Chrtstriker 1st Gear July 2, 2015 Share July 2, 2015 There is one school of thought that I am not sure to believe or not..... Everybody is talking abt elections that will bring good tidings to car owners...... We do know that the majority of population (those able to vote) do not drive and own a car........ Will the government get the most votes by lowering down the COEs for unhappy citizens....? ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wt_know Supersonic July 3, 2015 Share July 3, 2015 (edited) COE cycles of boom and bust when is the supply of 100k coe per annum return? waiting .... waiting ... waiting .... Since its inception in 1990, the vehicle quota system has followed a 10-year peak-and-trough cycle, where the annual supply of certificates of entitlement (COEs) could vary from 20,000 to 100,000.

Limwsv 5th Gear July 3, 2015 Share July 3, 2015 COE cycles of boom and bust when is the supply of 100k coe per annum return? waiting .... waiting ... waiting .... Never... never ... sings the Bulls. We will Operation Cold Storage the next day.... We will tied Adam Smith's invisible hands .... The opposition is APHTEC'ed until they will not whimper about COE in the next election..... Everyone can give up hopes of car prices falling and renew their COEs for another five ten years... MTA1 and MTA2 is very unhappy, and LTA is quaking in their boots... So, next year, quota is back to 300 Cat A COE per auction! "To some horrible hip-hop tune" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Civic6228 6th Gear July 3, 2015 Share July 3, 2015 COE cycles of boom and bust when is the supply of 100k coe per annum return? waiting .... waiting ... waiting .... This is the root cause isn't it ? If COE is to serve it's purpose to control car population and not to generate revenue, this cycle should be even out. Price of COE is down to basic economics ... supply and demand .... 20,000 vs 100,000 depending on the curve of supply ... what a joke. Then there was also a policy to encourage/allow more people to realise their aspiration for car ownership with weekend cars and more COE allocation. I cant defend the gahment for the COE policy ... it sucks. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damienic 5th Gear July 3, 2015 Share July 3, 2015 I think COE for sure will drop but my gutfeel is that the drop will not be sizeable. Possibly at most the rock bottom will be hovering at around 15-20% lower than current... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

From 50k++ drop by 7 to 8k possible. Drop to 7 to 8k, you must be trolling me. Are you Sabbie? I still remember him, somehow you reminds me of him.

Ihave3Ballz 2nd Gear September 21, 2015 Share September 21, 2015 (edited) The current quota being released for cat a and b is comparable to the numbers released during years 2008-2010. During 2009 there was a short recession and prices dipped to like $2k. If you have the exact same ingredients, it is very possible for coe to dip below 10k. Now coe still being hammered by all those people waiting on the sidelines. When this backlog has been cleared up, then you will see even more dips. But 10k/- is only achievable if the economy gets bleak. Also don't forget not everyone can afford to pay the downpayment now.
