  Hi,
  
  Today's Straits Times say that govt will be likely to increase the amount of COEs this Oct. Does this mean that COEs will be cheaper then and end of the yr is the best time to buy a car? According to previous years' statistics, COEs tend to be cheaper towards the end of the yr, does this mean we can see COEs around $10K? Please advise. Thanks!

  I can see more cars being tow back by banks. As more are getting bigger cars instead of those that are comfortable within their own budget.

  People buy car just to enjoy but never realise that getting a car will drain off all their hard earn money. Worst still, they did not budgeted other expenses such road tax, insurance and R&M.
  
  Eventually, after a few struggling months, they can't pay and car got towed.

  Agreed!
  
  I heard from a friend working in a bank
  That they approve car loans for people who are earning 4k combined income
  Who wanted to buy a BMW
  Mainly because they can tow the cars away
