Soundphile 2nd Gear February 4, 2021 Share February 4, 2021 some new models are selling very well with delivery stretching till June/July. So ADs will not bid so early for them. Plus a pull back of the COE price can attract more new buyers. Playing very well into their cards... ↡ Advertisement 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AD will bid slowly for those car in June/July and bid lower amount. So if COE dip, then the buyer will get the COE at a lower amount. If COE rises, then wait for next round.

Of course AD hoping COE go downwards then they made more profit as car prices were already confirmed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bensky 1st Gear February 4, 2021 Share February 4, 2021 Why lower prices when there are buyers at current or even higher price levels? The economy is recovering and things are on gradual upswing and so will COE. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinceng Turbocharged February 4, 2021 Share February 4, 2021 The distributors deliberately went easy on bidding to manipulate this decrease in price, so buyers can flock to the showroom this weekend. Whether COE prices are headed north or south next round, even a 3 yr old can predict!!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The economy is still not out of the woods from covid 19, we will see more impact this year when the JSS stops and less help from the government, more SMEs may have to close shop and more people may lose their jobs. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

awhtc 6th Gear February 5, 2021 Share February 5, 2021 (edited) I think the worst is over, but that does not mean we are doing well generally. A good indicator could be how well the CNY goods and decorations e.g. mandarin oranges are selling. The sales only roughly half from previous years based on my observation.

A good indicator could be how well the CNY goods and decorations e.g. mandarin oranges are selling. The sales only roughly half from previous years based on my observation. People who do not buy orange does not means that he/she will not buy a car. Simply put it that there is only 4000 COE per month (Cat A+B+open cat). There is 5M people in Singapore. There are so much of rich FT coming in as well. The only one submitting the bids are the AD. So it really depend on how the AD bid for the COE. Ultimately the price control by the top 3 brands and how much they want to submit or bid for the price. We can only squeeze the AD as much as possible and wait for it.

Bensky 1st Gear February 5, 2021 Share February 5, 2021 Global economies are extremely high on liquidity at levels never seen before in previous downturns - thanks to multiple stimulus measures. Thus, there will not be any deep or protracted recession ahead. Selected small sectors will recover slower than others but that will not weigh down the buoyant recovery momentum. Once vaccination is at steady state globally from 2nd half 2021, the economic upswing will be strong and sustained. Mark my words. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
