Re: BMW 2011 Prices (in China)
Thanks Motokai for the info, but let me check if I got this right : the current price for Shanghai plates is RMB 47,700 this month, up RMB 300 from last month, right ?
It's strange, one of the Chinese driver in my company told me very recently that the Shanghai plates were around RMB 50,000 this month...

This article mentions "second-hand car plate prices already surpassed 50,000 yuan after both prices reached the highest since January 2008."

Re: BMW 2011 Prices (in China)
Do I understand this about Shanghai correctly?
The government auctions off new car plates (47,700) but if you are not successful, and buy a car plate through the secondary market (private <-> private), it will be > 50,000?
Also, it is my understanding that motorcycle plates are not auctioned, and must be purchased through the secondary market? And because there are fewer of the special bike plates, these are more expensive?
Is that correct?
Re: BMW 2011 Prices (in China)
Here's the deal: Motorcycle plates trade exclusively in the secondary market, while car plates trade in both the secondary and auction markets, because each month the government issues a batch of new car plates. So if there are more car buyers than there are plates auctioned, the secondary market kicks into gear and prices rise. Because motorcycle plates can be transfered to cars (while car plates canNOT be transfered to bikes), bike plates in the secondary market tend to track the current auction price for car plates, with a possible premium.
Again, there are NO (zero, zilch, nada) new motorcycle plates being issued, so the ONLY motorcycle plates available are those being sold off bikes that are being 淘汰'd -- i.e., removed from circulation.
It's not a pretty picture. In effect, the number of plates available for motorcycles is fixed, and presumably decreasing. So prices will always be at least that of the current car auction price, if not higher. So far, there are sufficient numbers of taotai plates coming into the market, so bike plate prices are not skyrocketing. But that could change. Strange as it seems, a bike plate is probably a very good investment right now. I bought mine for 42k a year ago, and now it's pushing 50k. As a motorcyclist, that does not delight me, but as an investor I'm feeling OK.
cheers
Re: BMW 2011 Prices (in China)
Thanks Mr Euph.
For cars, does the SH government auction the same number each month, or does the quantity of new plates issued change from month to month?
Also, is it the same for the "C" bike plates? A fixed number through the secondary market? No new "C" plates for bikes?
Tx.
Re: BMW 2011 Prices (in China)
Dear LJH,
To my knowledge no new bike plates, A or C, have been issued in shanghai for years. I've asked several sources. And because bike plates can be transferred to a car, it's certainly a shrinking resource. Car plates are issued in limited batches every month, and the quantity is determined by some cryptic formula. Last November there was a big batch and the auction price plummeted to ten or fifteen grand, which had the knock-on effect of driving bike plates down in the secondary market -- creating some stress for those of us who paid full freight. Nice lottery win for the few who scored these plates, since the price leapt back over 40k the next month.
As I've said, I'd be delighted to see all the illegal bikes cleared from the streets, while we legal riders finally get some acceptance and respect. Life isn't fair but who ordained that everyone has a right to ride/drive a death trap putting everyone at risk?
Cheers!
