a new ride is always exciting hor

my ride not here yet i already kenna poison to buy the short TT style antenna! haha

[East Mercy]

Just got my COE at $30,400!

Exceed 30K. I don't think it's a good time to buy cars now.

just curious, why you choose to bid coe separately instead of package inclusive coe at this time ? since the last COE bidding is on the up scale ? sorry, maybe I am ignorant, i thought we only take this action when coe is on the weak side ?

some of the brands are giving upto $28k of coe rebates ? not sure if still valid last week...

[spicyball]

A bit sad. Should have bought earlier and save 10K.

Early bird gets the worms.

I would advise buyers to wait till the market cools down if you can afford to be without a new car until the end of the year.

Do you think i will really cool down??..i am a bit gan jiong over the soaring COE prices and is even urging my parents to make an early order for the car although i haven got my license yet . Hai, really hope the market will cool down a bit...

The dealer does not offer COE package or guaranteed COE. If I am not wrong, Mazda is also practicing this.

spicyball,

Definitely only going to get hotter because a lot of cars are on 3-4 months waiting list so there will be a constant demand for COE to register these cars as they get delivered. When COE reaches >$40K, like 5 years ago, it will come down.

planetg & weisoon,

Vehicle is not even in Singapore yet. Will have to wait a month more. Now waiting for license plate.

Interesting ! I thought they replace corolla with Altis !! But the Fielder looks like a toyota Wish ... and the new corolla also have very minimal outlook changes ..

The COE will keep going up steadily. When I got mine 7 months ago, paid 23K for open cat.

Tanzy, 30K is reasonable. Think if economy does well, may ease off only at 40K. Have you chosen number and colour?

30K is not reasonable to me! It's a bloody piece of paper!

The PhD that came up with the idea of COE is my mother's friend. He drives a rotten old Benz.

COE will most likely hit 40K before the end of the year. After that, we can start bidding for $1.00 COE again!

Waiting for license plate bidding results. Choice of colour was between metallic blue and normal white, so I took blue.

No wonder your mother's friend drive a rotten old benz becasue he can't believe he got to pay 30K more to buy one piece of freaking paper in order to buy a new car

No heartache for him even if someone scratches his car or smash the glass.
