13177 Supersonic August 7, 2019 Share August 7, 2019 Coe went up so much, this coming weekend or next, showroom should be like ghost town. I believe the $6k increased in Cat A should be due to some big car company bidding for commercial use?! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scion Turbocharged August 7, 2019 Share August 7, 2019 when the economy is booming, everyone jumps into buying new cars COE surge will be followed by many more rushing to the showrooms, afraid that the prices will go up further when economy tanks, a high COE price will probably see empty showrooms, as people avoid to commit to big ticket items during times of uncertainty just my guess 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A car or a house is a medium to long term commitment. Yet buying behaviour is made based on at the moment kind of mindset. E.g Good time buy car can over stretch to take loan say 7 years - as if so sure good times confirm for 7 years. Vice versa Edited August 7, 2019 by Alfc 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prataboy 3rd Gear August 7, 2019 Share August 7, 2019 These are funny human behaviour isn't it. A car or a house is a medium to long term commitment. Yet buying behaviour is made based on at the moment kind of mindset. E.g Good time buy car can over stretch to take loan say 7 years - as if so sure good times confirm for 7 years. Vice versa In the SG context, buying a car with the 10-year (or 15-year) lifespan is about timing the COE. This is unique to SG, unlike other countries, where one can decide to use the car forever if money is an issue, to spread out the cash flow. I think, just like houses, there would be opportunities to refinance and reduce the monthly installment. Similarly for the used car market. In SG, the prices follow the new car market with slight discount. Again, this is unique to SG with the COE system. When new car prices are high, used car prices will follow. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinceng Turbocharged August 8, 2019 Share August 8, 2019 (edited) My ride expires in Dec.. Still have hope for decrease in COE price? Looking to get new ride.. No harm to wait and monitor. Anyway, if you trade in your existing ride, you'd be getting just the paper value. Might as well use it till the end of its lifespan. So even if you eventually pay slightly more for your new ride, the fact that you maxed out the life span of your existing car and used it till the last day covers up for it. Sure to have promo end of the year from Nov, as distributors make a last ditched effort to meet their annual sales quota.

Thank you in advance Sensei & senpai here. Most likely they will offer you open cat. If they ask you to top up, tell them the deal is off, and get back your deposit. Does the sales agreement states the terms of the refund? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you in advance Sensei & senpai here. If they say 1 time guaranteed coe and now they cannot secure coe for you, by right they should refund your deposit to you. So that you can move to other ADs. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
