Kia Picanto... who else bought one?
-
Hi, what is the colour of your Picanto? From the pictures in your website, it seems to be silver. Kindly enlighten. Thank you.Originally posted by j19021974:Ya, the scoff plates and visor will be in together. Anyway the people bringing in is JC5 at Jln Sultan, opposite Textile Center(check www.swog.com.sg) They agreed that I can use my Pica for sample car to show C&C and later sell the kit to me at a cheaper price. BTW, there is no board at the back, I create one myself using foam board (temporary). My sales will order for me. I had it is about $20+.
Me love my Pica -

hi, if possible post the price list for all the accessories of pica on the forum so who ever want can place order. About the board luckily I make a deal with my SA if the car don't come with the board, he will give me $100 to make myself. As you said you SA order the board for you at $20+, if I get my Pica can ask your SA order one for me ?Originally posted by j19021974:Ya, the scoff plates and visor will be in together.

Pica! Pica! this time round COE no one get one. If next COE bidding still no one get one, I think the heat on this forum going to die off. Hopfully some of us get one on next COE bidding to make this forum warmer again. In the mean time only can depend on j19021974 to keep this forum luke warm. Hey j19021974 keep posting. Why not post some of the interior photos of you Pica and photos of mod your have done. And most of all photos of your Pica with body kit once your have fit them.

You are being mislead that C&C does not make much from the Picanto sales.
I did my sums and calculated, that based on COE prices at S$28,000, C&C still makes between S$5,000 to S$7,000 profit for every Picanto sold.
Please remember that the OMV of the Picanto is very low. Only S$6,000Originally posted by Vinsanne:I think there was a $300 petrol voucher which I have off set to the total car price. I got the $300 shopping voucher from the LuckyDraw. My sales rep. mentioned to me that i might be able to convert the shopping voucher to a reduced cash rebate (still pending).
I have checked with other car sales rep. from other competing brand. They told me that the Picanto is already a very good deal and the agent (Cycle&Carriage) is actually not making much from this car.
Of course, if you are buying from a generous sales rep. that would take less commission, you might want to try to get cash rebate

Hey everyone i did check with my friend already.they told me that after 6Bid if they stil can't get the coe we can get the booking fee refund,or wait for another biding or they will top up for us if the difference is not big or we top up ourself.But they still give me a boost that they will sure get before 6bid i dun know how true is that.
Anyway kingfisher if the guy post the price list to u or e-mail the price list to u can i have a copy of it.thank u. -
Wah nex monday is another round of biding hopefully those who book for a pica can get the coe. N best wish to all those who book pica n me tooo.

Sure. Sure. I intend to put spoiler, visor and most of all scuff plates to protect scatches cause by my 2 kids when they board the car.Originally posted by kinkichong:Hey everyone i did check with my friend already.they told me that after 6Bid if they stil can't get the coe we can get the booking fee refund,or wait for another biding or they will top up for us if the difference is not big or we top up ourself.But they still give me a boost that they will sure get before 6bid i dun know how true is that.

kingfisher sifu how much do u think it will cost u
-
Hi Kingfisher, according to JC5 at Jln Sultan (address at www.swog.com.sg) the visor and rear spoiler cost about $120 to $180 each. Still not sure. If that is the case, the visor can get at Alexander. According to John at JC5, the visor cost about $120 (bit expensive). FYI, Pica air-con is very cold.
-
Whatever the case, please DO NOT top up the extra S$1,500 for guaranteed COE. After top up, the annual dep will be in excess of S$5K per annum, which is ridiculous for a 1.1l Korean car.Originally posted by kinkichong:Hey everyone i did check with my friend already.they told me that after 6Bid if they stil can't get the coe we can get the booking fee refund,or wait for another biding or they will top up for us if the difference is not big or we top up ourself.But they still give me a boost that they will sure get before 6bid i dun know how true is that.

$3K is a high price to pay for leather seats and accesories.. unles C&C is providing you with top grade cow hide.
My friend who booked a Picanto 2 weeks ago got free reverse sensor and keyless remote alarmOriginally posted by kingfisher:Acutally , I booked a MANUAL picanto. with additional of $3000 for leather seat, Rike cool, reverse sensor and alarm, it adds up to $52999. And I put a 10% downpayment which amount to $5300.
After paying $2100 for booking, I still need to pay additional $3200 when makeup 10 % down. Sorry is $3200 not $3300. -
Don't worry too much about not geting your car.
C&C is not stupid. They have been in this busines for decades. They have the margin to secure your COE, even if it rises above S$30K
The only issue is that it eats into their profit levels, so they wil try some tricks to get you to top up.
At the end of the day, if C&C does not secure your COE, they make no money out of you, but if they secue your COE, they can still make some money out of this sale.
And also, if C&C cannot hit KIA Korea's sales targets, they wil be taken off the KIA dealership in S'pore.
So please relax. You can get your car without any top ups.Originally posted by Bowling xiao:Hi Hi,
My coe rebate is $20,000, also 3 mths 6 bids. the SA did not tell me what will happen after 6 unsuccessful bids. Before I booked Picanto, I nearly booked the Hyundai Getz. The SA there said that if still cannot get after several tries, the company will offer a package to secure COE. I think she must have meant that I need to top up some $$.
This time coe price was so high.. $28,798 leh.. I looked the price, I already knew no hope this time. Hope better luck next time lah... 23 Jun...
Results can be checked online 1 hr after bid closed.. just key in your NRIC.. -
Vit4WD thanks man its is really a smoother for me,Cos 1st time owning a 1st hand car very anxious.

Look like I am a bit late to come back to the forum. j19021974 has post the prices. Yes I do agree with j19021974, the visor is too expensive. My present Toyota visor only cause about $80 for new, $40 for secondhand. As for the spoiler is reasonable.Originally posted by kinkichong:kingfisher sifu how much do u think it will cost u -
I also think is too expensive. Will try to make sure he give a best grade leather seat. Anybody out there know how to see the different grade of leather? As nowaday even man made leather can have original leather scent.Originally posted by Vit4WD:$3K is a high price to pay for leather seats and accesories.. unles C&C is providing you with top grade cow hide.

Hey requested by my kids, go down to C&C to look at Pica again. Now there is only one car furthermore is a test car in Ubi. Have take a second look and check the cabin space, confirmed few things:
a. 3 persons of my size(1.72m,65kg) seating behind no problem.Please note that the 2 front seats adjusted to allow person of my size sit comfortably.
b. The rear mirror can tilt to shield the glaring light from car behind.
c.With the tray remove in the boot, the storage space is quite good.
And have talk to my SA, this time round they did not bid for me as the car is not in Singapore yet. According to him will be in in July and each shipment about 100 cars. Also he said the booking is quite good so far about 400 to 500 Pica has been booked. Some people have to collect their car as late as October. Is overwhelming ! -
Who ever out there booked a black Pica, wah! chio chio! Saw it at Ubi C&C. Look like a black panther. But too bad some sotong go and test drive it damage the rear light on the right, dent and scratch both right hand doors.

Not really sure. But can be following scenerio:Originally posted by VanHelsing:Hi Everyone ,

1. is the instalment for a weekend car OR
2. is the instalment after they deduct the DBS 20% rebate(if you get a DBS loan) that spread over first 12 months period. After that you pay full amount of the instalment.
More likely is the second scenerio.
