How much are you earning per annum?

If you have the conviction that singaporeans are obsessed with cars and hence its prices, show some guts and go and create a separate thread.

Don't hijack others' thread and hope for "incidental page views" to enhance you chance of selling. If you cannot even be ethical on something that has a zero price tag, how can we trust you for anything else??

well known doesnt mean it's correct. Why cant use the proper word if you are educated?

when i woke up from afternoon nap, my pants felt a bit wet.... is it considered wet dream? no wonder i still thinking whether it will hit COE $30k

Looks like the replacement demand is very strong. Pray hard that elections don't come too soon. If not the clawback will surely happen and it will further drive up the COE premiums.

What an interesting twist to introduce to the argument.

This was not a question of correctness. It is about using the appropriate lingo in the right context and medium (in this case, this forum) to convey a message with impact.

It is ok to admit your ignorance of web lingos and no one will hold it against you. No one can claim to be an expert on it as new phrases and "slang" are introduced every now and then. Some of these new phrases and internet slang will catch on while others will fade away if they are silly or "not local".

The slang "gahmen" apparently have become quite entrenched in local forums as it allowed forummers to both refer to the law makers obliquely and at the same poked fun at them. As you can see, even gahmen agencies have tried using it to connect with forummers but unfortunately, with rather disastrous outcome.

So, don't try and hide your ignorance by throwing in non related argument about correctness. No worries, we are all learning from each other.

I woke up this morning with a huge throbbing dripping wet bulge in my pants...

Buyers are rushing to book new cars ahead of changes to the CEV scheme.

Buy with guaranteed COE so that you don't have to be disappointed all the time.

COE for Cat A at $67k plus is still cheap. It ever went to $90k in 2013. So best is to grab your new car now if your car is 5 years old or older. COE is expected to go higher.

DEMAND is so much greater than supply.

HIGH DEMAND due to:

1. Prices of cars expected to rise further with the changes in the CEV scheme.
2. Higher household income today compared to 10 years ago.
3. Higher income for new graduates.
4. Families buying their 2nd, 3rd, 4th car so that father, mother, son, daughter can each drive a new car since they can afford it.
5. High property market. Many young families can flip their BTO flat since they bought very cheap 5 years ago and after flipping they make lots of money and so can use the profit gained to pay for the 50% cash downpayment.
6. Many people make money from stock market as the stock market today is higher than a few years ago.
7. New cars being status symbols motivate everyone to buy a new car from those living in public housing to those living in private housing. There are people who cannot afford condos to show they are successful but at least they can own a new car to show that they are successful.
8. Many other reasons.
