Flexer Neutral Newbie October 31, 2008 Share October 31, 2008 I expect car prices to go up from now till end of dec. Reason being people getting bonuses so some will have desire to change or buy new cars Bonuses will not really be affected this year by the crisis as 1H'08 was still pretty ok for most companies Recession fears have not really sunk into Singaporeans yet so many people will still be in spending mode Drop in prices due to recent COE drop is enough to tempt some people to plunge in I expect prices to soften sometime after 2Q'09 next year when companies start to feel the impact of the crisis and slowdown which in turn will impact the masses in the form of pay cuts, bonuses suspension and in worse cases, retrenchments Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linusloh Clutched October 31, 2008 Share October 31, 2008 I agree bro. Just this Feb, a honda SE told me COE will only go up and stay up for the next 2 years! We all know what happened... Almost all will say, COE up regardless... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexer Neutral Newbie October 31, 2008 Share October 31, 2008 You are right. I have never met an SE who tells me to wait and see first. Every SE will always tell you that car price is going up, now is already the lowest, must grab the opportunity to buy etc. You can't blame them as their rice bowl depends on them making the sales and they will use every tactic to make the consumer panic, insecure and commit to the purchase. As consumers, we have to be discerning and commit when we feel the opportunity is right and we are comfortable with the purchase Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
