ok, just to share my experience.
i bought my 1st car at the end of June 2013 due to a change in job location. YES MY OWN CAR!!! HAHA!
it was a suzuki swift 1.5M and i feel it was a decent deal.
i bought it from MCT Trader LLP and was assisted by a dealer called Eric.
i'm not sure if it was a good experience as i've never ever bought another car but i would like to say i was satisfied.
i went down to check out the car on saturday, brought my dad on sunday, gave the deposit of 1k and wala! tuesday i was handed the car after paying the balance net of the loan approved.
the transfer of ownership was instant, we used cash, and i drove off like a happy 18 year old (i'm 29)
honestly, i don't know if this is considered good service, but it was fast and different from the horror stories i read about.
my car is fine now, no wierd stuff happening, with full agent servicing log card etc. i also went to champion motors to double confirm and yes the servicing was done there.
only issue was that it was posted to be owned by an expat but when i looked at the servicing receipts, it was a local chinese name haha.
overall satisfied and loving my car now.
