Heh, so $82k is cheap

I agree. The COE should shoot up end of this year once the quota is cut in Aug. This will drive properties near MRT stations and good schools up.
Be Heard, not the Herd
We all read Tharman's speech yesterday. The supply of COEs will not increase just to placate a car starved nation. Improving public transport will be the main objective. Not just MRT, but buses, taxis etc as well.
May well have those small private buses operating in the estates to shuttle residents to MRT stations and around, like in HK, leaving SMRT and Comfort Delgro to focus on the MRT and main bus services.

Not been keeping abreast of car market but I noticed that all the transfer fee in sgcarmart for all cars are currently at only $11. Why huh?

Mr Tharman S. whisper this during Budget, u miss it?
"The Additional Transfer Fee, or ATF, is levied on used-vehicle transactions at 2% of the vehicle value at the point of transfer. Arising from feedback from the public and the motor industry, the Government has reviewed and decided that the ATF is no longer necessary. I will therefore abolish the ATF, starting tomorrow. This is estimated to cost the Government $70 million per annum in revenue forgone "
As announced by the Minister for Finance during Budget 2012, the Additional Transfer Fee for the transfer of vehicle registration will be removed with effect from 18 February 2012. In addition, the Transfer Fee for all vehicles will be revised to $11. These changes will apply to all transfers of vehicle registration effected on or after 18 February 2012.

Maybe.... another 3 years' lifespan for 1st COE. Not too sure if I should wait out... COE price! Housing price! Did we choose to live in such a high cost society? Are we responsible for such a current predicament or is it too much to ask our policy makers to help us out?

Home prices up, COE aka car prices up, transport fares up, oil prices up, food prices up, how come salary no up? When people complain, others will say govt don't owe us a living but where to draw the line? Its no longer a matter of owe or no owe. At this type of living expenses, are we still wrong to ask for help?

Where is the cooling measure for COE? We need more COEs, more & wider roads, better public transport with no Breakdown as cooling measures!

Gov just made 100mil in one day, more than it collected as ABSD for 3months
Did Tharman budget all this in ? Looks like this year he will have a super surplus.
Senior
Come Aug when the COE quota is further slashed, the previous COE record will surely be broken... the funny truth is our lovely MIW can explain very convincingly the reason for slashing the COE number coz of less deregistration, etc but they don't address the undesirable effects that come along with it. Citizens no choice have to bear the brunt of this policy.
They just say too expensive then don't buy car. Take the public transport which fails as often as my need to top up fuel for my car... just 2 days back and today again train failure... my colleague mentioned that last time take train to school for your exams is safer than taking bus/car coz of traffic jam, etc but no longer so... also the call system for taxi is also recently challenged... don't drive car, can't take public transport (including Taxi) then just walk to work or luggi better, work from home lor?

FED flushes the markets with liquidity....
LTA soaks up liquidity....
Where got same....
Maybe that's the garment's way to dealing with excess liquidity

u are right, COE 1pc exchange for USD100 720pcs....our's better in performance. GLS plots are soaking up a lot of liquidity too.FED flushes the markets with liquidity....

Global recession is coming....
Worst still, for past 15 years when population increased by 30%, COE increased by 30%, road network and throughput only increase like 3%?
We are paying for their inefficiency and incapability / inaction and they sit there and can make more money and claim credit for bringing in more revenue from COE, ERP, car park fees etc etc?
