[Lotr8445r]

Next week is my 5th bid... i booked the car(kia k3 ex) when coe at 36k, didnt top up for G.... what are my chances? =(

Do u think it is possible to be less than 40k for next few bidding? Use that to made yr decision

Between your booking when the COE was $36K and current $47K, there is a price difference of $11K.

 

Unless your model is a premium marque with a huge margin buffer, chances don't look that great.

Any ideal how much usually they AD top up? My guess is 6k. If last bid drop to 42k, i may still stand a chance... lol

Eh Mel... How is what you have mentioned helpful to the topic of whether one should top up for guaranteed COE lei?

 

I say, mai pay - if it is yours then it is yours. 勉强是不会得到幸福的！

虽然不会幸福但会很很痛苦。no car no women.

No one can know the answer unless they claim to be a renowned fortunte teller. The most can only predict.

 

Trust yourself and follow yr own decision. Dont made the same mistake like me and regret for life by listening to someone prediction here.

You were clever and lucky to catch the window period at $36K but did not secure it (guarantee COE) ..... might be wanted to save (greed) more $. Apparently you had miscalculated that move. Based on your need, pocket and instinct to make your decision now ........ maybe lucky again

The answer to TS 'should I top up to secure GTD COE? is, how important in securing that COE is to him. Look like it is going to stay or slightly higher in the next coming few bids. So, it is all about how much he is willing to pay.

You see the train like that

How not to Top up coe?

[drivers]

Have to top up base on current supply and demand if you want secure the COE.

When i buy my car 1 bid end of story. No need to drag and drag, stressful.

 C&C top up abit for my COE. :)

what has changed?

when one booked the car during the $36k period, it was smart and money saving opportunity to get a cheaper car.

 

Now if one were to top up, then there is no difference to buying the car at anytime before/after the $36k period. Meaning most car buyers are just as well buying at any other time.

 

My opinion, it is Stupid to fall for the top-up suggestion, as it will make the car price same as any other normal days.

 

Please remember all the past COE crash was due to the expiry of the failed 6bids where most didnt want tp Top-up.

 

If one is smart (assuming most buyers did not top-up), you can self-bid on the sixth bids onwards, hoping to catch the 'crash' price for a cheap COE.

Agree, top up for what? Go lta website to check on the profit margins for dealers to have an idea what's the buffer.

 

If they sell you at a price that gives them 2k to 3k profit margin then forget it cause you will never get the car. It's just a bait for them to get you to sign and then psycho you into topping up.

yes, totally agree with you.

For those who want to buy car, could check in the LTA website for the car pricelist and find out what the profit margin the dealer make from you. It shows average their profit around 20-30K when the COE is 36K. (except for toyota wish, i am quite surprised they only earn 10K). So once the COE up from 36K to 47K, dealer still earns something from you without paying more for G COE. Whenever the COE skyrocket high, dealer to match to keep their profit margin by increasing the car price. But at the end of the day, it goes back to all buyers, perhaps have extra money to spend, you can just opt for G COE. It is just merely a choice.
