Ditiang Neutral Newbie June 26, 2012 Share June 26, 2012 No I will not. As I prefer save a bit of money in the bank. What car you buy reflects who you are. It's up to you what car you want to buy cos the money is yours. Remember you must be comfortable with it. Having a car without restricting yourself from shopping, eating and tour oversea (optional) People who restrict themselves from shopping, eating, watching movie...ect just to own a car is just painful. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

13177 Hypersonic June 26, 2012 Share June 26, 2012 totally agreed.. the car should be a pleasure to have and not a burden to have and forgoing other quality of life My friend told me a car is a bonus rather than a must. So he never allow a car to be a burden to him, although car is a liability. Unless you full paid the car. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamesc Hypersonic June 26, 2012 Share June 26, 2012 you are joking right During times of high inflation, money loses its value very quickly so people should hold hard assets like cars and houses. Its only during times of deflation that people should hold cash instead of assets as the price of everything is falling fast. Simple economics.

Unless you full paid the car. whether a car is a liability or asset it all depend on how you write off the amount there are people who actually make money when sold the car after taking into consideration depreciate etc ... to me car ownership in singapore is no different from renting a car... just treat it as rental expenses... will feel better imagine MNC are paying expat transport allowance of $8K per month to rent a Audi A8 or Lexus ... these amount can pay for the car ownership but instead it is given to the rental company Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
