Rocky35 1st Gear December 22, 2017 Share December 22, 2017 i agree with you to tax richies and elites but i do not agree with you to "kill the golden goose" we need the richies to continue to pump money into singapore with their $20M sentosa cove and $1M ferrari so $500K VES would not work ... they can buy 2 x Ferrari in USA with $500K VES the current 140% 180% ARF for tok-kong car already pushing the limit ... can push a little bit more ... haha Ah, yes I think can push much more for overall increase in tax revenue, because super car buyers in SG aren't thinking in practical terms, (it's already so impractical in terms of speed limits, road conditions, price relative to other countries), they are thinking in terms of keeping up image. As long as they know that within SG, this is the price for everyone and no one can avoid it, they will be willing to pay for the purpose of the status symbol. Keeping up with their other rich friends and society people. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spring Moderator December 22, 2017 Share December 22, 2017 Kia also published their banding, all models in B except Sorento AWD C1 and Niro in A2 Surprisingly, the K3 is the same thing with Elantra ....... http://www.sgcarmart.com/new_cars/pricelist/18/2017-12-22.pdf K3 in band B means neutral but the LTA chart showed Elantra as $10k surcharge which would make them uncompetitive cos they selling well precisely due to Low price. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jach66 2nd Gear December 22, 2017 Share December 22, 2017 How come the difference between Honda Vezel vs Honda HRV?

Spurman Supercharged December 23, 2017 Share December 23, 2017 I had been in china for the past 1 week+. Seeing so many full electric and hybrid car on the road. So many electric car charging point at public car park. We are really falling far behind. No need need to said about the cashless payment here. Even the coal province. Shanxxi.

If no one is willing to pay for their asking price, do u think they still can ask for their price? The reason it can be materialized is because of willingly buyers. These buyers can afford or earn more that you. Unless such buyers (demand) are exhausted, i will blame myself as incapable (vs those could afford) rather than the 2 above.

Wt_know Hypersonic December 23, 2017 Share December 23, 2017 (edited) K3 beats Elantra hands down Edited December 23, 2017 by Wt_know Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spring Moderator December 23, 2017 Share December 23, 2017 Do bear in mind that K3 price includes trade in car, insurance n loan to be taken thru AD whereas for Elantra, Komoco doesn’t insist on these conditions being fulfilled n hence I would say Elantra is a better buy but now since it attracts a VES surcharge, then I’m not sure anymore. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
