Can advise if i should convert my car to Weekend Car?

[Rolanto]

Im driving a Honda Fit 2008 now. Bought last year May.

Due to my change of job, im now working at raffles place which has insane carpark rate, therefore i'm taking train to work daily and seldom drives.

 

If i were to change my car to weekend car, how will the rebate will be like? (what happen to the additional 17k)??

 

Need some advise pls

Thanks

iirc, you can get back up to $1100 every 6 mths after you convert over to OPC.

No more talk about the 17K

[Picanto]

and you only need to pay $70 road tax.

do the traffic jam a favour and convert

[Contax]

from my point of view , keep it as it is if the $1100 is for every 6 month .

At least you can still drive it anytime you need to use it.

 

If I'm not wrong , you can't convert back to norm plate after you have done with the conversion.... correct me if I'm wrong.

Can convert back and forth regardless number of times, as long as u pay admin fee $100 each time and go through the hassle of changing coloured number plate.

$1100 is the maximum rebates, but so far no news on how to calculate the exact amount

can consider "park and ride"?

 

a few of my friends doing that.... but of course must be convenient for you

Hehe.. Its funny pple with normal plate wanted to change opc, and theres some

opc wanted to change to normal plate.

weekend car very troublesome leh..

my friend converted then within 1 week, convert back.

 

 

can also consider season parking if you're ok with it.

 

but heard from friend very hard to get also.

have to wait for someone to give up their lot then the next person take over or something like that.

 

even when he get his lot he still have to walk for like 15mins to reach his building.

season parking is expensive in the cbd area. unless TS is earning 5k per mth, i think better convert

[Maroon5]

there are season parking for less than 200 per mth..and if u r working near the shenton way side, u can park at the open air at prince edward exit there. you will not even kena the ERP parking there.

Funny meh? People needs do change, same with their lifestyle.

Bottom line to me is if you did not buy the car in OPC with 17k rebate initially its not really worth changing to normal plate or back to OPC again later unless you are really short of funds and want to save the extra bucks on road tax (not worth for low cc must be at least 1600cc cars to fully utilize rebate)

heard its at least $300 per mth for the season parking there. unless drawing high pay, if not, then really bo hua

Precisely.... I would recommend to change to OPC. The jam is bad at CTE, the season parking is expensive. the ERP does not make it any better.

 

I will buy an OPC too.
