Today a old friend of mine who work as sales exec ask me why i dont buy better cars as i just driving a dugong while he own a crz which he upgraded lately from a proton saga lmst.

He advise me to get another car instead of driving my cheap dugong.. He said dugong too common and not suitable for guy. I dont have comment about that as i more care about investment on properties which can earn $$..

I know as a sales exec might need better cars to prove to their customer that they are capable but i work in MNC i feel no need to waste money just to upgrade to one level right..?

I have few friends who work as sales also drive cars better than me but they are just staying in apartment and some just rent room/house. Good cars for me wont boost my salary.. I know good car for them might be helpful..

How do u guys think..? If got extra cash >90k on hand, you will change car..?

wth is dugong ~_~

Vios

This sounds more like Kopitiam or Finance Section thread..

better don't spend your money on car bro my advise to you. coz i'm like you have 5 digits money in bank. then go buy car with that money. now need to collect more money to buy house also susah.

sales exec drive crz?

cant impress any customers unless his customers are bunch of 16 years old teenagers.

lol

lu jual apa?

He should drive MERZ or BMW if he wants to impress his customers?

if buy car to impress ppl, then its wrong.

if buy car to impress/reward yourself, then by all means

buy house first la.

I dont do sales. I worked in mnc company..

No problem ts, u r not alone. I drive a myvi but own a land and farm.
Malaysians generally equates car to wealth, thats why they r slaves for life.
Loans r available to enhance the illusion of affordability for the general public.
Trust me, U will have the last laugh when the time is right to flaunt!

Well, if you want to drive a safer/more enjoyable car, i.e. you actually want a better car, then change. Otherwise just keep the Vios. It will get you from A to B.

Basically just do whatever you want and what makes you happy. Does it matter if others think you are rich? I am more willing to give way to someone in a cheap car. (Unless it's a Vios or Avanza, then I don't give way, or a German car, then I do). Of course if you need it to make business (i.e. you need to give a good image, you have to meet clients and customers that are very rich, ...) then it is different. But you said that doesn't apply to you.

Also beware that an expensive car will make you a more likely target for robbery, since you are apparently rich.

Real picture..? How it climb so high?
