An insider from a workshop that specialises in car accident repair: Cars that crashed till insurance declare total write off are usually sent for scrap. But there’re workshops that buy them at paper value, which can be more than $30K or even $50K off market value. They cut/saw off the accident part, e.g. entire front and buy from scrap yard and weld it to the car. Then slowly repair the car and finally sell it back into the market, usually with a new registration number plate. Even previous owner cannot recognise. Really wonder how the car handles with a body that was welded using 2 car bodies. And all the OEM / compatible parts being used in the engine bay. If accident, I guess this car will crumple quite differently from the original build of the car. And the profit is quite good for the workshop when they eventually sell it at market value. They usually do this for cars with high margin e.g Lexus, Merc etc. Imagine the new owner who buys this type of cars, sure full of problems down the road. Buyers beware when a deal looks good, it could be one of such cars. And if everything in the engine bay looks brand new for an old car, you know something is amiss. Anyone suspect he/she has driven or bought such a car before?

Huh? Like this nia ... need to be written off? This was the moment a

Recently, I was invited to attend an interview. Before the meetup, I was asked to complete an online DISC test, followed by an on-site written interview test. Can some kind soul here please shed some light on what am I to expect for a typical written test/interview. Many thanks.

It is actually found in ST Forum which i tot Pro-Annuity. It seem like all are against it. http://www.straitstimes.com/ST%2BForum/Sto...ory_153046.html Rethink proposal for compulsory annuity ON THE proposed compulsory annuity, I would strongly urge the Government not to cross the fine line on CPF policy, so as to preserve Singaporeans' trust and faith. Like most Singaporeans, I have always regarded CPF money as my retirement nest egg and even if I could not touch this hard-earned money locked up in CPF by the Government until age 67, the money is still rightfully mine and should be disbursed to my next-of-kin when I die. But if the Government forces me to part with my money to buy an annuity which starts paying only at age 85 and the remaining money is not given back to my heir when I die, then I would view this as a very serious breach and abuse of my trust in the CPF system. Please take into consideration the intense feelings we have against mandatory measures like a compulsory annuity scheme. It is a double whammy: money is taken away from us without giving us a choice, and there is no refund to my family when I die. I don't think people will accept this. Dr Lim Boon Hee Some of the comments: Did $36 buy one a coffin lid in 1957? Can $360 buy one a coffin lid in 2007? Will the $3600 buy one a coffin lid in 2037? Also can we ask: Did $36 buy one 10 nights of hospital beds in 1957? Can $360 buy one 10 nights of hospital beds in 2007? Will the $3600 buy one 10 nights of hospital beds in 2037? Govt officials reading, please tell this to the MM. We don't want $3600 in cash 35 years later. We want it in kind as cash $3600 is next to worthless 35 years later.
