Pocy Hypersonic September 19, 2017 Share September 19, 2017 The leading AD with more monthly sales will average down the contribution from each sales towards the operation cost. It does not matter to the buyer actually. What I want is a car that I paid for goes more towards the gov tax, instead of towards the AD margins. Odd ....... pay more tax but not to AD who runs a business to bring in car and service the customers. ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mkl22 Twincharged September 19, 2017 Share September 19, 2017 Odd ....... pay more tax but not to AD who runs a business to bring in car and service the customers. ðCause paying tax is a given. Regardless of self import or via AD. Everyone pays the tax if they want to drive here. And since taxes are immovable. It's down to the profits of the AD. It's the same with petrol tax. Want to drive must pay! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If want to buy CRV .... only BM. Cos of low AD profit .... buy a KIA? Our roads will be all KIA. Similar to tax, no much choice if want certain brand/model 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MsDreamy 1st Gear September 19, 2017 Share September 19, 2017 I think the COE prices are monopolize by the big players (ADs) and tomorrow COE will increase by a few thousands so as to create more sale from 21st till the first COE in Oct. Now COE dropped quite drastically -7k, some people who are interested to buy or change car are still thinking if COE will drop further, are waiting for further drop before taking action. If this group of people see an increase of price in tomorrow closing bid, then they will start panick if the COE in Oct will even be higher.. Then they will go n place deposit before Oct COE start.. But hor, the ADs' strategy also can choose to make tomorrow COE's price drop below $36k if there are less than 1500 orders in whole Singapore buying their cars at Guaranteed COEs. I think the big players' key personnels may hold bi weekly meeting to discuss how they want the COE results to be. 300+ other may bid via other parties like PIs. C&C giving COE rebate at $32k, so I doubt COE will drop below $32k tomorrow. But those who paid for Guaranteed COEs will hope that next few rounds COEs go as high as possible. If not urgent, think get Non Guaranteed package seem better. The SE told me that 75% of his customers opt for Guaranteed COE. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
yayaguy Clutched September 19, 2017 Share September 19, 2017 (edited) Book a Honda City from KM, SE asked me yesterday if I want to change from 6 bids non-guaranteed COE to 6 bids guaranteed COE with topup of $1000. Asked what's the different, guaranteed COE is 100% & non-guaranteed COE is 50%/50%. Hm.... necessary to addon the topup for guaranteed COE, as SE mention before, KM had never fail to delivered car once order go to them. Why the needs to topup for guaranteed COE if KM can successfully bid the COE? Miss this info out. Book in Sept 2017, collection of car in Jan 2018.

Kia7200 5th Gear September 19, 2017 Share September 19, 2017 I think most ppl don't buy their cars based on low AD profit. You like the car and only one AD for that. Otherwise paying $80K, $100K or &120K you don't get to enjoy your 1st choice car ....... don't live to regret. ðSome ppl buy car because they believe this model is more reliable, they willing to pay more n get lesser than market standard, even though the interior looks like crap Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanhangkiang 3rd Gear September 19, 2017 Share September 19, 2017 Last 6,000 pieces of cheap Cat A Coe from now till end of the year. Or 1,000 more new cars per 1 Million of populations, roughly 0.1% allocation. Two scenario, A. Grab before it is gone, Cat A shoots up. B. COE Cat A drops further irregardless. (Seriously no demand) This is really a test of the Singapore economic strength and future outlook for car loan market. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MilleniaXX 1st Gear September 19, 2017 Share September 19, 2017 The SE serving me mentioned that KM do not speculate COEs unlike other ADs. Some ADs also will psycho customers to top up 2 to 3k for G-COE. In his ten yrs plus there he seldom see KM not getting COEs for non-G COE. I hope it is really the case. If COE drop the, I will be happy too as rebate is 37k. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
