Buying 5-year COE cars, worth it? Make sense a not?

Hello seniors and Enciks

 

I have been looking at 2nd hand car dealer sites. I saw some are selling 5-year coe cars and it comes with 1-year official warranty and claimed that the engine has been refurbished. 

 

I am aware 5-year coe cars are non-renewable. But on the surface, it looks like a okay deal since you can drive it for 5 years? I could get a renewable car with 2.5 years left, at the same price.

 

Does it really make any sense to buy 5-year coe cars? What are the considerations? When it means 1-year official warranty, means I could go back to distro? Sounds like a gamble..

 

Any inputs are appreciated.

Quote you an example.

 

2006 Lancer with 5 year renewed COE is going at annual dep of almost $8K, with unknown history, and repair bills.

 

A brand new Lancer is going for a song at $8,300 annual dep, with 3 yr free servicing, 5 yr warranty and 10 yr engine warranty.

 

You do your sums and decide.

 

Or if you are on a tight budget, go for a brand new Perodua Axia (manual) at only $72,000. $$6,800 annual dep for a brand new car.
