I went to Mercedes Benz, KIA and Mitsubishi.

Quite crowded leh. 

[Kenomi]

Alot change is due to their high coe. Also eventually is all priced down to selling price. Coe dropped 10k might not be reflected at selling car price.

[Kia7200]

I guess the orders they got during the 25k coe, plus the orders they received weekly, should be enough for the next few bidding.

 

Only left few months to 2019, the coe quota will start to reduce. So I predict $25k might be the lowest coe premium

The Boom bust COE cycle is really abject policy failure. Seems like it will continue to be the case.

[RogerNg_185295]

Those who have bought will already bought it when COE was 25k. Nowadays the crowds are mostly look look see see type.

It was supposed to be the case, but, it was interrupted by COE squeeze, VES and PHV.

Many buyers are waiting for a $25k Cat A COE again before visiting the showroom and signing the cheque.

good luck in waiting because that time is due to computer glitch? Anyway I straight away buy when coe 25k in July. The following bid coe price increase and so did the car price. Managed to save a few thousand dollars.

If the US-China trade war worsens, there is a possibility that this could be repeated or go even lower in 2019.  Our GDP is already slowing down.

in 2008 coe plunged to less than 20k due to economic crisis. US sub prime and lehmann brothers and affected the whole world. 

Current trade wars will not have that kind of magnitude unless it got out of hand which I think is not possible. It is just a mean of negotiation by Trump. COE may fall slightly but not be much and considering that in 2020 the number of COE will be halved due to 2010 policy. The chance of coe price rising is higher in 2019.
