Hi all,
Just bought the new Toyota Altis today. Went down to BM and paid the initial deposit liao. Heard some great reviews abt it though its thai-made. However i heard from other forums that thai-assembled parts might produce some costly problems down the road. comments?? -

Borneo motors got offer 2 type of scheme one. one is classic, one is gold. think different payment scheme la. and ya i taking 10 yrs.Originally posted by wuming78:simi si gold scheme? and u taking 10 yrs?

COE think not yet guranteed.
have to wait till next wed after COE closes. those guys told me that if COE drops - take lower value. if higher - take current value at the point of sale. if u buy after wed, then have to take COE price thereafter. so now is pray it will drop! but highly unlikely.... -
hey.... 74K for auto or manual ? and how much is the classic scheme ?
-
I read from another forum, that the altis is actually our very own corolla, both are the same cars, just that the Corolla in Singapore is visually the same as the one sold in Japan whereas the Corolla Altis is a version which was customised for CKD markets.
Technically, they are identical. If the Altis version is going to Singapore, then it could be due to the AFTA thing where Toyota feels it would be more cost-effective to ship from Thailand than Japan. They may save some money in duties although I
am not sure how the Singapore tax structure works. -
74k for autoOriginally posted by goober:hey.... 74K for auto or manual ? and how much is the classic scheme ?
manual i think is 72k
classic scheme cheaper by a few hundred bucks...cant remember...wait later i check the price list...
-
did u have to take up the HSBC financing where they give you 2K discount ?
also, from BM website, the vios (A) 1.5 E is 67K on gold scheme. That means with 7K more, you get a 1.6 Altis....
hmm... tempting.... -
Hi,
The initial deposit will be gone if you cancel the car
Is there any minimum amount we can give
So your down payment is $10400 all together la
If you put downpayment at $ 10400 next time if said you want to sell away (touch wood) then need to pay back money or not???
By the way, the classic payment... wat different huh?
One more thing, is the aircon electronic control or those analog turning knob???? all 4 wheels are disc brakes?
I was thinking of buying the corolla too but got to save for higher downpayment so that the monthly not that siong..... i find that so far, corolla provide more space than other car in the same category, fuel economy and vvti got power too.
Does the car come with freebies???

think the minimum amt will be $2,040 - $10400.
selling away not too sure.
the classic payment i think is lower instalment but higher downpayment...and maybe minus the freebies...
aircon is push button technology. 4 x disc brake system.
freebies got a few. i only like the chrome handles and reverse sensors. -
hey guys.....
will be goin to ubi car mart this weekend to see what's on offer in the marktet before deciding to get a new car or second hand.
Besides Ubi and kaki bukit, any other second hand marts worth checking out ?
anyone know if car prices can still go lower especially with AFTA coming in in 2005 and the increase in new COEs set to hit the market ?? -
For those interested, the ALTIS will be officially launched this Friday at 33, Leng Kee Road, Borneo Motors Showroom from 630pm onwards.
There is a free buffet for all the cheapolos : ) -

hi folks,
went for the altis launch yesterday and i must say the car is awesome....
it really is cheap and for those going for the vios, i would advise paying a bit more for the altis.
in malaysia, the prices for toyotas are as follows :
1.5 Vios - 78K
1.6 Altis - 120K
2.0 Camry - 147K
But in Singapore, the prices are as follows :
1.5 Vios - 66K
1.6 Altis - 74K
2.0 Camry - 108K
so, you can clearly see, there is a huge discount for the altis in singapore. toyota have made a good job in getting the altis assembled in thailand so that consumers here can enjoy a better quality car at a much affordable price ! -
i've drove the altis 1.8 before, quite often tho i must say. all i can say that its a great car, interior is typical jap standard, but it's definately powerful, den again my daily driver is a 1.5 wira so thats not saying much
comes with trc control and vvt-i, all in all a great daily driver, auto would have been great if it came with tiptronic but i've yet to drive the manual though, -
i just booked the toyota corolla altis last sunday. 1.6litres version. wonder which other countries in the region has the 1.6 version? seems that all i hear about overseas altis is the 1.8 version !
anyone thinks that i should have bought the 1.8 version instead?
$9000 more......
i did seem to hear louder engine noise during acceleration.....does anyone care to support my perception? -
Hi all
Classic payment allows 6 bids for COE non-guaranteed.
Gold payment gives guaranteed COE, think the difference is $1,000.
There are two levels of trim: Standard and Deluxe...
The aircon is an automatic aircon. From reviews I read, it seems to provide a good flow of cool air to the whole cabin, since the temperature sensors are all over the car.
The audio is an in-dash CD/mp3 player... no changer though. Yes, there are 4 disc brakes.
The Malaysian cars come with traction control, which I don't think is available here
something not usually seen in this level of car... and yah, it's not like Toyota's giving a discount for S'poreans (still damn ex ah!) M'sian cars are so expensive bcoz of high import duties levied on foreign-made cars... to protect their own car manufacturers...
I think the M'sian 1.8l Altis costs SGD 54,000... about there, so still cheaper than S'pore.
Actually the 1.6l version is available overseas as well. This Altis is also sold in the US.
I've test-driven and ordered the 1.8l one liao... $80+k for a 1.8 car is a good deal, 136PS/ 171 Nm of torque for such a light car is cool as well though think most pple would be fine with the 1.6l....
Alas... no manual trans! Will miss my manual car...
Does anyone agree with me that the SEs at BM in Leng Kee do not provide good service?
Anyways the engine is a chain-cam, which is more reliable than the standard timing belt. 90% of engine components come from Japan though I believe the engine is made in China. The auto trans is made in Japan, the steel comes from Japan and the rest are assembled in Thailand.
Heh the Camry's replacement is made in Thailand as well. If the quality is there and the price is so much cheaper, why not?
