Darryn Turbocharged July 12, 2012 Share July 12, 2012 Nowadays people dun even know how to push the car to the side when breakdown/stalled in the middle of the road. Push car might get dirty hands. Besides, no strength and I dunno how to free gear car. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antlau 1st Gear July 12, 2012 Share July 12, 2012 Is the ever increasing COE harming Singapore economy driving up the inflation?? People takes on more expensive car loan with higher debts, drying the excess liqudity, discouraging young people from saving....... I m worried for the future of this county!!!! the fundamental concern should be if cannot afford, then dont buy.. save up the money for rainy days instead... the roads here are really congested to the max, and there are really too many cars nowadays...

Agree. Just because some other places in this planet are worse off than us doesn't mean we should adopt or benchmark to their standard. If anything, we should be benchmarking to the best in the world. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same story as property price, becoming as unpredictable as the weather. Bear in mind owning a car definitely cost more than $800 a month especially at today's price.

Fastfive1 5th Gear July 12, 2012 Share July 12, 2012 The solution is simple. Force everyone not to take huge loans on cars. Minimum down-payment is 50% of the cars price. It'll bring down consumption which will lead to a fall in aggregate demand hence bring down inflation. It's pretty obvious that the reason for prices going up is due to demand pull inflation. No point whining about how the COE system is not effective or how the quota keeps getting reduced each month. At the same time, interest rates should be increased to discourage wannabe drivers from attempting to get a car when they can't afford it. Most of the time people who complain about COE prices are people who merely wanna have some attention. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trust me, just get the altis. At least he'll be in control of how fast he wants to go. Besides the altis is a pretty fuel economical car. it lacks the power i crave but hey i ain't getting one.
