[Sg] - Guess Race? Singaporean man bitterly regrets buying Luxury Supercar of his dreams after experiencing maintenance costs of $5K per month

[sbfuncle]

They are very poor in maths.
And this is the main problem.
He can now say all the regrets.
But it is not going to change the fact that they are very poor with maths and will fall into other traps in his lifetime.

Ah Bang never do proper calculation, he thinks CDC are given out monthly ?

He probably thinks the CDC vouchers amount to $5K every month, and may be redeemed at the car workshop.

I notice many Ah Bengs driving continental sports cars with 1-2 years remaining on the COE that they paid under $80K for. It is meant to "impress" Ah Lians who have no clue how old or affordable such cars are. The Bengs have only a year or 2 to enjoy driving these branded used cars.

$80k to drive a car for 1-2 years. These clowns really no money still wanna show off!

Already stupid but wants to make it up and appear clever by sharing his stupid story?
Now double stupid.

Sincerely if you intend to do good and share, do it with your money, not your words.

I always wonder how these clowns survive.

Usually they have like 4-5 kids, wife buys LV or Chanel bags, then drive expensive continental or sports cars. Their salaries probably less than $10k per month still can afford all these. Really unbelievable!

Regardless of their income level, they usually earn all and spent all.

The lower income ones will stretch every dollar and go for hire purchase whenever possible.
The high income ones will live like a king and without much savings.
m&d businessman usually make very good money within their race, including hawkers, property and insurance agents.
I would position this case the m&d as a high income earner since he also runs a business.

Exceptional are pappy dogs like mdm ex president and some mps with too much money to spend and save.

Most Ah Bengs would not be able to afford above $500K to buy such cars brand new.

This is a track car. People with money buy for track use, never for everyday a to b ride.

For normal people want to yaya, buy an old 5 series.

$80k to drive for 2 years
$400k to drive for 10 years

Ok la save $100k, until they realize the maintenance for old cars will suck out any savings

When car owners renew their COE, they lose their PARF rebate, which is a significant sum of money they would receive if they had deregistered their car. Road tax also increases for older vehicles i.e. they will be paying more annually to keep their car on the road.

This guy obviously has more dollars than sense, but he does seem hellbent on bragging that he can afford the "maintenance" charges.

That's because the minahs maintenance are lower than Chinese girls. But now this car just screwed up his financials.

She appears to be pretty high maintenance.

Insurance for old cars also more expensive..

The only super car that I would buy would be the NSX. I am not interested in paying $500K for supercar and for it to break down all the time.
