Pixel18 1st Gear June 17, 2020 Share June 17, 2020 What is certain - there will be no imminent COE price crash. This round is likely to be stable to slightly higher. Subsequent ones would likely downward glide to stable at around $10K in few months time when full recession impact on economy is realised. The safety net of PHV demand is weak to non-existent for a while more to come. For used cars, stay away for now till the prices are forced downwards by market conditions as the depreciating pressures on dealers is not trivial and they must react to survive. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinceng Turbocharged June 17, 2020 Share June 17, 2020 The annual depreciation for used cars in sgcarmart, is conservatively, at least 20-30% higher than brand new cars. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fitmugen 5th Gear June 17, 2020 Share June 17, 2020 No way COE will go down a lot. Govt need to increase revenue after massive spending. COE does not affect the low income so it’s important to continue to maximize revenue there. Not to mention after election, you not happy with high COE also nobody cares.

Skyline6 Clutched June 17, 2020 Share June 17, 2020 (edited) i know maybe gov have mentioned it is one of the revenue stream for them. But I kind of disagree that they tampered and purposely change the parameters to create 'support' or 'push' the COE price. Other than recent suspension of coe bidding action by LTA. Anyone got any info (facts) regards to this? Edited June 17, 2020 by Skyline6 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

publicfigure Clutched June 17, 2020 Share June 17, 2020 (edited) When COE goes up LTA will provide evidence of high demand, while low demand LTA will limit the quota because government need money?

Government like that one ah, cheat people? Of course govt should not do that. But if you look at the big picture, it is more equitable to increase revenue collection from luxury goods like cars than raise GST which affects the low income disproportionately. If you want to walk the talk with SG United, then let the better off Singaporeans shoulder the burden. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone thought COE was sliding down to below $50k when they suddenly announced the COE bid is to be postponed for one week pending an announcement in the budget announcement in Parliament. COE spiked. Turned out that urgent announcement was just to change the ARF of motorbikes or something. But the prices have gone up..... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

However then government should make it clear if it’s for revenue collection and put in the fix margin of tax instead of manipulating COE price. It defeats the purpose of having COE. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
