never do i come across a thread that hold Authorised Dealer by their boss, the take it or live it attitude, interesting exchange.
I tend to think that the transacted price might not really be a fair gauge in reflecting the car price, the fellow could have got it cheap but by taking up max loan( What's the max now,80%?), the loan referral fee for the SE i guess it's counter compensating.
The grp purchase is looking at what kind of financing ? Cool hard Cash?

Conversely I'm being told by SEs at the PML used car section that never ever will prices be discounted more than 1+k, and management rather hold the car than to sell. I find that hard to believe. In this market, I've always been quoted discounts of at least 6-7k off the advertised price from external dealers, even without showing cheque book yet.

Hi guys,
Does Group Buy have to be of the same model or series to qualify?
I went with 2 friends who were getting a 335 and 320 but was told that there was no way they could do a special discount for our case.
End up we each bought separately from our SE.
That was 1.5yr back, perhaps situation is different then....

they also need to make money. think pml will probably lose money at your target price of 115k for 520 considering operating cost and commission...
i would be happy to get it at 15k off their current quote price i.e. 145k for 525.
good to see that there are a lot of potential buyers.
btw, does anyone know if we can select the colors from the 5 series individual range? have this leather color that i'm very keen on.

when i booked my 320 pro, i have checked with several SE (don't ask me who). their super super best price can differ $4K -> all things being equal (ie: my old car trade in, loan, etc) -> their commission and willingness to drop their profit differs great length. may be 1 of the SE see me no potential to commit.
so, 520 "best" price can differ $7K between a high and low SE ?

Hey brudder,
130k is doable if you do cash rebate which isn't too good, cos it will tie u up for next few years and if u wanna sell? u need to "pay" UOB back the cash. According to my SE (i just signed on dotted line yesterday for a 520) for 137800 (also gave me 1000 service vouchers), gave me quite a reasonable price i believe....
I think lowest can stretch to 127k (but that's with a 8000 rebate from UOB)....
but will be barest cos their mark up for the 5 is around 27k, unless it's 320 base, which u can get 107k...mark up around 11k.....
Just IMHO....
Cheers
longhorn;420073 said:what's the difference in interest rate between loan with cash rebate and without cash rebate?
congrats on ur new ride btw
this was what i was told:
1) take normal interest 1-6 years 2.75%, 7-10 years 2.8%. no rebates
2) take the special finance package, has to be 10 years loans at 2.99%, you will get 8% of the loan principal in a rebate, but the rebate has to be paid back on a pro-rated basis. so given the current price of the 520 at around 138, and if you take a 100k loan, you get the car at 138-8%x100k=130k. but if you sell the car after 2 years (out of 10), you have to pay back 80% of 8k=6.4k.
no free lunch in this world, you get a rebate in option 2 but it is very restrictive. no way would i go for option 2.
Bonsoir, i was referring to the color in the Individual series, not the normal color. was told it would cost almost up to 10k more and would take 6 months to indent :yikess:
