[QUOTE="wobbles, post: 554933, member: 24637"] Heheh. I think Bro andrewk is referring to the "COE" issued by the "Home Minister" - i.e. permission given by wife, not the actual COE itself. I think it would be easier for me to bid for the actual COE, than for me to obtain wife's permission... So, to illustrate by example, the basic steps a Singaporean goes through, in a car purchase: [b]Typical Singaporean male (I use males because most car buying petrol-heads are males, hehe)[/b] ---> [B]sees car he likes[/b] ---> [B]puts deposit down for car[/b] ---> [B]Dealer bids for COE on his behalf[/b] ---> [B]successful[/b] ---> [B]sort out bank loan[/b] ---> [B]drives home with car of his dreams[/b] In my case (and I think in the case of some of the other brothers here as well): [B]Married BMWClubMalaysia Forum brother[/b] ---> [B]see car I like[/b] ---> [B]speaks to wife[/b] --> [B]bid for "COE" from wife[/b] ---> [B]wife rejects[/b] ---> [B]dream dies there. [/b]Don't need to talk about what bank loan etc. End of story. Finish. Kaput. [/QUOTE]
