i think in singapore, a 2000c is more than suffice... even if you drive from that stretch of road that is ultra straight PIE Jurong Tuas to tuas checkpoint, hitting 100km/h is the max? maybe 130km/h before the TP comes..!!!Originally posted by Anima85:well as stated on above.. i intend to buy a vehicle that is 3000 cc and is 11 years old .. yes its second hand so far as i know the road tax will kill me.. and also the monthly interests .. so is there anymore things that i should look out for ? ? and anything to look out when buying an old vehicle ? thank you very much

11 years old is nothing.Originally posted by Anima85:well as stated on above.. i intend to buy a vehicle that is 3000 cc and is 11 years old .. yes its second hand so far as i know the road tax will kill me.. and also the monthly interests .. so is there anymore things that i should look out for ? ? and anything to look out when buying an old vehicle ? thank you very much
You can find out more on vehicle transfer here :-Originally posted by Anima85:i think i am going to get something fairly new.. checked out with the dealer about that 3000 cc vehicle (keep on guessing) . road tax alone is 4k plus a year plus he wont give me any warranty .. wtf.. the millege is rather high too.. well .. i saw those WRXs on sg car marts.. those registered on 2005 , 2004 .. . does those vehicle comes with coe ? well they didnt state the COE is from when to when too.. so i assume say if this vehicle is registed on 2005 the coe will end after ten years ? am i right to say that ?
Example , http://www.sgcarmart.com/main/info-2EHlteL6-1031.html
so i asume i buy this vehicle and i can drive for another 8 years without buying a new coe ?? since its registered on 2005 ? sorry man .. this is the first time i am buying a second hand vehicle so i need more advise etc.. tHank you to all brother and sisters
1. Transfer fee see above postOriginally posted by Anima85:I am no longer looking for that 3000cc vehicle ..
i am looking for a subaru WRX registerd from 2003 to 2005
QUESTIONS
1: if i buy a wrx from a direct owner.. how much is the ownership tranfer fee and is there any other cost that i have to pay ?
2 :http://www.sgcarmart.com/main/info-2AfvBCB-1172.html
Ok lets say if i want this vehicle..does the cost of this vehicle includes the COE in it ? or do i have to buy my own COE for this vehicle ?
3: what millege is considered rather average for a 3 to 4 year old car?
if u feel that a 1800cc car is powerless, then u will be even more disappointed with the performance of a TS, not that it is THAT good looking to begin with. before anyone can give u any suggestions, i think u oughtta ask urself a few questions.Originally posted by Anima85:thank you so much for all the replies.. well do you guys think that a TS wud be a better option or a rex ? i am driving a 1800 cc car now. and i feel that is really powerLESS .. buying a TS wud be like a downgrade but i just love its musclar outlooks (bodykits etc) a rex has power and has outlooks but its much much more expensive :X i am kinda confused of what to buy .. opinion anyone ?
FYI the 3000GT uses a V6 not a V8....V8s are never that popular in jap cars sa compared to their european counterpartsOriginally posted by Anima85:eee... GTO or 3000GT or whatever is not my type.. i wud rather own a celica then that .. well . the 3000cc vehicle is an old luxury vehicle , oh forget about it.. its V8 engine is hopeless..
ok thank you for answering my questions.. and also where can i find a good mechanic to come with me to check out the vehicle.. i am quite worried that the previous owner really really really wack the car hard and its condition is rather bad.. i am a mechanic idiot .. lol.. rather ask u guys then my bf.. he is hopeless... thank you all once againhip hip hurray!
best is buy with turbo...coz troublesome need to lta approve all if wanna turbocharge the TS impreza...a normal wrx will be fine...Originally posted by Anima85:yeap thank you for clearing things up .. and the 3000cc car that i orginally wanted is not the 3000GT or whatsoever.. i already stated that the car that i wanted is an old luxury car that has a v8 engine.. not the 3000GT or GTO
ok , well i have made up moi mine... as for the WRX .. in your guys opinion , do you think the older version or WRX is better or the latest models ? i care less about top speed.. what i want is PICK UP .
If not , i will buy a TS that is cheaper and turbo charge it ... so what do you guys think ?
and more imptly...can the TS's engine take the boost? can the brakes stop well enough? can the chassis handle the extra power?? can the gearbox or drivetrain take the extra power??all these have to come into factor...its not just as simple as bolting on a turbo kit...Originally posted by bmx_rider:best is buy with turbo...coz troublesome need to lta approve all if wanna turbocharge the TS impreza...a normal wrx will be fine...
