Nice Car or watches?

[seiko.citizen]

cannot get compliance is due to no dealer attempt to get it complied or till today no one attempts to do so?

if attempted and does not get complied, then any reason given if any

If im not wrong, got dealer attempt to bring in, but cannot get approved. not sure of reason why. however for those thinking of migrating, can buy one, use for one year and bring it in as personal import (yellow plate)

As for car and watch, I currently wearing a sieko premier and driving a Honda crv. I am thinking of getting my 1st Rolex soon but all sports models are great. A tough decision to decide.

cannot get complied. even if i wait until the car is 15 years old, cannot import.

why cannot import?

between car and watch, i would go for watch.

buy the 'right' brand and/or 'right' model, the depreciation should be lesser than that of a car.

for those whose members in a family is either under 12 or above 55 or certain medical condition, a car is some what a necessity especially during an medical emergency or visit to any health care service provider. (nice car does not apply here, have car can already)

for those in outdoor sales doing at least 3 multiple stops and/or picking up clients, a car is 'must' as well. (nice car maybe necessary especially if there is a need to project professional image)

how about investment/insurance

As an luxury utility, it's prudent to keep it within 30% of income.

30% car 30% house 30% watch

why cannot import?

tbh, i wouldnt mind a mark X in perth. too bad my country wont allow me to import

[Watcha]

50% savings and investment is ideal. 10% car is also ideal.

But not many people have ideal salary le. Not me.

5% watch I got to buy g shock liao. Ha

30% car 30% house 30% watch

Most people would like a nicer ride. But at current COE rates, it's a 6263, EOD, 217s gone.
IMO 20% is most comfortable to plan.

Looking at the pie, anything more than 30% must be treated as entertainment/interest fee.
30 car 30 entertainment
50 car 10 entertainment

There are people who spend a lot on car but little else.

I like bro throttle's illustration.
Watch is asset, car is not.

Yea been having this dilemma for the past 1 yr. Left 2.5 years to go with current car. Really love to get the c-class $170k, 2nd option scirocco $140k but when i think if just get a lancer or swift $90k, i can save at least $50k but will not be enjoying the ride......ahhh 2 more years to think over it, but if car price still go up i will just go for taxi liao

buy mark X. i reckon should give the scirocco/c class a run for its money, still got change left over to upgrade some parts

to be fair, it could be that the bmw never had a very good condition to start with. my gp has a first gen X5, and i can see gaps in the dash and door panels. also the glove box wont close properly. according to him, this was a problem when the car was about 3-4yrs old.

Yeah some factory delivered cars are definitely not up to scratch..... but this one that I have seen is not worth in excess of 100k.

[monstaR]

hahah, i told you , best is owner to owner deal.
i buy and sell most of my cars from and to direct owners

Yeah true but the headache is that I have to privately sell my car.....

[seiko.citizen]

Just viewed an X5 and the condition was lemony....
