Showrooms not opening in Phase 1. What about COE?

[Jamesc]

I know how to stop used car dealers clocking cars. 

Seller clock the car before selling to the used car dealer. 

10 years 38k km. 

What is the us e car dealer going to do?  Clock to 28k km?

Don't let used car dealers cheat you. 

Cheat them first.

I am not taking the side of these dealers.

I am looking at it from our financial system stability perspective.

Probably adjust to 18k coz they can't help themselves and it's industry practice (apparently)

They will say owner frequent travel overseas so car always parked in shelter, washed daily, service every month and warn buyer to be careful of high mileage car....lol

I have never been a willing buyer. 

I buy car and honestly reluctantly pay for COE,  road tax,  dealers margins, ERP,  even car park coupon and high petrol prices. 

Very reluctantly.

I can only conclude COE is definitely coming down and their margins are very good.

Not to forget : own by lady driver. 😂

Not stereotyping but from my experience I have seen many literally "flying" over the humps...

I know tis used car dealer drove the car i came to view , he admitted he droved the car daily for past 1 week, ( 1st wk March/20 )  saying car performance was good, FC is average and it's value for dollar . . . .

I thank him for telling me the truth and walk away . . . the said car is till in the used car  lot.

It's common for used car dealers to drive the used cars on sale, at random  for their own use. I suppose it's to keep the car in running condition, else more problem will occur if it's sitting at the showroom unused for months.

Anyway, the used car is probably trashed by its previous owner before handover.
