ShadowNos,

If you didn't like the price then, you surely won't like it now.


agent007,

I spoke to my buddy (sales rep) at SS yesterday, the price on the Koup has raised as they are now bringing in the 2011 model.

Price now stands at $190,000 for the 1.6L

Additions:

1) Paddle shifters with a 6-speed auto transmission
2) LED Side Indicators (On the Mirror)
3) Sunroof

Thats about it really.

2.0L starts at $220,000 with same features.

Got my Koup a couple weeks ago - love it, love it love it! A bit less than the price quoted above... Everything else WAY too expensive IMHO - 1.5 Corolla for $190K anyone?

Plenty hard work for the next few years to afford it though....

[cinco]

hard part is this car lives down the street from me it really too hideous for me to even notice it

1.6 - Black on black....

Just spoke to a Ford sales Rep, the Ranger in stock is $225k 4x4 auto, From April 1st, it will be 250K for the same unit, because they are recieving a price increase. Also the NEW RANGER will be arriving late November early December, an because its a bigger model, it will be in the 260k range. WOW

[Chimera]

I've always liked the ford rangers, someone offer me a used TCM 4x4 automatic one for $120,000, but the seller have a reputation for cutting and welding crashed vehicles so I decline

[noshownogo]

"they are recieving a price increase", wonder who they receiving this price increase from?

That's 4kUSD or almost 2500 pounds, where in the world that Ford Ranger increase by that much?

[Chemical]

^^U see interest rates are the lowest in the history of Trinidad & the dealerships know that. There is surplus liquidity with banks, so they are literally begging customers to borrow.

One can now finance new vehicles with 10% down over 60 & 72 mths plus the option to refinance again!!! resulting in lower inst. figures.Christ, sometime one ends up paying up to 60k in interest over the life of the inst.

A few yrs ago 4 yrs was max u could have financed over.

Why can't consumer affairs get involved in the service fiasco ?

Imagine the sales rep @ N&M told me you are ONLY looking @ approx $9000 / yr to service a Narava ..i.e 9000/12=$750/mth

He feel I aint went to school & also take meh tertiary education all the way to MSc.


WTF !! My car I maintain myself takes less than $700/yr (15K km max/yr I do).
And I do oil / filter etc. probably more If I have to change pads, normal wear & tear etc.

The other car which I use more (on weekends) may cost just above $1000.00

IMO I think Kia & Hyundai are taking over the new car market in TNT. Its important to note that where the Yen has increased , the Korean has declined by almost the same %

Have you ever read the trucks forum on TT. I wonder if the owners save any money after maintenance, insurance, tires , K&N filter, aftermarket gadgets etc

[Stephon.]

Once the Grand Vitara stays in the price range it is at for the next 2 months I happy, I not spending 200k for a car. Lucky my parents agreed if I buy it myself they would pay the insurance for me and insurance already going to kill my parents because I am under 21.

[jhonnieblue]

hmmm new vehicles get killed with maintainance from firm
have my appointment fri
bracing for it

[ek4ever]

Given the reliability of cars these days...if I were to purchase a new vehicle I would do only the first service at the dealer then let them fcuk off. My current vehicle is 12 years old.....I've been the owner of it for 8 years and in that time it's never had to go to the dealer. From when the model was first built that represents some 15 yrs of advancement in automotive manufacturing.

In the first 3 years you should only need to do maintenance for fluids, filters, drive belts and brake pads.

[tiger balm]

I see Ansa is bringing down the Mini Countryman, wonder what's the price going to be. It's cute .
Also saw the new Volvo 60 being advertised. Ah if only I could afford these things. Tsk tsk.

[scotty_buttons]

U know how LONGG i was waiting for that s60 to reach sigh..
ended up getting the camry instead..anyone have any ideas about the pricing on the new s60?

Chevy Cruze
- 1.8L LS A/T - $187,750.00
- 1.8L LT A/T - $215,750.00

[christopherwilliams2]

pricing not tooo bad....more than an octavia...

[zando]

hmmm....the price ok...here is a review...

Score: 68 out of 100

Model Tested: 2011 1LT sedan, 1.4-liter Four turbo, 6-speed automatic
Major options: Cruise control, USB port, Bluetooth, power driver's seat, spare tire.

Highs: Quietness, agility, ride, solid feel.
Lows: So-so fuel economy, rear seat.

The Cruze is light years ahead of previous GM small cars, which were cheap and crude. Instead, the Cruze feels solid and substantial. Relative to other competitors, the Cruze is quiet and has a well-finished interior. Handling is nimble and the ride is firm yet supple and controlled. The front cabin is spacious but rear-seat room is tight. The LT's 1.4-liter, turbocharged, four-cylinder engine performs well, despite its small displacement, but the Cruze's heavy weight compromises fuel economy and performance. It gets 26 mpg overall. The base LS version uses a 1.8-liter engine, which tends to be a bit noisier but attains essentially the same fuel economy. However, the LS omits some essential features such as power mirrors.

according to CR's scoring system, the Cruze is still outranked by the following:

Honda Civic
2007-2010 Hyundai Elantra
Toyota Corolla
Mazda3
Kia Forte
Subaru Impreza..........

Both engines actually returned LOWER ratings than the 2007-2010 Elantra, Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla, and Nissan Sentra and actually tied with the Hyundai Sonata.

Demand > Supply.

[Stephon.]

If Trinidadians realize that vehicles DEPRECIATE in value then used cars won't be the prices they're at, I personally don't see myself getting anything used when it makes more sense to get it from the showroom considering the little difference in prices.
