COE $82k. Still cheap?

[buttercarp]

They should have a separate 5 year COE and charge lesser, something like 99LH and FH property.

[kane]

dangerous, people will end up overpaying for the 5 year and push the 10 year prices even higher.

Dump the car. Just cab, bus , train.

Simple.

At this rate, inflation is going to be very high next year...
and why there is no cooling measure for COE?

housing is very diff fr car. there will not be much bubble from car relatively as compared to housing. furthermore housing affects everyone from the poorest to the richest. cars are luxury, poorest dun even need to tink abt it whether coe $1 or $100k. politically it is less sensitive.

i think the quota reducing in feb or something. seriously need to consider selling my high cc car and downgrade to small car, save some $$$. coe high, time to downgrade.

Its always good to have hope and optimism... don't dwell too long...

Allow only SC to have 10 year COE, rest get 5 year.
PR subjected to approval.

I tend to compare a 10 year COE worth $82000 versus a LH99 condo worth $820,000. Which one is money better spent?

How about having the condo, letting it out to service your car loan ?

Or you can think of it as 1 honda accord / toyota camry today equals 1 3room flat 7 to 8years ago.

COE Cooling measure:
first car : 1 unit of COE
second car: 2 units of COE
third car : 3 x COE

on a per household or address basis.

Who dare to implement this ?

depend whether this condo is your 1st, 2nd or subsequent? i think beyond the 3rd condo, it is okay to spend some $$ to pamper yourself. can't take it with you once hand in NRIC.

Then people will buy more property to use the address for the COE .

So funny..
Beginning of this thread was.. $82k still cheap for Cat B & Open Cat COE??
Now is.. $82 still cheap for Cat A COE??

...which means there is possibility for Cat A COE to rise to today's Cat B level of $93-95K some months later. So, $82K now is still cheap!

I actually got our girls to select a nice watch which they will get to wear when they work in the future. But during this time, my wife will get to wear it, so they can remember her wearing it.

bro, this is quite sweet. what was the reason for doing this?

[Shanhz]

If it does, then it make sense to buy a brand new car, drive for 1 year then sell it. In that way, you may get to drive it for free during the 1 year!

same as ppty lor. musical chair. see which guy left holding it when it tanks. ppty better, hold for 10 years value come back. car hold for 10 years. left metal nia.

[Shanhz]

Yes, yes, please drop in 2015.
That's when I will be in dire need to get one.

actually high COE doesn't bother me. when the time comes for renewal, just pick an older car to drive lor.

[chiaberry]

I'm eyeing a smaller more energy efficient car. Faster build the Thomson Line. Then I won't even need the car to get to work. Can get off at the doorstep of my work place.

Coz chestnut only buy FH watches, looking after for the next generation.
