To make it simple for you.
If you can afford to fork out roughly about rm15k per year for maintenance; you are eligible to own second hand premium cars such as volvo, bmw, mercedes & audi |

QUOTE(MeToo @ Oct 13 2017, 05:12 PM) Droped by their showroom to check. Which model? They offered me 20% discount for the v40 t5 drive-e before, probably to get rid of it before the facelift arrived.Pre-reg. Demo car. Discount only a measly 10%. Even merc/BMW gives way more discount. Volvo pre-reg is a bad deal. I agree though, BMW much better deals if you ask me. No experience in buying pre-reg Merc. This post has been edited by ascension: Oct 13 2017, 05:20 PM |

QUOTE(lockheed90 @ Oct 17 2017, 08:20 AM) I see. Of course Volvo is cheaper in used market. But then again. You have to understand Volvo has less 3 rd party parts. Mercand BMW you can still get potong But if you can pay like 4k for a service the its fine. Or 1.2k for a lube change. 2.4k for lube and gear change. But if you compare. It's stil, cheaper the merc service outlets. Wellmy s40 visits the glenmRie. So far so good. barca96 liked this post

Mercand BMW you can still get potong I guess you're right, parts must be difficult to find since not many cars on the road. Makes me rethink my decision But if you can pay like 4k for a service the its fine. Or 1.2k for a lube change. 2.4k for lube and gear change. But if you compare.

QUOTE(MeToo @ Oct 17 2017, 10:41 AM) Alredy did. The pre-reg/demo car S60 discount $30k..... New c class is nice. Also the new e class is superb.Definitely NOT a good deal. Considering how crap the 2nd hand value is for Volvo.... even Pre-Reg/Demo merc gives a much better deal. Otherwise the total package BMW is better for best buy. |
