Renewed my car liao

Hope coe go up. Then can sleep at night.

 

Haha, I know the feeling! Booked my car in January after second bidding and hoped that the COE/car price would not crash after that as my old car COE still had over a year to go. If it does crash anytime from now till next year, I will still be knocking my head!!

Would love to change car this year seeing the COE being quite low (not lowest I know). But holding out as I am waiting for more new models to arrive. Would bang balls if COE goes up by next year.

 

Then again, if I buy now and the new models are better (in my view) and COE remains low, well also bang balls.

Despite lower COE price , but new car prices just down a little big .

I also observed similar trends. I think it is because since there are buyers at a certain price, then when would dealers drop price even if COE drops. So it is in my view that low COE price is more advantageous to dealers.

1) Uber merged with Grab. LCR offloading their cars liao.

2) Too many rental cars, so no rental companies will be buying new.

3) PI scam many buyers. More COE available.

south wards. hope it plunges to the lowest. huat ah to those bidding for it.

Agree COE to see lower this round.

There is not much buyers unless those extending their COEs.

CarExpo may not bring much knowing no new car models or lower prices...

Anyone knows it is still possible to register a Motorcycle using Cat.E COE?

If possible what is the cost? Full or partial?

 

This article from LTA says Cat.E cannot use for Motorcycle.

I must be overseas/Sleeping when this rule was changed.

Anyone can answer?

They will offset the difference to you if a Cat. E COE was being used to register a motor-cycle  [laugh]

 

Joke aside, why would you want to do that?

No, you cannot use CAT E to register a motorcycle.

The coming Car Expo may generate interest to more new buyers if the deals are good and not necessarily with new models.

How many cars is LCR selling now?

Which coming models are worth looking at?
