Hahah....$1K is if you put 30% downpayment. Nowadays, alot of people put 10%, they going to jump of building someday... For 2nd hand car is even worse, some...

ive heard that quite soon the legal driving age will change from 18 to 21. any idea what year exactly this law applies to? i'm born in 1987 and i really hope i dont have to wait til i'm 21 to drive....

cheers!

For me, I've heard that rumour speculating about for the past 7 years. Laughing

Evanglion SG

But weather it is 18 yrs old or 21 years old makes no different to me Laughing

my goodness.....there is no such thing as driving when you are 21!!!! wah lao eh...its just a rumour....piangzzz.......really funny when ppl keep asking when the 21 thing exist...ive been hearing that since 7 or 8 years ago man....wah lao....no such thing...18 can learn how to drive liao...not happy...go call the driving centre and ask abt it.....

Hairyworm SG

I went to driving centre and ask b4. They told me once u r 18, u can learn driving. I’m oso born in 1987. Hoping to get my licence soon then can go around spore wif a CAR!

First is getting your license.. then after that, you'll have to see if at the age of 18, you can actually manage to afford to buy a car and maintain it... in Singapore, it's not easy... for 2nd hand car, you'll have to fork out at least $700-$1k a month for all the payments, mnaintenance and fuel, parking, fines... everything...

That's y I rent them!! Hehe... Very Happy

sgedw SG

Confirm Rumous...... Confused

SmaLLDoG SG

after getting the licence ...do we have to pay yearly to renew? Question

Ghee SG

Now driving licence....no need to renew.... juz pay $50.... for life.... last time....need renew yearly.....$20/yr..... good now hor.....still no need to remember your passing date...... and dutifully renew.....

i think up the legal age to 21..... not likely lah.... coz 18 u go army...take rifle to protect our country....our lands...our homes..... use this logic... the ga-ver-men always cant go bac kon its words.... haa haa Very Happy

unless some idiots.... new drivers go and kena accidents.... spolit the market.... then there is a strong excuse..... haa haa

The car sharing scheme?? i felt it's quite ex leh.. and not really convenient.... that u have to return the car at the same place

wd1 SG

drive dad's car lah

i'm only planning to buy car in my mid-20s. maybe earlier... if i can get a uni scholarship then i can use the money my parents saved up for my uni education to buy

must study hard now.

LH83 SG

So far it's ok for me... managed to use the cars they have... and with around 30+ stations around Sg, I doubt you can't find one which has a car for you... From my place, I can get to at least 5 stations to pick up a car... Plus, they allow P platers too... hee...

wuming78 SG

u refering to car co-op? how much subscription did u pay? its pay per use, so no monthly fee rite? any requirements?

LH83 SG

I use CitySpeed... cos I P Plater... so total inital fee is $390... inclusive extra $120 for insurance "cos I P Plater"... you can go to www.cityspeed.com.sg to find out more...

wuming78 SG

so i guess there are other car co-ops? and i suppose the amount u pay per year or something will decrease as u grow older and have the license with you for longer?

Kel^83 SG

hmmm. i've visited their webby but they put min. driving exp. is 1yr.
like tat not for p platers mah. maybe got exceptions bah.
