Chngee Clutched September 30, 2009 Share September 30, 2009 1. Get your new car right away MOST dealers have an 'immediate delivery' deal, which means they will use an Open Category COE, rather than a COE from the car's rightful category. This means that if there's a car available in your choice of colour, you just sign on the dotted line and get it as soon as the documentation is done and the number plate is ready. The attraction: No need to wait. And since Open Category COEs are valid for only three months, dealers will sweeten the deal if the expiry date draws near for COEs they have in hand. The downside: You may collect less of a rebate when you scrap the car. This is because the 'leftover' value of an Open COE will not be based on its price, but on the price of the COE for the car's rightful category, if the latter is lower. For example, you use a $12,000 Open Category COE to buy a 1.6-litre car when the COE for 1.6-litre cars in the same tender is $5,000. If you scrap the car by the fifth year, you get back $2,500 in unused COE, not half the price of the Open Category COE. Offers: Practically every dealer has Open COEs for urgent registrations. The deals for cars packaged with an Open COE can be anywhere from among the priciest to the cheapest. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roh96 6th Gear September 30, 2009 Share September 30, 2009 I can't think of any plus point for Cat E. The minus point for Cat E is when upon scrap before COE expire, the rebate amount will be based on CAT E or CAT B whichever is lower at the point of time when the car is registered. Example if Cat E is 15k and Cat B is 13k at the point of purchase, the rebate will be based on Cat B value next time. This is based on what i know because my previous car was using Cat E.

7007 2nd Gear September 30, 2009 Share September 30, 2009 When I book my car, I stated in b&w no CAT E and one bid only...never know when the AD/PI will play you out.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altivo 3rd Gear September 30, 2009 Share September 30, 2009 Plus point would be that you would be able to collect your car at double quick time due to immediate registration using Cat E COE. Minus point like wat most bros pointed out would be that your COE rebate would be based on the actual category for your car and OFTEN, is lower than the price of CAT E. If the difference in price is not great, then go for CAT E if you're in a rush to get the car. My car is also CAT E and it's $13,301. CAT A at that time was $12,002. So difference wasn't that great and the SE was nice enough to absorb it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
