March '04 Vios For Sale.
-
Wow! All I can say is good luck. With new vios prices less than 4k more, I really wonder......
It just isn't worth it selling cars that is 1 year old now. -
Think $47k can't do. Also any accident repairs before?
-
Just take a look at the COE price at that time. 24k. Quite a big difference from now therefore the price. If I am not wrong, 03/04 Vios' price was almost similar to the corolla altis' price currently. Just browse through the classads or sgcarmart and look for some 01 or 02 corollas which are already selling for 40 odd k when brand new corolla altis only 60k. Therefore, IMHO it makes no sense to buy second hand although some may say otherwise due to parf and all that crap.
-
Seller looks desparate to sell. Price drop by S$3k!!! Used to be S$50k
-
Higher COE means higher loan amount and higher interest to pay for, nothing great about high COE or paper value. IMHO 40K max.............. not worth it if too close to brand new price. Its already 1.5yrs old leh
-
haha.. sadly, cars are gay.. the price always depreciate..
-
waa.. 40k max?? i bought at 64k leh!!
if 18 months lose 24k could have bought evo!!
anyway the highest offer i got now is 46k. -
I know u bought at 64K, but what to do, new car only few k away from your selling price leh. Anyway, if ppl offer you 46K, dont wait liao. I heard from some dealer in Oct, LTA will release the number of COE for next year and mostly it will be much more due to the high number of car being scrap this year and COE might drop further. If drop 5K then your selling price will be the same as the new car liao.Originally posted by GwenSilvz:waa.. 40k max?? i bought at 64k leh!!

What to do? This kind of timing isn't right for selling young cars. Upgrading?Originally posted by GwenSilvz:waa.. 40k max?? i bought at 64k leh!!

Yes if someone offers you 46k and if you must sell, you better do it now. The oil prices keep raising. People are being put off by the high running cost of maintaining a car. So couple that more cars being scrap, less car being purchase I think if 46k to you is a good offer, its best u get rid of it now. Buying a car is a commitment and calculated risk that we all undertake when we sign on the dotted line. That is to say when you buy a car, you actually AGREED to be exposed to such situations. Don't blame anybody. The next car that comes along the way you will face the same problem when you want to sell. Like it or not, this is the way the market is; Supply and Demand...
No point claiming you paid high COE for your car and thus your car have a higher Scrap Value. For the simple fact that no one buy cars for the sake of scrapping what's the point of telling pple your car have a high PARF? Although high Parf buffers the owner in terms of financial losses but that will only apply in the worst case possible such as Fire, Theft or even simply; Lang-ga. Why? I buy car from you I have to pray I kana all these so that the high COE can helped save my wallet isit? Aren't that make me a joker?
*** No offense to you I hoped. I was quoted 43k for my 05/03 City. If I do sell, I lose 30k over a period of 2years and 4mths. Plus the high fuel price now, that is what had been holding me back on my next purchase. I can go around boasting about my 27K COE which caused me to pay 72k for my car initially (and claiming high PARF value) but no one will actually care cos a new City is only 59k now. Its the mthly liability and the mthly running cost that interest people when they buy a car; not the scrap value. It's dollars and cents. Simple as that... -
Yea I have to agree that since you are being offered 46k then what is really holding you back man? No offence but for 46k, I might as well buy brand new. You might want to count yourself lucky getting such a price IMHO. For my case, we bought an early 03 cefiro at 100 odd k at that point of time and just recently, I went car hunting due to the tempting prices and was only offered 53k for it. Almost half the value gone.
Even worse was the previous car which was a 99 Accord bought at 140 odd k and when we traded it in, offered only 60k. Want to blame, then really have to blame the COE trend being so erratic over the past few years. -
not only the COE prices but also the reduction in taxes and PARF which cause new car prices to drop drastically

you still feel like selling yr Cefiro?? Is it the new model one 230JDM?? If yes then can i offer a few K more to buy yr car?? 
My car is due 5 yr in Dec, only being offer (paper-7%)+a bit for body!!!! %$#%@%$#% !!! By no choice, this is life. So, got to buy a cheaper used car, hopefully loose lesser.

You should buy a new car if you have paper. As 2nd car dealer usually export the car, just tell them you want to sell the body and keep the paper for new car. That'll save you the 7% on parf. But don't think you can get from PI. They don't accept parf paperOriginally posted by coolblue6699: you still feel like selling yr Cefiro?? Is it the new model one 230JDM??

Another way is to sell your parf paper directly to new car buyers. My friend bought parf paper from dealer at 4.5% discount to register his new toyota. Saved more than 1k.

I cant really understand how it works, my paper from LTA website worth 72.5K at end of Sept 05. How to use it for new car??Originally posted by fondue:You should buy a new car if you have paper.

Another thing is I afraid if I buy new car, I will tends to loose more when I want to sell after 3 yrs. Pls advise, thanks.

You are right that you'll loose alot on a new car after 3 years. So maybe you should get used car if you intend t change after 3 yrs.Originally posted by coolblue6699:I cant really understand how it works, my paper from LTA website worth 72.5K at end of Sept 05. How to use it for new car??

If you buy new car, your SE will be able to help you sell your car and use your parf rebates for the new one.
If you want to buy used car, can try advertising to sell your parf paper at about 3-5% discount. Since your parf rebate is so high, you could well save over 2k. If you can find a buyer, just sell your car body to dealers for export and tell then you want to keep the parf paper. They can also advise you on how to transfer the paper. Can look up www.onemotoring.com.sg for the procedure too. its actually not that difficult.
I'm actually in the same shoe as you cos my car is also coming to 5yrs in Dec. As I usually try to keep the car for 10 yrs, I find that my annual depreciation is the same even if I get a new car of my choice. So, the obvious choice is for me to get a new car. -
My Sti bought 9mths ago at 123k can only fetch 91k MAX from the dealers!
32k in 9months? wtf... -
I pay 92K can??
