Buy car is for convenient purpose to move around. Do investment is for the wealth generation. I rather drive a lousy car but my bank acc and pocket full of dough. I've seen ppl driving bmw but stay in flats and eat bread for lunch....whats the point.

QUOTE(kenji1903 @ Jul 24 2012, 11:47 AM) i'd prefer pocket with enough dough the rest in investments... Singapore everyone also like that... Lexus, Audi but staying in HDB  but what kind of bread for lunch? Gardenia then different story... most people i know eat O'briens, The Loaf for lunch... O'Briens is above average bread buddy Singaporean is different. Coz most of them really can't afford housing, might as well buy big cars and drive on Malaysian Highways

QUOTE(gkl83 @ Jul 24 2012, 11:46 AM) the reasons why the company asked the mid & higher management to change new & better car if the car age exceed 5-10years... reasons? higher commitment for better car = working harder for bonus & commission = company more profit... anyway, it happened to my previous company, even my boss going retried soon but my CEO forcing him to change car, just like throwing my boss into deep shit... anyway, for young generation without family and house yet... better save the money to get a new house and grow up our coming family... for my case squeeze hard from my salary RM1800+ for RM300k house with my wife that time while i still paying the car loan...  no doubt, my decision was right, my house price hiked to RM600k+ now, otherwise i may no afford to buy a house now even thought my salary are more than triple now as i have my own family now and personal complusory expenses... some more my senior colleague take a long time for consideration and negotiation to buy a house around my area and claimed that too expensive to afford even though he can sell his 2 apartment to cover the new house's pricing... think about it...  If my boss ask me to change car I will ask them to raise my car allowance first

QUOTE(poweredbydiscuz @ Jul 24 2012, 12:25 PM) "I rather have an empty bank acc and pocket but I'm driving a fancy car. Stay in bungalow and eat shark fin but drive lousy car... What's the point." Different ppl have different priority and preference. Why judge them? Its their money after all. p.s. Don't shoot me, I drive lousy car  Ok. Have to agree different ppl different perspective. But the point you made on this I have to disagree "Its their money after all". Coz if you buy a car you can't afford, its not only your money at stake but your future generation will be in debt with you
