Re: PI BMW 335 order book opens
Just out of curiosity, i went with my friend to both VinCar and PML to ask about the 335iA Coupe over the weekend, basically the difference between VinCar's version and PML's version is that the ones from PML come with i-Drive with Navigation and Keyless Comfort Access (Non't need to take your key out of your pocket to open or start the car), the ones from VinCar don't have those 2 main items.
Checked the cost of those 2 items and it comes up to around $15k+... so with VinCar selling their version without those 2 items at $210k, versus PML's with the 2 items at $238k, the savings are actually not as much as previously expected, but its some savings on VinCars version.
VinCar is still make a nice profit for a PI though...
I guess if you don't need the i-Drive with Navigation and Keyless Comfort Access, and are okay with shorter warranty term, then VinCar's version is an okay deal.

Actually, i'm looking at PML's latest december price list, the BMW 335iA Coupe's list price is set at $238,800. So can work out the numbers from there.
Yes, the cash rebates from the banks are not without conditions, for example, banks are now offering 5.25% cash rebate on the loan amount, but the interest rate is 3.5% and you have to pay back the cash rebate when you full settle on a pro-rata basis. Its abit like taking another overdraft loan.
There is even the GE Money package which rebates 30% of the total interest, the cash rebate comes up to double that of the other rebate packages, but that interest rate is 4.5%!
Either way, unless you need the cash rebate to help your full settlement for your current car (basically its rolling the loss from one car into higher loan and rates to another, thereby digging a deeper debt hole), imho its better to take a loan without cash rebates and enjoy lower interest rates. The same banks also offer plain-vanilla auto loans without cash rebates at 2.85% interest rate too.
