Coe car scrap cost

[Flykite]

actually, it comes down to what you can afford. for me, only COE cars are within my means. but maybe he thinks cars are everything. must buy branded and new, but COE cars can go fly kite. he think he can afford, others must follow. nothing to do with face. its hao lian

 

you calling me? haha...

 

stay on the topic guys

Borrow this thread:

 

I am thinking of buying a 6 yr-old Camry 2.4 (the first batch of big backside Thai made cars). Dealers are quoting 40+k (depreciation $6k-plus )

 

I should be able to drive the Camry till COE up lorry, but if I decide to sell after two years, what do you think the dealer will offer? Just the PARF, or plus a bit of money for the body? Are 8 year-old cars exportable?

 

Not asking bros here to predict the future, just want to gather more opinion and feedback from those who sold their old cars.

One of friend of mine bought this, according to him the value lost for next 2~3 yrs is one of the lowest in the 2~2.4L class... according to him he say only 4K per year onli. You can check it out

Call me @ 6748-0089. We deal in buying, selling, exporting and scraping all cars (any make and model).

[Old-driver]

ok what.

 

20k for 8 years

 

20/8= 2.5k a year for car. cheap what.

agree... surely you don't expect them to sell you 8k right?

[Hermitage]

I really hope to see those 1992/93 model Civic/Corolla out of the road to the yard when their COE expired in July/Aug this year, really a eye-sore, has been close to 20yrs on the road. No flaming pls coz I do see people renew another 10 yrs COE till 2019 when PQP was low at $2K to $3K+ but now want to ask $20K for their 20yrs old Civic/Corolla. Good luck to the next buyer of such cars

 

Agree that some of these owners are capitalising on the current high COE price to profit, and this I cannot condone. However, I disagree that these cars should be taken off our roads. Some may be of the opinion that these cars are an eyesore, but if kept properly, I find these cars much more appealing than the new ones which just lack character, soul and that intangible X-factor that makes us petrolheads wanna take a 2nd look.

 

Their charm is in their rarity and once extinct, we will NEVER again see them in Singapore. Automotive Heritage will be lost. New cars, though nice and shiny, are all too common and bore the living daylights outta me. The same, generic shapes, albeit in different colours, seen over and over again make them souless and without personality. In fact to me, they're really an eyesore! Show me a 90s Civic anyday, or even better this '73 Celica and you'd have me drooling outta every orifice!

Yeah babeee!!! What a beaut eh?!

 

My dream car when I was young!

 

Same here mate! Used to be one at the estate where I was living as a kid in the 80s, black with a "firebird" design on the bonnet.

 

If you got the means, why not keep the legend alive?! It won't be cheap though! At $32K with a virtually expired COE, we're talking depreciation of nearly $8k a year if you were to renew COE on this baby!

the heart is willing while the fresh is weak Yes its not cheap and considering the upkeep of the vehicle its as good as keeping a new car man! but having said that... what a beauty.... drool.....

Haha! Too true. For me, it's "the heart is willing, but the bank balance is weak!"

 

Still... ... *droooooool*

Haha, you're not too bad yourself, being able to upkeep the AE86 in Singapore for so long.

 

I do feel that many of the older cars, though often being less refined and having fewer features, have far more "character" and "soul". To me, it would make the sourcing for parts which is part and parcel of owning an old car worth it. But having to renew the COE every 10 years is what kills interest in a lot of people, especially during times like this when the COE goes back to high prices.

Heee! The "pat lok" is the main reason for the weak bank balance! But you too mate, lovely Crown you've got there! Or is it a Cressida? Whatever, very nice VIP look on your car. As if any moment, Chow Yun Fatt and Alex Mun could step outta it in black trench coats with both guns blazing!

 

You're absolutely right about the stupid COE. Arrgh! Just thinking about it makes my blood boil...

Haha! Anyone would have a weak bank balance owning any vintage car, unless you happen to be rich. But the time and money spent is well worth it.

Mine's a Nissan Cedric diesel. Turning 19 this year. It used to have even more of a VIP look with a custom bodykit when it was the previous owner but he eventually restored it to stock form because of all the humps in carparks! He only left me the set of 18 inch rims. So far its been extremely reliable and only wear and tear parts replaced, nor was it very expensive to buy in the first place, but upkeeping it in HK is really expensive. To look on the bright side I can only be thankful I don't have to worry about when the COE is going to expire.

Right, Nissan Cedric. WoW!! How many years has that been extinct here in Singapore I care not to speculate. Superb example of a well kept classic though, congrats! Yeah, heard about the terrible parking charges and other such stuff in HK, but a low price tag and most importantly NO COE makes it more than worth it to own and maintain.
