Serious Bull Market For COEs Continue!! $141k For Big Car, $105k For Small Car! Majulah PAP!

Our physical body should last longer than our leased property or we will be out in the streets during our "golden years".
Pitfall is buying those super old HDBEe or 60yrs lease Condo savvy buyers
 
Dun wallory...got Annual Pineapple Charity Show to help us mah...Heng ong Huat lah
Most of us belong to the "sandwich class" who don't qualify for Govt handouts, but have to handout to aged parents and children who aren't old enough to work.
 
Having a car is the worse thing to happen in Sinkapor... It's only a 10yrs lease from the gahmen n you have to pay your yearly road tax n insurance, not forgetting servicing the car n also replacement of wear n that..Just an ordinary Mazda 3 already cost $140k+ OTR for a 10yrs lease...

They are a sucker if they want a new car. And also don't forget the interest on the car loan. Easily add another $40K over 5 years.

There is a price to be paid for convenience, comfort and luxury. As long as the buyer is able to afford a car, why refer to him/her as a sucker? It is those who cannot afford a car who will be the first to jump in if they suddenly receive a windfall.

That’s a fair point. If I have $1 million in cash, what’s $200k on a car?

Price to be paid for convenience? It depends on what price u r talking about. Price created by the PAP? then u r 100% an educatedly stupid sucker. Go pay ur COE. PAP loves you.

You are 100% correct. It all boils down to affordability. If a person can afford a good class bungalow and a luxurious car in S'pore, wouldn't he be considered foolish to continue living in a 3-room HDB unit and relying on the train and bus?

If a person who is able to afford a car continues to deny himself the convenience, comfort and pleasure of owning one, then he may be considered "stupid". It is like living as a pauper when a person is a millionaire; that is stupidity.
 
Everything in life must balance right?

You save save save until u miss out on all the life experiences then u die. Lol… wtf.

Let me give an example. If you think you wanna save and not go traveling when you are young, and thought you can travel when u are retired, reality is you can’t even walk far or withstand the rigors of it when u are old.

The golden rule of not going into financial ruin is to spend within our means. If a car costs us more than $300K, but we have $5 million to our name, then why not for 10 years of sheer driving pleasure, convenience, comfort, status and family bonding on road trips?
