New car is 100k or 50k for five years (COE can deduct) so maybe $5k So renew COE 5 years still make some sense also cash upfront is 20k nia Loan for new car is now like 50%? so up front cash is 50k? |

This make sense but given your mileage at 200k will have quite a handful of replacement parts, unless mileage of 120k make a better choice to renew.

Gone were the time that cars are simply made to drive only, now computerize here computerize there.
My old model Vitara change aircon compressor at $550 at normal workshop, my friend's new model Vitara got to go for reprograming then can function after changing the compressor which prevent him from going outside workshop.He spend a total of $2k plus to change. |

Current renewal based on Aug PQP of $44,081. If 2nd bidding goes up to: - $40,000, Sept PQP will be $42,080 - $42,000, Sept PQP will be $42,414 Paying late payment still quite worth it. Unless Bidding hits $50k, than there's no real savings. second bidding no guarantee will stay low since there is a rush of buyers gg to showroom since e 1st bidding plummet. |
