Convert to red plate weekend car

[Elixir]

Dear all,

 

its been a while since I last posted a thread. I have a query here, if i want to convert my car (a Getz bought in May 2003) into a red plate weekend car, what do I have to do? what are the steps?

 

I understand that, if I'm correct, on sat, a weekend car can only be driven after 3pm. What do one has to do if says he wants to drive freely on sat?

 

Thanks for your prompt feedback, as usual.

 

rgds.

can u do that? convert from norm COE to red plate? for your last question, i think there is this coupon u can buy and paste on your red-plated car if u wan to drive 'outside' the allowed time

[Kanchelsk]

u can buy the $20 coupons/per use... if u wan drive outside the restricted hours..

I'm not entirely sure whether its been allowed but my friend has started the process of converting his tuscani to weekend plate since he's going to enter NS in 2 months time. Not sure if they will rebate the 17K.

I think so, I'm not really sure, I believe can find out by calling or suring onemotoring but somehow, experts here might provide an answer faster. Thanks in advance.

I'm sure you can convert from normal plate to red plate. One of my ex-neighbour did that to his 2nd car.

Thanks. Where can we get this $20 per use coupons??

You are allowed to convert to an off peak car.

And yes, you can purchase a $20 coupon for driving an OPC outside of the restricted hours.

 

For more details, you can refer to this website:

You can get the coupon from any Post Office.

wow convert liao onli save on road tax and insurance ah

[Elixir]

yah, after considering, not really worth it right???

[Kanchelsk]

Definitely not worth convertin now.. u dun get the $17k COE rebate of new car...

 

bo hua...

[Burgerdog]

ya lor...

no point in converting really.

maybe from OPC to normal car is more rational

[Looneytune]

after conversion, the parf of the car will go up. there's a formula avail in one-motoring to show u know they calculate.

 

of cos its not as good as getting upfront 17k rebate. i think the formula kinda balance up so that ur paper value is correspondingly higher, up to max of 17k.
