Nice Car or watches?

[Humble]

The government needs to make adjustment to the coe formula... Now it already efeats the purpose of coe. Imagine this. A 4.3L ferrari pays the same as a 2.0 camry for coe, doesnt make sense at all

The 2 ways i think will fine tune the system are:
1) the more ex the car is, the more coe it will be. Perhaps coe of 30-40k for a toyota altis as benchmark.

2) coe remains at 30-40k for 1st car n it gets more expensie for 2nd car onwards

Someone who earns 50k pays a different tax rate from someone who earns 1.5mil wat


Obviously the 90k coe doesnt bother those useless sit there do nothig ministers like tin pei lin...... Ministersssss, u r getting way too much salary n this is the reason u dun feel the pain we r facing in life!!!!!

TPL is Member of parliament leh... She is not minister...

Cars of course! our whole family can enjoy the ride, and sit comfortably in it, right?

Watches ?? can only wear on your own wrist, maybe sometimes our dads will borrow for dinners

For those who are willing to spend 90k on a piece of paper instead of a watch, I really have nothing to say.

You don't really own a car in Singapore. You merely rent it for 10 years and that's it.

TRUE..... and it drops 30% in value the day u drive it from showroom...... Rolex? nope plus only needs a service every 5 years... no car does that

Dollars aside, I would akin cars to be like watches.

Complex mechanisms working harmoniously together is an art to me. To see my car's engine, electronics, dials, buttons .... all working together is always an elating experience. To cruise down the highway smoothly and tackling turns and corners confidently is an experience on its own if you would allow yourself to indulge in.

Just like watches, knowing that every detail and mechanism inside and out were painstakingly engineered to work like a perfect concerto is in itself something delectable to savor and appreciate.

and i thought it was just the COE that was steep.

Yeah back down under Rego for v8s are the same as for 4cylinders...... That explains why many people choose to have large luxury cars that are powered by a 2 litre or less capacity in Singapore. Example E250 which is actually 1.8 super charged....

I am paying 1.7k for my 2.5 litre turbo here......

[seiko.citizen]

holy! ...and i thought my road tax of ~$600/yr was bad

[monstaR]

Maybe can aim for S63/65... that will be a true sports luxury. never tried before, but if the C63 is anything to go by, it is one hell of a fun car to drive.

Man the road tax/ Rego on a c63 in singapore is a whopping 7.2k per annum....

thats true it does grow on you. but it takes a while.
in any base i prefered my CLS lines to a panamera so there was no reason to change.

actually, i dont know what car to change to .
i should keep my cars longer, bad habit of changing cars every 1 to 1.5yrs

If you don't know which car to change to, it means that you are very happy with your CLS.....

[monstaR]

yup did think about it but the backside not so nice i feel

First time I saw it, I find it damm ugly... But the more I see them, the more I like it especially those with body kits and HRE rims......

Thats a dangerous route to take, once you install speakers, you will want to upgrade tweeters, soundproof the doors, wiring, maybe have a subwoofer or two, etc

Ha ha oh yeah.....
