Solar Turbocharged May 3, 2012 Share May 3, 2012 Hi folks, what's the update from today's context? On average, if spending on car remains to be $15k per year, it is a "sound" spending to me. Consider the hassle (or madness) of squeezing the MRT crowd during peak hours everyday (and the uncertainties), hike in taxi fares and unpredictable bus schedules, the only other transport mode is private car. bro.. going forward towards a 100k coe, how is it possible to have only 15k spending per year? that piece of paper alone is already 10k..

Vctm Neutral Newbie June 6, 2012 Share June 6, 2012 (edited) Guys sorry if I'm a little out of subject here but this is my first post and I cannot start my own subject. This thread looked pretty active so... I plan to move to Singapore next month and I will need a car for my job. I get a general understanding of the Singapore market and its specificities but I would really appreciate if you could help me with the following: 1- let's I'm going to buy a used car for 40,000sgd, with 3-4 years remaining on the COE. How much will be the value of this car when the COE expires ? (I'm looking for instance at a 1.6L VW Golf or an MPV like a Toyota Wish) My understanding is COE = 0, but then the car itself, how much can I get for it ? 2- Is it possible to get a loan for a car that is longer (repayment over 5 years) than the remaining COE validity period ? 3- All in all, I plan a budget of 1,000 to 1,200 per month (free parking at home and at work, work outside CBD, home around Novena), what are my options (I expect about 15,000km per year, I have wife + 2 kids) ? Many thanks ahead for your insights ! Cheers Vincent Edited June 6, 2012 by Vctm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mohjoe 2nd Gear June 6, 2012 Share June 6, 2012 Sp4wn, you didn't include depreciation? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wt_know Supersonic June 7, 2012 Share June 7, 2012 (edited) i see many calculate TCO based on monthly loan repayment + road tax + insurance + erp + parking + servicing + other monthly operating cost. what about your downpayment? those who shows $500-$600 loan repayment every month is low due to high downpayment right? TCO for a car in Spore where got so low ! those who take 100% loan then calculation is more choon but not to forget the 'penalty' when sell car < 10 years Edited June 7, 2012 by Wt_know Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
13177 Supersonic June 7, 2012 Share June 7, 2012 Usually if your monthly instalement is $500-$600, either your car price is cheap or you downpayment a lot. Usually your car loan must be below $50K then your monthly instalement would be around $500-$600. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solar Turbocharged June 7, 2012 Share June 7, 2012 yes, that's why using depreciation is a more accurate gauge. include the interests incurred too, if u took loan... ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
