Oh, sorry as I am noob about the ARF thingy, but I thought most cars have <$40k paper value after 10 years. My current Toyota 2.0l MPV only has $14k paper value. And this $40k rebate is attractive cos it is upfront discount, making car more affordable, lesser loan requirements, lesser interest and monthly installment. With the $40k rebate, the BYD M6 price is more attractive and affordable for many buyers. i too had been expecting COE to drop with increased quota. But….

Can be private or hire whenever you wish. You don't even need to put label if you don't intend to do hire at all. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NO COE = No Sales which company will risk that? so they just bid first whether there is already a buyer or not.

That is but just one of the many fundamental flaws in COE system Yup, in our digital world and with Singpass, bidding by individual buyers instead of dealers can be easily done. What is wrong with collecting more money (read: taxes)? With PHV, the system is lagi broken. SG is perhaps the only place whereby some people become PHV drivers so that they can own a car. 1 1 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

With ppl who own cars but have low annual mileage, these ppl don't contribute to the national coffers. That's the purpose of Car Lite. 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
