Vinceng Turbocharged July 3, 2019 Share July 3, 2019 I also find it rather amusing that people can spend $78K (Off Peak Car) for a 1.6l Honda Civic or Toyota Altis, and occasionally buy that $20 daily coupon to drive outside the restricted hours, when they could have paid a mere $75K for a normal plate 1.6l Kia Cerato or Hyundai Avante, and save all the hassle. Ever even seen an Audi A3 and Mercedes A Class with red plate costing a 6 figure sum. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ever even seen an Audi A3 and Mercedes A Class with red plate costing a 6 figure sum. I am one of those conti red plate drivers. I don’t drive to work as I work in the Financial centre and live on top of an MRT station just a few stops away. It is faster and more convenient for me to get on a train and into office, door to door in less than 15minutes this way. No erp, no $500 season parking and no rush hour jam. A car is useful during the weekends with family and certain evenings. I buy a conti car I would enjoy driving, and for the luxurious interior. Different strokes for different folks. It’s not about the dollars and cents. If not every car on the road would be a attrage/note. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I told my kids we will upgrade to a Lamborghini in the future but I still think a sedan will be more comfortable for our afterlife. Hopefully there will be no COE and ERP down there.

Alfc 5th Gear July 4, 2019 Share July 4, 2019 There are couple of "flaws" when you use pure numbers on cost of driving. 1. The qualitative benefits as mentioned by others such as convenience, privacy, control, even status etc has a price to it. Different people different circumstances different value. Just think dynamic pricing. 2. These cost or benefits are shared by not just the owner but also the family that benefitted from it. So spread it out if it can be done 3. Even if don't drive, one would have taken public transport. So there is still money spent on transport, which will be higher if the spent is on taxis and grab. Hence net difference between having own car is lesser Otherwise, walking is the best. FOC Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinceng Turbocharged July 5, 2019 Share July 5, 2019 If you need or want a car, just buy if it's within your means. No point to save and save. You only live once. No matter how you save, Ah Gong the O'mighty will suck your money dry in a way or another. - HDB season parking increase - Hourly parking increase - Satellite road pricing coming your way - Petrol excise duty increase Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
