got taken off the shelf (My first choice). So rather go for a budget ride for my first car. Mount kerb, ramp lancer, scratch here and there, still don't feel so heart pain. Plus got a couple of spare cash for do funny things to the car.
I tested lancer too, but was going for the cute image. And lancer was 62-63k then, so a little steep. If you are going for Mazda, did you look at Honda? In my opinion, Honda car are generally good if you can afford it. -
Hi wbucket. Thank you for sharing your considerations. I have tested the Civic, City as well as the Jazz. The ride comfort as well as handling/feedback is much better for Civic and much less so for the Jazz. My initial thoughts for Honda is that it's pricey not as " feature-rich " as its peers, i.e. Civic vs Mazda3, City vs Latio, Jazz vs Mazda2/March. In addition, it appears to be that the insurance is one of the highest for Nihon-jin cars.Originally posted by wbucket:And I thought I signature would be clear enough.

As my current mindset is strong for " value-for-money " type of cars, Honda is not a 1st choice at this time.
Also, I tested the Lancer and found the drive ok, though I needed to pedal to metal when going up slope. However, the feedback on Lancer as well as Mitsubishi is slanting towards not-so-good, so...
