COE prices for Oct 05

[RAV-65]

this round of coe prices really tempting me to scrap my car and get my dream car (at the moment) SUV .. toyota fortuner!

being a 1st time car owner, there's some noob questions i hope u bros wouldn't mind helping me with

say my parf & coe rebate value when scrap is ard 40k and my outstanding loan is 50k.

does this mean that i would have to fork out at least 10k++ even though i trade in my car?

looking for the cheapest way to get my dream car la

anyone willing to explain to me how this parf/coe rebate thingy works?

Suggest u call the finance to check the full settlement amount...

Den go to LTA/one-motoring website to check your scrap value... normally u can sell the car for a few k above the scrap value...

Anyone looking at the Honda or Toyota Hybrid car? is it worth it?

[weileong]

hybrid car?

The upfront payment so high.

Somemore rd tax calculated based on KW ouput of the 2 engine combined.

Goverment not making it attractive for pple to buy.

I think the main issue is not about going green in such a economic climate ... it is about cutting cost ...

Maybe they should reconsider diesel engine car in singapore ...but then again .. the government is going to lose so much revenue due to diesel tax about 8 to 9 times of a normal petrol car ...

Hybrid car will not happen so fast .... due to high cost - not like in the US .. the government go all out to give real benefit for pple using Hybrid technology ... recently the govenment effort to double the existing benefit is still not attractive enough ... why a half hearted effort !!!

The next closest thing is to bang on car running on compressed gas as they are so cheap .....but then it is not green at all ...

Hi bro,

any 1 can help me?thought of changing my current toyota corolla to a new altis or vios,do you think is ok?

more info if you need,coe is at $26239,parf value is at $13720,yr of manuf. is at 2001.do toyota agent accept trade in?

Thanks!!!

Your car registered in Jul 2001 so it is with the old PARF where cars less than 5 yrs old have PARF of 130% OMV.

Your PARF value of $13270 is the min. PARF which is 80% of your OMV.

Your car is 51 months old now.

PARF = 130% OMV = $22295

COE rebate for unused portion = $15087

Your paper value is $37382

Plus body around $4000

Total = $41382.

You can expect trade-in value around there.

You can check the exact paper value on http://www.onemotoring.com.sg/
