Million Dollar Question .....

[Zanter]

How confident are you about your job security and the economy in 9 months time? You should be driving a car with positive equity when times r not so rosy. When u need to get rid of the car you wont be penalised too much.

 

Currently we are in the early stages of an economy contagion which started with the subprime crisis in the USA, which will undoubtedly hit the rest of the world. This is already reflected in the stockmarket which has a 9 months lead time over the real economy.

 

Dont listen to people who say "life is short" cos they are not living your life and for all your know they are car dealers/sellers. These people always prey on car buyers fears. COE will fly sky high. Since 1 year ago they have been singing this song!

 

Personally if you need a car then u have to buy a car. If you buying a Cat A car I dont think there is much difference but if you r buying a higher end Cat B then you may wish to wait for the lower OMV. Eirther way a car is a lose money proposition, so buy as if you are paying rental cos at the end of the 5 years you will be lucky to breakeven. Reclaim your deposit? Forget it already!

A fren of mine told me tis, when u go Geylang now, u pay higher price 4 the young one, ten years down the road, u get the same person, at much lower price.The choice is yours.

 

Very good illustration!!

 

Another question is ..... when that gal is there ... then ... would you be able to do what you can do now?

 

 

I like yr phrase...

[Santa]

agreed. life is short. you could die tomorrow!. got a friend who everything he wan to buy also said wait till the price drop.i keep telling him life is so unpredictable maybe you dun buy now no chance liao

 

can burn paper car , paper condo, paper flat screen tv hahahahaha (confirm cheap)

[Ultramega]

buy now.

 

cos ARF cut from 110% to 100% translates to only a few thousand dollars discount. but COE may go up more than a few thousands.

 

eg, OMV of $30,000, discount of 10% = $3000 only. that's if you buy expensive cars.

if you buy entry model cars with OMV $15,000, discount is only $1500!

 

current COE prices (before COE quota cuts) are already moving up and down by $1500-$3000 averagely. with the cuts in place, the difference will most likely be more.

 

so, increament > discount = more expensive.

[Ultramega]

it's also inline with how geylang operates.

 

If the girl is rock bottom price, then they will just take her off the shelves and push out the new ones.

 

sometimes they would change her name, give her a new hairdo, then push out as new girl also.

Didn't read about any tay swallowing things. Is it related to the recent incidents about all the celebrities and their ice cream advertisements?

The Million Dollar Question ...

 

ok lah, not really million dollar but its still on people's mind ...

 

If you are in the market for a new car soon i.e. within 9 months, would you buy it now or wait? If wait, why?

 

Considering that OMV rebate in March plus announcement of new COE quota to be released in April, timing for purchasing a new ride is becoming more critical. Anyone care to add these 2 cents worth?

 

dun think so much. if you're eyeing a car and know that you'll drive it for long, just get it.

 

f the resale value or whatever factors in. buying car in sg is forever lose-lose situation one.

Which are the car on your list? I'd guess if its a rather new model, still have chance that price will go down after some time.
