  Btw, if it was stated COE rebate at $3000 means:

  1) Max rebate of COE at $3000 or

  2) rebate of COE when COE falls below $3000, ie, COE=$2000 I get $1000 rebate?

  unless you're driving your KIA with the window rolled down and waving to a friend and you arm got hit by a speeding GTR so it got ripped off, i don't think you got ripped off.

  Now that the number of orders have exceeded the quota... it might be difficult to get your cars by the first bid... Keep your fingers crossed....

  Ermm.. what's SE ah?

  But your COE rebate so low... $3000 only right?

  Other car makes have COE rebates of at least $5000....

  True..it may be hard to get coe this bid...Since our rebate is at $3k...It is not possible for us to get a rebate...but after all i tink ultimately they will still bid for us to get the coe rather than refund us to give up the deal..

  Laoda99, what colour did u book? My SE told me there are stocks for black and blue for Dec and Jan shipment...

  Visors cost how much ar? Mabbe I can call up my SE to ask for it too..hehe Prob when coe results out i call him up to ask...

  Getting a rebate at $3000 is unlikely and unthinkable.... Better chase for your car instead... that's more important...

  Higher than what we bidded...gotta wait for the next bidding exercise...hopefully we can secure the coe soon...

  Hi guys

  Just bought picanto from C&C for 32999.

  Was asked to top up 200 for solar film and 650 for leather seats.

  Have I been ripped off?

  That's the normal price that is charged by local workshops. Those 2 are not factory-fitted items.

  Oh...I expected higher premiums... but anyway..just as I expected...It's difficult to secure the car within the first bid generally...Hope to get your car real soon...

  2nd round of COE bidding for all who bought the same purchases... Will we get it?

  no boot. Within three years, you will regret for not buying a sedan or bigger-sized car.

  Methinks you should have bought a second hand picanto anyway since you will be unsatisfied with it in a couple of years time.
