now you give us 1.2 mil we can only buy a 5 room flat liao. so en-blocs are evil.

reminds me of the time someone was saying that companies were flogging BMWs to couples whose collective income barely reached $3k
what is a s320?

now you'd need to pay a quite few million, thanks to inflation and whatnot ![]()
so my point is, en-blocs are quite a bad deal for homeowners aka non-speculators.

i do neither - not approvals nor repo. less mess especially when things go downhill and they need a scapegoat.
which idiot would even dare buy a cherry QQ with combined income of less than 3k a month ....
much less a beemer ? ....![]()
bear, I presume you're waiting for the property market to soften so you can sell your backside to the bank? ![]()

you getting the vehicle back in the same condition as day 1? who bears cost of repo? yeah sure add on to the loan amount...but since he defaulted, he ain't paying you back. re-sale? yeah sure, which means you gotta "restore" the vehicle to saleable position.

yeah.. that's the plan..
actually, i wish there's this sudden revelation that the banks have been covering up the losses of the sub-prime and everything goes to hell in a shitbucket...
and in Singapore, too many fucktards get burnt and the property market turns into hammered shit...
