COE Bidding – March 2023

[Jamesc]

jamesc also did not bid aggressively for COE but always got the COE for his customers.

jamesc cars are also priced affordably for people that can afford.

Boom/bust cycle... when COE quota come up and price comes down again... these companies all will be saddle with high depre "asset" and low demand. I genuinely hope they go bust coz they fuel the high COE for short term gain

These tech companies have lots of investors money to burn, no way they will.go bust. Just see what happen to LCR, they used to have a lot of high COE cars but end up they still happy pun pee pee.

Ya no money just have to wake up earlier to beat the crowd so can grab a seat in the bus 😂 

Nowadays even wake up early also no means can get a seat in the bus/MRT. Our public transport no matter what time also crowded now.

Though i have a car, i take MRT to work. Am the west end guy and work in central. To have a smooth driving journey, i need to leave house at 645am. After 7, the traffic will be horrendous. Raining lagi worst. When i take train, I shut my house 'door' at 7.25am and open my office 'door' at 8.40am. Moreover before 7.45am, trip per cost is $1.50 niah. Save me all the stress and frustration and still have time to beo 'eye candies' and "act knowledgeable reading 154 news". 🙂

Good for you. Not to mention the exercise from walking. If you are middle aged like me, it’s very beneficial to reduce your dependence on your car. Save money, work your heart and burn calories. I seldom drive if I go into CBD. Train is almost always faster and of course much cheaper

Yap. My kids are grown up. Car dependency is at minimal. Daughter started working and son is in poly Y2. Car is usually for dinner and weekend errands.

Depend on how each individual see it. Some people don't mind to stuck in horrendous traffic cause they are still having their own space inside their car, rather than packed with other people in public transport. But some people find it stressful and frustration to drive in a horrendous traffic and don't mind taking public transport.

Based on this, phv only like less than 10% of total car population in Singapore?

But then with quotas so low, every bid matters also.  Cos the number of bids exceed the quota by a bit (absolute numbers) also.

4% of total car population.

15% of new car registered in 2022 is PHV.

Proportionally, it had increased by 0.5%
