For instance, if paper value (PARF + COE rebates) is $85k. New car (same model with $10k COE) price is $70k. So they can actually get a new car plus get a profit of $15k. If they can sell their old car body for $5k, they get $20k profit.

Is this correct?
Yes correct. Once these high COE cars are deregistering, the quota will be further increased, and that will further drive the COE down
Then everyone will have a happy time with ultra low COE.

What a great government that we have with 20/20 foresight.
