It's no longer that expensive to maintain, in fact it's downright affordable. Imagine this, 6 years ago, it used to be about $70k after the COE was renewed. Two years later it dropped to $48k thereabouts. When I bought it two years ago, it cost $23k. One of my friends bought one about a month back for $16k, about 4 years to run. Some feedback I got from the watering hole was about $29k for one with a brand new COE but about 18-19 years old
