Pixel18 1st Gear April 3, 2020 Share April 3, 2020 It is just a matter of time, probably sooner than later, COE will come under $10k and well below. More are worried where their next meal is coming from. The state of global economy is in doldrums. Recovery from the disease will be patchy, slow, and far from the horizon at this point. Optimistically, 12 months but realistically, 24 months. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not if bidding postpone I think Apr 8 have to go ahead since got take so many orders oredi... but if postpone they may be letting dealer make one last firesale before shut down... seeing quite a lot of ads/promos but idk who dare to buy esp PI or knowing u must wait 2-3 months to collect Plus if u dun get COE on Apr 8 then when gonna get it? Wait till May? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it mean I can order a Ferrari online for me to test? joke aside. the salesman then has to drive to the showroom, get the car, drive to my place, let me test, then go back to showroom, disinfect or wipe down car etc...... seem inefficient. And who buys cars online? Maybe I too low ses Corporate account and fleet sales are done that way.. u get to drive for a week before you sign on the dotted line 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Open cat quota is much smaller than cat A and B. How to use to cover I dun mind if they freeze COE bidding. But they must also extend existing cars COE expiry accordingly for all. Cannot just extend for those expiring in next three months... we also face depre regardless Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let the Coe Bid continue. Announce that in view of the situation, COE quota for month of April will be reduced by 90%. This 90% will be returned back to the pool gradually from May onwards. The reason is to prevent sharp swings in COEs. Those who car is due to be scrapped in April but now have issues getting a new car because of this can have the option of scrapping as planned OR pay pro rated monthly PQP and road tax for this period. Pro rated road tax - if the road tax is $1200 yearly, they need to pay $100. Pro rated coe - if PQP is $24000, that's $2400 per year or $200 for monthly coe. Like this it is fair for all and less disruption. My two cents. Edited April 4, 2020 by Philipkee Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I will be very shocked if there are people losing jobs it having pay cuts buying cars now. I would have thought they would be relieved if coe is suspended and they could withdraw their purchase. And those rich ones should not have problems paying... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chongster 6th Gear April 4, 2020 Share April 4, 2020 they can stop the bidding and fix COE price at last drawn price, or PQP price for next two rounds. it's not about revenue or what not, but the system is not designed to work in this kind of situation and all you can do is to keep it in animated suspension and revive it when things normalize.

Trailbazer Neutral Newbie April 4, 2020 Share April 4, 2020 Even if COE crashes, showroom and dealers all closed there will be no one to take the orders. It will just accumulate all potential orders in May and COE will surge again. Just my thought. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
