If the objectives is to limit cars then why not.
Just few hundred cars on the road lor
But poor PAP also have to take bus n train to work.
This way can also shove electric cars manufacturers in their sss la
I guess. But I don't think revenue will be enough.

most buyers are short sighted & can't see how broken already it is, while being compliant with what everyone else is saying...
Car buying is serious business here…. Every related thread will quarrel :unsure:
In real life just see friends and colleagues getting their latest EVs without much fanfare…

why remove it? they sld modify it, if a person bid $1mil, then he has to pay $1m even if the minimum winning bid is $100k. maximize the revenue.
actually.

it's pretty simple.

just make Buyer bid own COE + pay full cash for it.

go dealership = BYO-COE

That's also very fair if you ask me.

Pay what you bid.

I mean they do that for HDB rental for GP clinic right? Is pay what you bid. Not the dunno how many bidder bid.

They will still need a quota system to add / remove cars and achieve a balance.

Make ownership too "cheap" end up alot of cars in carparks and on roads.

If no COE ... 500% ARF and $50 per km driven as calculated via ERP ?

End of the day financial pemalties will still be around one form or the other.
It’s easy to calculate by distance actually. Everytime the car comes for inspection, the mileage is recorded. So it will be compared with the previous mileage and then let’s say charge at 1c per km and if you drove 20k km, u are taxed $200 on top of road tax

If you sold the car before inspection, you will have to pay for the distance until the minute you handover. Means the mileage will be recorded at handover time and paid to LTA when officially handed over

You wanna buy a second hand car must have the recorded mileage on taking over so inspection you just pay what you used. Of cos if you lost the records, good luck. If there were odo tampering, like previous inspection showed 250k km but you turned up for inspection at 100k km, sure kenna caught

And of cos can counter check with ERP 2.0 and those who keep driving long distance to Malaysia might lugi

Not necessarily under normal circumstances. I first bought my honda at 17k. It is the imposition of COE that made cars today inaccessible to most.

Why SG not remove COE ?? Instead of finding ways to improve it why not we remove it altogether? and then restrict it in another way etc
why o why are the school holidays not ending yet?

then we can finally have fewer of this kind of stupiak questions that someone with a bit of critical thinking skills can answer...
