Bicolor 5th Gear March 21, 2017 Share March 21, 2017 Yes, they're really cheap. However, as you already know, the parking costs can be a killer, depending on where you live. I live out in the New Territories, a fairly rural area, but the one indoor carpark near my place has increased the monthly rate from SG$250+ per month to a whopping SG$450 per month. That's one reason why I sold my first Cedric. Did not want to spend so much on parking, especially when I don't live there all the time any more. The next cheapest carpark is still about SG$180 per month, but the ground is terrible, it is 10 minutes from my place so there's no way I can reach the car in bad weather, and on top of that, you need to leave one set of keys with the security so they can move it around if need be. The trick that many of us use there is to park it in a few free carparks out in the countryside. These are meant for visitors to barbecue sites or country parks, and though the rule is that you cannot park in one spot for more than 24 hours, the police do check, but only every few days, so if you drive every day you are safe (they use chalk on your wheels so they'll know if you moved or not). Now I only have one car left, the Mazda 323, so my friend uses it and pays for his own parking as well as maintenance when I'm away. When I bought my second Cedric, I lent it to this friend while I was away, and parked the 323 back at the free carpark nearest to my place. I left the keys with another friend, a taxi driver, who kindly moved the car for me every day simply from one lot to another while warming his car up. So ever since selling my first Cedric, I haven't paid any monthly parking for more than 2 years. cars are really cheap in HK. How do you deal with parking cost? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

R32 4th Gear March 21, 2017 Share March 21, 2017 My current car in Singapore. Saved up close to 9 years for this, and renewed the COE last year. Will keep this car for as long as I can; already saving towards the next COE! evo.jpg http://www.sgcarmart.com/used_cars/info.php?ID=406418&DL=1177 Probably your car - props for swallowing the massive PARF forfeit when you renewed the old girl. It looks great and very close to, if not completely original. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks great and very close to, if not completely original. Yes, that's my car indeed, lol! It was very close to stock except for an open pod intake and the side skirts and front lip. To my surprise it was nearly as quiet as any normal 1.6 saloon when I first got it! I guess I was really fortunate, as it has been highly reliable and trouble free except for normal wear and tear. Just had a closer look at yours, the outlook seems very much original and well kept too! Edited March 21, 2017 by Bicolor Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benarsenal Turbocharged March 21, 2017 Share March 21, 2017 This is the car the let me experienced trouble free motoring, I like it so much that I changed it to another Mitsubishi after 1.5 years to the Airtrek. Both are totally problem free during the time I have them. The worst cars I had were Opel Corsa, Vectra and Hyundai Coupe. Yeah, my Lancer was mostly quite reliable as well. Here's my current car: 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
