About 12% of Singapore’s total land area is roadway. Before you are allowed to purchase a car, prospective buyers have to first bid for a Certificate of Entitlement (COE), which for a mid-sized sedan can total up to SGD$41,600 (US$30,600). Additional taxes are added, which means costs can add up to more than the open market value of the car itself. The average cost of a compact car is approximately SGD$105,929 (US$77,670). The industry’s premium pricing is part of the government’s plan for a “car-lite” Singapore, as limited space challenges city planners.
