Someone pls explain to me...

[Nutsack]

... the rationality behind having a red plate (OPC) white Porsche Cayman.

 

I saw a white Porshe Cayman with a red plate. And I'm a little puzzled as to... Why?

 

Why can't the owner simply buy a slightly cheaper can and have a regular plate. Than to buy a slightly more expensive Cayman and get some savings back by having a red plate?

 

There are SLKs, 370z, Audi TTs... it'd be the same px as a red plate Cayman, only you have a regular plate?

 

I know there are reasons why, but they don't make sense to me.

 

Am I the only one who feels puzzled and "????!!" when I see a red plate Alfa GT, or Cayman or BMW 335? To save that measly <20k? Why not save more and buy a cheaper car?

 

[crazy]

 

Anyone else with similar sightings and/or opinions?

[RadX]

eh shhhh...

 

maybe ah long lah...or one of his few cars....and wife restrict his usage

Why not if that is his wkend/nite mistress?

If the owner has another car which he is using for his daily commuting, and the Porsche Cayman is only for fun driving during off peak periods, I think it makes perfect sense to register it as a red plate. 17k might not be a huge amount to him, but it's still saving.

imagine he has 10 red plate cars....saving of $200k...can buy another car

 

[Ichibawa]

That is his toy car...

[Wensong]

spare car mostly.... cheaper road tax too since he not driving that to work daily....

[Relagsingh]

eh shhhh...

to be honest i'm pretty baffled by this as well.

I suspect he uses it for nights oni lah...and actually, if short term, and he daily pay $20, a year only $6000, Can use car for 3 years or or less...and ultimately still cheaper

[Unfair]

You will not become rich if you spend $$$ like that.

 

17k + road tax saved is still $$$.

 

Rich pple are mostly penny pinchers

 

My granddad was a multi millionaire, but he still took the bus here and there

Told you not to drive your car out, not you have nutsack in a blur on why did so with a red plate.

 

One true story, a certain boss of a security company, owns a Rolls Royce,

registers it OPC, have his driver drive him to work before 7am, parks it in OCBC,

then the driver takes the train back to his home to drive his wife around in a Japanese car,

and returns after 7pm to drive the RR with him home.

 

People in the know, will know whop I'm talking about.

[Carbonfac3d]

Why pay the gahmen extra if you can pay less???????He is a smart person who knows the value of money and that is for sure one of his few cars in his garage.

*Smart people make more $$

Thats why they become richer..by spending moneny smartly and wisely . Think like a rich business man.

Maybe it really is weekend car. He's got a bentley/s500/760i/quattroporte/panamera as his 'work car'.

 

[Chongster]

i think it makes perfect sense.

so long as you are not a regular driver for whatever reason, red plate is the way forward.

trying to own a car when you cant really afford it is the thing that doesn't make sense, whether red plate or black plate.

[Thargor]

I think the owner likes the colour combi.....White and red. He doesnt care about paying extra while driving during peak hours.

I have a red plate C-class.

 

i dont drive on normal days and I have another car so thats why the red plate
