Hey bros out there ! I am sharing my experience. For those who plan to buy conti car like BMW or others. Used car i am referring to. Most people put this consideration in 1st piority when they decide to buy Big Car. 1. You can afford to make downpayment. 2. You can afford to pay monthly installment. 3. You can afford to pay insurance. 4. You can afford to pay road tax. In the road , you can see alot of Merc, BMW . These 2 are the most common in singapore which is affordable. Usually you make downpayment like $15k-$20 you can buy one 2000cc . In house-loan usually will accept. When people said high maintainance costs for conti car. It is true. In most cases, people can afford to purchase them but when problem kick in ... their pocket is burn a Huge hole and for many people cannot afford to pay for the repair/ replacement costs. Every CAR , problems kick in after 5years mark. every issue start coming in every year or so. Don't think that you won't be so sway / unlucky. This issues is the life span of those parts, is not you lucky or not. Problem can easily hit $3000 to over $10,000 repair costs. Gear Box issue most commonly ( huge costs ). Seriously you earn $10,000 - $20,000 per month , even you can afford to pay for the repairs. Is it worth it? For those who earn lower than this amount then good luck to you! According to my regular workshop boss , he told me that alot of people can afford to buy bmw or merc but when repair time come ..... they can't afford to pay the amount and end up selling it away. BMW compare to Merc benz , Merc benz is a better choice , they are much durable. BMW are not designed for long distance drive , like going to genting , kl ...etc Ofcourse you can drive but your parts worn out faster than you think ! I driven before Merc benz , BMW 3 series , 5 series , lexus and others. I have tested myself and my bmw came back singapore and straight back to my workshop for repair. If you need a luxury car , choose Lexus . When it come down to repair , I guarantee you that the repair costs compare to conti repair is a huge surprise for you ! Toyota lexus repair can use any other toyota parts which means is much much cheaper. GS350 model. 250 model not all parts suitable. Everyone understand Houses is Profit , Car is Loss . We need car , some need big some need small , no matter what we are trying to save as much as we can ! Drive Safe , Think Smart ! Enjoy guys ! Hope you like it !

Mercedes-Benz is completing the E-Class family with the introduction of a convertible model that will replace the outgoing CLK drop top. It will compete head on with the BMW 3-Series and Audi A5 cabriolets. Unique to the 2010 E-Class Convertible is a retractable wind spoiler located on top of the front windshield. Called an 'Aircap', the system works in conjunction with a rear deflector to help to direct wind over the passenger compartment. The convertible also gets an electrically operated fabric roof instead of a retractable hardtop. The entry level petrol lineup is the 184HP E200 CGI found in the latest E-Class Sedan. Other powerplants include the 204HP E250 CGI, the 292HP E350 CGI and the top-of-the line E 500 with a 388HP V8 engine. Cabriolet lovers in Singapore, get your cheque books ready!
