The Cat A and Cat B bottoms around 2008-2009 were close to $0. In 2018-2019, they were around $25k and $31k. In 2028-2029, they could be about $50k and $62k. This means the highs now could be the bottoms of the next cycle in 2028-2029 😅 in 2028 or 2029 I may not need a car any more my current car is the last of the mohicans. Bus, Mrt and Walk are the future. ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we are still much better supply today. 2021 1st half (Jan-Jun) already 22k vehicles registered, total year should be just below 40k. But COE is already 70-80k. Note that previous peak in 2013 was around 90k+ We are reaching peak even though COE supply is much more than last trough... it means that demand is on average higher. The new peak in 2023 should be >100k it is cyclical, 2 years later when COE exceeds 100k, people will say COE price at 70k today looks cheap . then 5 years later when COE price drops again, people will ask should they scrap the 100k COE and buy a car with a cheaper COE. This is one reason MCF continues to have active posts.😄 3 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few years back, I was debating with a forumer on where COE will go from $30-40k level. I bought in 2018/19. He argued that many millennials will go carless. Looks like he is still waiting for his $20k COE. Come on, if can afford, who wants to take public transport (don't mistake exception exceptions as the norm)? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamesc Hypersonic October 9, 2021 Share October 9, 2021 (edited) COE is cheap, buy now November 2013 Cat B COE was S$84,578 What people never take account is inflation. $50k COE in 2007 is not the same as $50k COE in 2021 $50k COE in 2007 is higher than in 2021 because people never take into account inflation over the 14 years! Can anyone lend me $10k today and I will pay you back $10k in 14 years time? Will you be happy you don't lose even 1 cent? No right? So if you take account of inflation COE is cheap!

Think the demand dropped because population dropped from 5.69 to 5.45 million too. I think majority of the drop in population are the migrant workers. They don’t buy cars. 6 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new peak in 2023 should be >100k Yup. But if you look at the chart. You hardly see any cars from the 10-15year range. Vs now. So quite a bit of the quota numbers are taken up to extend coe. Thus instead of a 10year cycle where you see most of the coe recycled after 10years, it’s now closer to 15, so the 600k cars are spread over 15years instead of 10years about a decade ago. So likely less supply a year means prices will be up. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
