Here's Why Singapore Makes It so Incredibly Expensive to Own a Car
Singapore media professional Ellie Lim gave up her plan to buy a new Volvo SUV to ferry her newborn baby when she realized it was going to cost her more than S$200,000 ($142,000).
“I was quite shocked,” said Lim, 34. Coupled with high interest rates on car loans, fuel prices and maintenance fees, buying a new car is “a financially unsound decision,” she said. Why would you spend the cost of an apartment from the government’s Housing & Development Board for a rapidly depreciating asset? “These are all like HDB flats running on the road.”
Lim’s lament is a common one in Singapore, which strictly controls the number of vehicles on its roads by forcing buyers to bid for a limited quota of permits, making its autos among the most expensive in the world. Last month, pent-up consumer demand an...

More car owners in Singapore switching to electric vehicles
More car owners in Singapore are switching to electric vehicles (EVs). There are about 11,000 EVs on the roads, 40 per cent more than last year. But they only make up a small percentage of all cars on the roads. Still, a survey shows that EV adoption is picking up pace, even though a majority of car owners in Singapore still do not know much about EVs. Marcus Tan with more.

Singapore media professional Ellie Lim gave up her plan to buy a new Volvo SUV to ferry her newborn baby when she realized it was going to cost her more than S$200,000 ($142,000).
“I was quite shocked,” said Lim, 34. Coupled with high interest rates on car loans, fuel prices and maintenance fees, buying a new car is “a financially unsound decision,” she said. Why would you spend the cost of an apartment from the government’s Housing & Development Board for a rapidly depreciating asset? “These are all like HDB flats running on the road.”
Lim’s lament is a common one in Singapore, which strictly controls the number of vehicles on its roads by forcing buyers to bid for a limited quota of permits, making its autos among the most expensive in the world. Last month, pent-up consumer demand and a growing appetite for electric vehicles pushed the price of those permits to yet another record. But Singapore’s model of making cars a luxury, balanced by spending billions on a ubiquitous and efficient public transport system, is beginning to look less crazy as other global cities try to build more sustainable infrastructure.
“If you’re a city urban planner, you’d look at Singapore,” said Song Seng Wun, an economist at CIMB Private Banking. It’s “one of the only cities that can keep its car population down. You can’t build more roads without taking space and resources from others, so if you want to drive, pay.”
Singapore’s government controls traffic growth with a series of quotas and taxes that can push up the on-the-road cost of a car to five times the wholesale price in the country of manufacture. The biggest levy is the Certificate of Entitlement, which is set in a twice-monthly auction. The COE gives the right to run a vehicle for 10 years in Singapore. Once it expires, you either have to scrap or export the car, or buy another COE.

_________________________________________________
COE for CAT A Vehicles (May 2023): over $100K SGD
All in cost for a brand new car is at least $120K SGD
Why I do not need a Car in Singapore
- WFH 90% of the time (Main reason)
- No need to travel frequently for work, unlike in sales
- Owning a car is a luxury in Singapore (Materialism)
Financial Cost
- Need to earn $8729 monthly to afford a car by Seedly
- Not just Cost of car, but COE, Maintenance, parking, insurance, road tax, ERP, etc
- Car loan is NOT a good debt (not reducing balance)
- All in cost ~$2.5K per month for brand new entry level Japanese car
Opportunity Cost
- Time to find parking (limited space & expensive in certain areas)
- Fully focus on the road, cannot do other productive things during commute
Public Transport
- Affordable and reasonable quality public transport
- Taxis & PHVs are readily available
- Consider rental cars like GetGo, BlueSG
Driving Experience in Singapore
- Poor road ethics from driver/pedestrian/cyclist
- Traffic jams
So, who should buy cars?
- The car helps you earn income e.g. save time to meet more clients in sales
- You have a real need e.g. ferry family members, old, disabled, young children
- Your side income can help to cover the cost
- It is a form of storage to help your personal life/business e.g. plumber, repairman spare parts
- Your company provides car allowance
- Consider 2nd hand or COE Car?
Speaking for my own situation as a work from home self-employed person. Your life situation may be different and change along the years too

COE for CAT A Vehicles (May 2023): over $100K SGD
All in cost for a brand new car is at least $120K SGD
Why I do not need a Car in Singapore
- WFH 90% of the time (Main reason)
- No need to travel frequently for work, unlike in sales
- Owning a car is a luxury in Singapore (Materialism)
Financial Cost
- Need to earn $8729 monthly to afford a car by Seedly
- Not just Cost of car, but COE, Maintenance, parking, insurance, road tax, ERP, etc
- Car loan is NOT a good debt (not reducing balance)
- All in cost ~$2.5K per month for brand new entry level Japanese car
Opportunity Cost
- Time to find parking (limited space & expensive in certain areas)
- Fully focus on the road, cannot do other productive things during commute
Public Transport
- Affordable and reasonable quality public transport
- Taxis & PHVs are readily available
- Consider rental cars like GetGo, BlueSG
Driving Experience in Singapore
- Poor road ethics from driver/pedestrian/cyclist
- Traffic jams
So, who should buy cars?
- The car helps you earn income e.g. save time to meet more clients in sales
- You have a real need e.g. ferry family members, old, disabled, young children
- Your side income can help to cover the cost
- It is a form of storage to help your personal life/business e.g. plumber, repairman spare parts
- Your company provides car allowance
- Consider 2nd hand or COE Car?
Speaking for my own situation as a work from home self-employed person. Your life situation may be different and change along the years too
99 reasons not to, 1 reason to : do what you want

If you watched the previous episode of "Capturing Car Culture," you know that Singapore has a vibrant car culture, but unfortunately that comes with a price, a big price. This episode, Larry goes to some of the most exclusive car collections in Singapore, where it takes millions of dollars just to possess these cars, let alone purchase and drive them. One collection is so secret, it's spread out across several properties where they had to wait until the middle of the night to go.

Singapore's bizarre car market, where three letters C.O.E (certificate of entitlement) can add a staggering $100,000 to the cost of a car. Why owning a car in this tiny, bustling city-state is both a luxury and a practical necessity. Singapore's pursuit of becoming a "CarLite" nation impacts car enthusiasts, commuters, and the environment, and these challenges are shaping the future of transportation in Garden City.

More car owners in Singapore are switching to electric vehicles (EVs). There are about 11,000 EVs on the roads, 40 per cent more than last year. But they only make up a small percentage of all cars on the roads. Still, a survey shows that EV adoption is picking up pace, even though a majority of car owners in Singapore still do not know much about EVs. Marcus Tan with more.
