T&T OFFICIAL New Vehicle Prices & Discussion Thread

I did some back of the envolope math with an estimate of insurance @ 10K and an average cost of service at 2K (I have no idea of how much servcie is) per visit with 2 visits per year and that was another 12K over the 3 years.

That adds bout that's added 42K to the TCO give a a few thousad dollars for tthe 3 years. The interest they were offering on the IN ONE was 6%. They also said the max downpayment was 40%,

So unless I'm missing something the maths favors in one.

The price of the car also chnages from in-one, to cash to fully finaced by ANSA.

So its a lot to consider.

So let me get this straight. A basic 318i is $370k and comes with 5 years free insurance and service? If so then despite that silly 3 pot engine, it doesn't sound so bad after all.

if u guys could afford to spend 370k CASH & not be dependent on a loan to buy a car would u still be considering a kia, ford or mazda?

no...@370 I'm looking at Nissan, Toyota and possible Hyundia.

I had in one on a Lancer bought in 2011. After three years of free service and having had quotes from both the bank and insurance in year one by my calculations the in one came out to $200 more over the life of the loan. I was allowed 40% down though.

Was the $200 difference of the In One worth it?

IMO yes. The other two times I bought a car the hassle of getting everything in order I would gladly do without for a few hundred dollars i.e. Bank, attorney, insurance. Them to service you just drop and pickup. No worries bout cost and paying.

We bought the 2017 Elantra - mid spec. Collected it from Massy last week Wednesday. Pretty satisfied so far. I'm not a "car guy" so I the most I can say is that its driving much nicer than our old sad vehicle.
Having a slight buyers remorse for not spending the extra 15K for the high spec and getting auto ac, power seats and rear ac. However keeping the budget was very important us. Now its just to keep my fingers crosses that I get the service I pay for when I carry it to Massy for the maintenance servicing

You might break your fingers trying to cross them hoping for good service from Massy.

Hyundai service costs just as much or maybe more (due to shorter service intervals) than VW.

Yeah hyundai service costs have gone astronomically up over the past few years.

Man I'm in china and even with all the tax and duties a fully loaded GT still 2/3 the price compared to in Trini.
Even the 2.3T here is like half the price to its equivalent

Yeah..It's just it's kinda hard to see the value in paying that for it knowing it starts at 25k u.s elsewhere and considering that there are better options out there. We're not really beating up tho, no one is forcing anyone to buy it lol
