.... Hi all,

Just gotten a used CL7A and have some questions that need seniors help. ...


You are not a new owner. You did NOT buy from a PI.

What is wrong with my language? Are you offended? Maybe you should consider posting elsewhere where incomplete honesty and tampering with others' posts are acceptable.

Posted: Wed Jun 03, 2009 5:54 pm Post subject: Buying Wish'09 Experience from Vincar on 1st June 2009
OVERVIEW

The main aim of this thread is to share my buying experience with the rest here.

For the last few weeks, I was deciding on a car to buy. A car which can hopefully last a long time without the need to change in the near future. So finally I decided to get the new 2009 Wish.

After reading some good comments on this particular dealer ( also from this forum ), I decided to contact him and meet him at Ubi Vincar on 1st June 2009.

VINCAR

Having so many different PI companies to buy from, with so many difference prices. I decided on Vincar firstly because it's a big company. A big company usually means that they will treat customers better and have better services. Secondly it's because the workshop which Vincar provides servicing is MBM, which I've heard that it's quite a good workshop too.

SALESMAN

I SMSed him, and even though he was in the Leng Kee branch, he offered to come down to the UBI branch just to meet up with me and show me the car. Generally he seems to be a very pleasant guy, and I don't feel any forced-sales technique. He provides as much information as he can, and even though it's near to their closing time, he didn't seem to mind and let me take my time to look at the car and discuss the fine details.

DETAILS

Finally I decided to sit down and run through the buying details.
We managed to agree on a price of $73k with the following details:

Car details:
Colour : Black
Coe : Rebate at 5k, no top-up required.
Interest rate : 2.75%
OMV : Promised to be around 15-18k ( which I think is a bit low )
Delivery : He promised to deliver at around 1.5 months time. We'll see.

Accessories:
- Black Leather seats ( Full Leather from Jackspeed )
- Sports Rims ( Will choose the exact design on a later date)
- Pioneer DVD player ( AVH-P4150DVD )
- LCD screen ( China no brand )
- Reverse sensor and Camera ( Initially wanted the 4 pieces sensor but he convinced me that the 2 pieces one is good enough )
- Alarm
- Floormats
- Solar film

Initially I asked for the window visor as well, but he said it's currently out of stock and is willing to take $40 off the price, but I forgotten all about it later. hahaha.. ( FYI, the window visor was installed for me when I collected the car )

Anyway, I will try to update this thread as time goes by and update you guys on the whole buying experience. If at the end of everything, You would like the contact of this Vincar Dealer, do just give me a PM and I'll pass u his contact. Do leave any comments which you will like to share with me as well. Thanks.

UPDATES

3rd June 2009

Was told that Loan has been approved.
Also, the new COE prices increased from $9180 to $11889

My PI SMSed me today, saying that it was a good thing i bought on 1st June, cos now the 09'Wish cost $3k more.

Well.. as long as he keep to his promise of delivery my car in 1.5 Months time, I don't really care.

8th July 2009

Pi called. Asking me to go down to settle remaining downpayment and will be able to collect car in 1 week! Was also told the OMV will be around 21k.
Hurray.. finally the wait is almost over.

20th July 2009

Supposed to collect car on this day. But morning, PI called saying the contractors are very busy hence got to delay my collection. Says that will most like be able to collect on the same Friday, 24th July.

24th July 2009

YEAH! FINALLY COLLECTED MY CAR!

COE - $14840
OMV - $21116

CONCLUSION

Overall experience with Vincar and my car agent is good. Everything has been explained clearly to me, and i did not feel that there's any hidden cost or dishonesty. Most importantly, the agent keeps to his promise ( 1.5 months ) and delivered my car on time. Even though initially he brought me a bad news, saying that my sports rims is out of stock, but in the end, he still managed to get the rims when I collected my ride. The OMV declared for the car is reasonable as well.

Posted: Tue Jun 30, 2009 9:05 pm Post subject: Buying Wish'09 Experience from Vincar
Guys,

Last Sat, I took delivery of my 2009 Toyora Wish from Vincar and thought I might want to share my experience.

First, I am not related to Vincar in anyway except for this transaction. I thought I just wanted to share some info with potential new buyers out there...

25-Apr
- Booked 2009 Toyota Wish 1.8X at $69,688 (no push-start) and gauranteed COE in 4 bids with no top-up.
- The $69,988 advertised price already included upgrade accessories (leather seats, solar films, reverse sensor/camera, Pioneer head unit, sports rims, alarm, car mats, visors).
- Added condition on sales agreement that car must deliver by 30-Jun. If not, there will be a discount off the car price. Just a motivation factor to make sure the Vincar works on the deal.
- COE price then was $7,490.

21-May
- Gotten the COE on the 2nd out of maximum of 4 bids at $9,180.

12-Jun
- No news from Vincar (I am fine with it since the dateline is 30-Jun) until I called to check status. Was told that the car will likely arrive Singapore on ~20-Jun.

17-Jun
- Was asked for previous insurance info so that my 50% NCD can be transfered to the new car.

21-Jun
- Settled first payment.
- Selected leather colour and sports rims.
- Was informed that the declared OMV was ~$21,000 (nice!) and likely to collect the car on 27-Jun or 29-Jun.

26-Jun
- Was notified of the car license plate number and can collect the car on 27-Jun.

27-Jun
- Collected car.
