I give up owning a car liao...

[relacker]

once coe shoot up above 20k, i give up owning a car.

 

for a person not yet hit even 5k/mth, no need to hit myself til chubby to be fat man.

 

wait for opportune time, maybe 1 yr maybe 10 yrs later. not bothered liao. but will still bio bio car adverts a bit.

 

anyway already thong for 8 yrs since i start work, i already very public transport person even though i in construction industry that usually easier when owning car , but i just LL, act blur when my boss say when i owning a car, i rather wait for him buy pickup then pay 30% of my salary on car

good choice.

 

most sensible route now.

 

use the money saved to do something else.

 

who knows, that sum of money may help you get out of the highly-squeezed middle income group.

Why don't you go for a 2nd hand car instead of a new one?

Hey, so COE does work!!

[Hp93868686]

For me , my company is paying for my car allowance which is enough to cover mthly overall... Been working for nearly five years and it will be fully paid up then after I will get to save the $ every month...

Exactly! That's what I'd do, or have been doing ever since I started driving! There are cars out there, interesting examples at that, which won't break the bank. In other words, there's a car for every budget, so this COE thing is nonsense! If I wanted a car but couldn't afford a new one because of the COE, why, I'd simply look for an interesting 2nd hand one and enjoy driving sans the high depreciation associated with new car ownership!

 

Anyway, to each his own. As long as you're happy can already

[Ultramega]

Thank you very much. Hope to see more people like u.

Perhaps u didnt realise it, but the COE thing did work on you. Cos it made u buy a 2nd hand car which is not an addition to the car population. So COE is not nonsense in your case.

Hmmm...I don't see it that way 'cos I'm still happily driving around COE will only help to reduce the number of new cars on the road, so with a very high COE figure, the car population is not gonna decrease, what's gonna happen is that we'll see more old cars on the road. Which to me, is a good thing 'cos I like old cars! Singaporeans change cars way to often anyway, our motoring heritage is lost in this way!

 

No doubt our streets are filled with nice, shiny new cars, but they're all souless, lacking in character. We do have a small population of classics, who fortunately are owned by enthusiasts commited to lifetime ownershp of their rides! With the hike in COEs, I hope to see more such vehices in the future!

[Riceracer]

Thank you very much for reducing road conjestion here. I hope many follow suit so our traffic can be smoother again.

Ask boss to pay more salary first then you can buy car mah.

[Saycheese78]

Car ownership cost a mth. $1200 -$1500 for small car.

If COE increase by $20k, car maintenance increase by $2k/year or $180/mth. 10-15% increase in maintenance cost.

Biggest fallacy in car ownership in Singapore is that we often only see the car cost and not the entire car ownership cost. sigh.

 

I do agree that $100+ a mth is important, thats why i try not to drive to work (cost $400+)
