@PSP415 Just a 10 years old Car with 9 Years 5 Months to go...nope..i never went to view the Car,but the Dealer make the Car to almost "New," Condition.

Jialat 9 years 5 months more to test marriage. 

Hopefully, the friend may consider to cut losses, bite the bmw, I mean, bullet and let it go. Sure walletpain one but in life, things always happen for a purpose, perhaps, I value relationships more than material stuff, so I am biased. 

But again, it's his money and his wifey. 

Stay safe 

Cheers

So, the wifey wants to divorce him isit. 😅 

Frankly, just 4 months only, there is what?, another 4 years 8 months before COE expires or longer, how? Everytime big repair bill, divorce talks again? 

After 10k into repairs, the parting ways with car gets harder. 

Thumb of rule or rule of tummy, I mean, thumb is happy wifey happy man always never add very important information, hubby must have fat wallet too. 

Current COE, new Altis is a also big outlay, no face, I mean, no hefty repair bill and probably "better choice" since financially abit stretched. 

You no help him go thru the bmw ah before purchase ah? Why like that?

😅😅😂😂😂😂

Yada-ing. 

 

PS : not bad. From car catches fire thread to marriage catches fire from car. Tokkong

 

Maybe getting rid of that spouse and the BMW is a win win 😉

if want to buy 10 years of car normally its safe to buy Japanese COE cars since less tech loaded, lesser thing will go wrong ,lesser costs to repair and overhaul than contis especially the big 3 ( BMW/ mercs plus Audi).

Of cos trade off  is no badge appeal, pple still view COE BMW/Merc/ Audi > COE japanese cars 😑

After all in SInkapore, badge matters the most, who cares about specs 😁

I dont mind driving a Jap COE cars and cars with less tech loaded. Think best is to buy a Toyota. Lol.

People whack Toyotas for being less full featured, more costly, until the car they bought breaks down or catches fire... 

The four letter words they mutter won't be Audi or Merc then.... it might be the three letters most often used in the petrol threads instead...

 COE BMW 100k vs brand new 300k, with 200k in savings so still no budget for repair? 😂 

mine only $60k(COE plus PARF), sure can afford a lot of repair. Of course it is not fair and even an insult to compare with a $300k new car lah. 13 year old car is just a car, can start in the morning is already  a blessing, better dont compare too much. 🤣

 wah this is already a major revamped model, how can they not fix the old problem. Like the nice tail lights of this model, not many of this model  on the road, I am sure it is because of the price, not the oil leak🤣.

you will think that car has been around for more than 100 years already

and we are still dealing with fundamental things like oil leak 🤣
