COE Bidding – 2nd Round of April 2017

[Lowd1]

It never fails to amaze me how COE prices have continued to defy convention.

Jobless rate at an all time high and is expected to rise, yet COE prices continue to head North 

 

Its probably not jobless people that form the majority of car buyers. Just a guess

i have this question if anyone can help. My new car currently in PI shop since tuesday. PI told me that he have to wait for VAC. He added LTA is dragging the VAC processing time. Today i check with him he told me his manager haven reach his office and he have to check with his manager. does anyone know where could i check the VAC by myself?

obviously your pi SE trying to hide the fact that isnt ready stock with vitas checked bro. merely making you buy first while waitng for the approval check.

 

hopefully your coe already secured, otherwise, better pray the coe dont skyrocket. you may have chosen the wrong pi bro, any good recommendations needed pm me. can help i help

_{Can anyone creates a poll for :}   who will switch to buy commercial vehicles?

 

May get an idea whether cat a,b will drop in the next few months.

Buying a commercial vehicle is not as easy as buying a car la.

 

You need to register a company and every year it is subjected to some check if I am not wrong. Please correct me.

 

Unless you already have a company to register the vehicle to or your friend company.

The usual process for LTA to process VAC will take about 2-4 weeks.I believe your PI does not import the car themselves but get it from other dealer cos if they import themselves thei will usually send it for VAC upon the car reaching spore.You can try request for shippping document to show that the car is already in spore.

Shell company just need to hire someone to do all this reporting for you. Quite cheap.

The vehicle i book is in the company already. Just that when i ask they keep saying still pending. They that time say car can deliver to me by 3 rd week of april or latest 4th week of april

Correction! The unemployed are not buying cars. BUT they are leasing or renting cars, driving up demand for private hire cars, which indirectly drives up COE prices.

In the agreement what is the expected delivery date? If still haven't VAC cleared really doubt they can deliver so early as your accessories still need to be install after VAC is cleared. They should have send it for VAC clearance upon securing your coe.

went down to deal on 23rd jan. is a 4 bidgcoe. so they told me they can deliver by 2 months time. but delay till april 1st bid. so after  the coe secure on april first bid. This week tuesday i saw the car in their company. told me LTA dragging VAC.

I agree bro. I have friend who has coe secured but the car never arrive so end up he go to another PI with ready stock to buy the car without coe but need to top up 3k more.

i doubt the company even dares to put the expected delivery date on paper, if it was the case, then its obvious to you whether they know they gonna deliver to you on time or not.

 

not all PIs are like this. but i can say most do, when sales far exceed their stock available. and when coe flies north, so does your car if the PI cant handle the losses made per car.

 

having said that, even though my PI will make losses if coe rise, deliver of car will still be on time, without a single cent more. value of customer's trust and upholding reputation more important than money.

i also thinking of finding another PI. but my deposit is with them. and coe deposit is 10k. so if i want to find another PI. i scared is my deposit they wont give back

I booked my car around the same time as you on the 28 jan. Got my coe on the 1st bid of april and got my car last week.Car was delivered to me within 5 days of making final payment. I think you should get the chassis number from your PI and make another trip to your PI showroom again to verify the chassis number tally with what they give you.

In my agreement there is a expected delivery date indicated so they will have to meet it.

The deposit of 10k your PI has already paid to LTA and it is non-transferable under your name.You can look for other PI to just buy the car without coe but you may need to forfeit the 5k car deposit you have already paid to your PI.
