Chewbacca 1st Gear May 31, 2010 Share May 31, 2010 Just got my second hand Camry, Jap made, 2.4. I would have gone for a smaller, more affordable car, but I've got a....'special' deal on this one. Heh. Well, actually, I've been driving my dad's Scirocco 1.4 over the weekend. He used my Camry instead. Discovered the pain of having a car. Went bug eyed when I parked in Esplanade and didn't know that the parking fee is $5.50. Heart skipped a bit when applying for 6 months HDB parking (nearly $600). Felt my blood slowly drain out of my body as I put in $50 worth of patrol. Well....I told myself, I'll be using this car (Camry) for 6 months. After that, then I'll decide if I really need a car.....if not, I'll just sell it off. I hope I really can make a logical decision after 6 months.... ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a logical decision would be to buy a smaller car. If not you will lost all your blood from pumping petrol alone.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boss, my deal sibe special ar. Aiya, to be honest, my dad was driving the camry. He switched to the Roc. So now I've bought over the Camry from him at a huge discount. But if I sell it off, I'll have to give him back all the 'profit' from the sale. If, by the end of the 6 months, I decided that I want a car, I'll pay him some more.

Chewbacca 1st Gear May 31, 2010 Author Share May 31, 2010 what have you been doing in MCF? you are SUPPOSE to be educated about cost of owning a car in this forum KNN lar! I know lar! But...psychologically, been trying to....deny it. Can't really deny it when I spend ~$3k for just the tax, insurance, parking, coupons, etc etc in under 2 weeks. Guuuuuuuuuuuh. Oh, well. I'm already very frugal. Most of my friends have been driving for 2-3 years already. During these times, I've been pumping money into investments instead. I think it's time for a car. Or at least, give it a try. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
