107513286_577248689604516_1135040432246812476_n.jpg

Knowing Lifestyle and their overpricing the Gladiator can very well go for about $750K

IIRC, FCB had a 10 year financing term recently for brand new vehicles. Considering the exorbitant prices for vehicles down here, expect 8+ terms to be a norm because 7 year terms existed since 2012.

They offered it for ansa right before Christmas. It's gone, the most right now I believe is 8 with Massy. Everyone else back to 7yr term. But there's like a 4% IR loan sale until August

A good con job to keep dumb people in debt

That’s a bit harsh You know...

I dunno if laws were altered but there was a time when the Central Bank would only allow vehicle loans for a max of 60 months ( 5 years) then lenders started pushing the terms longer to as much as 10 years and the CB stepped in and they settled at 7, 10 year loans would only appear briefly now and again. Btw nothing is wrong with taking a vehicle loan for a long period, it depends on what you're borrowing for, long term loans for a car to keep up appearances is as stupid as it gets, I'd happily take a long term loan for some trucks and heavy equipment

The Sport actually starts from $525K. Not sure how the Rubicon is priced.

Makes sense. Attracts a lot less taxes being registered as a T.

If wishes were horses, beggars would ride. Not available in T&T unless you willing to fork out $450k? I would migrate just to own this lol.

$450k is not a bad price for a high performance car... Southern Sales on the other hand.... :

Anyone noticed more and more Jeep vehicles on the road( Compass, wranglers, cherokee) etc etc. Interesting change up....007 your views?

[agent007]

The Sales Manager for Jeep at LSM is a car enthusiast. He is known in the motorsports community and He knows his vehicles. The team that sells Jeeps locally imo seem to be better than average when it comes to sales and product knowledge competency.

Jeep Caribbean is also committed to RHD markets such as ours. We will get a wide range of models and we will get the supply. LSM is also imo better than average (compared to my relationships with TTTL, Massy, ANSA and SS) so in terms of after sale support, I'm sure some customers will echo the same sentiments.

Lastly, let's be real here. We can thank TTTL for giving Jeep a chance. Look at pg 1 and see the prices of a Fortuner and Prado respectively. Also, in keeping with the body-on-frame argument, where is the Nissan Patrol and Mitsubishi Pajero? Simply not offered here anymore! The Chevrolet Trailblazer and Ford Everest doesn't even sell well either but they exist locally.

So what alternatives do customers really have if they want better than average offroading capability? The answer is Jeep and they fit snug and nice in our market. I don't care about Toyota's value proposition, I cannot justify a Prado at $1.1M when for half that price I can get a Jeep 4x4 and now that HSM importing them new then even better!

Cant say much for the Jeep Compass though. That's just another CUV but in this case, a fwd 1.4t vehicle. Not in my radar at all.

The LEGENDARY local folklore of Toyota resale value is why TTTL gets away with that crap.

Agent
What are your views on the Mazda CX-5 vs the Kinetic XC 40 Volvo. I know the Mazda is a 2 l engine vs the 1.5 T in the Volvo. Which would you recommend?

The Mazda is 350 k vs 410 k for the Volvo

[agent007]

You make it simple there Randolph!

It's a $54k difference between the 2. The 5 imo is more spacious inside and has a bigger trunk. I rather have a 2.0 4 vs a 1.5 3 even though the latter has a turbo. To me 3 cylinders are pathetic regardless of the power it makes.

Whatelse, that entry 40 when last I checked lacked the Harman Kardon premium audio system but you get BOSE in the 5.

Lastly in terms of resale value and reliability, the 5 would be much better than the 40.

Volvo's tank in value quite quickly and their reliability reputation not all that. So I would say Mazda all the way and it just looks better lol.

Let's be real here, in these tough times, $54k thereabouts is a lot of coin and thus the overal value proposition swings in Mazda's favor.

Agree. After driving Volvo’s a lot for the past couple years I’d be concerned about long term ownership. Also to Agent’s point you’d get more premium options on the CX (in general stay away from base cars).

[triniboi49]

Are any of the Japanese or Korean cars coming with fully adaptive cruise control? From what I can tell the Subaru has it in their EyeSight system. It’s certainly a feature I’m interested in.

[feeldavibe]

Anyone know when we will be getting the new 2021 Mazda BT50? It looks sweet.

[aaron17]

Anyone knows when the toyota harrier is coming?

[Ted_v2]

Whats the latest price on a honda city cng?

[nick639v2]

Not for a very long time. Manufacturing for markets haven't even started.

The dmax it's based not not even forecasted to be sold for 2021 here.

Same for the new Triton, that's 'hopefully expected' to come here late 2021

[quattro]

Any insight on that new 2021 Kia Sorento with the 1.6T hybrid? Should be tax exempt?

[agent007]

Triniboy, I think Lexus vehicles like the RX will have that feature.

Feeldavibe, the 2021 BT-50 is expected here in Q1 or Q2 2021. When the D-Max touches down then its only a matter of time till Mazda sends their version.

Ted, I see the City prices range from 165 to 170k. It hovers around that area plus or minus a few thousand depending on the package deal offering. If you're interested in one, always make sure to negotiate.

Nick, I saw the 2020 Sportero/Triton commercial grade version already. Is it possible that DM already has inventory?

Quattro, you're assuming we may be getting that trim of the Sorento. Despite possibly qualifying for tax exemptions the category the vehicle falls under will see increased profits for SS as they will not pass that savings to the customer. Look at the Santa Fe 2.4 for $569k. SS could price the new Sorento hybrid for $520k when they could easily sell it for $395k and still make a descent profit. So what I am saying is, even if the Sorento hybrid arrives, dont expect to see the price in the $300k to $400k range due to tax savings.

[drchaos]

Devaluation .... Prices gonna jump 30 - 40%

Get ready yall.

[nick639v2]

I saw them too and called Ansa to confirm, but they said no stock and can't give any eta. So it seems all came from grey market? I saw someone in south even brought 4 single cab newest spec hilux.

Nick, I saw the 2020 Sportero/Triton commercial grade version already. Is it possible that DM already has inventory?

Btw anyone looking at the np300

There is a couple that arrived in March. LE spec at Morvant.. Don't take any chain up, ask for it, say u know they have it! (I believe there's about 6-7 more) Sales is allowed to give you up to 20k discount on this lot that came in pre covid.
So I had my little Indian expo style beat down and gt. They're pushing the XGear hard, how the salesperson spoke, it looks like the scheme is to go from XE to XGEAR, no more LE.

I looked at everyone's offerings, and tbh that hilux srv trim level not worth the price tag, Ansa ford still pushing the 2.2l with it's problem prone transmission and Old L200. New Dmax coming from grey markets soon so save yourself southern sales headache. (Dmax haven't even launched in like the Aussie markets so who knows when it'll reach here, new bt50 only has pre production models out, manufacturing haven't started) and the Colorado is dead, they announced closure of the segment, but have assured parts will still be readily available, so keep that in mind although I saw a new fleet of them on the port yesterday

[agent007]

Drchaos, I’m so not looking forward to that.

Nick, so you saying someone can get an XGear for $329k? But isn’t the orange part of the seats in fabric and the rest in leather? Also, isn’t it not a manual seat as opposed to powered? What about front heated seats? Lastly, is the touch screen head unit OEM supplied or Kazim’s guys at the back are retrofitting an Android unit?

In Australia and several other markets, the NP300 is available with a sunroof, slide-able rear back glass, 6 airbags, rear disc brakes, crash mitigation and front pop up head lamp washers. I wish Massy imported that true top-spec unit.

Concerning Chevrolet, a rep told me they getting supply from Mexico and Argentina as opposed to Thailand and South Korea but trusting a sales rep to give you accurate info is like taking your councilor’s word that they gonna fix roads and clear drains.

[nick639v2]

Just the LE versions on the lot had the special running. Regular price of 320, down to 300. The XGear variant price remains..

The highest end variant in the Aussie market coming twin turbo as well with the features you listed ent?

Differences between the LE and XGear are these.

The LE is coming with some sort of touchscreen system, I'm not sure yet if it's Nissan's or the Android one


Btw y'all ever see the Kia Telluride?? Launched in the US market, wonder if any of that will trickle down here

[shake d livin wake d dead]

Stealership price....is best I buy ah tiida ent Fyi a good lift is about 6ktt shipping and handling

[agent007]

Nick, that xgear not cutting it for me nah. I’ll stick to the LE leather version.

Shakes, look the pics here: So $650k + $70k = $720k for a 2020 Jeep Wrangler 5D 4WD 2.0T on a lift kit like this one below? And it still cheaper than a Prado by $350k?

No wonder I’m seeing more Wranglers lately!
