If you have a better car to advise, pls state it.... Cos I am a first time buyer, need more information from all of u... Tks.
Currently, the depreciation of Nissan March K11 model should be around 4.5K-5K on average. Anything above 5K, you can forget buying it. Try getting directly from owner instead. So no need to pay admin fees.Originally posted by monster78:Went Down to Kaki bukit to check out the cars there. Saw 1 Nissan March. 4 yrs plus more to go. But the dealer want to chop me... Quote 35k and Parf is 10k. which I work out the depreciation will be damn high for 1 litre car (More that 5k). Gonna to check out some more this weekend. Hope for better luck this weekend. Any way, what shoud be the average depreciation for a Nissan March. Saw one ad this week. Selling for 19k which Parf is 10k also. 2 more yrs to go. Any good advice? Thanks.
"scrap value minus 5%"? Then, why the owner don't scrap the car directly?Originally posted by flash9933:Most dealers are taking in cars that are more than 5 years old at scrap value minus 5%. So thru buying from owners, both parties are in win-win situation.
If the owner scrap the car himself, LTA will only give him back a piece of PARF paper which can be used to offset when buying a new car. This piece of PARF paper some more got 6 months expiry date.Originally posted by LLukeShen:"scrap value minus 5%"? Then, why the owner don't scrap the car directly?
