Hello bros can help me out here?!?
-
Hey guys, currently studying in a poly hence i thought of getting a 2nd hand honda civic esi for daily use to and from school as it seems that public transport is quite expensive. Thinking of sharing the car with 2 friends. What are ur views and comments and what do u think the monthly cost would be to mantain and own and honda civic? ? ? Would it be cheaper to own a swift GTI and how much would that be? Thank you very much peeps =))

Wat??!! Share wif 2 friends??
is tat possible??
then car under whose name?
who in charge of paying?
after u all graduate who keep the car?
who use it during weekends??
Too many problems will arise, trust me...
U mentioned public transport is ex but even if u take a cab to n fro sch everyday, its still cheaper then owning ur car... -
Haha i of cost will own the car. They just pay for the mantainance etc. lolz haha like the luxury of owning a car ma. Btw the old swift seems cheap and it has good FC as it is a 1.0l car

ur friend so stupid one? lolOriginally posted by kelviz:Haha i of cost will own the car. They just pay for the mantainance etc. lolz haha like the luxury of owning a car ma. Btw the old swift seems cheap and it has good FC as it is a 1.0l car
not to pour cold water, but..
if u buy the car, and did;t have the money to spend on else where. then wat the point. for example, u got the car liao, spend all ur money on tat car, and in the end, u did;t have money to go out, and watch movie, eat and ...
even if u say tat u r, tin it will be under a very tight budget ba. meaning no saving for the future. if u r single and wan an "ok" life with a car. min is 2000 per month. if got family, min is 2500 or 3000. depend on ur lifestyle. jus my suggestion.. -

S$236.25per month, 10 year loan.
2nd hand car in its first 10 years more ex.
Fuel
depending on your home location, but since you said transport is ex, so must be far. Plus have to send your friend home first before you go home. Fun and games during weekends. I say 500km at least, to maybe 650km per week. Old car FC a little bad, since it is Honda, I give it 14km/L. S$54-S$70 per week. So it is S$234 - S$300per month.
Maintence, old car must be heavy. Maybe S$150per month.
Parking, S$65 + S$20(Mis) = S$85 per month or S$110 for multi-storey.
Insurance, young man, easily S$2.5k or more yearly. S$210per month.
Plus plus a little, and must not have any fines what so ever, I guess you will be looking at S$333 per person per month.
Looking at at my old days, I usually spend S$150-S$200 on public transport per month. I stay Tampines and study NUS. So I think you guys have to cut S$133 out from your monthly expenses on fun and games to feed the car. All 3 of you. Go out more, fuel go up, parking go up.
Little boy, learn how to make money first before wasting them. Got time, put your minds in the books so that you can get a decent job in the future. Then even BMW is easy buy.
Anyway, COE car, honda - swift about the same price. But honda more reliable. FC better. -
haha thanks very much for ur help haha i think SBS seems better lolz. yawn just feel like driving la how about borrowing a car from my aunt. but it is a subaru forester 2.0 the mantainance would sure kill me haha

glad tat u understand. i can also understand tat at this kind of teen age, when u jus got a licence or not long. u r alway looking forward to driving and owning a car.Originally posted by kelviz:haha thanks very much for ur help haha i think SBS seems better lolz. yawn just feel like driving la how about borrowing a car from my aunt. but it is a subaru forester 2.0 the mantainance would sure kill me haha -

public transport will the most cost you $200. If that is consider expensive I got nothing to say. Petrol alone is more than that... For an ESI the fuel consumption is around the range of 10-12. The road tax and insurance will cost you a whole year of your course fee and the monthly installment will cost you all your monthly allowance..... It is really not worth being a slave to a car at such age. Problems may arise from car sharing.... like maintain cost, repair cost, the usage of the car....
Cheers. -
Sorry, always thought Honda produce FC efficient cars. Guess I guess wrongly.Originally posted by DaKaR:WoW! WHICH ESI you Bought man?? Can give u 14km/l??? Most of them can barely touch 10~!!!! -
Go get a 2b licence and get a HONDA WAVE
The cost of 3 waves can be cheaper than owning 1 car.
FC - 50km/litre ( NO JOKE )
Season Parking - $15/mth (if want to save, park viod deck for free)
Normal parking - 60cent for half day
Road Tax - $80/yr(Sometime got rebate, no need to pay somemore)
Insuarance for new bike- ard $600
Machine price - ard $2500
Maintance - Engine oil ($12/3000km)
So, each of u can get a bike and long pang each of your gf out every weekend. 3 wave can fetch 6ppl where a car can only fetch 5.
If really want to buy a car, save up $15k then consider la. Student can hardly afford car la, unless u come from a wealthy family. -
Haha cool what creative replys lolx dun really fancy bikes. My parents would rather sponsor me a car lolz hmmm y 15k . . i have 15k -.- that means i can get a 2nd hand car ah

Told you don't think so much already! Get back to your books! After reading through my simple math, you still don't get it. Out of the 1k I quote per month in my pervious posting, only 230 dollar is for the car price.Originally posted by kelviz:LoL haha duno la im just worried about the mantainance cost FC , Insurance etc haha the car cost can be taken care of lolz hmmm sianz renting a car is nothing like owning one lolz . . . . =PpP

That car stated above, even with your 15k, you still need to top up 10k. meaning you will save S$80 per month. 920/3=306!!! Even if the car is free, you still have to cough out S$250 a month, just for that damn 2nd - hand car.
I don't know where did you get your 15k from, but that amount of money can last you on a 3-4months tour around Europe. Do yourself and your parents a favour, STOP dreaming. Talk about it after you serve your NS. -

1) When raining - stop under bridge to put rain coats. if that day is having a hot date as a pillion and havent go dinner. good luck to you
2) When minor buang/accident - percentage of physical injury - bery bery high. , lets not talk about major buangs/accident. ok?
3) You just can't make out in the backseat of your bike.
4) You can enjoy 'aircon' for that matter
5) You can't bloody hear each other when u don the helmet anyway even if the motor engine hasn't drown it all.
6) You can't carry a DIY cabinet at the back of your vehicle.
there... comparing apples to oranges.
