With KMC giving discount of $5.3K after raising the price of the Elantra by 8K the week after the 25K COE, looks like demand is not strong and COE prices will be maintained at current level.

I still believe COE has more downside potential than upside. Many ppl are stuck with their used cars which they bought over the past few years. I have heard terrible trade in value for merely 3 yrs old cars. Unless one is willing to part their money like that, otherwise most will just have to hold on to their existing cars.

The problem now is not COE Up or Down.  The bigger problem is that many car is still priced as if COE is 50K lor .....

 

It is such a terrible times to buy car lor ......

The current situation is that people are still not used to cars slapped with 10K to 20K of VES tax, hence, car prices do appear high even with lower COE price. Indeed, the prices of these cars are similar to when COE was 40K to 50K range.

VES is extra penalty paid  [knife]

 

Nothing to do with your Parf Rebate  [rolleyes]

About there but still not there.

 

Example

 

10 MPV brands. 6 kenna 10K VES while 4 in the neutral band.

 

That 4 brands of MPV will pegged as if it is in the 10K band.  Hence, profited the 10K. No competition ma.

 

Good example, Carens I bought 103.  Now 101.  But my COE is 50K lor.

 

 

So the strategy would be to pick the type of Car where everybody is in the same band. Difficult.

 

- Low CC, Saloon or Tiny Saloon lor ?? Not sure.

 

 

For us who have already bought a car, if there is planned to sell then expect a big price distortion lor.  Total loss claim also difficult to close case due to distortion.

 

Best is drive the full 10 years lor. Or else, prepare for a big loss for changing car.

Is it bcos they are subjected to VES surcharge? I realise those neutral ones are generally cheaper now than when COE was at 50k.

You are right that some ADs are profiteering from the imperfect market situation by pricing their VES B cars close to those VES C cars especially if these cars are high in demand. Consumers must  educate themselves when buying cars in Singapore. If not, the ADs will continue to take advantage of the market imperfection to maximize profits.

 

About there but still not there.
