Any Singapore Ferrari owners?

For me I like the way it feels as its a Porsche not a Ferrari or Lambo and Porsche are generally more of a comfortable and usable sports car which goes well with that gearbox.

Similar concept to the GTR and I enjoy using the car daily! Fast, comfortable, can go everywhere!

 

Forward planning! Hahaa!

 

Which defeats the purpose of having warranty!

 

Ken, we need more details. Cruising or sporty, local or import? & of course how much

For import & cruising. I would get a classic Mercedes. D type, 280SE convertible etc. 2 doors Bentleys that were coach built are quite sexy too.

Sporty? Yes, any classic pre-70s Ferraris, Bizzarrini or even Maserati like Gibli etc would be contender. Or even BMW3.0 CSL. Heck, it can even be a nice Lamborghini

Local cars that are 'cheap' fun would be Alfa spiders etc & 911s for less than S$200K

 

How $?

Also depends when your new car will arrive.

 

Jon, what wud u have to pay to bring in a pre 70's Ferrai .. & do u have to register it with a classic car plate?

 

I decided that Im not going coupe .. so it will be a while

costs like 6-7k .. but given my warranty claims the last 6 mths .. prob worth it

 

Well. They did it. I read somewhere that Porsche announced that it will be a one model only, meaning no future updates. It could be rumour & there is already concept drawings using it's platform for the new "928" supercar. A front engine V8.

Screw the warranty! What's the point of it when u're going to wait & wait but I guess the problem he has are minor fixes.

Sell it.

Leang, there's a little function on the far-right for multi-quotes

 

General rule of thumb for newer cars is x 2.27.

I'm not too familiar & there's a few guys who have done it. Classics must be above 30yrs old. The road tax will be reduced. 28days usage which is probably OK since you have a few cars.

Import tax is 130%+GST+COE. GST is a must based on your invoice. I think there's reduction on duty & COE.

For what I want, I will shop for a sub-S$100K car then bring it in. Will be well under S$300K all in & cash paid since nobody will finance it. I will only shop for mint examples or rebuilt ones. Not project cars, as they are always money pit & local workshops aren't too reliable anyway.

I think you have more choices and far cheaper to have them in Australia, isn't it?

 

definately a classic Porsche!

 

since you use ur car for daily..i think extending the warranty is a better idea.

and of couse..theres this idea too..lol if its giving you too much problems.

 

i hope it has a nice ass

as long as they're small I dont mind

& get what?

I've given up trying to educate anyone

 

under classic car scheme must b over 35 yrs old from date of orig.regn. i think customs duty is 20% of omv+ 5% gst. shld b right hand drive, pristine n orig ,according to lta. u pay 10% of pqp ie. coe. road tax is 280 per annum flat (so buy big cc car more worth it- 512bb ,daytona). max useage 28 days per yr.on regn i think u pay 100% omv as ARF.

 

yes agree with you

 

Have a look @ this. They say it's a 2012 "928"

leang doe yr cousin bring in capristo. considering their 360 sport cats

 

A used 560 spyder will be nice for short term use (interim) for 458 or if u move out. Reliable engine/trans, good cabin, fast & wow factor if u call it.

Otherwise, facelift your 430 & go for the warranty update. Very useful when u do track it.

 

Careful boys...I am seeing a dangerous trend here, deja vu when everyone was goading people to jump buy fu%k...last time it happened lots of money was lost, some when kaput, some insane, some fishermen so do be careful yeah...

 

that actually isn't too bad

 

My impression of Mrs K is she is one tough chick, those muay thai type and she uses you as a training bag

Who wants to watch a match between Mrs K and Mrs Tiong? I will fly back!

 

fact is tho .. for watever reason I can never see myself owning a G

 

NA cars dont benefit so highly from ECU Remaps bro... dont feel the need to do it. Better for me to learn to drive the damn thing faster. Also putting the exhaust back to stock... hahaa

 

Wow this car actually looks pretty good from all angles except the front! That's quite a big step up from the Panamera.

 

funny... i have the exact same thoughts... the TT will absolutely obliterate a lot of things out there on 4 wheels with some additional money.... and will do so reliably...

just for the record MP and I "dated" the same dame some years back....

 

Really wish I could have been there to help out mate but will be out of town. Thanks for organising...
