flashbang Turbocharged February 8, 2016 Share February 8, 2016 Ms Elaine Samboo sounded like fruit tart. If she paid $200 for her COE, what is she doing at the showroom? Her car should have at least 2-3 years more to go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forte3737 5th Gear February 8, 2016 Share February 8, 2016 Thanks, but i dont need an explanation on why the prices may become this way. I know why. I am simply saying thats its all wrong that CatA should be more than CatB from a logic perspective and the fundamental reason of the COE's existance. Otherwise why have diff categories? Therefore my way is the only way for a non complicated, fair and objective driven COE system. A system where people need not "gamble" and decision making is truly based on needs and affordability. LTA listen up. Mr Minister listen up. This is the solution. Fix the prices of the COEs in each different CAT. Obviously CAT B must be higher than CAT A no matter what. Add in a higher priced CAT C for supercars above 4000cc (and dont tell me the road tax already serves that purpose) Thereon the COE prices will float according to the GDP + inflation rates of the country. If we do well as a country, COE goes up and if we dont it drops accordingly. Everyone pays the same price within a year, no stupid bidding. As with Road Tax, plse scrap that bulls**t, a dumb 5000cc supercar may use less road space than a silly 1800cc MPV. And certainly clocks lower mileage. Plse be logical. Everyone understands logic. The question is left than to how much the base CAT A COE should be fixed at and what the add ons to make it CAT B will be priced at. But we have the scholars to calculate that right??,?!,? Right?!,?,!.. Ps, just in case anyone thinks that i thought of this becos i am a disgruntled Singaporean who cant afford to pay for his COE and is therefore hoping for COEs to drop. Plse think again. Are you sure you can afford a new Korean car? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matrix0405 5th Gear February 9, 2016 Share February 9, 2016 Thats why i say, the price must be calculated by the scholars. Certain rules must be enforced. I also forgot to add in some points which i mentioned much much earlier, my bad. COE "bidding" must be paid in full cash only. Car loans must be enforced at 50% max for five years max, no private fiinancing or hanky panky. If caught, confiscate car, fine the business that lends. Eg. COE $50k (to be paid in full cash) Car price $60k, can borrow max $30k over 5yrs max. CAT coe should start at minimum of $50k, CAT B should be $70k Car must be registered in the name of the bidder of COE. Dealers cannot bid. One COE per name (above 21yrs) Additional COEs on same name will be doubled and tripled accordingly. Muayhahahahahahahaa Gong xi fa cai! Alamak, cannot give praise. You must be a scholar with first class from cambridge. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
_h_r_ 2nd Gear February 9, 2016 Share February 9, 2016 CNA reported that ADs had a three fold increase in sales during the CNY weekend, which normally should be quiet. Looks like the COE surge is inevitable. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ct3833 Supersonic February 9, 2016 Share February 9, 2016 Actually what is wrong with the current COE system? Cost of COE is hardly a valid reason. Car is a luxury good in the realm of transportation, like condos in the realm of housing. If no money, take the public transport and buy a BTO flat. Those who live in condo can go swimming in the pool downstairs everyday, those who stay in flat but want to swim also have to go to public pool. Similarly, those who take public transport but want to have convenience of car should go take the taxi. Call for one, it only costs $4 and you can wait at home until the taxi has arrived downstairs. If you want to suggest cheaper COEs so everyone can afford cars, might as well the government reduce cost of healthcare, childcare, schooling, etc. It will benefit almost every Singaporean. The key problem with the coe system is that lta allows the dealers to bid and package coe in the car price, if lta could change the system to allow only individual , then we all here will only have ourselves to blame if coe continue to stay high . 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackyv Turbocharged February 9, 2016 Share February 9, 2016 CNA reported that ADs had a three fold increase in sales during the CNY weekend, which normally should be quiet. Looks like the COE surge is inevitable. I see it as a sign where people don't celebrate cny much nowadays, they see it as another holiday break only... They value coe more then cny.

Chrispie 5th Gear February 9, 2016 Share February 9, 2016 (edited) Don't need to discuss so much actually. Said so many times already, if price is right and comfortable, just buy. If bought low. Good for you. Even if bought high, you also know you won't be screwed. It's just a car lah.. Why need to subject yourself to all these worries and headaches. If one keep analysing... But won't dare to pull the trigger. At the end of the day he's just a paper general. Edited February 9, 2016 by Chrispie 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
