Hm... last wk busy with many stuff.. Managed to meet up with Peter @ HarbourFront other day. Well, not much big difference from the last time I saw him. Probably his hair abit longer ba. Hm.. managed to meet up with Noel in the beginning of the week, saw Henry on the NE line the veri same day.
The greatest achievement for this week would be spending my saturday painting the house again. Almost done, juz need another 3-man hrs of hardwork. whaha! Have to get it up by Friday.. haha! Chinese new year is around the corner but I'm not really looking forward to it. Guess maybe it's becuz I'm jobless. haha!! I juz dun like my relatives to ask, so found a job liao? Even then isn't much of ur prob right? Still remembered this period last yr, when I was busy preparing my stuff n meeting up friends before going over.
Anyway, went to Borneo's Motor ytd. Yup, there was this big huge crowd over there. For those who dun know, COE prices have dipped to an all time low, below 10k for all categories. Those were the days when COE prices were as high as 20k plus. I still remembered when my parents bought the corolla which was back then was @ 80k plus. haha!! Now a Vios is selling only at 44k including COE. Well, when's my turn to get my own car? I still remembered that there was an occasion which my housemates n I were having a general topic on buying cars in sg at that point. I recalled saying 44k @ that time can get a Hyndai Accent but now I can get a Toyota Vios @ that price. However, passing by Ubi, I could sense that not all cars are that sellable.. Can see from the no. of crowd, one can roughly make a guess on the upcoming COE bidding. Juz out of curiousity, found out that Vios is a latin name which stands for "to move forward". In anycase, the depreciation rate for Vios for the current price is set to be only approx 4k per year. You still get back 6k plus for scrapped value @ e end of 10yrs. Well, one factor to consider while buying a car is the amount of loan to be taken. Juz some extra info, the interest rate set by most of the banks is pegged at 3%. That means to say for a loan of 20k to be repaid in 1 yr, that would have cost you a 600 bucks for interest. Other stuff to take into consideration would be road tax and insurance. For those interested in larger version, check out Toyota Altis -> approx 54k.
Well, the prices for both the Toyota Vios and Nissan Sunny are so competatitive. The Nissan sunny which is 1.6 is actually going at almost same price as Vios which is 1.5. Couldn't find any comparison between both engines. Anyway, that's all for tis wk topic.
Advance Happy Chinese New Year to all readers celebrating cny. For those who ain celebrating cny, Happy Holidays. Woof Woof..(",)
