Highly possible. As long the price of COE is high, our government would be please!

 

And normally those in the motor trading industry would know how the COE system works.

 

I remember many years ago when my friend wanted to sell her car and I followed her to see the procedure. They could manipulate figures for the car loan with the bank

in order to get around the government's policies. (I saw her initial paperwork)

Like 20% was needed for car downpayment but somehow she only needed to pay 10%.

 

Look at what they did with the budget, give money to the pioneer generation(which is great), but tax the tobacco and alcohol (which is "health hazard") to cover the "losses".

 

Policies are just to make people happy, they will always claim that people find loopholes in the system. Then they start catching some "scapegoat" and make them examples.

 

How, sound like conspiracy theory or not? Lol!

 

Haha. 'Sin taxes' as they term it. Same reason they charge $100 entrance fees to our casinos.

 

THE bank loan thing, called overtrade, but this is only worth to do before the current loan restrictions kicked in. So say vehicle list price by dealer is $100k, before full loan was allowed, need min 20% downpayment which is $20k, but i dun want to come out any cash, so dealer will up the loan to $100k+downpayment ($120k), and then car price is $120k+20% to trick the banks lor. But the list price is still $100k by the dealer.

 

Our gahmen is seriously damn smart. U see, bloody ERP, they dun follow London, UK, where its £8/entry into CBD area for cars and heavy vehicles. Bikes there no congestion charge.

 

Here, 'cheap cheap' $0.50-$5 for cars. Motorist will still pay, cos its still considerably cheap for them. And the rich working high management in big MNCs actually can claim for their transport usage. Senior Management season parking in CBD also covered by company.

 

Rich get richer, poor getting poorer by the day.

The car COE for CAT A also with 130bhp restrictions is also a joke. LTA researchers and policy makers failed to note that Mercedes and Audi have models like the A, B, CLA, GLA and A3 respectively that still is 1.6L and below with less than 130bhp.

 

But my theory is these cars are more of lifestyle cars than family cars cos its really small. Rich ppl will continue to buy their Audi and Mercedes, but its downgrading for them. However, this group of ppl are looking to downsize anyways. They probably realise they wont need such a big car to drive in city traffic.

 

Im guessing give it till Aug, and COE prices will stabilise. Now is still too soon to see any changes.

[tabung]

Wah let's change to heavy roller

[tabung]

Order more cheaper rite

By the way, when your buy things online using credit card, are your charged 2.3% extra by the banks?

 

Dont get ANZ cards, cos they will pass the MasterCard and Visa 2.3% admin charge down to us. I used DBS/HSBC cards previously, no such thing leh. Its transparent exchange rates.

I normally pay thru paypal if possible. But no, even then, I've never had the extra admin charges pass on to me as of now.

It is not they don't know that Mercedes or Audi or BMW have lower class, it is they are thinking how best to make sure they get the most money out of the whoe thing.

 

If they are serious about it, they can always peg the categories according to the OMV. At the end of the day, LTA controls the numbers.

 

The problem is not how ro refine the COE system, the problem is that it was and still is a mistake from the moment it started.

 

Back in the days before COE and ERP was implemented, they used to encourage people to do car pooling. Which was rather effective...

but then, they decided to get greedy......;(

Not really leh but can check with the seller. Coz if more postage as bit different.

Yeap, very obvious that all the policies they implement are based on how much $$$ they can get back aft implementing it!

Anyways, its pointless to get those touring bikes. Too wide liao, cannot squeeze between traffic. Our roads getting narrower.

 

Those BMW R1200GS/ bikes with really wide panniers, i pity the riders. Cannot squeeze in slow traffic condition. Haha.

 

Defeats the purpose of getting a motorbike in the first place.

 

And even with a $55k GoldWing, raining also kenna drenched by rain. No difference. Haha, self console!

Just fix back my Leo Vince today and with the 18g rollers, it feels awesome.

 

No longer the empty feeling. Feels abit like the Tmax when moving off .... cept that Tmax is twin piston.

Anyway, a bit only. Lol!

 

But Nor didn't enjoy it, he still prefer mine with the stock exhaust .....wahahaha!

 

Now waiting to change pillow and torque spring.

[synman]

Testing to see how my new signature will look! And hope we get to page 27....

[synman]

Eh, crap how to get the signature out.....lol

[topgearalwaysrock]

Thanks man, really enjoying the bike other than the vibration when going slow.

 

Other than that, this bike is awesome!

 

Let's hope Nor's change of springs will resolve the issue with the clutch!

[topgearalwaysrock]

Yeap,

 

Actually the vibes not too bad. Makes me more alert on the road. But with a pillion, the vibrations and jerkiness become more pronounced, i guess due to heavier loads.

 

Loving my Majesty each day! 66600 miles and counting! Still feels newer than my ex KYmco Downtown 125i!
