Civic6228 6th Gear December 8, 2017 Share December 8, 2017 absolutely right. the coe up/down are covered by buyers and any "extra" ... considered bonus + margin ... huat ah! margin is already confirmed whether coe is $10k or $100k COE is cost for the car .... how can the margin be the same when the prices of COE changes. What i am saying .... you win some/you lose some. If COE do fall ... it would be good for buyers as they could get some rebates based on the rebate level set by the ADs. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jwee85 5th Gear December 8, 2017 Share December 8, 2017 Sorry for misleading you with my simplified explanation. My bad. I am sure you gotten a good deal with the higher $4k value in COE, compared to the value on the week you booked the car. I am happy you & ur friends have gained and made the AD absorbed the extra increase $$ in COE cost. Huat Ah. Don't mislead people leh .... My friend boked his car during the Car Expo and COE was at 41k. He got his COE during the 2nd bid in November and COE was 46k. The car cost 5k more and he did not top up a single cent. When I booked my car, COE also went up by 4k, I also did not top up a single cent. Just wondering who bear the extra cost for the COE ? If you buy the big Gs, whatever the COE prices, if you booked you get your car .... they have fat margin to play with COE. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andyngps 5th Gear December 9, 2017 Share December 9, 2017 (edited) @alphaqman Used car depreciation is higher than new car, so it makes sense to purchase a new car and use for 10 years. 3 year old - dep $9500 a year http://www.sgcarmart.com/used_cars/info.php?ID=593881&DL=2428 Brand new - dep $8,600 a year with 5 years warranty http://www.sgcarmart.com/new_cars/newcars_overview.php?CarCode=11322 But truth is how many people can actually drive the same car for 10 yrs?? Many would change along the course. when coe fall below rebate level, the biggest winner is AD cos it has achieved max margin.You hit the nail, but the psychological hope for coe crash and rebate will always be there. Market is so so average at best, with quota reduction yet COE did not spike but dropped $4-5K two days back. Plus now is year end, AD all rushing to deliver cars, yet still can drop?? Plus, now December school holidays..all go vacation!! All this gives some gravity on indication!! Intention is to draw crowd and traffic, there would be terms and conditions definitely!! Prob they cleared their stocks during the last two bids already? Quite a few models I asked are out of stock and got to wait tilll next year. The drop on this I see is more of to draw crowds back and also to cushion the ves next year i feel. Edited December 9, 2017 by Andyngps 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renegade777 5th Gear December 9, 2017 Share December 9, 2017 I have a feeling...PI knows that the COE going south. Looking at todays bidding exercise...like no rush & power. Which means, they know something we do not know. Highly likely trade secret of dealers Likely, all dunno anything until the VES kicks in. Reality starts when the govt starts taxing. Also, there is zero car growth another unknown force. A owner who scrape his car after 10 years likely wants to get a COE for his new ride, Non- car owners would also come in to "fight" for this particular COE. So I think everybody also dunno what to expect so will stop rushing in. Likely, initial stage early next year car price may drop because everybody don't know what to expect. After awhile it may right back to the norm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
