523 no longer in demand

[The Guardian]

This is what a PPSL sales told me when I ask how they value my car.
He said 520 is in demand now cos people dun want to spend so much on maintenance.
True?

I agree 520 higher demand than 523 but due to too much maintenance IMO is bullshit. Due to road tax consideration maybe still acceptable reason.
There are so many factor to consider, like how the car has being taken care of by the owner. So maintenance will be higher for the car that are not well maintained.

 

[The Guardian]

So it's correct about the demand.
Mine has 6wb, m sport steering, m tech kit with lip and rear climate control. Not going to dekit so my lost will be a gain to the next owner.

they have to tell you that so that they can offer you a ridiculously low price for your car.

 

[The Guardian]

What price did they offered u?

73k. I was expecting like 85k thereabout.

You will always get better price for selling it yourself. One way is to put it on consignment.

 

[Citizen69]

whats your model and year? Maybe I'll upgrade from 520 to 523 to taste the power of the 523... wahaha, just kidding.

Bulk of maintenance cost are usually the labour. Spare parts difference between the 520 and 523 is marginal for most, probably same for some as well. Old-schooled salesman will ALWAYs say not so good things about your item, whether car or property.... Heck, even the garang guni man will say your old hand phone no value and offer S$5 to take it in!!!

 

[The Guardian]

Agree with your comments.
Selling yourself is always good provided you have the time and patience with viewing and nego.
Guess that is the price to pay.
Bit the bullet and look forward to the delivery date.

520 is 4 pot while 523 is the legendary 6 pot strawberry engine. The person at PPSL should go copulate with a spider

6cyc Rocks.....






cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeers

 

[sszone]

523 is a much better f10 in my books in terms of maintenance.
some of my customers been driving that for more than 5yr+, no complaints abt oil leak or gearbox.
just lack of torque compared to 520 or 528....at least u have creamy engine sound.....paiseh i old school...haha

 

[The Guardian]

Oil leak is common and I have replaced all those including the oil filter gasket. GB software is the 2016 version that cures the jerk in down shifting.

6 cyc will always sound better than a 4 potter.
Which is why I'm going for the 540m cos this is the only 6 cyc model from the current line up.

 

[douggie]

Just sales talk lah.

Congrats on the 540M! Jin swee with the 20inch rims.

How was the drive

 

[The Guardian]

Ride and butt feel is personal and subjective in my opinion. Just take it out for a spin, the only problem is numerous follow up once you log in to a sales person till you decide. It's free anyway...
