keith_typeR SG

just came across this yahoo advert:

http://page.auctions.shopping.yahoo.com/sg/auction/90573344

he is renting out 2003 BLUE NISSAN SILVIA S15, 2002 WHITE MITSUBISHI EVO 7 and 2003 BLUE SUBARU WRX STi for $200/wkday or $300/wkend. Deposit of $100 is required.

i havent try it yet, but will definitely try the S15, its my dream car!! keep us posted here if anyone has rented any of his cars.

just found out that he also has a 2004 toyota esitma going for rent at $80/wkday or $120/wkend, and a 2005 jaguar x-type for $100/wkday or $150/wkend. can try too... but still not sure if he is reliable or not since he got a bad rating by another yahoo user for other transaction....

pqr SG

How can it be possible to rent a new jaguar for only $100 per day??????
If anyone who tried it can update here?

thank you

Do keep us posted if you rent the S15. Am interested to rent the Evo when I am a little richer...

As for the yahoo auction, ya, quite cheap for the X-type, but even if rental is real and cheap, fc wouldnt be, for it is a jag with a 2.5 V6 engine.

Regarding the bad rating, check his current auction to see if he was bad rated for rental related. Because usually people who rent thru auction dont bid but liaise directly with the person. But, no doubt it say something about the person character.

keith_typeR SG

he was given a bad rating regarding selling of a sunny in 2002... he didn't respond as stated here:

Usually one or two bad rating on yahoo auction does not affect the seller much. But in this case, it might becos firstly, he has not has even good rating and secondly, all his auctions are car rental that does not require the interested parties to bid.

The above is posted by protonwira. I thought I will consolidate all car rental experience under this thread for easy reference.

To protonwira, thanks for your contribution. Hope you dont mind I copy your post.

Very Happy

Personally, I think it is not worth it to rent a car... $60-$80 for 1 day.. Then if for 1 week leh? Isn't it around $500?

Then for 1 month, it will be $2000. I know some charge cheaper like eg $1400 per month. But I guess, it will be more economical to buy your own car.

I remember a few years back, I read from a newspaper article. Somehow, they proved that rented car is better than owning a car. BUT... That is long-term renting, say, 2-3 years.

Anyone think the same?

FireIce SG

of cos those rent is for short-term
u need the car for convenience sake for tt few days

long-term of cos buy more wu hua lah

protonwira SG

AS WAT I CAN SAY DONT RENT FROM FROM LISA AT BISHAN BLK ******** THATS ALL I CAN SAY LOR IS UP TO U ALL WANT TO BELIEVE A NOT LOR!!!!!!!!!!! Question

pqr SG

i think rental is cheaper overall...

by buying a car, you are actually "renting" for 10 years or more isn't it?

You have to consider the road tax, insurance,maintenance when you "buy" a car..when you rent a car, the road tax, insurance, maintenance are already included in the rental rate...

what i like best is that i will not be in debt for the car loan for what 5 to 10 years for car rental.

Yes, car rental per month will be cost more if you rent than buy, but then, you need not take care of the tax, insurance, maintenace i have mentioned.
