Pre-purchase preparation

Verify before you pay

Things to check at viewing — if any fire, treat them as negotiation leverage or as walk-away signals.

Negotiation levers

What to say to the dealer

Cohort + market signals you can cite in person to bring the asking price down.

  • These cars typically sit 82 days before selling — anything advertised over 45 days is ripe for a haggle. Counter 8-10% below asking.
  • Typical mileage for this car is 80,944 km. Anything over 105,227 km should be at least 10% under S$105k — point to the typical figure when you negotiate.
  • Cat B COE is up ~5% QoQ. Sellers may hold firm — move quickly if this is the trim.
