SINGAPORE - Premiums for car certificates of entitlement (COE) rose hit a high at the end of April's first bidding exercise at 4pm today (April 4).


A Category A COE - for small cars 1,600cc and below, including taxis - rose to $58,501, up from $56,501 in the previous bidding in March. Cat B climbed as well to $83,700 from $82,003 previously.

The Open Cat, normally used for cars, also saw a rise to $84,590 from $80,101.

These prices for car COEs have not been seen in recent years.

Cat C for commercial vehicles rose to $53,989 from $51,511. Cat D for motorcycles dipped to $1,896 from $2,000.

According to a Straits Times report, the rise was attributed to new car launches and renewed customer confidence stemming from a strong stock and property market.

Who is also affected ? Steep price for COE spells disaster ? Are our cars more ex than those in Japan and Hong Kong ?

Cannot afford then buy second hand lor. Or else what are we going to do ? Migrate ah ? Not a bad idea too. Anyway, our houses are so expensive these days.

The rich can stay in singapore. The poor should find a way to ship out. This is not a country for you people.
 
In the PAPs eyes,,that just mean the economy is doing very well,,,and they are doing a good job as means more can afford to buy cars and GDP will go up even more
