Hmmm but with today’s rise, the margin is fast dropping..... hmmmm Then no car lo. Haha ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took my $10k COE deposit and never do any work...... If never bid for you but still consider it a bid then ok, just wait all bids finished and take back the deposit and go elsewhere. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they manage to sell one at 8-10K profit, it would easily offset the "loss" they made on other cars (if they were to scrap those at paper value). And if they choose to rent out the cars for a short stint before scrapping them, they would even make money out of it. $1.5K to $1.8K per mth for simple bread and butter car is very easily achievable.. You are right. They will take in your used car at close to paper value and convince you to believe that your car is machiam worthless, and then the next moment before you knew it, they market it with big mark up. It will be better if you are trading in a used car which is going to scrap soon. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone renting cars during 3 mths CB? During those few months, cannot rent out, cannot sell but still face depreciation expenses... jialat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the problem that many buyers will face is that by the time they exit from 6 rounds of NG and start looking for something else, the prices across the board would have gone up quite a lot. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took my $10k COE deposit and never do any work...... all those who bought deals just before CB or right after CB, with non-G COE, and already into 4th or 5th bid, for this group, the game is no top up, no car. can prepare to take back deposit.

Even back in 2009 the unemployment rate is quite low. Still got alot people loaded to buy car one 😏 Woots, in line with my expectation. Huat! My expectation for Sept COE will be that the COE will continue to rise 1K - 5K for CAT A and B, given that the asset prices are maintaining well. People saying that "more work from home" and lesser people wanting car is bulls**tting themselves. Edited August 19, 2020 by SinkiesFTW Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
awhtc 6th Gear August 19, 2020 Share August 19, 2020 The bids versus quota is 2x for cars across the board. This is quite a strong demand. No top-up, no bid, no car. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBlurGuy Neutral Newbie August 19, 2020 Share August 19, 2020 (edited) Luckily i topup 2k for G Coe and got my car in July. At the rate the COE is going, those that bought during CB or Post CB will definitely get their deposit return.

Have to be. The weekend before COE bidding, send some negative news to create panic. Then up the price. This is what they best at doing. Which is good for me cause now I regret signing on the line as I want to change other car now. 😆 ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
