therock Supersonic November 9, 2017 Share November 9, 2017 There will be a mad rush to register cars in the next few bids so the cars avoid the new tax. For buyers still awaiting their COE or registration, do constantly check with your rep.. if they mess up, make sure your T&C covers you. E.g. For Toyota, you would have signed an undertaking to pay the VES if there's a delay. Dealers may also get sloppy with the finishing as they rush orders, so take half a day leave to go through the day. Check it in daylight, bring a friend, and a torchlight.. Check that the promised solar film, PPS etc have all been installed.. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kia7200 5th Gear November 11, 2017 Share November 11, 2017 Few of the car models already shown the 2018 after Ves price Example 11/11/2017 Mazda 3 sedan deluxe is selling 109k +- 2018 Same model will be selling at 115k+- Abt 6k diff, thought the Ves tax for mz3 is 15k But not all models r affected. The listed price for mazda 2, 2018 is cheaper than 11/11/2017. Thus I reckon there is rebate for this model. So my prediction, for those who r looking smaller cars like jazz, mazda 2 or attrage might be able to get a good deal after this yr. Very high chance there will be lesser ppl booking for cars after 2017 n therefore lower coe price. So those who r looking for small cars, maybe u can wait till 2018 BTW this is just my prediction. U know our government pattern more than badminton 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soya Supersonic November 11, 2017 Share November 11, 2017 Don't worry. U can be sure LTA will change the rules again if the ''environmental' reason doesn't result in higher tax for every car 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kdash Supersonic November 11, 2017 Share November 11, 2017 Picture paint a thousand words... based on my visit to BM last month, SE says LTA emission tests for some of the models are still ongoing (explains the "est" 2018 price for some cars). even hybrid cars are not exempt from VES tax... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

fungyee77 5th Gear November 11, 2017 Share November 11, 2017 (edited) For most of the global cars, you can get a pretty good indication of likely VES impact from the website - http://www.nextgreencar.com/. For most cars, the bottleneck is the NOX rating. If the NOX indications on the website are accurate, most of the small capacity turbos and diesel vehicles will be hardest hit, because they tend to be low CO2 (which fits CEVS) and high NOX. SGD15 - 20k increase is par for the course for mid-sized cars with decent power, for the most part. In fact, for Audi A4 1.4 turbo it looks like a SGD30k turnaround (SGD10k rebate to SGD20k surcharge). Can hardly blame the ADs here - think they are as bamboozled as the rest of us. For those who bought this year, just need to be thankful. Next year will be a different game. Edited November 11, 2017 by Fungyee77 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vratenza Supersonic November 11, 2017 Share November 11, 2017 The PIs have the VES figures that LTA have not even released? Power lah! When it comes to creative marketing, no one can beat the PIs.... Just wish they spend the same effort in making sure they don't run away with deposits or to provide real warranty for the cars they sell.
