Those who bought atas cars when COE was low, when come to change car, or must change car time, with high COE, and don't want to pay more, option quite limited.

My side got one GLE downgraded to a forester, a S class downgraded to a E class.

 

S class to a E class still not so bad as compared to GLE to forester and 5 series to atto 3. Lol.

Actually I have a slightly different take on people who "downgraded" from atas car to say a good EV. 

It used to be that if one wants a good driving, 50/50 weight distributed, RWD car yet family car, he is pretty limited to, say, 3 series or X3 or some german makes.

Now these premium brand ICE seems exorbitant to me when we can have some EV offering the same (Tesla model X and Y and even MG4) at much cheaper price, with much more features and huge torque and better 0-100kmh timing.

I don't really feel it is a downgrade. I felt more like carrot when I look the ICE prices (Yes, I still like ICE car but not their price!). Maybe just me. 😁

Actually ICE or EV, the price all like carrot. EV car price also not say cheap hor. Like the atto 3.

But they still owned a car and hold on to one COE.  

Cannot compare with those who downgrade to BMW (Bus, MRT or Walk)

Actually when I switched to EV, my habits changes and I am getting much healthier 

Use to drive to market or convenient shops within 700 meters away but now I walk there. 

Don't want to waste kWh just by driving a short distance. 

Don't feel the pinch when driving ICE.

Petrol kiosks everywhere. Any brands also can top-up and only spend about 10 minutes. 

EV charging not everywhere have yet and if charging, have to wait hours if one use 7.4 KW charger (most common in HDB MSCP).

Many car owners when they switch from old to new, they do not let go or scrap their old car first before getting the new. This means for every new car bought with a trade in, a COE is consumed in advance before the current/old car is being scraped or exported. I personally haven't know of any colleagues, relatives or friends who has gone 1 day without car since driving. The cut n fill mitigated this quite a bit. Plus the shift of models from cat B to cat A...

How to get overtrade if they scrap their old car first?

Also must see hor. If S class to a A class, then also quite a big downgrade even still a mersaylee. For some people even downgrade to a C class also cannot take it if you were in S class level.
