blogentry-133713-0-49721100-1405506486_thumb.jpgWhile the monthly quota of COEs will be down by 242 to 3,777 for this quarter, the number of Certificate of Entitlement (COE) available for cars actually increased. This comes as a result of a drop in the monthly quota of COEs for motorcycle, commercial vehicles and the open category. The monthly Category E quota, which is mostly used for the larger cars, decreased from 586 to 478 for this quarter while Category A increased to 1,011 from 1,143 and Category B increased from 966 to 1,010.

 

So what does that mean for those shopping for cars now? Considering that Category E and Category B COEs are mainly used by big cars only, the actual change in the number of monthly quotas for these group of buyers is very minimal. Hence, we doubt there will be much of a change in the COE prices for bigger cars. However, those shopping for smaller cars (Category A) may see a little drop.

 

That said, with the hungry ghost period coming up, the demand for cars may be weak overall so for those that aren't superstitious, the time to buy your dream wheels is about ripe now!

I highly doubt that COE is gonna drop much.

According to above published in 2008, managers and professionals in mid thirties are getting $50K to $60K annual package.

MOM stats tells us that salary increases by at least 5% per year. So that same guy is earning $70K to $90K today.

 

High wages results in inflation. COE price how to drop?

I think the Hungry Ghost effect will be stronger to bring down the prices than a few meagre increase in COE.

Hungry ghost period has not been a damper for car sales for some time already.

 

Many simply request for a later delivery date. Distributor will still bid for COE in August, but register the car in Sept.

  • Tennis: Beautiful game that doesn't know how to count

    Wimbledon just concluded yesterday (congrats Sinner!), and it's a reminder of how much I enjoy tennis as a sport. I used to play it some (wasn't particularly good), and still tangentially follow it nowadays (the Roland Garros final this year between Alcaraz and Sinner is an all-time classic).  There's something intrinsically mesmerising about the sport, I think even for spectators who have never picked up a racquet. At first glance, it may seem like just two people (or four, but doubles is

    Ready? Steady? Slow!

    Have you ever watched on of those baby crawling races? They are hilarious. I watch a lot of NBA, and sometimes they have these races as a halftime entertainment. And its hilarious because unlike most athletic races, there's an inherent unpredictability and chaos to these things. They get distracted, they get bored, they get tired. Babies doing baby things, you know.  Well, England thinks it can one-up the absurdity of racing: Introducing to you, Snail Racing.  It seems almost

    Cordless vacuum cleaners: A young adult's best friend?

    Every young adult probably arrives at the same point when they’ve started working for a few years: Household chores start to become more enjoyable. Don’t get me wrong – they don’t have to be one’s favourite activity on earth. But chores start to make sense: An environment that’s put-together is always a welcome haven, whether it’s returning home after a long day out, or simply staying in over the weekend (or when you’re working from home.) As a young adult myself, I've come to appreciate an

    Are forums outdated? I try to find out by asking AI

    Is your boss asking you to explore and learn how to use AI to improve the quality and efficiency of your work? Yup, you aren't the only one in that boat.  Whilst exploring new AI tools, I figured: Why not use it to answer some burning questions that I have? This time, it was about whether forums are outdated. Yes, forums like this one that we are on. I remember how before social media became popular, and before apps like Carousell existed, forums were where I chatted with others t
