Davidklt 6th Gear October 1, 2023 Share October 1, 2023 On 10/1/2023 at 1:02 AM, Weenemone said: Unless the government amends the policy of allowing PHV companies to participate in COE bidding with the public, I highly doubt the price will drop much. The demand still outweighs the supply heavily. There is a lot of pent up demand from buyers who are currently priced out at the current price rate so highly unlikely that prices will fall too much. Small sample size but many people I know are waiting for the quota increase in 25/26 to buy and are using car sharing/PHV to tide by. If every man on the street is thinking the same, it's bound to be a bloodbath then as well. I doubt the quota would increase...remember the gov's "vision" to be a car-lite country? ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meanmachine 6th Gear October 1, 2023 Share October 1, 2023 Many of us are buying good used car instead go new, and we are doing our duty not to bid ... needless to say who was behind the increase ? Sillyporeans need not be KiaSi & KiaSu Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

One consideration is FC of the existing ride even though everything is working well. Savings in petrol each month will be upwards of $200… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of like a self justification or consolation. Existing ride is still in tip top condition but traded to balance out the depreciation. Can only look forward… 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
taracarroll Neutral Newbie December 1, 2023 Share December 1, 2023 Why we go for the Petrol or Diesel Version - We need to go for EV Cars, In starting the buying cost of an EV Car is higher if we compare it to a Petrol and Diesel car but understand that in the long run, With a one-time investment, you can save yourselves from petrol or diesel prices. Right now there are various EV charging station that are also open so, No need to worry we can go for miles without any worry as we have EV station that provides charging facilities as well as battery swapping facilities. Buying a used car is not a good option if one sells their car after using 6 to 8 years. As we know there are various scrap policies of the government, So hardly we can use those cars for 2 to 3 years only, which finally go to waste. To protect our environment we need to follow the scrap policy also. EV Car is my top priority if i am planning to buy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebestbees 1st Gear December 1, 2023 Share December 1, 2023 @taracarroll so when are you planning to buy? EV’s insurance premium is crazy, likewise for the roadtax. And of course the range anxiety, maybe you can start the ball rolling by buying first. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's say for you as EV owner. I assume distance to KL needs 1 complete charge 1 way right? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
