A-class 180, options?

[sagy021]

MGA180S, I installed the front and rear cam and it's a concealed installation, they didn't use the 12V adaptor, thus I am still able to use it for other purpose. They charged 700+ including GST, rather pay a premium to have less issues with warranty and wiring problems, but that's individual choice lah. Cheers.

Thanks Bro. Fully agreed on doing the installation in house to save on complications with the warranty in future.

Just curious. Think i read from some other forums that urban version might have waiting period of 3-6 months (not confirmed). In any case, don't think our local A180 approved specs comes with sunroof in Singapore, so will this undergo the clearance process from LTA (which will be another 2 mths after car arrival). So with the above potential conditions, will it turn out that the waiting period will be up to a max of 8 mths??? And by that time, the new face-lifted a-class might have already been out and in sales in Singapore.

good point ... if going for non-standard fittings, better get a firm delivery date from SE ... dont be like me

[heidtb]

Orient brown is the colour. Yours?

[AsteroidS]

[heidtb]

when is the new facelift?

No announcement yet but prob early next yr.

So with the VIN is it possible to check when your vehicle enters Singapore port?? From what I heard, as long as your vehicle is in SG port before July then it will still enjoy the old CEV rebate, even if u get the car in July.

Is there anywhere to check when our vehicle enter SG port?

[AsteroidS]

so

Everyone have their individual needs, requirements, desires, choices. New technologies, better models, facelifts are coming up constantly and in addition, in Singapore; the anticipation of the fluctuations in COE prices (Eg: prices today for style version might get you an urban in the next month but other factor s.a. waiting period is an uncertainty). There are too many variable factors. You should buy when you are ready and certain after doing your researches. And once committed, enjoy the wait and the vehicle when it arrive without regrets because at the point of commitment, you are basing your selection on your best knowledge at that point of time. Cheers.

Ya, next year prices might drop slightly due to the increase in COE quota.

People will usually say buy a COE car and use 1-2 years wait for prices to drop. But I chose to just get a new car! Lol

[AsteroidS]

Based on past cnc sales experience, they unlikely to entertain or they won't really know also. Only want to sell what they already indent or plan to indent.

But basically amg line probably set you back more than 10k above the style line.

[zigg]

I ordered in March, should be getting next mth.

For a180 style the instrumental display is black and white or color? I know urban is in color, not sure about style whether it has been updated too.

Can anyone confirm if there's a way to find out when the particular vehicle enters SG port?

Ya I tried asking my SE if I can choose the Bi xenon option for a180 style, she said cannot. Lol

[oceanicmanta]

If I recall correctly, there is an option to change the lights for the Style, it costs $3500 more to be done by factory

yea... there is an option. but not sure if they accept that?

 

[oceanicmanta]

Yes they do. When I was asking at time of booking, they said they would.

Again, any factory modifications do remember to ask about impact on delivery & also whether it affects OMV.

going for the a180 urban + amg line + sunroof + designo red seat belts

 

what u think?

[oceanicmanta]

haha ... wrong person to ask I guess.

 

I bought primarily for reliability. Besides, also have no budget for other bells, whistles & upgrades.

 

That said, whatever you are happy with I am sure will be good.

 

By the way, the advertised price of "from $136,888" for the A class in this week's ST seems like a good deal !
