2) Then my class 2b bike will have a new number plate

 

3) After which I can take my class 2b bike and sell it away?

let make it short u want to sell ur class 2b bike first also can.simple just pay $1300 to lta to retain the number plate for 1 year.

if u put on new vehicle lta will refund u the $1200 by cheque.

 

 

if u dont wish to pay the $1300 first then ,u simple purchase ur class 2a bike then pay $100 for rentention number plate ,then u sell away ur class 2b bike.

hmmm so means if i've got 2 bikes under my name, and i wanna interchange the plates, i would only have to pay $100?

not to be mean ,$100 is for new register vehicle with coe under ur name.

dont think ur 2 biek meet the requirement.

teh price for that is $1300 x2 if both biek swap.

 

if only 1 biek swap then $1300 teh other biek will get a f b b number plate

Hmm.. Pai seh ar.. Ask another few qns..

 

1) So if i retain my number plate for my new bike, then the coe for my old number plate continues from the day i started using it rite? I no longer can count 10 yrs from when I pay $100 to retain the plate rite?

 

So actually this whole thing is like I "transfer" my COE to my new bike and I buy another 10 yrs COE for my old bike?

 

2) I know it's abit silly but i juz ask lah.. Which is a better idea?

 

I bought my new bike indicating to the bike shop tat i intended to retain my number plate.. I got my new bike wif my old number plate and my old bike fixed with the new plate.. I ride my old bike to different bike shops asking for its selling price..

 

OR I juz "trade in" my old bike and let the bike shop handle the retain number plate thing..

 

Both methods work rite?

1st Option

=======

If you trade in your old bike to the same shop that you will purchase the new bike then they can do it for you and you only have to pay S$100 for retaining yr number.

 

2nd Option

=======

You purchase the new bike and still hold yr old bike. The fees are the same at S$100.

 

3rd Option

=======

You sell yr old bike first and retain the number for the new bike which you haven't purchase yet. The fees are S$1300

 

+ + + +

 

The new COE remains with the new bike regardless the number plate sawped or not. For example you swap the plate number FS1234 (abt 7years old) with the number plate FBB5678. The COE of the FS1234 is for 10years and the COE for FBB5678 is for the remaining 3 years.

 

+ + +

 

To swap the number plates between 2 vehicles, both of the vehicles has to be under your name at the time of swapping. In that case you only pay S$100. I did retain my car's number. I sold my old car to an intividual and purchased my new car from an agent. I delivered my old car to the new Owner one working day after my new car was registered.

 

Is that clear?

lets say u have a bike now FA123

 

den u wanna buy new bike fr motoshop

 

to put FA123 on a new bike pay 100 only

 

if now u got 2 bikes

 

bike A = FA 123

bike B = FZ1X

 

u wan bike A to becum FZ1X plate

bike B becum FA123

 

means swop bike A n B plate

 

tis one is 1300X2= 2600

 

so simple

Is there anyone who wants to buy a second hand bike but retain his old bike number? Is it very silly?

the $100 u havent include GST.

neway another situation is..

 

ur existing bike is insurance abt 2expire BUT

new bike havent register yet..

 

so wat u can do, lay up the old bike.

register new bike under ur name, den pay $100 + GST to swap plates.
