I do not have a trade in and isn't taking any loan. This may explain the sales person reluctance to match my initial offer of $90k nett. I will trust your analysis of the COE trend because anyone who can full cash a car without trade in is surely a worthy MCFer of the table wiper class. ↡ Advertisement 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Civicblade 2nd Gear August 15, 2021 Share August 15, 2021 History is going to repeat itself. Look at the COE quota and price from 2011 to 2014 and there is no denying that COE is on the way back up to $70k and beyond. The effect of PHV and higher wages for upper/middle income (for people who can really afford cars) will drive the COE prices higher than the 2014 peak. The stimulus from the Singapore government and the inability of Singapore's middle class to spend money (overseas travel) will mean some avenue to let off steam (purchases). Property is leading the way and inflation will ultimately work its way to new cars in Singapore. We are a small island in involution (内卷). Tuition, office politics, keeping up with the Jones, COE and finally which level your ashes altar is positioned. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuition, office politics, ke What stimulus from the SG government? Less than $1k for most people in cash last year and jobs support scheme. I dont recall anything else major. What fuels inflation is the low interest rates which has nothing much to do with the SG government. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The AD just called saying COE should be going up, asking if I want to top up 1k for guaranteed COE. Is this a common practice? Pretty common when the COE is in a rising trend. One thing I like about TEK's sales agreement is that the counting of the bids attempt starts from the first bidding exercise after the sales agreement was signed. Whether TEK participate in the bidding exercise or not, one bid attempt is counted. You do have the certainty that after 6 bidding exercises conducted by LTA, you can request for your deposit back.

The lie is that COE is going up. Look at last 3 months. Updownupdown. You would be an idiot to pay Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

More important question is how much the AD is going to bid for you. Edited August 17, 2021 by hansmith Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the traffic will become heavy again by end of this month or next month, when more activities will be open up and more people would be allowed to go back to office soon. Although already find the current traffic quite heavy liao. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
