Liping24cn Clutched August 11, 2012 Share August 11, 2012 (edited) LTA will likely to adjust the COE system before 2016 erection. No need to worry too much now about high COE. It's not sustainable, And world economics cycles will cause the COE to be relatively 'affordable' sometime in future. Just time it well and change car for another 10years bliss. If motorcycle COE is $1 I don't mind to buy a nice kup-kia to ride in future. Who knows what policy will change in future when GPS IU is implemented. More road usage based charges? Zero ARF? New young PM with different ideas from the current PM and MM? The future not us to see....que sera sere. Edited August 11, 2012 by Liping24cn Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kangadrool Supersonic August 11, 2012 Share August 11, 2012 There's another alternative, 3-wheel scooter. Basically, you pay the price of bike COE, you get an extra wheel. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nlatio Turbocharged August 11, 2012 Share August 11, 2012 (edited) I opt for Bike... not Motor Bike... but Bicycle..... With the price one pay just for the paper, can get 1 whole platoon of bicycle on the road.... not those 2K Npark type of course... Paper COE cost 60,000 aka aka bike cost $1,000 Can buy 60 bike Half year change 1 time, can change for 30 years.... Cheapo cheapo bike $100 Can buy 600... 1 month change 1 time, can change for 50 years... Edited August 11, 2012 by Nlatio Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skunk Clutched August 11, 2012 Share August 11, 2012 I'll just renew my car's COE. Even at $120K, it's just $1K per month for the next 10 years. Based on the average person's salary (I'm very average hehe) it might be at most 20% of salary. Why not. Even an average dude like me thinks this way, no wonder COE keeps going up lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie1982 Neutral Newbie August 11, 2012 Share August 11, 2012 i got both a bike and a car but i think the COE for bike if based on actual usage of our roads, then i think it is NOT fair to car user because the bike uses about the similar road space when on the move hence, i think the COE for bike (leisure use and NOT for work) is really dirt cheap further more, accidents in SG is considerably less than in Malaysia because there are just too many cameras and not forgetting STMP reporting Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
