Thanks You should be spoilt for choice. Are you looking at a hatch or sedan? If the former, you've the jazz/fit, yaris, march, swift, terios, etc. Personally from this bunch I like the march. V.comfy and well specced. If she prefers something even easier to park, there's the mitsubishi i, esp good for loading groceries in the boot as the floor height is quite high so she doesn't need to bend, great visibility, frugal but with poke.

Nodtviedt 2nd Gear December 2, 2012 Share December 2, 2012 Most people will tell you to get the Honda Jazz. Agree.. I'm one of the most people too but then again.. 07-08 versions of Jazz/Fit? (GD or something).. not exactly the right fit. With your budget, I would have gone for either Latio or Mazda 3 for comfort and space. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vhtfhwlego Supercharged December 3, 2012 Share December 3, 2012 (edited) I scrolled First 10 Pages... In general, most cars cost about S$6500 per year. Cars nothing special expect maybe Mit I (Cute/Not "That" Safe)... Airwave known for space but do you really need that much space???? Model / Depreciations. Yaris / 6968 March / 6672 C1 / 5917~6289 C4 / 5668 307 / 6775 MZ2 / 6836 MZ6 / 6941 Megane 1.6 / 6591 Megane 2.0 / 6289 Airwave/ 7102 IST / 6728 Materia / 7208 Mit I / 6651 If that I'm you, I would look for a 2004 car at 25/28K budget. For example, Beetle asking for 28800 with depreciation of 9056. Ask for $3K discount & depreciation would be S$7073. Outlander 28800 @ 7839. Ask for $2.8K discount = 6378. You should source for older car as in general, people take loans. They would rather pay of +1K for a newer car therefore dealers have a limited source of customers. And they have limited source, knowing people will ask for Edited December 3, 2012 by Vhtfhwlego Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Lol, how you define small car? 1.0L car or hatchback or 1.4L small sedan?! If you are looking for 07/08 under $40K, i would suggest jazz/picanto if you are looking for hatchback, or latio if you are looking for sedan.

Passion 5th Gear December 3, 2012 Share December 3, 2012 Bro, are you looking at off peak car? Now quite tough to find below 40k and Japanese make. Unless you don't mind Korean, then probably there is chance of finding one. Else, it has to be OPC else below 40k can't get jazz or fit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
macrosszero Turbocharged December 3, 2012 Share December 3, 2012 Two cars not mentioned: Mitsubishi Colt (Version R if you see yourself driving it at times) Daihatsu Sirion very well spec-ed - Singaporeans are badge snobs so it doesn't have a strong resale.
