worth for this bike? got tio tock bo? =(

[eedwinn]

How much deposit did you put?

[Simmz]

hi everyone. as i'm really new to the biking family.. dunno alot of things..

 

ytd went to this motor-tiam.. saw this FR plate de SP. like it alot. so ask the mech there for its price and stuffs. he led me into his office and offered to calculate for me.

 

he quoted me a price of $2300 for that SP. and $1000 for the COE renewal, cuz i tink FR plate de only left wif 2 years? its until dec 2009 i tink..

 

so total for the bike + COE renewal is $3300 without insaurance / interest as i'm getting the installment plan. for insaurance it was $588.

 

so wad eu guys think? is it worth for this bike? he offered a free paintjob and also change of the 'visor' infront of the bike.. seat too... and have some freebies like a helmet + a raincoat. hah. i really dunno whether its worth or not. i ask my frens they sae its rather reasonable? so i put a deposit liao. really hope i neva tio tock like a carrot on the chopping board =/

 

FR plate selling @ 2.3k Consider quite steep liao. Do more pricing comparison and consider where to buy. Don't forget when getting a bike through bike shop, you'll have to calculate things like:

 

1. Agreement Fee

2. GST (7%)

3. Transfer Fee

4. Interest Rate

5. Insurance Premium

 

To be frank with you, usually some "Black Shop" will capture customer's heart by giving freebies like what you mention above. If you really calculate, all the so called "Freebies" are all included inside. Always remember, there's nothing free in this world.

 

Another thing which you should also look in:

 

-Will i be upgrading to a bigger bike?

-Is it wise for me to spend alot on a 2B bike?

-How much am i able to fetch after selling my current bike?

 

Last but not least, always get someone which has a little bike knowledge with you. Ask him to test the bike for you. After a full consideration, then you decide whether to buy or not.

Ps: From what i know, there's some bike shop out there which they will make the price and package which interest you. I'm not going to mention any names here. But bear this in mind, "Cheap things will never be good & Good things will never be cheap."

 

Anyway good luck on your TP!

One point to note...Your money, your dream..You siong tio ho...Simple as that.....

Expensive or not, you have brought the bike...Just enjoy it dude...welcome to the biking world and ride safe...yeah!

Np. Anyway you're taking your license at which Driving Centre?

Well you actually consider going down to Bike's Production. They offer good price over. Well like what i said, do some research 1st den decide what to do. From what i can say about bike's production is, they offer good service & low interest rate... i believe like what you say. you're buying bike with your friends... the shop should be able offer you guys a better price.

Anyway if you do need help, you can gimmi a PM.

It's wise to do preparation rather than future regrets...

ehh. i taking at BBDC lorhs.. this 26th tp + bike collection.. so was like thinking if can find a few bros online to help me test bike =x cuz all my frens including me also noob noob one.

[craz_03]

My fren sold FR plate SP 6 months ago for abt 1.3-1.5K ....

 

u like that sp alot? which part or whatever thing do you like it? a FR plate @ 2.3k is abit too high bro. u can easliy get one FT or FU at 2.3k. from there u can slowly do up ur bike. eg) if u like that fr plate paintwork, u can slowly save money and do it up.

 

kena tock.

i 3rd this. forgo the $50 deposit. $50 is nothing compared to what u are going to get carrotted over the next few years while paying the bike installments:cheeky:

[Yongster]

i 2nd this.. i feel forum has better offers and the quality and words said are more trustable.. u can see how the person look aft his bike all these.. jus my 2cents..

I 3rd this.... if i were to sell my bike, i rather sell it to someone in the forum at the same price or even slightly lower than wat bike shop take in.....

can make frens and at the same time can see how yr bike is being taken care of even when not under yr care.........

 

I rather benefit others rather than commercial entitles as sme bike shops really chop people and newbies like they deserve it.........

[ghost04]

i think forget about the 50 deposit. listen to the advice from ppl here. look ard...the ppl here r trying to help u save. FR plate for tat price is ex. wat is a 50 deposit compare to the few hundred the ppl here might help u save for ur bike?

[Stardust83]

Wow...quite a high price for a FR plate SP bro....

[josephsbs]

he quoted me a price of $2300 for that SP. and $1000 for the COE renewal, cuz i tink FR plate de only left wif 2 years? its until dec 2009 i tink..

 

so total for the bike + COE renewal is $3300 without insaurance / interest as i'm getting the installment plan. for insaurance it was $588.

u dun really need the renew of coe now.

FR is quite old liao.. problem will surface cuz of the wear and tear.

bike's COE still got 2 years.... why need to renew COE now?

salesman's motive is highly questionable! unless he has VERY GOOD insider news that COE will chiong upwards & become very expensive 2 years later. old bike PQP COE is not like new bike COE which goes up-n-down like stock market. if he so good, then no need be salesman liow

 

the last PQP COE price is $1,121... howcome a discounted price of $1000? is shop trying to get rid of excess COEs stuck on hand??? understand that COE becomes useless "paper" if don't register with bike within 6 months... dunno applicable for PQP COEs or not

 

lets do some estimations to help you understand costs involved... $$ all aga aga one la, u go find out and change the figures for more accuracy...

 

machine price = $2,300

COE = $1,000???

1 year road tax = $70+

3rd party insurance = $700 (assume u very young)

inspection fee = $49

bike transfer fee = $40+

round up total to about = $4,160

any other costs????

 

down payment = $660

loan amount = $3,500

interest @6% over 3 years = $210 x 3 yrs = $630

36x monthly installment = $114.72

 

ahh. the guy sae 30th i can go down for viewing/collection. den if not satisfied can return the deposit. but my parents and me think otherwise. cuz deposit normally give liao jiu cannot take back yea? =/

i haven't heard of any shop so good can take back deposit

50 dollor take it as buy 4D lose it liao.

For insurance now it's much more expensive already. Even for third party... for now i tink it's about 800+ for the insurance... and what's more... mitsui insurance premium now is much more exp compare 2 NTUC liao. When i got my ZXR400 (1 mth back) Ntuc quote me about $500 for 3rd... and i ask Mitsui... they quote me 1k+ for third party... stunned... speechless... anyway i pass my 2b 5yrs ago... so u guys can imagine how much does insurance cost now a days...
