What is more illogical is how can an MC1.2KW cost more than a car? |

This will NEVER ever happen here. The smallest Geely car (happen to be the cheapest), is now priced at closed to S$60k, while a pair of MC1.2Kw is only about half $30k.
If you think thats ridiculous, today a 1000 square feet Condo is now COMMONLY priced S$2.2m and above. I happen to see one I like and after hearing the price, quickly made my exit. S$4.2m for only 2000 square feet. Think we are going crazy like HK ......... The cars you owned? Well, I can never afford to own .... cause base price will be like starting from $400k. Cheers! |

Overall cost of the car Registration fee + Cost Price + Road Tax + COE + additional registration fee (140% of OMV) and customs duty (31% of OMV). So take a $50 BMW in the US and add 140% OMV and 31% Custom Duty plus at least $35K COE and you will easily be over $200k. |

You qualify to become a permanent resident ... ! Just a flavor of how much a car cost today. A Mercedes S350 will cost S$368k and going up (that depends on the COE - Certificate Of Entitlement which hoovers around S$50k today - a car birth certificate of sorts). HiFi and watches seems so much affordable in comparison! Cheers! |

I think it was the Beatles who said:
"If you own a car they'll tax your gas, if you own are cart they'll tax your ass." |

Personal tax maxed at 20%. Gas is at S$1.96 per liter (about S$7.84 = US$5.6 per gallon). Housing is now about S$1000 per sq. foot. Schwinn Bike? Hardly my friend ........ |
