yah my dad still working. he just asked me how's the honda civic. i told him, way too expensive. Very Happy

Passionate-Shalom SG

ya honda civic to me is very nice.. but kind of way beyond budget. So you come to conclusion yet ? to which car u want to own? Laughing

sinicker SG

i want a vios! but well, i dont have the final say. Very Happy

Vios seriously can't make it as a family car la. It is more a individual car. Anyway, I think Civic is a good buy no matter how ex it is. It is just a matter of whether you can afford it. As long as your dad is still working, I think he should be old enough to do some calculations, or you can do for him and explain using figuares that it might be over-budget. But I don't think old people would go for Vios, I think rather Altis.

sinicker SG

for a 1.6, altis is priced at 58k according to AAS website.

civic, buy now, get in august leh!! Laughing

why vios cannot make it as a family car?

Passionate-Shalom SG

I got this price at sgmart, altis priced at 54,488, inclusive of COE. Vios i think can be made a family car.. see how u look at it and your budget. But I suppose Vios is more recommended for a smaller size body as I believe it can get a little cramp.

Other than the usual excuse of it being small in the cabin area, it is also designed light and soft for the young at heart. Ask you, when you see a vios drive pass you, normally you expect a young driver of less than 35years old, single driver or with only GF, OR you expect a middle-aged driver 40 odd, taking a family of 4 out.

Hard to say.. might happen to me Laughing

sinicker SG

hmmm u have not add in the other necessity u have to pay, like parking, petrol, insurance, road tax, fines etc etc...

Passionate-Shalom SG

well.. so.. it’s advisable to keep how much money as back up for car? incase.. something happens? like accident.. etc.. or anything that might cost $

kentheman SG

accident u can hardly predict...u can't say today accident or tml will not have accident..all these are poh heng sway one...

wbucket SG

I didn't keep much, or should I said I used most of them before anything happened. Anyway, the logical thing I think is keep about 10k-20k for back-up. Take minimum loan minimum period. This is to ensure is really so F**king sway, you can just dump the car without being unable to offset the loan.

For reference, I keep 15k, paid 22k, loan 27k, for 5 years. Now I have only 8k with 4 years of loan to go. Total car spending for last year = 15k including loans. And I am only driving a Kelisa. Mr. Green
