Yuan 6th Gear March 17, 2012 Share March 17, 2012 The cost from 1 servicing schedule does not paint the accurate picture of the overall cost maintanence. The most accurate method is to accumulate all servicing/repair costs from day 1 till let's say 200k - 400k of mileage and we'll see who's the real winner. Agree with what you say. A holistic approach. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krieger 5th Gear March 17, 2012 Share March 17, 2012 bro , this is clearly not cash flow issue. for you i believe you can easily fork out the money for servicing right in whatever make you are driving right? It's not a matter of hao lian or not, but seriously one should always spend withins one means.

I know of someone earning 1m+ per annum but could not afford a 3k instalment.. I had to repo his ferrari... You feel is cannot afford or cahsflow?

Kiadaw 6th Gear March 17, 2012 Share March 17, 2012 My ex landlady own 3 BMW, I m nor even sure I m older than them. They still work as I sit in one before as she took me to the city once with it. I have also known a collegue that has a bummer that is about 15 years old, & yes I sat in it as went. Not much issue also. The Germans do know a thing or 2 about making good engines. Not only that, their cars aged much better than most. A proper maintain e30 or e46 still good good even today. As much as people thank cars like BMW are just the badge, leather & stuffing more gadget tha your typical car, the real star is the engine & the ensuring handling. Just say you have to drive one to judge leh. I don't drive a bimmer, but a similar class Audi a few months ago, & I can now understand why these German marques are so well loved worldwide. Now its hard to go back to Japanese cars anymore, other than maybe the Gtr for a weekend getaway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detach8 5th Gear March 17, 2012 Share March 17, 2012 Agreed on the aging part. If any of you cynics have an opportunity just go test drive a 20 yr old BMW E30 316 or 318. A BMW will always be a BMW. The way it drives... a new Civic may be more powerful, but it will never drive like a BMW. Don't need to argue, just go test one... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably wanted to change car and repo is cheaper den selling + clear loan. That is what my dad's fren did. Purposely don't pay loan let credit coy repo. 3 mths later COE spike and he can earn by selling due to increase in price. He went down to credit coy. Make 3 mth payment. Take back car. Sell within 2 weeks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
