What to say to the dealer
Cohort + market signals you can cite in person to bring the asking price down.
- Plenty of this trim around right now — pull up two others from the same year on your phone and quote them. Sellers cave when you show a like-for-like cheaper car.
- Typical mileage for this car is 112,757 km. Anything over 146,584 km should be at least 10% under S$53k — point to the typical figure when you negotiate.
- About 15% of these were ex-private-hire, which already pins the price floor near S$53k. A clean-history car shouldn't ask more than that — get the seller to justify any premium.
