Most looking at dealer prices... Can always check with dealers how much they take in your car.
Dealer take in price vs dealer price is alot difference.
Recently, managed to help a friend sell off better than what dealer offered to him.
Car dealer take in his ride at 35k.
Help him sell thru car quotes. at 51.4k
Then the car was listed at 60k selling price in sg car mart.

the margins are still huge for dealers selling 2nd hand cars.

Been driving a new jazz hybrid for close to a year and notice my fuel efficiency is <21km per lt, seems lower than advertised which should be around 26. I asked the honda service techs and they say they encountered even lower at around 17+. Any jazz hybrid owners here care to share for yours?

Published figures are usually a very rough estimates. I do own a hybrid mode (Not Honda) before and yes the FC do dropped vs stated figures as time goes by.
AD cannot do anything about it, what the SE told you is to make you feel better. (Their generic answers)

Hi all, my current hybrid car COE is expiring in Aug this year and am considering getting a Jazz hybrid 2nd hand car to replace it. Would like to hear your view on it, as I’m kinda worried about the hybrid battery given that Kah Motors only give 5 year warranty as compared to Borneo Motors 10 year warranty. Any current Jazz/Fit hybrid owners have any issues so far? And if anyone is thinking of selling it, feel free to ping me separately to cut out the middlemen dealer. Thanks in advance!

View on what? That it's a good idea to do what you described? Or view on the Jazz hybrid? Or view that you should not buy a 2nd hand car?

Sorry if I wasn’t clear, but that view on the car, in terms of any issues that anyone is facing or any known problems of the car. Thanks in advance!

Hybrid batteries to my best of knowledge is about 7 years before they start to fail. Given that nowadays a lot of workshops know how to reconditiion the battery and replace it, nothing really much to worry about except cost? The last time I heard it costs like $10,000? Now should be in the range of $3,000 or so? Might need to check on this. I've no experience dealing with hybrids.

e:HEV is too new of a technology to comment if the battery requires servicing/replacement beyond the provided warranty period. My in-laws drive one and they have yet to encounter any mechanical issues.

Because it's more sensible to get the hybrid version when the price difference is at most 5k (for brand new), The hybrid drives quieter, has better fuel consumption which will eventually make up the price difference, and even accelerates faster than the non-hybrid variant.
