Buyers of cars when COE result was 12k - dealer bid v low
-
Talking about throwing away money.... getting a car is never an investment.. it is a yearly depreciating costs.
If really want to save... then just wait for the 6 bids.. dont get just change the brand loh.
The trick is never to pay beyond what u are paying for the CAT A in the same mth of the OPEN CAT that u are buying. Hence the top up u still wont lose. Unless one really fail maths.
Go check the past mths COE result and tell the agent exactly which COE u need shld u ever consider open cat.

My buddy's dad who owns a one yr old manual sunny is trading in for an auto sunny ( cost is $47k.) also cant get COE... but he's not worried since his existing car also so new. But if he can get...end result he can lower his mthly instalment.
Offtopic abit
According to my friend who is interested in sunny, her agent told her to wait till 2nd qtr/3rd qtr next yr for a brand new range of sunny if she dont want to risk losing value ( resale mkt
) in future when she sell competiting agst the new range.
There can never be a right time to buy.... COE may drop... may not drop.
New range will keep coming in...
maybe if u dont get by the 6th bid... u will be happy cos u can wait another 6 bid for the new range. I saw the pic... very very nice leh. -
It is the company n the salesperson ( though company has more say)Originally posted by tErI-yAkI:I wondered... Who call the shots when it comes to COE bidding?
The buyer? Or the Salesperson? Or the Car Company?
And will the salesperson disclose how much he bids for your car?
U can find out how much they bid for ur car de.
Go into LTA website on bidding days... key in your ic and check ur bid..
u will know if u are still in for bidding or already outbid. -

New Sunny is likely to be more expensive lah, so i will not wait for it.
Anyway, if I don't get that piece of paper after 6 bids, I will go for other brands of cars, not Nissan anymore. There are some brands that also offer 4 or 6 bids and delivery is guarantee

What to do if they keep bidding low and wasting your time? Can cancel the booking prematurely?

because less 1 customer will not affect them.Originally posted by vvix:What to do if they keep bidding low and wasting your time? Can cancel the booking prematurely?
3rd bid....still did not get
look at the bright side

But by then won't you get hit by the higher bank loan interest?Originally posted by PaulQ:because less 1 customer will not affect them.

COE tingy is a very complex issue.
Firstly, when car dealers post their price for a car, they would have a rough indication how the coe trend over the next few bidding would be like. They can based it on the volume of booking in the auto industry. 1 bid,3bids, 4bids are all gimmicks to entice buyers to pay more if they want the car earlier. So if coe is at all time low, car price are fixed then to cater for a resurge in the COE over the next few months.
Secondly, COE bidding is done usually by the sales manager with no inputs from SE. He/she will bid based on the stock situation and colour availability so that his port charges will not be excessive. i.e first in first out basis.
Thirdly, top up is all a ruse or marketing strategy for the weak. If you stay firm you will eventually get the car at the price you have decided on.
For the case of the new sunny model coming next year, it will most likely fall into cat B as the japan model is also 1.8l and 2 l similar to the new civic. The car is substantially longer about 4.6m whereas new civic is about 4.5m. But in terms of look the new sunny loses out to the civic, it looks like a scaled down cefiro.
My views only -
not much, i go for the minimum loan or no loan option.Originally posted by vvix:But by then won't you get hit by the higher bank loan interest? -
4th bid also did not get.....i think gone case liao
-
Hey paul, how much did they bid for you? I'm exactly in the same situation as u. Bot sunny at 30k one loan. Last bidding, TC bid for me 13.3k. Earlier biddings also very very low..

Hi PaulQ, I booked a Sunny on next day when 12k COE came out on Wednesday. I take loan at 30k, TC bid for me 13.3k last biding.
I think we should get the COE at next two bids. If canÂ’t, IÂ’ll go to Toyota or Honda, donÂ’t want back to TC anymore. If TC fails to get COE for us in next two bids, they will lose a lot of Nissan customers. -
Agree.. But if ur SE ask u to top up 1.5k to secure open CAT, u willing?? Hard to decide man..
-
Hi Gforce9000
We buyers really got to bear with all this nonsense with the dealer. Everytime out-bidded, the SE will ask me to top up which I rejected. Already very fed-up with this kind of treatment...
Two points
1: TC has too many orders, less 1 order will not hurt them
2: No Nissan, buy other brands lor -
Got the COE ...finally
-
Congrats !! Should be getting new car in time for CNY !!!
-
For those who topped up to get COE, u should have waited... this time TC bidded for me @ 14k+.. If only it had risen to that level... Would have earned at least 1k if I scrapped 5 yrs later... Bygones... Just wanna wait for my car.. My SE says will come in mid jan.. SO LOOOOONG???? Paul, hows thing over ur side?
-
My SE also mention Mid-Jan...and give me all kind of reasons. Sound like aunt selling cheap goods, agreed on a cheaper price but tell you she cannot give it to you because the process takes time ....Originally posted by zeronic99:My SE says will come in mid jan.. SO LOOOOONG???? Paul, hows thing over ur side?
Then maybe if you top up, that aunt will say ...." can can , i can give it to you next week"
what type of crap is this -
Conclusion for Nissan Sunny and other car buyers:
Just say "NO" to any TOP UP.
The dealers are playing with u during the first few rounds of COE bidding !
