It might not be wise to get a first hand petrol fueled car in 2025ish. As by the time your COE ends, the resell value of your petrol fueled vehicle might be significantly lower as EVs are already on the rise to comply with Singapore Green Plan. With that being said, coming from an investment point of view, I would highly suggest getting an EV as soon as the market for these vehicles are more affordable and accessible. For now, a petrol fueled car will suffice.
