So_nice 6th Gear November 12, 2014 Share November 12, 2014 If they control the amount of coe released then nothing is changed. Those deregistered doesn't mean they are not looking for another car in the new car market 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forte3737 5th Gear November 12, 2014 Share November 12, 2014 I think i can no longer wait. have to buy the almera asap 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tohto Hypersonic November 12, 2014 Share November 12, 2014 I think i can no longer wait. have to buy the almera asap I think there are still much better car than almera with a few more $K. The almera interior quality is too plastic and equipment level is also very low. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
frenchfly 5th Gear November 12, 2014 Share November 12, 2014 Unless the owner scrap the car and dont use the money to buy new cars then those praying for coe to fall every nite will get their cheap coe at their dream price....last heard they hoping 20k How pigs died....cos they were book smart but street dumb 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soya Supersonic November 12, 2014 Share November 12, 2014 Good effort by TS. But no need to over-analyse. The scholars hv prob studied the projections & predicted price levels. LTA will prob claw back the COEs and let COE hover around $45-50k. A 'rolla will be around $100k and that's considered 'affordable' to keep the electorate happy while not killing the golden goose to fund all the social freebies. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tohto Hypersonic November 12, 2014 Share November 12, 2014 I agree. Also considering elantra. Not into fancy gadgets, more into a reliable engine Not talking about fancy gadgets. But safety equipment like ESP, traction control and more airbag is always important. Just from last weekend ST, from next onwards, all car in Europe must equiped with ESP. Which currently most B & B car here are lacking. OK, don't want to OT too much on TS thread. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
yo2020 6th Gear November 12, 2014 Author Share November 12, 2014 (edited) this is the cars' age at the end of every month (so far this year), pay attention to the last row. what this means is that we are walking into a tsunami of COE Quota where there shall be 5000+ dereg every month pretty soon!! as a comparison, there were 2639, 3187 n 3513 dereg in last Aug, last Sep n last month, respectively. at the peak of tsunami, this figure may be hitting 10,000 dereg a month.

yo2020 6th Gear November 12, 2014 Author Share November 12, 2014 of course with more COE Quota is also likely not enough for all buyers, but having more quota will likely reduce the buyer's competition for each quota.this in turn, hopefully, shall bring the COE Premium down.in other words, i believe COE Premium shld b lower comparing "2 buyers fighting for 1 COE" scenario n "5 buyers fighting for 1 COE" scenario. n with the max 50-60% loan rule, hopefully, will keep certain groups of potential buyers away. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airbag is not even mandatory over here, meaning lower OMV, what more ABS or ESP, so that the car buyer can bid more for the COE with the savings from OMV and related! Garmen first before safety. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spring Moderator November 12, 2014 Share November 12, 2014 I agree. Also considering elantra. Not into fancy gadgets, more into a reliable engine Actually Kia K3 is also quite impressive, you can consider also but obviously more pricey compared to Almera but not up to Jap car price 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
So_nice 6th Gear November 12, 2014 Share November 12, 2014 1 mth 10000 deregistered also depends on lta wanna release how many. But of course would be nice to see it drop. 40k would be nice. Haha Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forte3737 5th Gear November 12, 2014 Share November 12, 2014 What yo2020 dun understand is that regardless of number of dereg,demand is always more than supply. Coe will still be around 65 to 70k. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detach8 5th Gear November 12, 2014 Share November 12, 2014 (edited) Nice work yo2020. Appreciate it. I think what will happen is that we'll see a lot of dereg next year, and possibly quite a fair bit of renewals and we will start to see these COE cars appear on the market for resale. I'm also considering renewing parent's 2005 Volvo V50 because I think it is cheaper to renew than to buy any car now. The car is a workhorse, and our family loves it. I checked out a Honda Stream RSZ, and I didn't quite like it. Of course the 1.8L engine cannot compare to the 2.4L in the Volvo, but even the way it handles, the sound insulation, the way it absorbs bumps on the road, the interior quality is no where near the coming 10 year old Volvo. It has been relatively trouble free ownership for us and the OMV is not very high, so I feel it's worth a renewal. I'm not surprised many owners or dealers renew the conti cars. There's some nice E46 BMWs around, and I think those should get renewed. Very wasted if they don't. That said, I also feel that COE will hover around 50K. 40K at minimum.

Detach8 5th Gear November 12, 2014 Share November 12, 2014 If parf is high,no point renew unless you love it How high is high? Even if my PARF is 60K, I will still renew. I forgo 30K, then buy 70K COE = 100K. Now can barely buy a Vios. ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
