COE Bidding – 2nd Round of April 2018

[13177]

After July, 1.2L type Cars will be cheaper due to neutral VES or 10K rebate 

 

Almost all other cars maybe kena 10K or 20K surcharge. Even COE down still need to pay the same price (80K to 100K for different B&B cars)

 

Want cheap must drive underpowered    ,  good for those who just need a decent transport, however, all other costs to own car remain same (parking, erp, fuel, interest, insurance etc) 

 

Garment win win even COE down.  VES no need to return also like COE if deregister.

How about 1.2L car with turbo?

[Evillusion]

ST predicts COE increase due to lower quota ....

been like that for a few month.......need those kancheong spides to commit and hold the price up! Since November they have reported price increase because of ves, lower quota but price still going down. Expect the unexpected.....

i mean Honda jazz/Fit 1.3 type cars 

 

Turbo = Power = VES 

 

Wondering why most of AD are still not much clear about final VES for their models or they do not want to disclose 

 

Buying the car in SG have so many attributes and emotions (Fear, Kiasu, emotional, Fun and the list goes on..... haha)

i think quite clear what.

 

Kah motor say only civic likely to go up 10k for the more B&B category

Borneo say all their models going up 10k

Hyundai at least for the elantra will be neutral still.

[Beehive3783]

From my understanding (for petrol cars only)

 

GDI engines most likely will incur VES penalty

forced induction engines also will incur VES penalty

 

Most traditional MPI engines will be neutral VES

 

I could be wrong though. Just a summary of what I read so far.

If Elantra remains Neutral then its sales will go up. its already their best selling Model

Last year also predict this year go up but it goes down instead.

somehow went back to robust discussion on VES scheme thread started by carbon82 - looks like VES scheme implementation will dilute any substantial coe decrease.  the simple equation is no longer coe drop = price drop. next few months will be interesting, needless to say. 

[Kucaracha]

Agree. COE is a good system and self bidding is the best and fairest. But that means less COE $$$ for LTA. The North South Expressway starting from Woodlands will have to terminate at Gambas . Need a lot more $$$ to run all the way to East Coast.

Haha no more expressway... Just connector .

Well, if purely read based on what is stated, they need more time to plan but commit to same completion date as originally planned, not bad already.

Better delay than build a tunnel that collapse.

Awaiting for it. Travelling to North certainly will be faster in future.

@Carbon82 , no new thread for May?

This NS-corridor was delayed due to mbs/jewel/mrt. Some of these major projects are completed, this year revive this economy pump? 

 

anw, May is the last month to book before VeS2.0 kicks in. June would be too late and likely a dead month for car buying, like last Dec..

True. Their prediction is based on demand estimates and supply quotas only, omitting other variables such as economic sentments, lesser new pte car drivers etc. 

 

The expected increase in VES is also another gimmick. It should actually "drive" car dealers to bring in better VES compliant models in the coming months and not to force consumers to buy "now". They tried it in last quarter 2017 and after that 2018 the COE dipped and some dealers have bring in models with better VES bands.

[Carbon82]

@Carbon82 , no new thread for May?

 

You buying new car?

 

Mai kan cheong lah, 1st bidding for May will only start next week, and LTA have not even release the quota details (for the up coming bidding exercise) yet, usual on the Friday before bidding start.

[Char]

Cow car zero VES .

[Songchi]

Any way to see which cars are in which new VES band starting July 2018?
