Cars for Weekend

[Fedex67]

Hi all,

 

I used to own a weekend and a COE car.

 

Heavy usage on weekend and no usage on weekdays.

 

What are the options i have ?

 

1) Buy a new OPC Car? 

2) Buy a 2nd Hand OPC Car?

3) Rent a car long term (weekend) only?

4) Sign up Tribe Car, Car Club, Moove ?  

 

Regards

If go by cost, being a OPC & COE car owner before, I got the answer already.

Yes, have been an active users. Ditch Car Club and move to Tribe.

If we are not touch and go but park and play, the number of hours + mileage, the cost can be more expensive than a daily rental car.

Ofo ftw.

now that COE is cheap.

 

Its a great idea to own OPC/Weekends cars once again.

 

I am thinking of the Suzuki Jimny.

The main difference between car sharing and daily rental car is that for daily rental car most likely one may need to make a trip down just to collect the car. If car sharing services (eg carclub got quite a lot of collection points at car parks) is available at your neighbourhood, it will be a better option than daily rental car.

Are you sure you can tahan primitive interior?

It is better to use public transport and take taxi/Grab occasionally if the usage of a private car is low.

 

I enjoy taking public transport (during off-peak hours) for the freedom and relatively ultra low fares when I send my car for servicing.

 

Unfortunately, I need my car for work, which is why I'm still owning one.
