  2. Car loan interest rates in S'pore hit 2.78% after US Fed's latest hike SINGAPORE - On top of rising car prices that come with record prices for certificates of entitlement, buyers of new cars here now have to fork out even more for loans. Some banks and financial institutions have raised interest rates to 2.78 per cent. This is an increase of 0.5 percentage point from the 2.28 per cent interest rate reported in May. https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/transport/car-loan-interest-rates-in-spore-hit-278-after-us-feds-latest-hike

I'm not a young chap here, that's for sure, just by counting my cars I've owned would be suffice to determine my age group. Here goes, Daihatsu Charade Honda Civic esi Hyundai Accent Hyundai Getz Hyundai Avante Subaru WRX Hyundai Accent Next car, no plan, because no money. The only car that I didn't modified or played, is WRX, because it has all the power I wanted. I took it to the track once to experience the trill. I lost to all the Malaysian trackies.

So I love to tinker much just about anything, from broken toys to breaking toys when I am young, to photography and on recent many years ago I started to ditch the still pictures and move on to motion pictures ( filming ) as my long term passion. I approached several car magazines and Facebook pages to "beg" for a part time job and hopefully the small income can fund my passion and moving forward to be able to see if I can work on something in the video filming genre to gain more recognition. In person, I am very open minded and straight forward. I can be very blunt and honest in my opinion too. Due to my star sign. LOL. So my post sometimes carries a hate mail .. haha. I give my intro 10/10. Swee ! As to my nickname and logo..that's a twist .. Car Lover Guy or Carl Over Guy , you decide. T4 is the acronym for my Youtube channel which means The Terrible Terri Talks, four tees , thus T4 As for the nickname, It''s suppose to be the former, I not gay.

  6. I would like to ask the bro/sis here. Given a a choice. Would you prefer to work in a job you have more interest in it, knowledge but the boss is more micro manage and demanding OR a job with less interest, less knowledge in it but a reasonable and not so demanding boss. Assuming both job pay and benefit is the same. Which one u will choose and why?
  7. Hi all, I believe some of our bros here frequent JB quite often, be it for work or pleasure. I will be planning to head up north for a short shopping trip in JB with my family when time permits. Would appreciate if all could share some of your excellent 'lobangs' in JB! (best if can indicate on JB streetdirectory http://www.streetdirectory.com/malaysia/johor/ or GPS coordinates.) Thanks!
  8. Would like to seek the opinion and advise from knowledgeable expert here. Planning to get new car from a AD. The SE offered me a good deal but on the condition that I will have to take up a private car loan from Hitachi at interest of 2.78% rather than the in house loan of 2.5% interest from UOB. The SE promise that he will compensate the 0.28% of extra interest that I have to pay in term of cheque. With that it seems like I'm not losing out from anything since the extra interest from Hitachi will be compensated back to me. Am I missing out on anything? Is there something I have to look out for? Are there any risk in doing so? Would appreciate is people can provide some feedbacks and advice. Thanks!

  10. Gauging interest in folks interested in doing a drive trip to Hua Hin. It'll proabably be a week long trip (8 day utilising weekends at each end. Why not 9 days.....1 day for rest lah). Why 8 days..... 1.5 days drive up, 1.5 days drive back. You'll essentially be spending 5 nights there. The 2 missing nights are either in Penang or Hatyai for the stop-over. (no I'm not young enough to do a direct drive for those who prefer so) All costs on your own. All arrangements for lodgings on your own too (can recommend you booking sites like asiawebdirect, etc if you need info). Costs of lodgings aside...... estimated expenditure for the trip is like SGD1800 for a couple. (includes petrol, tolls, insurances, food and sight-seeing). This is only an estimate... you can do your sums should you prefer 5 star dining for every meal, buy loads of stuff, etc. Cost for tolls , petrol & insurance is ~ SGD900 for me. (my car is thirsty) Anyone interested?
  11. Hi Bro, Any way for better use of our money in the bank that earn so little interest? Pls share your idea to increase our money!!!
  12. Hi all, Anyone knows what is the car loan interest rate nowadays? Is it going up? Some PI tends to offer very attractive price but the interest rate like very high.
  13. Came across this link in my facebook. https://moolahsense.com/running-campaign.php?company=Beauty Clicked, and woots... a bond that promises 21% returns per year. And already raised 82% of its required capital?? My first thoughts... why does the company raising the funds want to give 21% interest? Loan sharks is only 24% afterall!! 2nd thoughts. Deal sounds too good to be true for the investors. Damn bloody risky. But with just a simple video and wall of text, they can get $200K? S'poreans money very easy to take.
  14. http://www.sgcarmart.com/news/review.php?AID=46 New clio, but lukewarm interest so far..anyone bought liao?
  15. OK, so I guess most people already know how a car loan of 2% HP rate equals to easily over 5% APR over a few years. But for mortgage loans in Singapore, the rate which the bank advertises, is the 'nominal' APR and not the effective APR correct? e.g. I understand most banks use the 'daily rest' method to compound mortgages? (correct me if I am wrong, which banks here use monthly rest?). So for a loan at nominal 5% APR but with daily compounding, it would say work out to about 5.13% effective APR. Am I right to say the APR quoted by the banks here for mortgages is the nominal and not the effective APR? Is there any MAS rules that says we can ask for the effective APR from the banks?
  16. I guess it's a matter of time. How much higher do you think it will go? I do not recall it being higher than 3% though but I am referring to AD rates.
  17. can consider switching over now since early bird promotion is only valid till 31 Oct. can get 6-month bonus interest of 1% p.a. on top of the base CDA interest rate. got more info here www.posb.com.sg/cda

  20. SINGAPORE: Interest rates in the US and in turn, Singapore, are likely to pick up over the next one to two years, said DBS CEO Piyush Gupta. This means now could be a particularly good time for borrowers to lock in loans at current interest rates. Borrowers can look at switching from floating to fixed rate loans, added Mr Gupta. But that is a hard appeal to make to Asian investors, who prefer not to fix their interest rates. "In Asia, pardon me, but most of us tend to be punters...Anecdotally, the easiest way to think about this - We go to the US, the most popular mortgage in the US is the 30-year fixed rate mortgage. In Asia, we at DBS tried pushing two years ago a 5-year fixed rate mortgage...almost no takers. So Asians don't like fixing, Asians don't like hedging," said Mr Gupta. "However, given where we are in terms of our view in the world and the fact that there's likely to be a steepening bias over 12, 24 months, I would suggest it might be worthwhile to think about it." Speaking at an event for his private bank clients, Mr Gupta also warned of risks brought about by over-borrowing in the Chinese economy. Total borrowing in the economy currently makes up 214% of GDP, up from 170% of GDP in the 2000s. Mr Gupta said: "It is not impossible that some small state-owned enterprises, some small regional banks go into an element of restructuring. "They won't let it go bankrupt but the restructuring might mean bail-in, might mean some creditors. And I think that will be part of this restructuring of the system over the next couple of years. "So my thoughts on China is - I don't think it will fall off a cliff, but since there will be winners and losers, you'd better be very thoughtful and careful about your selection of counterparties...who do you really do business with." Overall, Mr Gupta sees a "slow bias" in the economy in Asia. This is largely due to a restructuring in the Chinese economy, as policymakers opt for quality growth over high growth. "If China runs at 7 or 7.5% (full year GDP growth), I think it always spills over into our part of the world. There will be some volatility and up and down - Singapore surprised with the latest GDP number - but overall I really see a slow bias in the economy in this part of the world," said Mr Gupta. - CNA/ir http://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/busine...ent/745500.html
  21. The widely expected rise in interest rates for car buyers has materialised, since measures to restrict the amount and tenure of loans were introduced in March to cool the market. As of yesterday, DBS Bank remained the only bank sticking to the old rate of 1.88 per cent per annum. All the others have raised interest rates almost uniformly to 2.68 per cent since the first mover - believed to be Citibank - revised its rate upwards in March. The higher charges came after the Government announced measures in late February to cool the motor market, including restricting the loan amount to no more than 60 per cent of a car's purchase price, to be repaid in no more than five years.

  22. Is it true? Heard it will rise to 3.45% this Friday?
  23. Most bank is going to increase the interest rate to 2.28% by September. Forr those going to buy car better act fast.
