Roh96 6th Gear April 14, 2011 Share April 14, 2011 Brand new Jap cars are selling in the range of $80K plus to $90K plus now. So 6 yrs old Jap car going for 30K+ is quite normal, slightly less than 50% of new car price. In current market, don't expect to find cars selling at paper + body value. No choice.

Rongshu Neutral Newbie April 15, 2011 Share April 15, 2011 I feel like used car priced according to new car price in the sense of yearly depreciation. Therefore I find it is not worth to buy used car at this moment. Of course buying used car saves loan interests and less down payment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proton_neutron 1st Gear April 15, 2011 Share April 15, 2011 Anyways, with so many cars on the limited roads we have, I think we can say bye-bye to low COE's of yester-years. Affordable motoring can only be done via more than 5yrs old 2nd hand buys. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first car cost $430, my second was $1,790, my third was $4,900, my forth was $12,750, my fifth was $1,310, my sixth was $69,500 - guess where I bought my sixth Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pisces69 6th Gear April 15, 2011 Share April 15, 2011 Get a big bike =) Class 2 license, probably get the BMW GS1200 =) ER.....No lah. I get the bike just to use fr transport till I get a car in a couple of years time. I dont want to get a bike which cost as much as a 2nd hand car. Then when want to buy car, got no $$$. Just a 200-400cc bike sud b more than enough fr my needs in SG. I already hv a class 2 licence cos b4 I drive, I used to ride bikes. If I get a cheap simple bike, I can keep it n wil hv a car n bike to use depending on where I go n what I doing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
