After Chinese New Year period will be the best time to buy! Sales will drop and become lacklustre. Now people are buying because year end bonus is coming, COE is low, and also they can impress their relatives during Christmas and CNY home visits. |

D in rush 2 buy car, merely the syndrome of u hv I must hv, near to speculaton as well. Yes, many said next COE will go high, but if general buying capability is low, low sales liao. Next few COE bidding, how? Go higher? Few mths later, clearing stock action will be triggered, then what will be the bargain? Maths A, B, C loh. |

Changing a quite new car to a new car is always losing money regardless of COE amount, remember this. Don't forget to factor in cash-back, interest etc. Cars are quite reliable nowadays. They usually don't give problems for <10yr car, except for usual wear-tear problems which we must maintain. Save up the money to buy equity now!! |

Scotty, with COE px at this low level, you might as well get a new car 'cos 1-yr-old car may have 'faults' covered up which need expert eyes to detect. Unless you could get a good bargain for the used car, forget about it. The px of used cars must drop from now! The Used Car Dealers need cash fast to stay afloat as Banks become more and more choosy who to lend! Annual Depreciation of cars depends on Models and Made. Luxury cars depreciate more than 'common' cars. Conti cars depreciate more than Jappy. The current COE situation is a good example of supply and demand! Cheers! |

I think the car sellers are averaging the cost to make profit thus next round of selling price is an average of what has been sold earlier. You will never get the complete $ 2 benefits say for example car price at $ 55K COE package at $ 5K. Base on last COE price of $ 10K suppose you get a saving of about $ 10K when COE down to $ 2 but indeed, you only get back about $ 5K, so your final price is $ 50K that is what they are selling now for $ 50K to average their cost. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

when COE Cat A was around $12-16k , the cost of a populated 1.6 Jan car is about $50 to 54K. When the COE Cat A is now at $2/- , the cost of the same car is about $50k. It does not drop proportional to the amt drop in COE. So who gain |

OK, if now u got COE with $2, your new car yrly depreciation is around just below 10%. As when reaching the 10th yr, u ought to scrape d car as no one will buy it. AK opine that at this moment, dun buy second hand car, till after CNY or even mid 09, by then everything dirt cheap, ie houses, transport utilities, etc.

Confirmed car prices will drop this weekend. But more than that, it's an indication that the economy is in for a rough time....

The last time the COE price plunged in the small car category was in 2001 when it went down to S$101. And the COE price for big cars was a fluke S$50 in 1997. http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/singaporelocalnews/view/390840/1/.html
