Can you afford it?<br /> Then also, when you got a new car, probably you got to pay a higher monthly premium. Unless you are getting picanto class cars with mthly 300++, other cars will need you to pay more. Can you afford it?<br /> If both above you got no prob, then go ahead to change.<br /> If I were you, I'll stick with that corolla for 1-2 years. At least, won't suffer so much loss.

Basically, you are in a die lock now. Do seek out some SEs for the detailed calculations.

Whatever you pay now will extend another 4yrs of driving. Next year, whatever you pay will extend driving for 5yrs and so forth... So every year the calculation changes as scrap value of your current car gets lower and you will pay more to extend driving for longer period.[/b]</p> Sat, 15 Oct 2005 23:56:20 +0800 politics.sgforums.com:2:157262:3749420 kmkm http://politics.sgforums.com/forums/2/topics/157262 <p>hey bros out there.. thanks for advise. do you guys think i shd keep the car for 6yrs? if so car got no value at all to top up a <img title="Question" src= "/images/emoticons/classic/icon_question.gif" alt="Question" /> new car by that time too right?</p> Sat, 15 Oct 2005 18:38:52 +0800 politics.sgforums.com:2:157262:3748364 firescorpz http://politics.sgforums.com/forums/2/topics/157262 <p>frankly speaking, i think you are stuck with your COE car for the next few years liao. If you have to use 6yrs to pay for 18800, that means you have little cash to cough up for the losses. 3 months ago? cars were already getting cheap around that time, you still buy COE without checking out the market?<br /> As long as your COE car pleases you, why not use it for a few more years? Car will be even cheaper(hopefully) by then. That will be a better time to change a car. Buying car is like this, when you buy, price then drop. Like me, my COE was 16500, thought it was cheap enough liao. Buy, then COE fell 14000, then 12000. What to do? As long as i love my car and is able to finance it, dun think of changing other cars lor...if can change, i also want to change to mazda 3, alfa romeo, pergeot307, ford focus.
