Wt_know Supersonic April 8, 2013 Share April 8, 2013 (edited) buying now is like catching falling knife because 1. no one knows for sure what will be the coe level after 2 months especially the loophole for 100% loan is plugged 2. can you trust the used car dealer ? buy now, 2 months later close shop liao, then you need to buy with agent warranty which mean pretty new car ... high coe ... why buy? 3. cheap is cheap for a reason ... you must open your eyes and ears big big ... if the used car dealer give you a cheap ride ... firesale must be a reason ... don't be blinded ... sekali got a lemon or accident car why buy now as kancheong spider if you can wait ... why take the risk unless you cannot buy after the loopholes are plugged (that's a different story) Edited April 8, 2013 by Wt_know Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure most buyers have the patience for 2 months. I am waiting for how the next few rounds of COE results before deciding. If the depreciation for a new car vs a 2nd hand is quite close (perhaps 2-3k pa difference), its better off getting a new ride for the assurance. If prices remains the same, the budget is set aside for a 2nd hand ride. If you plan to get one within these 60 days, its safer to assume there will be no warranty for the car. Get a good mechanic to appraise the vehicle before making the purchase. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance for your advices. http://www.sgcarmart.com/used_cars/info.ph...536&DL=1054 See my calculation for current paper value PARF= 8430.75 (75% of ARF) Balance COE = around 23.54k current paper value = around 31.97k body value, if based on 10 years depreciate of it OMV of 11241 so currrent BV is around 8.2k so PV+BV = around $40k, so $40K vs $54k is over priced. yearly depreciate is 6.7k exl. interest to be incurred. please correct me if i'm wrong calculated.

Jordanplus 1st Gear April 8, 2013 Share April 8, 2013 you sound very confused. I am confused by you. if you based on your calculations you would not even buy a HDB flat car is depreciate item, HDB flat is appreciate. Both are totally diffrent things. paper value + body value = resale market price exl dealer profit margin. (body value might not calculate as what i assume, it depend on the dealer to offer you). Depreciation is purchase price minus PARF rebate at end of 10 years devided by remaining life spend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric4285 2nd Gear April 8, 2013 Share April 8, 2013 My 2 cents. If u got spare cash on hand say 25k as a benchmark and u dun need a car urgently or have a ride eg: 2014/2015. U will get fantastic deals after these 2months. It would be purely the Buyer's market. (New/Old) same. If u need a car & is limited on downpayment, then no time is better than now. Coz the pool of cars available for max 100% loan is shrinking by the day/hour. Dun believe? Go round do your homework. The market now is abit messy thou. Transacted price differs widely base on dealers' strategy and amount of cars they have on hand. If u see a car u like and u falls into the abv category, grab it before its sold. Happy Car Hunting!
