therock Supersonic October 31, 2016 Share October 31, 2016 Off track abit, I have been seeing alot of new cars (mostly b&b models) with LCR plate holders on the road lately. May I ask if this LCR rental is related to any AD or those uber/grab linked? Thanks for enlightening ! Yes bro, LCR or Lion City Rental is the front for Grab and their rental / car hire operations in SG. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanyingjie 1st Gear October 31, 2016 Share October 31, 2016 Off track abit, I have been seeing alot of new cars (mostly b&b models) with LCR plate holders on the road lately. May I ask if this LCR rental is related to any AD or those uber/grab linked? Thanks for enlightening ! Yes they are uber or GC linked. They must commit at least 40trip jobs per week else will be levied with extra 15% rental fees.But ofcoz everything got loopholes.. can ask family members or friends to call for jobs and accept it.. it's just an transection.

Micb 5th Gear October 31, 2016 Share October 31, 2016 Yes bro, LCR or Lion City Rental is the front for Grab and their rental / car hire operations in SG. Thanks for the clarification ! This private cab business really getting so popular now, so many LCR plated new cars on the road. Those traditional taxis must be feeling the heat man.... No wonder the COE value remains high.

merc280v6 6th Gear October 31, 2016 Share October 31, 2016 Just a couple of data point to help your understanding. Car population vs rental car population 2014 - 600k private cars, 19k rental cars 2016 - 558k private cars, 45k rental cars the delta is 42K private cars reduction, and 26K rental car increase. I presume "car population" includes cars held by used car dealers awaiting sales.If that is the case, there was a net REDUCTION of 16k, re the total number of cars on SG roads - between 2014 and 2016. Well done LTA! That's a valiant attempt in reducing overall car population, after the debacle early last decade, when one too many new COEs were 'minted' to allow more people to own cars (for crying out loud) !! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

inlinesix Supersonic October 31, 2016 Share October 31, 2016 Cause it is not a real car show. It is just pasar malam. The last car show i attended, i caught a few XMM posing for me to take photo. This time, either low budget or no tiko to take photo. Really disappointing after 9 pages. No a single photo of XMM. I'm looking at the B&B cars like Elantra, Mazda 3 and Qashqai. I'm not in a hurry, just that my office shifted and i thought owning a car now makes more sense. Used to take 40 mins to travel to work, now perhaps an hour. For 20 mins more, you need a car? Really hor mia. The upcoming Coe bidding will be interesting. 1. 3 week bidding period 2. After car show 3. 1st bidding after new quota cut Unless economic is really tank, COE price will only go up Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presea 2nd Gear November 2, 2016 Share November 2, 2016 Not sure if the VW salesman smoke me but he claim they sold 60cars on Sat. Sharan alone accounted for 15units! Anyway, there were quite a few $99.9k cars ie Audi A1, Golf 1.2 n Focus saloon which I thought was a steal at that price with OMV at $19k+ with a CEVS rebate of $5k meaning a margin of $10k only. VW aside, I tend to have the same conclusion as most other bros here that I didn't see much actual signings concluded. For VW....the figures might be true. We bought a Sharan too ...but at Leng Kee. Same "deal" as expo. The "base" model was priced lower than I had ever seen... ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
