Hachi 3rd Gear August 20, 2018 Share August 20, 2018 Last Saturday newspaper got one article says the Motorcycle COE should have crashed to $1, if not for the invisible hand that suddenly released 400 extra bids at the last 3mins before closing to push it up. The article said many big dealers are vested with $7000++ COE, so will die die not want to lost the ability to sell motorcycles for nothing. So instead they manipulated it for a gradual decline, so that the market will be stable and suckers motorcycle buyers will continue to pay high price for the $6000++ COEs for each motorcycles. I am quite sure, $1 Motorcycle COE will come true this week or in September. Cat.A = $ 28,890 Cat.B = $31,890 Cat.C = $ 29,990 Cat.D = $89 Cat.E = $30,099 It will not happen as the up front cost for MC COE is only $200. The commission for 6k more loan is more than $200. Why should the dealers bid lower than that? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwonder 1st Gear August 20, 2018 Share August 20, 2018 what's wrong? Care to share?Ride is very bumpy, seems like something wrong with suspension. Went to AD and test driven the test drive car and confirmed comfort level of my car is really bad. Whole car is vibrating and shaking over every undulating road. mer with this aftersales guy today and dare to tell me nothing wrong. Now fighting with AD to return the lemon. Which model u bought? How sour is your lemon? Thatâs a reckless purchase if just to avoid the road tad... Road tax is the main reason to hasten the change but not the main reason for changing. What do you mean "lemon"? You mean AD delayed the delivery of car, or charge you extra?Delivery was actually very fast and within 2 weeks of my booking. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes dealers forget to remove these blocks, which are meant to transport the vehicles from the factory to the destination and prevent the cars from bopping up and down during the voyage. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mengami 2nd Gear August 21, 2018 Share August 21, 2018 Allocation for next year is lower i thought? PQP is more stable than the actual COE price so even if I can't catch the bottom, it'll be somewhere near there. I think it's worth waiting a few more months. You're right to have your suspicions though, COE revenue is properly forecasted in our budgets every year (for 2018 it's 5.6B https://www.businesstimes.com.sg/specials/singapore-budget-2018/singapore-budget-revenue-and-spending-breakdown-2018/index.html) so our government is not going to let it stray too far from their forecast. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jwee85 5th Gear August 21, 2018 Share August 21, 2018 It will not happen as the up front cost for MC COE is only $200. The commission for 6k more loan is more than $200. Why should the dealers bid lower than that? Spot on. A 4% interest on just the $6000 COE value for 5 years is already = 6000 x 0.04 x 5years = $1200 money in the pocket for the motordiam's private loan to the bike buyer. This is why the motordiam dealers has the incentives to keep the COE sky high by bidding unnecessary even when there is a 56% increase in quotas. Surely there will not be a sudden increase in 56% more bikes buyers in last months based on the $6000+ COE level. And going forward will there be 56% more motorcycle buyers at the $5000++ levels? The surge in demand might come when COE crash to below $1000 this thursday! 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hachi 3rd Gear August 21, 2018 Share August 21, 2018 (edited) I am cool with regard to high prices for car Coe coz we have limited land. But for riders that depend on bike for basic transport and work. Newer bikes have better features like abs and bigger tyres. But the sky high Coe deter from those grp getting cheap transport. They should encourage self bid for motorcycle Coe. 5 mins job at atm with a $200 deposit. With coparate account, they can enter hundreds of bids with any potential buyers. But later milk the buyer and say it is the market value. Edited August 21, 2018 by Hachi 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lsm_83 2nd Gear August 21, 2018 Share August 21, 2018 Don’t they need genuine ic to bid? Like motor cars Bike dealer will bid coe under dealer's name. Once the bike registered, they will transfer to customer. So on log card will reflect as 1 transfer count. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StingerGT 5th Gear August 21, 2018 Share August 21, 2018 ð³ you seemed very knowledgeable. I really tired with dealing with these people. So much for a premium brand. I will ask them to check. The âAudiâ experience is really a big disappointment.Which Audi model? My new Q5 had suspension creaking noise upon collection, but easily solved in first servicing. I had some small niggling issues (nothing major) with my B9 A4 too and after 2 years they still couldn’t pinpoint and resolve it although I could replicate the issues to the chief technician.
