Tuna_seng Clutched March 7, 2012 Share March 7, 2012 "7777" famous car in Sg? No idea bro. 1st Alfa was a used 156 I bought in 2000 while studying in London. 2nd was a new 147 when I moved to DXB. Man... Why not a chromed SLR in Dubai? Heard cars are dirt cheap there and the fuel is even cheaper. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ins1dious Turbocharged March 7, 2012 Share March 7, 2012 (edited) Man... Why not a chromed SLR in Dubai? Heard cars are dirt cheap there and the fuel is even cheaper. Cars are cheap there. A good rule of thumb I found (when the COE was 15k here) was to just substitute the SGD with AED. My wife's lil bro is planning on getting the new A8. Told me the price now is 299k AED. Exchange rate is about 2.9. So that brand new A8 with 5 years 100km warranty is about 100k SGD. Road tax for that is about 800-1000AED. Insurance for him will be about 2.5k AED. He's 28. So why did I get the 147 Selespeed as 1st car? Was a good Ramdan deal. This was in 2000. Just moved there after i finished post-grad degree. Not much money. Got it with 5 years service and warranty at that time for 65kAED. Sold it 2 years later for 50k as the car was/is a slow seller and is rare. Got a S60 T5 for 110k. Used it for 6 months and found a used 540i for 120k. It had done 3k kms. Had 16-way "comfort" seats (the most uncomfortable I'd ever come across), active steering etc etc... The list is pretty long as it was pretty common for me to change a car every year or so. But somehow I never got the exotics. Probably because all of the cars I got had a semblance of family use. Anything else and the extended family (and there's a huuuugggeeeee clan there) will be looking askance. a chromed SLR max I can get away buyin over there would be like a SLK/350Z class car. Anything more and the gossip will be too much to handle. Edited March 7, 2012 by Habeebhashim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roh96 6th Gear March 7, 2012 Share March 7, 2012 Wah so many cars are nominated for the 'ugly' award. Interesting... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinturbo Neutral Newbie March 7, 2012 Share March 7, 2012 Jag's XF and XJ are good looking cars as well. And they really upped their reliability. Still don't see them as often as the bnb Audi, BMW and Merc. So many other factors come into play I think. But yea... when buying cars, most buyers first consideration is how it looks outside, then sit inside and poke the interior. Then check rear seat space, boot space etc. Only then look at SE for test drive. Not always necessarily in this order... I'm a fanboy of only 1 brand :) whether computers, cameras etc., there's only 1 brand that I bought twice based on looks... Alfa... there's just something about an Alfa. Jag sales are breaking sales record at Wearnes. You see them more in the roads than ever in the past. Will not have so many like BMW Audi because cheapest smelly smelly oso 200k+.

Jamesc Hypersonic March 7, 2012 Share March 7, 2012 (edited) I think people are free to buy any car they like. But does the owner ever look in the mirror and say I am ugly but never mind people will like me bcos my car is beautiful! Sometimes one is to compensate for lacking in the other!

Viceroymenthol 6th Gear March 7, 2012 Share March 7, 2012 I like cars with a fat ass. Reminds me of the wife. Just kidding she doesn't have it in case she is reading. Fat ass is ok. Just make sure the exhaust is not too big. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KARTer 2nd Gear March 8, 2012 Share March 8, 2012 (edited) No worries, people say ugly no use one. If you find it beautiful ok liao. come to think of it, a good looking car attracks more than one glance from others, or maybe even attrack "staring".... this could cause distractions / accidents Edited March 8, 2012 by KARTer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
