Eforce Neutral Newbie March 16, 2013 Share March 16, 2013 My guess is that because of the drop in cat b this Round... Everyone will flock to buy a cat b car... People in cat b is generally cash rich hence not much affected by the loan restriction rules.. So cat b should go up to around $65k Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will inevitably bring the COE for Cat A lower in the next round. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, which dealers will want to give high prices for trade in? You think all rich people can bear to see the depreciation on their current cars realised?

Only those who have a paid up car now, can swop it for a new car with top up +loan. COE is destined to drop below $40k for CatA. Pent up demand will be shortlived. As some mentioned, here's where you see who is naked when the tide falls. Haha totally agree. Those with cars on loan like my fellow co-workers can't get a new car. Everyday they talk about how the system favors the rich. I have told them time and again in a very diplomatic manner to "suck it and work harder". The irony of it all is that while they moan and groan about the new measures, it is not as if they could afford the monthly installments of brand new cars even if the 10 year loan was available. If you can't afford a new car, get one within your means. There are lots of people living from hand to mouth in Singapore and yet have cars. These are the people who are the ones who cannot afford to put 40% downpayment on their cars. I may not be able to afford a new BMW, but hey I got one that's within the amount of cash I have. I so love driving my coupe to work and parking it next to their lancer ex and axio. HAHA!!!

A lot of people who are stuck with their cars they paid an inflated price for are probably rationalizing(telling themselves white lies) their purchase by consoling themselves saying "at least i got my car before the new rules came in" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
