COE- March 2011 1st Bidding Exercise

[Proton_neutron]

 

 

having ERP's just extends the time of peak hour. The usual peak hour is 6-8pm. But now, it's 5-11pm. People now would stay in their office longer, just to beat getting pass an operational ERP. And this sucks.

 

 

[Mllcg]

ERP is just rubbish, its everywhere and just impossible to avoid at all.

The cars got to be on the roads and not like there is an alternatively route to get to town during peak hours.

Unlike places like bangkok, you take the highway, you pay the toll. If you dont wish to pay the toll, there is still another route to destination.

 

So are the government encouraging people not to work in town by erecting so many ERPs to it and if working in town should just take mrt/bus, so that the ministers can go to work in town smoothly?

 

Maybe companies in town should change office hours.

 

there's many routes to town.

 

what they should do is charge for the most direct and crowded route.

 

the other routes free or min sum.

 

one example is ECP to rochor exit

 

KPE to rochor exit.

 

 

the difference in traffic is alot.

 

 

price of gantry same.

 

 

what they are doing now and want us to continue is, u want drive to work, u pay ERP. want save, drive only after ERP hours.

 

discourage driving

[Kyrios]

to down 30k in reality is alot cos it means one shd have mayb 50k or more in savings...and then the 60k loan

 

No lah, one shot take out 30K I also feel impoverished and weird..but i think many bros in MCF can afford that...just thinking out loud for them..wahaha

[Mksoo]

so with lesser people buying cars, does this not mean that the new cars industry will be affected?

how does this benefit them and the consumers?

high COE for the sales office means no/lesser buyers.

high COE for the consumer means every year u lose more money. right now 60k COE means every year u already lose 6k.

 

no wonder singapore dont need to develop or create their own cars, sell paper already equates to the cost of a new car.

 

is this what we want to see for singapore? cars being driven for over 10 yrs? just renew coe at 100k-150k?

whatever happened to the promise of every family being able to afford a car?

 

just curious ... when is promise of every family being able to afford a car ??

I wouldnt say its promised, but they did say cars will be affordable.

ERP implementation was also said to be needed so that cars will be more affordable.

Yet COE now has priced cars out of the affordable range for the middle income and ERP cost has increased too, without reducing congestion.

 

So isnt this a step backwards and contradicting to what it is currently?

[Carer]

market very bad, made worse with japan disaster. i think the COE will drop for the next round. hai.. regret getting it last week at $62k...

[SimonTan]

I suppose with the many delays in Japanese cars from japan. And the engine parts delay for Thailand factory,etc.

Many popular Japanese model will face factory delay.

 

COE will crash the next few rounds, as many jap AD might not have enough car stocks to register.

 

[Maroon5]

if the coe crashes, its becos of the stock market and the seasonal mid yr lull.

but doubt it will.

[SimonTan]

Who knows....VW also report that it might be affected by the shortages in its japanese parts too!

 

Yesterday news, BM said it has 2-3months of vehicles stock in Singapore. What happen if the stocks are not replaced by MAY?

 

I predict there will be a slow down in COE bidding, since BM toyota is the no.1 car sales, any reduction in its car supply will means less COE to bid.

 

Get ready for $1 COE in May.

haha ok..im sure many many pple wil welcome this.

[Jp66]

Get ready for $1 COE in May.

Get ready for low COE in May.

 

[TMCTR]

COE drop also cannot get the car.. Bid for what...

[SimonTan]

Bid for the cheap COE in May and then buy non-jap cars.

Can buy Opel, Skoda, VW, Audi......

Toyota might not be the top seller in 2011 if really there is great disruption in the supply of cars to Singapore.

Singapore is a small market....the priority is low. So Toyota might just replenish USA, UK and Europe car stocks as priority!
