I am Damm Pissed But I Can't Do Anything About It.......

[escksu]

Sorry just some rant about my country...... I am extremely pissed with the policies made about cars and there is nothing I can do about it.

All I want is just a small car like a Satria Neo but the those damm faggots are making it totally impossible for me to own one.

There is just 4yrs 9months for my current Neo before I am forced against my will to scrap it. Looking at COE prices, I can say there is simply no way I could renew it (I bet it will be something like 60-80K by then).

Seriously, I don't know what to do here.

Any idea guys? I am seriously thinking about giving up my citizenship and move to JB to live instead. Then can get a Neo and live happily in JB.

Singapore so small, why need a car. Taxi will be good if you don't wanna take mrt. At least still cheaper than owning car in long term.

register it in malaysia & use it there..

Gudluck

Actually if you come to Sg, you will realise that the public transport is UTTERLY CRAP here..... Very inefficient. The train system here is overloaded and buses overcrowded. All thanks to our SH!TTY regime supported by 60.1% of the voters.....

Once moved to JB, u've to live with certain fears unlike in SGP.

Find those who work at Singapore and you buy a car then offer him/her to use the car (must take care) for coming work or leaving for home. Fill up full tank everyday (you pay the fuel cuz when driving home, the car will definitely left 10L or less after used or 'sucked' by your friend's car). I think you make more than RM1 per L. Do the maths.

A Satria from Malaysia will cost you +-S$20k to 25k. Cheaper than your Coe. After 5 years, can trade in for another new car or sell to the driver cheap cheap (can use this as a deal). I know gov is not stupid. And I can't openly tell you the tricks. You can tell your situation to a car salesman and ask him if there is any 'procedure' that can use someone's name to buy a car and potong the name back to you immediately without submit to the JPJ (no key-in to the computer). You just remember you need someone to drive the car and have evident that the car is belongs to him/her (immigration records) and there is nothing wrong if you borrow friend's car for emergency use since you don't have a car or bike.

I'm not sure if these will work. You can study the regulations and find out.

Does this scrap policy apply to expensive cars like the Zonda, Lambos and Ferrari's I've seen there?

Sounds like you're getting ur $$$ ready

 

[ixeo]

If there's no scrap policy, sooner or later the entire island will turn into a parking lot..and nobody would be buying new cars -- plus there won't be space to park the cars anyway.

Its more an issue of physical space, or lack thereof. What do you propose otherwise Mr.Unhappy?

 

[kcng]

and people complain about the car prices in malaysia...
:D

 

[calvin9683]

if u love ur car so much.. go make a deal wif the scrap yard... ask them to declare the car as scrap, but u drive the car into JB before they declare... keep in fren's place (assuming u got fren in JB)... drive in once a week or whenever u r free in JB... leave the SG plate on la, JB police dunno much abt SG cars... just pray hard u dun get into major accident...

 

[Supra_Fanatics]

I have been to Singapore and I do think SG's public transport is 5x better than Malaysia!!! Is just so convenient for me to go anywhere. Most importantly the trains are always on time

Nah. I'm just curious. Cuz a 10 year old Ferrari might be still worth a lotta money and if the owner had to scrap it.. man I pity the owner.

 

[vr2turbo]

10 years scrap value is zero, but if sell to an individual still worth some money...
My ride is now 21 years, got to get approval before they can sell me the insurance......

I pity the car too lol...10 year old ferrari is still a nice car. If 30 years old Ferrari...lagi valuable

no not really. trains are always overcrowded and late. taxis choosing customer even at taxi stand.

my experience in SG with taxis are really bad.

SG public transport consider very good... MY public transport cannot compare to SG and most MYsian do not rely on public transport that is why we buy cars here and is not cheap compare to SG. But here in MY we can keep the cars as long as we wanted. :)

You can stay in JB and buy a Satria Neo so that you can drive around MY and SG but still continue work in SG so that you can maintain your income.

 

[vr2turbo]

Don't you remember that MY also tried to follow SG to scrap cars, but of 15 years not so long ago, but many opposed the move and was cancelled...

 

[cvkit17]

Personally I think, scrapping cars has its good and bad..It pushes car manufacturers to improve their cars. For example, Proton Wira, 1995 wira and 2000 wira...not much diff after all...just some cosmetic changes so I believe ppl wont scrap their wiras and buy another kinda same wira.

The bad is...it's kinda waste..especially many cars nowadays can last long. Summore always gotta get new car..not that affordable to many.

Yup...read of that in the papers but after that no news about it... actually they can just take the old cars and rebuild it and sell it as recon cars to other lower country. scrap is really a waste.

Lots of things always got pros and cons. Pros are to spur the car sector and economy, but cons are not every one can afford to chase new cars.....
