tjyand 2nd Gear January 21, 2021 Share January 21, 2021 Hopefully the more money is made from COE, the less money will have to come from GST, income tax, property tax, water tax!!! 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bensky 1st Gear January 21, 2021 Share January 21, 2021 Today’s loan is cheap and easy, and many are attracted to buy. Perhaps should tighten to a max of 50% loan at 5 years or less. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not coe will be 200k now already but of course we gotta factor in how uber left the market too since they were the biggest culprits with lion City rentals. Hilarious when cat A was 70k and attrage costs insane high. Yes they imposed maximum loan of 60%/70% with max tenure of 7 years and also moved Taxis out the normal cars category.

Perhaps should tighten to a max of 50% loan at 5 years or less. The introduction of the loan limits was NOT for the purpose of reducing pressure on COE. Rather it was to ensure people don't "over borrow" (aka over extend themselves) and the car value depreciates faster than the reduction of your loan balance and people used to be stuck with their cars cos the resale value was less than the balance loan and sellers had no cash to top up yet they also can't afford to pay the installments. If the curbs become too drastic such as 50% for 5 years, it will create a more "elitist" situation where the social divide will worsen and when COE does drop - who will it benefit more? The higher "SES" people. Rich get richer, poor get poorer. For me I think the loans are just about right now. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kind of agree we are already in an "elitist" situation when I see more Merc than Toyota on the roads these days (not counting PHVs). 😂 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamesc Hypersonic January 22, 2021 Share January 22, 2021 So many people over extended themselves buy condos buy cars and interest rates never went up and house and car prices went up. They are making a huge profit. Stupid people never do and now saying worry about your job worry about your job. If you sitting on millions in profits you Don't have to worry about your job. ↡ Advertisement 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
