All adults. Yes, let them commit financial suicide. No one force them to walk into the dealership and sign on the dotted line. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
macrosszero Turbocharged January 24, 2021 Share January 24, 2021 5 hours ago, Hamburger said: Saying is easy but to be prudent really takes discipline. I love the gen 4 sorento and I could afford it by taking up a 50k loan. But decided to just buy a few years old gen 3/ with AD warranty with cash and be debt free. That feeling outweighs the thrill of driving a new car for me. But that's just me and not for anyone. I took loan even though can full cash because the finance rebate let me put the proceeds from the loan into a FD that earned me a few hundred dollars more at the end of the loan lock out period. But if you need a loan to afford the car you want then you must really consider the stability of your income. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferrytales 4th Gear January 24, 2021 Author Share January 24, 2021 Taking a loan is fine esp with the low i/r now with some ADs offering 1.88%. The problem is over leveraging and getting burnt in the end. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesc Hypersonic January 24, 2021 Share January 24, 2021 TS started a thread to tell us cars are expensive in Singapore. Who knew? What next? He will start a thread to tell us housing is also sibei expensive? Why don't he tell us something we don't know? Singapore has the world's Most Expensive Vending Machine. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Datsun366 Turbocharged January 24, 2021 Share January 24, 2021 Its true about housing and cars in Singapore. I dare say that when property owning ability is achieved, owning a car is doable. Going the other way around, car then property is not wise. Even for property owners. Preferably more than one property then get a car would be better route.

Comage 5th Gear January 24, 2021 Share January 24, 2021 Gents, I think let's not forget that many people these days get a new car, and then.... "slap on" the PHV label and voila! - you have it - a car that "pays for itself"! Wow! Now all I gotta do is head out and pick up a few fares by driving for a few hours each day after dinner with the family...! And I can own a Merc/Audi/BMW! Just, wow! 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zxcvb Turbocharged January 24, 2021 Share January 24, 2021 Actually there’s a life hack I want to share with you all. It’s called - SAVINGS. Example you want to buy the current Corolla Altis today but found out you don’t have much cash to deposit and you don’t want to take huge loan although you can well afford the installment. I’d suggest start saving for the next 3 years to get that next generation of Altis. Applicable to first time car buyer who just started work. Dont be stupid take $0 drive away 10years loan. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
