Hi all,

I have already book the Citroen Berlingo Van.

Seems not bad.

The salesman told me FC is 18km/L

So full tank can go more than 1000 km.

Suit my appetite ...hehee (hope that it true)

 

The Salesman not bad too. Give me a discount and add a few things.

Such as 2 Glass Panel, Insulation (so that I will get less noise during raining time and not that hot during "Hot Sun shining time")

If any of you guy interested can let me know I will past u the contact.

Thanks in advance for the advice.

1) no parf value for goods vehicle .. scrap the body

2) 500 per for diesel and 400 per year for petrol type

3) major service should be at interval of 60k km or 3 yr which ever come first . cost i guess 500 or more

it will depend on the brand...

 

for eurovans, eg kangoo, combo, partner...it will be costlier...my mechs told me it will cost ard $500+ per 50,000km for the pulley system and water pump...

 

$200+ for the timing belt per 60,000km..

 

guess japanese vans will cost lesser...

if u have to take a loan...they will want to look at your company accounts...if you are a new setup...you wont have any accounts to show...

 

if its a new setup...they would want a guarantor who is earning at least $30,000 per annum...

 

so be like me! buy it full cash...problem solved...

that is called the income tax form....every working adult has to submit...but most companies do it on your behalf if you are an employee...

 

so now you are your own "boss", you have to do it yourself...

 

and yes...you have to pay a continuing registration fee for your business every year...$20..

 

most importantly...you have to keep a set of accounts for your company....

 

medisave contributions is $500 i think....initial set up...

 

after that...its according to what you earn...

 

correct me if im worng...
