it would be more worth it if u take the bus and the train.Originally posted by MisterMoon:I'm spending like 500 a month on transporatation, mainly taking cabs to work. So should i buy a car, is it worth it?

Motor bike more economical,but of course not BMW bike.Originally posted by kenn3th:it would be more worth it if u take the bus and the train.
well said. buying car in singapore is nv worth. COE n road tax n petrol are e killers. not e cars. this is their marketing strategies. Cars itself are cheap, it's e maintence tat will put off many pple. tt's hw government earn money.Originally posted by LifeIsWonderful:personally i think it's not worth the money, unless you calculate lah, you really need it then it may be fine to flush out the money, but for most cases, it's not worth it. I take cab everyday one whole month only spend $400, but for car it'll be $1k per month plus the fact that you are tied to the commitment, you will lose your freedom, imagine you very dulan your job but you cannot quit, coz if not bank will sue you. For me, free and easy is still the best, good food good drinks, nice shopping trips, and being driven all around, sure more worth it than just placing all the money on 1 car.
so which are you??Originally posted by sir_boris:Is worth to buy a car only for any of these 3 reasons
1. you got spare cash
2. you got a family
3. your job needs it.
else use public transport, be it bus, mrt, taxi or even trishaw.

True, but i'm fed up with public transport especially cabbys... i guess ultimately buying or not depends on whether you're willing to part with your money huhOriginally posted by LifeIsWonderful:personally i think it's not worth the money, unless you calculate lah, you really need it then it may be fine to flush out the money, but for most cases, it's not worth it.
