I’ve been thinking about this for a few months now. I really need to get a car of my own. After driving for 6 years, not having round the clock access to a car makes me feel handicapped. I feel as though my mobility is impaired and it’s a terrible feeling!
I initially thought that using taxis to regain my mobility might be cheaper than buying another car. Based on my rough estimation, however, if I wanted to take taxi to and from work daily, and when I go out on weekends, this may come up to $1.5k per month because of all the peak hour surcharge and additional fees to book a taxi (bearing in mind that queuing for a taxi is contrary to regaining mobility).
If I buy a car whose monthly instalment is abt $500 + insurance + road tax + petrol and parking of $400, it would come up to about $1.2k – still cheaper!
So I’ve decided. My priority for this year is to get a car. I shall start looking in this Sat’s papers!

ur nissan leh???
Iceman drives the Latio most of the time mah. If we have different things to do on weekends, so difficult to co-ordinate the use of a car. If I get a car, I may consider driving to work again. At least parking at Tg Pagar is much more affordable compared to RP – and I will stop complaining about having to lug my laptop on super crowded trains. Heh.
