I give up owning a car liao...

[Cerano]

I remembered there was a period I was not owning a car,I saved $1500 every month.

 

This is as good as a short vacation nearby every month...

 

id rather have a car than go for vacations

[Vinceyeo]

i find that as one gets matured and has a family, you will start to consider for your own retirement and savings for the children

 

as long as you can live with the 'efficient' public transport, or perhaps a small car to move around, then i think it should be ok

 

i mean, why should we pay the exorbidant taxes to the garment?

 

in the USA, a Toyota Camry only cost US$20,000. But in SG, it cost US$60,000 (or more now).

 

so why should we pay 200% taxes to own the damn car for only 10 years?

 

bro didnt you read the memo? We are just a tiny red dot... how to compare against the US of A...

In large country, w/o wheels, you could hardly move around unless you're in big city..

If you work for cheapo coy which want you to buy car for work related travel, you better think thrice!!!!

 

Well thought and sensible for TS!

[7007]

boss say wan give me interest free loan but he neber say details like pay back in how many yrs

[Fuelsaver]

relacker,

I respect your maturity, if only Danielgsx is as sensible as you.

Buying the 2nd most expensive thing after the house requires alot of planning.

So many pple got burned and some got their car repo, and some worse still, thinking to declare bankrupt - bcz of car.

I read all these in MCF.

 

Be patient. If you still aspire to own one, plan your budget and save to at least 30% DP

all the best

 

bro i think he can full settle liao..

[Fuelsaver]

[Ferraricalifornia]

it's getting really tiring to drive from one point to another in singapore...

 

or maybe i'm just pure lazy when it comes to driving...

 

no chance to go fast now...drive for what???

 

would rather invest my money in SMRT and pay the train operator money to get me to where i want to go...

 

cheers!!!

i believe car population may reduce a little if the current COE persist and continue moving upwards. i think most of the COE car owners will give up renewing COE, some may give up driving. it will also deter new car buyers especially those marginal car owners. Some people may even take the opportunity to sell their cars away to minimize losses.

 

btw TS, i would say its a wise move especially if you are not a car lover, its hard to justify spending so much on a car.

 

 

gd pt, but how to make a car lover not love cars anymore? anyone?

[Stary]

Just try to love other things....or just think that car is an A to B thing..nothing much else.

 

Or think of the $$$ you gonna waste for loving cars in Spore.

 

I love cars, but no way in hell I am going to waste $$$ on cars.

 

 

[Beyondaction]

Now 2nd hand car oso more dx, some even more ex than the actual selling price for cars 1 yr ago. Not wise to buy car at all now. Yes, COE works!! For those who are not cash rich...ha..,

[Davc]

Last time, high price high rebate when scrap.

 

Now, high price low rebate when scrap.

 

Where the money has gone?

I LOVE CAR but i will not let a car own me instead

[Chiangauto]

I heard many ppl said that.really smart decision.only time for making profit.

[Edwinccs]

Shall we try, don't buy new cars???????

[Genie47]

Actually the best time for anyone to own a brand new car when they don't have a car in the first place was last year.

 

I would say the best time to buy a brand new car was last year.

 

Now COE has rocketed upwards, you missed the boat. Forget about buying a brand new car now.

 

Let the others be the fools and get their cars now.

Totallly agree.

 

If one really needs to own a car, please buy one within your mean.

Aspiration is one thing, must be practical.
