So a friend of mine bought the previous gen leftover stock of a small Nippon car. CB deal was 50k, topped up 5k and secured this bid for Cat A. With the QP of $35.7k, her car cost what 20k?

Return deposit one thing, your deal also gone up in smoke. 🤪 If unable secure COE, it's better to give up the purchase in this economic downturn never seen before, since S'pore's independence. COE is at $35K - $38K now, but the prices of new cars similar to 2017 when COE was at > $50K levels. Current COE prices are not indicative of real market conditions, as they are artificially inflated by the evil forces determined to drive COE prices north. 😁 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the rate the COE is going, those that bought during CB or Post CB will definitely get their deposit return. Can I ask what car you got? Congrats! You took the plunge when people like myself sit back lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is what happened to me too but my dealer did secure a COE at the last G bid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Passion 5th Gear August 20, 2020 Share August 20, 2020 Those CB deals, I think can forget it. Try asking dealer to cancel off the deal, you see their reaction? They will be more than happy to cancel off. Why? They got a list of people waiting! Don’t believe? Try it! Hahahah! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My SE said... those bought during CB period, cite retrenchment or job not secure, likely they will allow to cancel immediately. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, there are a lot of people that buy car and depreciation is not somehting that they look into... Some is for the brand prestige (show factor) and some maybe love at first sight. haha Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But not looking into vs not knowing how to is very different no? And people wonder why youngsters nowadays have so much debt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobbyTan_74287 4th Gear August 20, 2020 Share August 20, 2020 Just compared the prices during CB and now. Actually top up is the right choice as long as the overall prices are still much below the current prices. Congrats to all that get their COE.

chewsj Neutral Newbie August 20, 2020 Share August 20, 2020 actually, how common is it that SE/AD do not manage to secure COE and refund deposit back to you? like do they die die need to make a minimum of e.g. 10/15/20/25% premium (calculated using basic cost from sgcarmart) otherwise, they will just wait and refund deposit?
