Check with bros who got the coe today, did u guys book ur car ex-stock before TCM increase the price? I book mine ex-stock $47K and did not get the coe today.  My guessing is if u guys got ur coe today at the price same as mine, then my SE trying to earn more in my opinion. My bid was $3K+ same as the previous bid, no revised.

ur min coe bid that you signed in the contract is it 2k?

accordinging to hearsay....TCM split their bidding into different bands of min bid....2k, 2.5k, 3k, 3.5k and they have cleared 2.5k & above.  These bands are the real thing that differential who get their coe 1st. Of course there are those on 2k & 2.5k that top up 200-300 to get themselves in front of the Q.

Wanted to register the car in Jan 09 as well but was also given the same story about TC mandating that all cars that obtained COE in the 2nd bid has to be cleared before year end.  Now just waiting for the car to be delivered hopefully by this weekend.  Anyone else gotten a more firm date from your SE.

yen high but ours is ex-stock yea?

from my understanding our cars are from an inventory batch where the yen is not as high yet..otherwise TCM would not have been able to sell us at the price we were offered, and this is also why they jacked up prices for those stock which are not ex-stock, since the newer inventory coming in had higher costs due to higher yen..

that's is also my understanding...but when i asked my SE specifically abt the OMV for sport base, the SE jz said it is abv 15K and the car yet to be declared to custom and the SE said  expect higher OMV


well for the price we are getting.....i wouldn't wan to say more..  :smile:

not trying to doubt ur SE's words, but whatever he said defies convenotional logic since we bought ex-stock, so the vehicle should already cleared customs and in fact already in the warehouse awaiting purchase and registration.

there is also no point for TCM to declare higher OMV since it would mean they have to pay more taxes, while selling to us cheap. why would they want to do so and diminish their margin?

don't mind telling us what your OMV is when you collect your car? would be a good reference..

I received my Latio Sports Premium early this month. OMV was already a high S$19K+. :thumbsup:

But as the others related in earlier posts, we are still getting ex-stock discount for the strange logic that was described, that TCM only check the car out of container port for tax when we collect the car, so OMV will be based on prevailing strong Yen even though we paid a much lower price for the car.  :smile:

It is true that for our batch of 'ex-stock' FL Latios, TCM's profits are very much lower.

It's true, TCM's margin is low for these ex-stock FL Latios.

Yup my SE called me and tell me not successful and told me prolly next bid and try to comfort me by saying those who got their coe last round cos they brought after the price increase. And those who got it this time were kinda of pre selected. Told me he will take the car allocation and prep it 1st.  :out:

I simply told him, well TCM would prolly not bid for me cos too low a price booked at and that they are waiting for it to drop further before bidding for me. And I was quick to add that its ok will wait till Feb 09 after my 6 bids and take back deposit. Can sense he cannot tahan me liao.  :yehyeh: :yehyeh:

It is Tan Chong Management which makes such decision whether to bid for your COE, so you cannot blame your SE as it is beyond his/her control.
