13177 Hypersonic February 17, 2017 Share February 17, 2017 For potential buyers on the verge of buying, does it make sense to lock in prices now (esp for guaranteed coe bidding) before the announcement ? Its a gamble but I reckon the chances are the announcement will not be beneficial to buyers. Since when coe system beneficial to buyers? Lol. ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeliu 1st Gear February 17, 2017 Share February 17, 2017 Don't we love staying and living in sillyapore. Doubt will be good news to all new car buyers. i like this word: sillyapore, maybe the impact is big, surely will affect two sides: the sellers and the buyers. It could be: 1. The usage cost of a car will be increase by a big percentage, maybe through petrol/desiel tax, maybe through high road tax, but this is very likely to happen. 2. The loan scheme will be changed to 20% 10 years, this is needed to power up the economy. 3. Car category definition maybe changed as well. 4. CEO categories will be modified by accommodating the requirements from uber/grab/taxi companies etc. 5. Car ARF change? maybe reduced? will be a big question mark. 6. Include car loan affordability check before you get any loan? maybe some figure change. ... to be add on ... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
obat22 2nd Gear February 17, 2017 Share February 17, 2017 What about those buyers who brought recently like me? Carparks rates already increased, ERP recently went up at certain gantries. What else now? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TangoElite 6th Gear February 17, 2017 Share February 17, 2017 Since when coe system beneficial to buyers? Lol. when they made a mistake on growth rate from 2007-2009 and COE was super low for years so many years you all still don't understand the govt meh? delay so that people can rush in before the changes start long queues overnight at showrooms coming again this scenario very high chance Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tianmo Hypersonic February 17, 2017 Share February 17, 2017 this is more exciting than the Presidential Erection news It would have to be quite earth shaking for the Govt not to have pre-warned the major stake holders ( car dealers and banks) prior to announcement. Even need to give them a few days to digest and collaborate cooperate very unusual indeed. I suspect it may lead to very different reactions, may take sometime for all to find the mid point in a mixed market. Even then what follows may still need adjustment within the market. Monday will see a bomb drop and troops running ard to find counter attack direction. Those placed orders with guaranteed bids have no worries, it is contracted already, worst case wait out until last bid to collect car. Is those under non-guarantee bids and those waiting on the side line waiting for durian to drop, these grps may have to react accordingly. But we cannot write anything off too early, who knows durian may finally drop, and these are the ones having the last laugh. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benarsenal Turbocharged February 17, 2017 Share February 17, 2017 Lai liao lai liao. Everybody waiting for Monday... My take - Probable: Diesel tax, or at least disincentives. In addition, incentives for hybrids. Maybe an amendment to CEVS to give more advantages to hybrid/electric cars. Maybe: Drop the 130bhp Cat A COE. Clearly that has been a failure so I don't see any point in continuing this. Maybe realignment of COE categories, perhaps no more based on engine size. This one not sure but could make sense. Also maybe restructure of road tax? Could be a lead on from dropping the road tax disc. Perhaps road tax may be a variable component based on age and fuel type, among other factors. Of course it's all speculation only la. We shall see. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Showster Twincharged February 17, 2017 Share February 17, 2017 Not forgetting satellite erp implementation date is near. But doesn't look very likely at the moment. Most likely moving PH bids or regulations for PH car registration and use. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winningeleven 4th Gear February 17, 2017 Share February 17, 2017 I believe that not all new implements are immediate. Just to let potential buyers to have more time to decide from next tues to thur For example. New on Car above 130 bhp to be classifled category B was announced in sept 2013 but effective on Feb 2014. I also guess govt might change the rebate for OPC. maybe from 17k to 30k or 35k? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nutty 4th Gear February 17, 2017 Share February 17, 2017 "change the rebate for OPC. maybe from 17k to 30k or 35k" Good strategy to increase demand and push up COE!!!

wlalala 4th Gear February 17, 2017 Share February 17, 2017 actually if increase rebate for OPC not bad leh, can genuinely reduce traffic during peak periods and more people can own a car. Win win imo. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tianmo Hypersonic February 17, 2017 Share February 17, 2017 If increase rebate for OPC, @radx will dig out all the OPC threads, merge them all, and post one last post " KNNBCCB OPC" and lock it forever. x 10000000000000 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Googoo 4th Gear February 17, 2017 Share February 17, 2017 my take is most likely quota reduce for growth, CEVS to include in more pollupants to discourage sales of diesel, change in opc scheme (maybe shift in timing, increase in discount etc) and the worst case is increase in petrol tax yet again... could also include not allowing uber/grab to bid for coe.. jin exciting man..hahah ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
