  Is it good to directly buy sunny from Tan Chong or from other car agent?
  
  The other car agent told me that he can help me to save $200-300 and everything else remains the same as from Tan Chong (2.5year free service, 3year warranty)
  
  Is it a good thing to buy from agent to save that $200-300?
  
  Will Tan Chong offer more stuffs to me, though I pay slightly higher $200-300?

  bro so_nice, thanks for your pm.
  
  i don't have a car right now, so i guess what you suggest may not be true to me.
  
  so the moral of the story is go to dealer if have car to trade in; else go to tan chong for the first car??
  
  but, remember the agent offers $200-300 lower than tan chong leh... tempted.

  Have you spoken to someone at TC yet ? Or is it just based on what the dealer says ? Maybe TC can offer the same

  200-300 isn't much if u are buying a 50000 car.
  its about servicing after u bought the car
  tan chong big company so i think even after u buy
  u got prob u can go back and ask around
  they are more friendly to help

  200-300 isnt a lot if u talking about long term,
  
  what if your car encounters problems, over the years u probably spend much more then 300 , if not 3,000 for the maintainance

  Just signed last month for a cefiro 230jm. They quote insurance at about 950.
  Excess at about 700. At the moment, I am using NTUC. So kepoh, go NTUC to ask. They quote me 750 with no excess. I can also insure my NCB at NTUC but not at AIG. Only problem is that if anything happen, i must go to IDAC first whereas if with AIG, i go straight to TC workshop.

  AIG if need to go IDAC...need to pay a fee
  
  In other words, NTUC can be more convenient as both parties (involve in an accident) can get everything sorted out at IDAC first
