For new S4..do you think buying from Boon Siew is a good idea? (I think price will be higher than other shops..but maybe a few hundreds more..)

 

This is my findings so far:

Most Expensive: Boon Siew Singapore Pte Ltd

Most Cheap: Bike Production

 

I would suggest that u get AT LEAST 5 quotation from different bike shop,DO NOT commit on the spot,go back home check with friends or even online,and then decide which bike shop to buy from...

 

Have u came up a list of questions to ask??

 

btw,sometimes the salesman can "twist" their words.

 

For me,before i buy from boon siew singapore pte ltd.Their sales consultant say no guarantor required.Just now,he called to say guarantor REQUIRED liao...

I am currently searching for threads related to the reputation of Looi's and Mah Pte Ltd. Yet to find any. Any bros here have the link to the threads for Looi's and Mah, or if you have any experience with them, with regards to buying new bike, pls share your experience here.

unlikely u can find lots of thread on looi's or mah

1. their pricing are not the cheapest available (and the general trend in sbf is going for low price).

2. they are very straightforward in their dealings. very transparent as well.

3. if you can afford to pay cash (lots of or in full), they are the folks you look for.

4. they are generally popular with big bikers (and people who can afford. see 1. to 3.)

MAH MOTOR quite similiar to loois , those big companies will not have hidden fees as they will not be interested in your few hundreds bucks compare to their reputation

I agree with you.

 

Looi's are straightforward, no hidden costs and after sales service is good. Might be a little expensive.

 

Not sure about Mah. Never bought from them.

Hey bro,

thanx for your input. I understand that Looi's and Mah are definitely not the best place to go to if one is looking for cheap bike. Good things don't come cheap and I strongly agree with that.

Any bro here bought their Spec III from Looi's or Mah recently, can PM me and let me know their pricing? I know it would be more expensive, but I would just like to know how much more expensive so that I can do some comparison.

Really appreciate any helps or advices given on this issue.

you are dead right! Actually if u catch Mr Lee (looi's motor) in a good mood he will sell the bike to u at a very competitive price! If I'm not wrong, his S4s are PI.

not just looi's, mah's s4 are parallel import as well (not that it really matters).

 

friedfishz: mah's s4 (as well as looi's) are $13k+ OTR depending on age. price is all inclusive except interest (depending on how much you loan). best is to give them a call or visit personally to find out. p/s: you can also pm brembo for more info.

[hit.man]

Hey floppy,

Really appreciate this info. I will definitely pay Looi's a visit but that'll be after I get my 2A in Dec. Confirm will buy brand new Spec III, just a matter of from which shop.

Anyway, what's the procedure like? Let's say you decided to buy the bike. Do you pay a deposit or confirmation fee ($200-$300?) or straight away pay the initial amount you intend to pay (eg 4k)?

For my case,i wanna pay my downpayment thru visa (after signing the sales agreement) but the cashier say cannot go thru...( i SUSPECT they wanna save on the charges to visa company...),so end up i pay thru NETS which has a daily limit of $2k.

 

After this 1st downpayment,i need to go down again for my second downpayment.After settling my downpayment,i pass them my I/C for them to register the bike for me.

 

Lastly,i need my guarantor to come down to the shop and sign off the document before i can collect my bike.

 

Hope this helps.
