Fitnessbuff 1st Gear October 22, 2021 Share October 22, 2021 2nd hand car dealer always increases their price after COE released. Example Sienta standard increase from $8k plus yearly to $9200 then best, after COE release become $9800 up. Now at this type of situation, some of us need vehicle for work purpose to earn a living and they do such things. Dont you think it is despicable and inhumane of them. ↡ Advertisement 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stratovarius Turbocharged October 22, 2021 Share October 22, 2021 That's the problem of our world class coe system. Used car depre is the same as new ones. If used car depre don't follow, nobody will buy new car when coe is high and vise versa. 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ct3833 Supersonic October 22, 2021 Share October 22, 2021 (edited) Tell us something new. If you need a car to earn a living, you should have bought it when car was cheaper, now is not the time to buy car. If sienta is too expensive, buy something cheaper. Next question is do you really need a car to make a living ? If so, then no choice but to tighten your belt and suck it up . I have been looking at buying a used car too but since now the used car price has increased, I scrap my plan.

Roh96 6th Gear October 22, 2021 Share October 22, 2021 I don't see anything wrong with that. Maximizing profit is normal for any business, if they want to survive. If want to blame, I can only say blame the buyers lor. When $8K plus you don't buy but choose to wait, now $9.8K LL have want to buy? 5 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
awhtc 6th Gear October 22, 2021 Share October 22, 2021 The converse is true. If COE drops, used car sellers will also have to lower their car prices to make them attractive. It is just market forces at work. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitvip Supersonic October 22, 2021 Share October 22, 2021 Another option is to look for cars that have + or - one year COE left. The depreciation could be lower, but, you have to change car frequently. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamesc Hypersonic October 22, 2021 Share October 22, 2021 What job TS want to do need car? PHV driver? Anyway I support TS 100% Oil price goes up and the power company increase their electricity prices. Car is a want, electricity is a necessity. So this cartoon and not human one.
