      I think the taxis COEs are making the smaller cars more expensive. Recently, it was reported in the newspapers that bidding from taxi companies make up more than 30% of the bids in the small cars category.

        found this recent blog...


        http://unbrandedbreadnbutter.wordpress.com/2012/03/28/the-mysterious-case-of-taxis-and-cat-a-coe/

        it is basically say that taxis are making small cars more expensive and zheng hu does not give a good explanation of why it is doing like that. It is unfair to let us common people fight for COE with taxi companies, they have so much cash and they need to taxi to make a profit but some of us just need it for convenience or work in very far places. Public buses are exempted COE leh...arghhh...

              if you could wait for 5 years for the COE to drop, you probably don't to change / buy a new car

                      if one crash can't let u reach your goal then bargain hunt and profit take for a few cycles... every cycle of market crash or recession means a big change of wealth $$$$.....

                      the thing is can we live long enough to achieve our ever changing target??? :rotflmao: when we have an inch we want one foot.... 😆

                        I’m one of those affected by this high COE…need to change car cos of addition of 2 family members …new baby+maid. Plus new booster seat rule means my 2nd child have to be on booster seat…it’s so squeezy in my current sedan. Plus, if we bring maid out my baby wld have to be carried instead of in car seat (I dun like this!).


                        But too crazily high la COE, so we take our time to recce 2nd hand car sigh. N dun bring out maid unless necessary lor. See how long can do with this arrangement … SG are made for 2 kids or less lor.
