Nus24 Neutral Newbie May 14, 2009 Share May 14, 2009 Looks bad in Japan or those countries with car factories. But in Singapore case, its a car buying country. Amazingly, the Jap cars still can increase in prices (example new Mazda3) due to OMV increase. Other countries I believe may have Lelong car sales, with cheaper price, to move the car stocks and entice more buyers. I read news say China and UK got special rebate $$$ to those people who is willing to scape their old cars and buy new cars. But how come these same cheaper cars NEVER come to Singapore? Why aren't the cheaper offers given to the AD by the car manufacturer? Or the least the PI should be able to get cheaper OMV cars into Singpaore, thru their japanese/uk agents....but it never really happened! WHY WHY WHY?

Now then you know. when economy is really bad, a lot of things here still keep going up and up. Even it is against the global trend, they will still have "valid" reason to "justify" this. This is the unique thing here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drive_carcar Clutched May 14, 2009 Share May 14, 2009 Basically people are still getting by for now. So there will be pockets of people who still can afford to buy cars and condos, pick up some bargains during such times. Is it really that bad? I'll say even with the stock market crashed, and then recent rally, I have friends who are quietly making a killing. It is in voletile times like that, that good gamblers thrives.
