Throttle2 Supersonic January 21, 2017 Share January 21, 2017 There are too many cars today, hopefully they cut COEs by half and impose full cash payment for COEs. Loan only for the machine cost. ↡ Advertisement 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matrix0405 5th Gear January 22, 2017 Share January 22, 2017 2017, we are going to challenge the previous low $38K Cat A set in 2016. When Altis sells for below $90K, all those with $90K COE will be scraping their 5yo cars, adding to the tsunami. This new wave was averted when LTA allowed higher loans for a longer period.

Evillusion Supersonic January 22, 2017 Share January 22, 2017 (edited) Can you recall some of the reasons that made COE go low? Raymond was one, what were the others at that time?economic slowdown that hit in 97.....then the sars outbreak and the other economic slowdown in 07/08. The 97 onw was the worst as coe was very high....near or at 100k and it suddenly burst to (if not wrong $2) for big cars.Info is this site....i got wrong values as i was using my memory. http://tralvex.com/pub/cars/coe.htm Edited January 22, 2017 by Eviilusion Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axela72 5th Gear January 22, 2017 Share January 22, 2017 (edited) regardless, if car is not free, there bound to be someone that say it is not cheap For those who are waiting at the sidelines for COE prices to drop further, console yourselves that car prices are cheaper now than before. Back in 1997, the G8 Toyota Corolla cost $125K. The G9 Corolla dropped to $100K in 2000. Today, the Corolla Altis costs $100K with 5 years warranty and servicing thrown in. If you take inflation into consideration, the brand new Corolla today is CHEAPER than 20 years ago. With Uber and Grab in the picture fighting for a piece of the small Cat A pie, COE prices are unlikely to drop to $40K levels. If you really need a car, just go for it now, before more Car Llite policies come into place and COE quote gets cut, then we will be back to $80+K COE seen just very recently 2 years ago.

Auron 2nd Gear January 22, 2017 Share January 22, 2017 this year COE will be trending low... and my $$$ is it will break 40k... 3 main reasons... 1. more COE will be released as more car got scrapped... LTA just announced in next quarter more COE available... 2. the worsen economy is making people hold back big ticket purchase... many ppl are forgoing car ownership after their cars reach 10 years... 3. n the most important of all, rental companies (usual uber+grab+others) are bidding lesser or stop bidding COE altogether... as the economy become worst... they cannot even find ppl to rent their cars and they already have a backlog of cars waiting to be rented... it has reached saturation point... the only thing that will cock up my prediction is the p8p gahmen will allow people to loan even more $$$.... they may be desperate even to go back to $0 drive away, 100% loan, 10 years... they will achieve 2 effects that our gahmen want... keep the COE high so more money goes into their pocket and the most important of all, plow more $$$ back into the economy... remember, u read it here first. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vratenza Supersonic January 22, 2017 Share January 22, 2017 All the points you mentioned are simply tools that can be easily manipulated by the garment to achieve the end point: COE premium level income that do not shock their budget forecast for the rest of the fiscal year. So far it seem to me that 50k is the support level that do not trigger any further actions from the garment to prop it up....

inlinesix Supersonic January 22, 2017 Share January 22, 2017 But COE still increases by dunno 9 or 11% for this year first quarter. COE increases or decreases is not we say but Govt say. Nobody knows.That's because vehicle population had dropped. That was a cut in 2016 when car population was going up 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
