you sure you wish to get 17'rims? i think its too big for the car....its only my own opinion..think 16' is good enough.. Smile

toyota_lover SG

Eh...bro, 16" still too big for SG usage la. Unless u got extra $$ to rub into the tarmac. 15" with good tyre should give u the grip on an altis. Remember its altis not altezza. Wink

I booked an altis on 7/8. The coe results are out yesterday Did anyone get any message from BM?

Thanks!

El Nino SG

I got an sms from my SE informing me I secured my COE liao. Now is waiting time....

SHOTTY SG

My SE did not call me. I have to check out from the Internet my self. Go to OneMotoring.com or LTA. Key in your IC with an S to verify COE result. Good Luck.

Hi All,

I am new here and I am looking on 1.6 Altis.

Can anyone tell me what is the fuel consumption on this model ?

Thank you.

altis183 SG

about 12 lbut heard it gets better after run in.can reach about 14

altis183 SG

ya i know. but it looks better with 16' rims than 15.its rather a big car so i think its ok to have a bigger rims..my opinion,no hard feelings..maybe i might be wrong lor..

altis183 SG

can anyone advice where can i get side skirts? didnt get from BM...any ideas on where and how much can i get it? Very Happy

toyota_lover SG

No problem bro... Smile
I would also prefer 16" but tyres are too expensive for high mileage ppl.
40-45k km per year. Mr. Green My tyre usually wear out within 9 mth.

Btw, if you are looking for better rims can try OZ or Enkei, should cost ard $300 per rim w/o tyre for 16". Unless you are crazy/ rich enough to go for forge rim. Cool

As for side skirt, try to get plastic one rather than those fibre made. Coz the fibre one can crack if u kick hard enough accidentally when boarding. Shocked
But sorry i got no lobang for tat. Embarassed

Nope! I didn't get any news from them. I booked on 8/8 and found that mine is "Out-Bid" from the website. Well just have to wait for the next round in 2 Sep. and hopefully I get this time round as I need the car urgently for family use.

the Bear SG

dad has one...

one of the main grouses is the beeping that starts when you put the damned thing into reverse...

looking for a way to turn the damned beeping off Laughing

silveraltis SG

Where exactly did you check? I looked around on both LTA and OneMotoring Site but can't find the url to find out the status. Can you provide me the URL?

Thanks!

silveraltis SG

BTW, regarding COE's by BM, do you guys choose Gold scheme (guaranteed COE) but @ +1K or the non-guaranteed coe, I chose non-guaranteed as per advice by SE that usually everyone on that scheme gets coes....

Being a foreigner I find the entire car purchase here very confusing. In my country I can just put down some cash for the hardware and buy one. No coe/arf rebates PQP and such funny problems,....

Thanks

toyota_lover SG

Ermm...its singapore isnt it?? Embarassed

This is a land where extra rules n regulations (R&R) come into place. Coz we tend to try the system quite often Mr. Green . These
R&R are here to control us .

Usually a non guaranteed scheme should do the job. Unless sudden rise in COE. For altis it'll take abt 1-1.5mth to get your car. For vios its worse close to 2mth. Wat to do? It's the currently best seller. Rolling Eyes

altis183 SG

Is ok not to get the gold scheme.should not be a problem to get the COE.They have to get COE to get the top sales which they are currently the top. Very Happy

siix SG

Try this link http://ocoe.lta.gov.sg/ and then enter your IC No. Its best to check it at 3pm after bidding are closed.

silveraltis SG
