Loki Supersonic December 16, 2011 Share December 16, 2011 My first car was my cheapest car ever. In 1993, bought a 9 year old Subaru 700 for $10,500. No COE then. Use for one year and scrapped it, got back $9800 in scrap value. $700 depreciation for one year's use. Then bought another exact same Subaru 700, 9 year old too. Another $700 use for one year car. After that, went overseas for 3 years, came back in 1997, bought a 1l Nissan March brand new. Wah lau, $72k !! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamesc Hypersonic December 16, 2011 Share December 16, 2011 My first car was those paddle by leg power cars. The faster you paddle the faster you went. I loved it, went all around the house in it. Never got out of it. Never bothered to wash or polish it cos made of plastic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MG_Myvi 1st Gear December 16, 2011 Share December 16, 2011 (edited) As time goes by...car by car... The more I don't do anything much on my car as in mod or accessories...keep it as stock as possible. But I do spend more on paint protection and grooming Edited December 16, 2011 by MG_Myvi Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your car 4 year old only, confirm still good and reliable. Many people say COE will drop in 2015 ma, so your latio sport would not be your last car.
