Why are the cars so Cheap?  "Is there a catch?"

COE - Certificate of Entitlement. ( http://www.lta.gov.sg )  For every car on the road the owner need to bid for a certificate which allow the owner to drive the car on the road for 10years.  Due to the fluctuation  of this certificate car owner at certain time is better off to sell their car and get a rebate from this COE and buy a new car.

As a result these cars have to be exported if not within a very short period of time the car must be scrap. Therefore the car are being export at very low prices even though the car are still in very good conditions.

Here is a section from the UK government rules on imports - you see the "type approval" is the key

VEHICLES UP TO 10 YEARS OLD AND NOT TYPE-APPROVED FOR THE EUROPEAN UNION OR GREAT BRITAIN
You should first consult the manufacturer or his agent to establish the design and construction pedigree of the vehicle. If the car was built to a British or European type-approval specification, please follow the procedure in Section 2.2 .
If the car is not to a British or European Type Approval specification, you can only proceed if the vehicle meets, or is modified to meet, technical standards broadly comparable with those of European type approval
Single Vehicle Approval
Your vehicle will then have to pass a Single Vehicle Approval (SVA) inspection of its design and construction before it can be registered and licensed. A vehicle that passes will be issued with a Minister's Approval Certificate, which you will need to present to license and register it. If your vehicle is 3 or more years old it will also have to pass the normal "MoT" roadworthiness test prior to licensing & registration.
Since 1.8.01 there have been two levels of SVA: standard and enhanced . Standard SVA will be applied in cases where the number of affected vehicles is expected to be low and we can accept that the very demanding safety and environmental standards of type approval will not be undermined. The enhanced inspection (ESVA) will be applied in other cases - i.e. where the number of vehicles entering service warrants a more thorough inspection. Further advice is given in free leaflet SVA4, which can also be seen on the DTLR web site.
Enhanced SVA will be required for the majority of non type-approved imports (whether imported by individuals privately or for any commercial reason).
Standard SVA will be retained only for the following main categories of imported vehicle 1 :
·       Any "personally imported" vehicle as re-defined below
·       Any left-hand drive vehicle
At 1 August 2001 the Standard SVA inspection for cars and dual-purpose vehicles costs £150 and for goods vehicles (including bi-purpose vehicles) £60. For ESVA the basic fees are £180 and £90 respectively you might have to pay more for independent tests if you do not have all the required information for your vehicle. Special rates apply for re-tests and other circumstances. Please
