Elfenstar 3rd Gear November 21, 2009 Share November 21, 2009 Er.. Indeed my salary has a car component to it. Which will be a waste if I did not utilize it for changing car. My SSS petrol + installment is only half of the allowable claims. So thinking of making my boss happy and yet fully utilize the car allowance fully. There is no rebate each month if I never maximized it, it's like not taking the variable part of the salary which is stupid in my opinion. Of course my intention is to get opinion on the car. Not about my salary scale. But then it's hard for others to understand my intention when the full reasons are not revealed. Which is why I am ok with the various comments, can't expect too much. If the new car is going to be under the company's name then yes, go for it. If its going to be under your name, then higgsbosom is right. Stick with what you have. If you must change, make sure that you won't be paying more for any longer than what you would if you kept your SSS. This way if you get fired, retrenched, or just want to leave (for e.g. to pursue your masters) then you won't be paying more than what you would already have to. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leepee 1st Gear November 22, 2009 Author Share November 22, 2009 Ok I understand the part about not getting tied down. But if the car benefits component can cover the instalmment of the Q5, there is no loss to me. Even if I am sacked, the most I sell away the car IF I can't pay the installment anymore. There is actually not much cons isn't it? Yes... this is 1 of the boss's strategies to tie u down... on the bright side, maybe u r indispensable or performing well thats y ur boss wans to do that to u.

Jadeband Neutral Newbie November 22, 2009 Share November 22, 2009 I always wonder how do company re-imburse for private car purchased? I know some companies pay for their privately registered cars. 1 that my friend work in has 20+ cars all registered under personal names. All fully paid and they get to change new model every 3 years stays in the company. i thought privately registered cars are not expendable? Er.. Indeed my salary has a car component to it. Which will be a waste if I did not utilize it for changing car. My SSS petrol + installment is only half of the allowable claims.

There is actually not much cons isn't it? Hmm. But it seems like your car allowance doesn't pay for your car's downpayment. Assuming uu took a loan with 30% downpayment, you have to pay 30% * $167 400 = $50 220. <----- where does this $$ come from?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
