Matrix0405 5th Gear April 7, 2013 Share April 7, 2013 No wonder say feeling heat but no dealers lower their price. It is because they know some relieve coming their way. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ticklish8 3rd Gear April 7, 2013 Share April 7, 2013 Can't compare with 2008/2009. Dont think COE for Cat B will reach below $40,000. I may be wrong Din u know is250 was sold at 125k in 2008-2009? Do u mean wish at 123k is good deal? 😀 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voodooman Supersonic April 7, 2013 Share April 7, 2013 (edited) Can't compare with 2008/2009. Dont think COE for Cat B will reach below $40,000. I may be wrong That is my feel as well, while those who can afford the 50% d/p will continue to change car (small number of first time buyers will still be buying new with no trade in but many will be priced out by new CM), it will reach a point thereby those who can, are able to, complete their buying frenzy and COE should start to drop from current 70k or so. Car is a consumption item so most rich don't buy surplus cars to keep. The problem is COE quota is really tiny these days, so price will be well supported at around 50k. If they don't change the rules, COE should drop to below 40k in 2014/2015. Just my hunch. Edited April 7, 2013 by Voodooman Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jensenae77 Neutral Newbie April 7, 2013 Share April 7, 2013 Hi, kudos to all the bros and sis who made all unnecessary remarks about the used car dealers, This loan curbs affect all ppl who own cars especially those bought cars with high Coe.

People who bought vehicles at high COE were used as pawns in this high stakes game of chess Whilst I feel sorry for them, the current CMs are good news for the consumers (for a change) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Try_conti 2nd Gear April 7, 2013 Share April 7, 2013 Hi, kudos to all the bros and sis who made all unnecessary remarks about the used car dealers, This loan curbs affect all ppl who own cars especially those bought cars with high Coe. Don't see how it affects these ppl. All they need to do is to continue driving the car, that's all. Loss is only on paper. If can absorb loss, change car lah. If itchy backside, then bite bullet lor .... no one is forcing them to scrap their high coe cars now. Who knows what will happen a few yrs down the road. Buying car is a risk anyway. That's what the CM is supposed to address. If you can afford, go ahead. If can't, don't spend tmw's $$$. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like they're buying car as an investment. After 10 years, high or low COE your car still no value. Can always scrap/export, get back COE money and change to a new car with cheaper COE right?

Try_conti 2nd Gear April 7, 2013 Share April 7, 2013 their cars are already in negaitve equity. if any one of these people lose their job, they will be bankrupt. That's precisely what the CM is trying to prevent. Ppl spending tmw's $$$. Its a calculated risk that they took when they go for $0 d/p and 100% loan or go for new car with sky-high coe. If they assume they will forever get the next paycheck and that nothing will ever happen, well, they will get a reality check some time down the road. And it may be a bigger hole that the car loan ..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
