How to Appeal to Extend 5year COE

[Jamesc]

This way everyone will get their calculators out

BUT only the people that really love their car

will renew!

No one will take anyone to court

and all those that "love" their cars

when they see how ex to renew

will suddenly love their car 

as much as I love my MIL.

[Tohto]

I don't think thereis even a chance.

If not those only extend COE for 5 yrs when it was super high.

On the 4th year COE is very low everyone want to renew ago, LTA won't be lugi on this.

[Jamesc]

Cut the BS

Show people the penalty

and if they are sincere they will renew.

I say this because got a lot of great cars

the previous owner not erroneously

but foolishly renew only 5 years.

I see these cars that will die

I also want to cry.

[Jamesc]

People renew a V8 just 5 years COE?

What a prick! How many V8 are there built in the whole world?

Honestly I rather hear a V8 engine revving

than my MIL talking.

Its by far a sweeter sound.

There is no good reason why renewing 5 years subjects a car to mandatory deregistration while 10 years does not. By renewing COE both cars have lost their PARF just the same. 

Don't know which scholar in LTA thought up such a contrived condition. You allow people to pay road tax in 6 months and 12 months also.

However, the conditions are clearly stated and you knew that going in and buying the car cheap so you can try your luck to appeal but you are better off enjoying its remaining COE and exporting it after that.

I think the premise is that the 5 year "top up" would be based on the PQP at the 10th year , and not the prevailing COE PQP of the 14th year.

I have a solution for this.

Let anyone that has a 5 year COE renew but pay a penalty.

The penalty is pay the 5 year COE again but don't get another 5 years

or pay 5 years of today's COE whichever is the higher but also don't get another 5 years free

and also have to pay another 10 years COE at today's prices or the COE 5 years ago whichever is the higher but get the 10 years COE.

Everybody's a winner.

Export the car to MY to yourself.

And then import the car back to SG.

Do all the paperwork to import back the same car to SG

and make it all legal.

Simple.

Yeah i did think about that route. But its so tedious n wont be cheap. I will prob try to export to a off shore buyer. Tks

How much do you really love the V8?

If thinking about all the hassle

and the answer is - not so much

then don't bother lah.

Just curious.. How did the previous owner erroneously renewed the COE for 5-years instead of 10-years when he paid half the PQP price then? 

Hi i duno bro thats what the agent told me when he sold me the car. At that time i did not think i would want to keep the car. It was already 12 years old and yeah, the 5 year COE was priced in.

I kinda expected the GT to fall apart but after about 19 months she is doing great and i drive it daily to work. Only the air con compressor failed and that was under seller warranty.

I would never have been able to afford a car like that under normal circumstances. Ah well.....

[Jamesc]

I love you is free to say.

If people really love then

show me the money!

[Jamesc]

Be happy you had 5 years use of a nice car

and not sad you lost 10 years use of the car.

Sleep better tonight.

Yeah i agree with u. And forcing us to scrap a perfectly good, albeit old, car is very environmentally unfriendly.

Its obvious all this crap about emmissions tax to go green is just a convenient excuse by PAP to suck more money from us.

[Jamesc]

I really hope they allow 5 year COE to be renewed

with the very stiff penalty.

This way we get rid of the opportunist who see COE has dropped and want to make a quick buck

and preserving some really classic cars that they don't built anymore.

 

[Jamesc]

I am very sad to see some nice W124 on last 5 years COEs.

Bye bye legend.

Hi  I don't know the outcome  but I don't think he won the case.  I feel for you. But it is unlikely that LTA will lose the case because they cannot afford to set precedents regardless of the justification, otherwise they will have to deal with more appeals and court casese in future . It is why I renewed mine for 10 years so that I have more options from time to time.

Actually they should allow it by paying more. Much more. Haha

must follow thru with the saying “what’s wrong to earn more!”

I remember there was one case who took the LTA to court but I do not know the outcome.

Mirth? Laughed at by the judge? What a joke of a guy. 😂
