IT HAS been a roller-coaster week for some car buyers.
Those who booked a vehicle as far back as January and have yet to take delivery of it have been asked to 'top up' what they paid to secure certificates of entitlement (COEs), prices of which jumped by up to 50 per cent in last week's tender.
Another group of buyers, however, breathed a collective sigh of relief, having collected their cars before the big price hike.

Now COE.

Both heading in the same direction.

For ordinary people, just empty your pockets if you want to own homes or cars in Singapore.

And work your butts out... probably until the day you are laid to rest in your 6 x 2.

If buyers are eager to buy, then let them suffer the consequences - after all, minister did tell everyone that the market to decide the prices and if buyers of cars want to chase after the cars, so be it.
