Car license number advise

[Racebred]

Guys, I have a car license number which is being retained after I sold my last car, which I intend to keep. The 1 year free retention period is coming up in july, after which it will cost me 1k every 6 months to keep it alive.

I'm thinking, if there is a cheaper alternative to keep the car plate for say another 2-4years, at less than 2k per annum. The cheapest car I can find on sgcarmart is a weekend picanto and it costs 8.8k already. not worth it. Are there any dirt cheap cars that i can slap the plate on and leave on my backyard? Perhaps also apply for laying up of the car from LTA?

any suggestions?

knn terry...

did some more web searching.. seems like there may be a solution. what do you guys think.

buy a 2006 chery qq 0.8M OPC for say 6k. road tax is negligable, and so is transfer fee. 3rd party insurance is about 600-800. So, total cost is 10k for next 5 years. The car will never be serviced or maintained ever again. So cost wise, it is the same as me renewing my plate for another 5 years, plus, i get extra car to drive to sunday meetups. I will however need to spend $1300 x 2 to transfer the plate.

Also, I get to grow my ncd for the next 5 years to a full 50%. Which will help when I buy my 2016 Aventador LP-1000. If i wanna save more money, I can lay up my vehicle by paying $5.35 to LTA and be insurance and road tax exempt for a maximum of 3 years. I can also get COE rebate for this 3 years (but I'm not sure if OPC got COE or not. Got or not ah?) But this will only be feasible if I am holding onto the plate for a minimum 5 years, which is alright by me.

I will park the car in my garden and attempt to grow a tree in it. Anything I havent considered in this exercise? If not tomorrow i go buy the car.

top up another $1,300 to retain another 1 year. From LTA website.
