The mega-event featured over 300 cars on show at more than 100 booths. No fewer than 555 new and pre-owned cars were sold and $31.8 million worth of sales, including those of accessories, were chalked up by the end of the one-day event.

This was up from last year, when 500 cars were sold, bringing in close to $28 million.

To sweeten the deal, car buyers could enter a lucky draw to win petrol vouchers, car navigation systems and window film packages.

Another attraction was the Spare Tyre contest, where eight participants had to show off their 'spare tyres' or bellies in a belly dance learnt on the spot.

Ms Jasmine Lim, 41, emerged the winner, walking away with $600 cash, an $800 one-year gym membership and a $580 car reverse system.
