Jwee85 5th Gear April 4, 2019 Share April 4, 2019 here we will go again. Panic buyers rush in during the rebound, willing to pay for guaranteed COE package. Those previously on Non-G package will also be willing to pay for top-ups. AD SEs all Chio-mi-mi all the way to the bank. This kind of panic buying will push up the COE for the next few rounds, for sure. And will stay at those high levels since COE growth is zero and the replacement quota for the next ten years will be 'Low'. Cheap COE days are likely to be OVER. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinceng Turbocharged April 4, 2019 Share April 4, 2019 (edited) Wonder this weekend showrooms will be crowded with panic buyers or empty. Showrooms will be packed. Car distributors will inject fear in buyers and tell them that - 1) COE prices are set to rise further with the decrease in quota for the next quarter 2) Current prices are only valid this weekend. Next Monday, prices will increase by another $2,000 as "there were many cars booked" 3) And more lies... With thousands of backlog bookings made when COE prices were lower the past few weeks, do you think the dealers would dare bid high and end up reducing their profit? Seems like COE is recession proof. https://www.cnbc.com/2019/04/03/germany-could-enter-a-recession-in-2019-economist-says.html Edited April 4, 2019 by Vinceng Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like they would not allow coe to drop further to $20k and below?! think lowest coe was around $23k for cat A? Then game over liao and now coe going up.

Thus its no wonder the low coes wont last for long. Now its back to the 'norm' level of coe prices i'm skeptical about the FTs with higher qualifications and spending power....seems more like importing cheaper labour than quality FTs If you really look around, the ang mohs are not the ones driving the big cars...they can't bear to spend so much since the are used to 10-20k for a decent conti car back in their own country. With that budget, you can't even buy that piece of blood sucking paper here Edited April 4, 2019 by Sng28 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
