At what price did you book? if you booked at 47999 + 5000(topup) = 52999
wow thats the price of the 2L forte, might as well ask them to convert your order to 2L, if topup lesser than 2K than you can consider as 2L profit is higher.

I think i'm going down to take a look at the BK again. I wanna consider if it's worth the 1k.

ok. here is de news tat says abt the supply cut in september. but not yet announced de total coes from sep.

if they willing to give u 1000 for the BK i think is good. i was told its worth is either 500 or 800, not very confirm which.

Fortei's one is EX right.

Thanks mwerkz for the info, I think that's a high possibility for them to cut the quota.

I thought it was 1.5k? Mancando only has the rear spoiler now so can't compare prices also.

Price no standard one. depends on how much the SE wanna chop you.
My SE for example quote me $385 for auto folding mirror.

Does anyone have any info on bodykit values? After market ones, not the C&C.

Fire my SE after the 2nd n 3rd bid which missed by $1 n $2 repectively, threaten if the 4th bid not successful, will bid myself during the 5th bid which is July 1st open bidding, cant affort to take the risk for 6 unsuccessful bid as I trade in my old ride with certain value, things will be complicated if dont secure the COE n will sure get corner by CnC after 6 unsuccessful bid. called my SE again to squeeze for auto fold mirrior but din get it, top up $300 which is the same price as mancando but warranty under CnC, let them make some money and hope CnC will try harder, visit my SE the sat before the 4th bid at Ubi to stress my points again, and they bid $13,388 at 4th bid, manage to secure my COE on 17th June.

We had sign the authorise letter for CnC to bid on our behalf, but we can bid ourselve if we insist, be prepared to have 10K deposit with LTA, the agent just 1 2 control the market rate when they bid on our behalf, if all individual all bid sky high price just to secure the COEs, the whole COEs price will be messy and the price will shoot up sky high which affect the agent profit, for those bros n sis which left 1 or 2 bid, can try to suggest to your SE bid yourself the next round.

If you bid yourself, then how much do they refund you? Cause the price you paid includes COE right?

I did not bid myself, our booking price include COE, if your bid successful, the deposit will be used to offset for car registration, either they refund you the amount or reduce the total loan amount. But can garantee you, they die die wouldn't let you bid yoyrself, when they know you r serious and able to do it yourself, they will try their best to secure the COE on the next round, they dont 1 you to push up the average price of COE, just my 2 cents.

The thing is I'm not sure how much are they willing to refund, if they are willing to give me back 10k then I can bid myself. If less than that amt then I'll rather topup.

don't think they would offer such a good deal right .

Bro nofears, how much is your loan amount? when did u book your ride and how much? my SE keep assuring me dont need to top up, said is not CnC practice, when I mentioned to him that some of our bros n sis get their reserve price revised, he also said is not CnC pratice.

I think you can tell your SE, no fat profit business confirm plus chop not their company practise keke. I wanted to bid myself too but they would not coz they say it is linked to their company bank account but I gave enough bo chup to my SE, this coming bid is the showhand bid, coz I'm gonna give my SE one jialat jialat lecture if my time was wasted for 3 months keke

Yup mine is EX..

Bro Eraser, I agreed with u becoz waiting for 3 months or longer for stock after booking is VERY very VERY very VERY RIDICULOUS even with the current rising COE.

was told by SE there's a big shipment coming in next week... i wonder if it's their strategy to make ppl to top up now. meaning to say they can earn from this top up and also make it look like their cars are highly sought after, and it seems like they are making us feel 'while stocks last' . if all of us dun top up, they will have too much stocks in the warehouse... hmmm....

I saw plenty of Forte ready for shipment, in Korea....

Are you able to enquire how many are shiping to here? and the ETA as well?

erms. my contract states dey only refund me if coe is less den 2k; so i guess if for my case i choose to bid myself, dey will refund me 2k only. so make sure u c ur contract rite n dun get into a stupid situation when u have a 13k coe n dey refund u 2k. tat's a topup equivalent to 11k.

so read de terms of ur contract right.

The SE should be able to show you a shipment listing indicating the # of units, Model and Colours. ETA should be included. I asked for it when booking my car earlier in late April. Cheers.

If I didn't interpret wrongly, it means if the COE value that you got is 2K
eg. the company will refund you the balance of $500 if your COE is valued at 2K and you won't get any refund for any coe higher than 2K

ETA was given jun/july. Hmm if the SE showed you the # of units also no use unless your SE told you which colour and model is available judging from the current order they have, then I think is good service liao.

Just wanted to checked if any fishy going on.

Mine is 1.6 (A) SX.

Last Mon, my SE said COE bid failed. Today, he called and said, my car will be in next Mon, 28th Jun 09. I said my COE how ? He said he check and call me back. Later, he called and told me, my COE went thru at S$15,000. !!!!?????

Anyway if u can get the COE , whether A or E is

Better ask if the COE is open cat anot since last result's open cat was at 15k but anway the difference between CAT A of the same round is less than 3K so still ok

I agree should just top up a few k. Even 4k is still cheaper than rebooking or booking another car which is on par with Forte. By the time you search for the other car, ur COE bidding could well end up in Sep which by then, you panic cos' quota cut, COE going higher and higher. That's why in the end I gave in to top up. COE is definitely not coming down, in my opinion. Anyway, most of the car prices out there have been increasing and not decreasing at all.

Many customers asking for guaranteed COE, no wonder they tell u no more open cat. Hai...

Hey Gravin.. dun mind.. can share with me how much you top up? cos my SE suggesting me to top up after all the 6 bids

SE say 2k, but i think BS.. cos now COE so high.. mine oni OPC, somemore, neber write on contract when car coming though say car here liao...

mine also opc leh... i top up 4k... 2k reasonable liao lar. But of course I had the promise on delivery of car. A verbal promise and they delivered this promise. finally, something i can praise about... haha...

maybe you all can try reduce the loan or something..since they most probably earn from that as well...so perhap will jack up the COE bidding...and OPC..well..seems like they earn lesser?

normal or OPC cars , all SE earn the same comm...

how much do u think SE actually earns?
