iphone8 4th Gear December 23, 2017 Share December 23, 2017 hard for buyers to take advantage of lower COE before VES kicks in? https://www.todayonline.com/singapore/tough-car-buyers-cash-low-coes-stricter-emissions-standards-kick-dealers Hard for buyer to take advantage but easier for dealer to take advantage on lower COE before VES. Buyer bought the car with high COE price but getting the car with lower COE value. ↡ Advertisement 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khng8 4th Gear December 24, 2017 Share December 24, 2017 The COE follows the Categorry the car is registered in. So in this case will be $46k. What the PI paid for Open Cat does not affect the paper value. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cypher 4th Gear December 24, 2017 Share December 24, 2017 i saw toyota vios 1.5 on the road today. gosh the size are just too so small when compre to K3. K3 the most value buy in this category. Both cars from different segment. Fairer comparison will be Honda City. Anyway more important is the tandem distance rather than exterior size.

Apple-Tree 6th Gear December 24, 2017 Share December 24, 2017 Of course it is worthwhile. PI is paying more for less lor. LTA will collect the higher of the 2 CAT for that bidding cycle and will REBATE the lower of 2 CAT. Take note. Remember hor, no Topup !! My colleague just bought his 1.5cc ride from a PI and the PI is giving him the Open CAT last COE of $54 k for his hybrid car. He asked me if it is worth or value for money, i am not sure I told him. What shld I tell him? For the same bidding cycle. CAT E 54K is 2nd Nov bid. CAT B is 53711 lor ....... it's worth it cause now COE for cat B is only 46k vs his open cat COE of 54k so on paper he earn 8k already Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matrix0405 5th Gear December 25, 2017 Share December 25, 2017 (edited) Finally figured out the VES naming scheme. It is based on GCE 'O' level result. A1 being distinction, followed by A2, C grade is room for improvement. Are there any cars in Cat A that scored distinction? Popular models (Altis, elantra 'missed by 1 mark', k3) seems to be struggling to get a B. Hybrids, generally, flunked their exams.
