COE Cars in Singapore
Discussion
Want to get a car over here, but don't want to drop too much cash. As I'll only be here a year or so I was wondering if it was worth getting a COE car with a couple of years to run. Anyone know of any downsides to this cunning plan? Other than I'll probably be running about in an early 90's civic....
I'm being a tightwad and setting my budget at S$10k tops!!! Didnb't know you only get 3rd party though... might have to look at parf cars instead!!
That merc does look pretty good value for here, one of my friends has one and they do drive welll considering engine/bodysize..

Oh well, back to the drawing board!

Other options, something old and interesting (alfa Junior / Porsche 911 etc .. ) they will cost $40 - 60 now, and should sell easily for the same again in a year or so!
I'm really tempted by some of them, but not sure they will return the same value when I need to move on.... Convince me one way or another.... I need some wheels!XJSJohn said:
BTW, i probably should not meet your missus, she may want to kill me 
Luckily for you next time she's out (mid April) she'll be just out of hospital after a shoulder replacement op so won't be able to swing for you for at least six months! XJSJohn said:

I am sure i can find some way to justify to the wife that we NEED 2 old aircooled 911's in Singapore 
A pair is always worth more non? Tell her it's an investment!who am i kidding, she'll not go for that one

Yup, on the AYE heading towards Tuas last saturday... ang mo in an MPV with a trailer and a dirt bike on it.... Only one I've ever seen.XJSJohn said:
have been looking at this one for a while now too ... has a rather interesting root supercharger conversion http://www.sgcarmart.com/used_cars/info.php?ID=320...
That is nice, and very deffo out of my price range if I'm to stay married!XJSJohn said:

Don't tempt me! mebbe catch up for a beer friday or over the weekend?x200sxy said:
I found this, gorgeous and only about 3 x what it would cost here. Gorgeous.
It's lovely and I've always liked them especially the TWR ones! Problem being is I've set myself a very miserly budget and this beast is only 4.7 x what I've allowed myself!!
XJSHappyGoLucky does have a nice ring to it though......
just pop in and have a chat with them .... they are lovely people!!

BTW looking at your pfofile, i don't think we can classify this as a car ....
tha'ar be a tra'or tha'ar be Jethro.

Oh, bugger... I'd forgotten about that! Agreed to buy it the day before I flew to SP.... Best give him a call and arrange for payment & delivery!!
ETA, things could be looking up! Just found this, gotta be worth a look?

oops, look similar to the X300 wheels I have on mine. One of the diamond turned ones got damaged and not available any more. However, imho these suit the S and are a damn sight easier to keep clean!

think you just need SGCarmart on in the background, and just hit refresh every 10 minutes
Normally do, but today I have mostly been out on site doing walkdowns most of the day so have lost about three litres of fluids, beer will need to flow big time tonight to top levels back up!!Gassing Station | Asia | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
