This isnt my car, but its very similar (mine has the sport package with 17" 7-spoke wheels).
Is there a way to post attachments on this forum? I have actual pics of my car but I cant attach them.
Use tinypic.com or imageshack.us
They allow you to upload pictures for free, without registering.
Don't have a good camera yet, and it's not even my car. But I'm proud of my father's Porsche 928S. I got a buffer so I'll wax it soon enough. I fixed the skirts and completely repaired and cleaned the interior.
Here's my parent's old car, which they still haven't decided to keep or sell :rolleyes: That's the block of flats I live in in the top right corner

I'll snap a pic of the new car, once my mum comes back from Malaysia with the camera
Quote from: Car FreakIt's a 2001 Mazda 323 1.6
You call that old? Before my dad bought the 03 Impala, we were driving in a 1992 Chevy Lumina. Ugh, I remember that car: smashed hood and doors, leaky muffler, no heat/ac, ripped seats, orange dust over everything. :eek4: (Also, the odometer was nearing 200,000 miles!) It was a piece of shit for many years.
Here in Singapore, 5 years is considered quite old already.
There's a few factors to this:
Chiefly, it's because of this tax called Certificate of Entitlement (COE), which is valid for 10 years only. There's different categories for different engine capacities (below 1600cc, above 1600cc, Goods and Commercial vehicles, taxis, Open category).
However, once the time is up, owners have the chance to renew the COE, but then road tax (also based on engine cap) goes up for older cars.
Therefore, few ppl actually bother keeping their cars after 10 yrs.
Then there's also the Chinese (majority of population) superstitions. Something like new is better or something like that (I'm not a very superstitious person :squint: )
The stupid thing about all the taxes means Singapore is one of THE most expensive places to buy and own a car. For example, our new Mitsubishi Grandis, a 2.4l 7-seater people-carrier cost $70k, and that's only because of all the discounts (they were gonna phase in a new facelifted model). U.P. was $85k :eek:
A small sedan like the Toyota Corolla 1.6 costs about $55k
Exec car like the Chrysler 300C 3.5? $160k. Or, if you'd rather have more quality, the Merc E200 is $180k
Small exec car like the BMW 320i? $155k
Large sedan like the Honda Accord 2.0 is almost $90k
A small SUV like the Hyundai Tuscon 2.0 is $71k (and that's because, being a Hyundai, it's cheap). The class leaders, Honda CR-V, Nissan X-Trail and Toyota RAV4 are between 85-90k.
Larger SUVs? Volvo XC90=200k Mercedes ML350=228k Lexus RX350=150k Porsche Cayenne S=320k
As you can see, the badge makes a HUGE difference in the price...
Another Singaporean mindset is that no matter what car we buy, we try to go for the smallest engine in the biggest body. in other words, a well-specced base model.
And that's pretty what it's like to own a car in Singapore
Stinge, when i said old car, I meant previous car
@Kracka: is that your own camaro or googled image? nice and so undergroundish inpression btw :)
@stylizer: its also called city here, and probably the best and impressive model among citys i have seen. the new city suck. :mad:
@boy91: i always dream of a bmw :D i hope that i will be able one day to buy a brand new m3.
@car freak:
90k usd for an accord.... :eek3::eek3::eek3: it means 54lac rupees herein pakistan. you can buy two euro accords for 90kusd. because euro accord here cost 46k usd. (28 lac)..and remember, cars here come with 100% tax.
somewhat same rule goes in Japan that every 5 years? you have to either put in the new engine or just piss off ur car. people there often choose the 2nd option. :D thats y most engines in Japan are disposable. hey guys, I learnt that disposable engines are un-repairable? is that true? btw, theres no concept of disposable engines in Pakistan here. and we dont get to see most of the cars here because no spare parts are available here or for high price. even that damn FIAT UNO has very expesive parts. i know once i hit an electric tower while reversing UNO and broke the rear window. it cost me 150 USD for that ...phewwwwww :O
I think he meant 90k Singapore dollar, which is like 50k usd. Which is about the going rate for Accords in India if Im not mistaken. Here (in US) their like 20k for the 4cylinder, and 25-30 for the 6 cylinder. :D Then again, I did see a Jag X type for 90k usd in KL, and that was with a 30k rm discount, so that may well be in USD....
The new City sucks in part because the engine has 73hp. If they had renewed the 110HP Vtec model, it would have been much better. Something about fuel economy is why I think they did that, but my idea of progress isnt a 35hp drop. :rolleyes:
I loved the old city though. It was a sweet car, could own anything short of a C200 any day. There was once an overdrive test, the City vtec model came in as the 3rd fastest car in India, behind the E200 and the S320 which cost like 35 and 60 lakhs compared to the 9.5 for the City :eek:
The City 1.5 was the best thing in its class, though a bit pricy.

Oh no, its my car. Taken pictures of it at the Walt Whitman bridge in Philadelphia, PA.
I knew something about that bridge looked familiar.
@kracka: haha.. u r good in photography. which camera u use? i wana buy a photo camera.. will u recommend me any?
im decent in photography, but my friend took those pictures. He uses a Nikon D70s, which is about $1300usd new.
cant really reccomend a camera unless i know what you're using it for.
i am happy with my little Sony DSC-W40 and the big nikon :)
and yeah, the thing his friend is best in is hiding 2 BIIIIIG DENTS in the front of the car you never see sticking out on any of the pics :)

D70s is nowhere near $1300...Itll run you around 900 including lens.
Im using a Cybershot DSC W50, and also a couple of fully manual 35mm cameras: nikon fm10, and a Canon something from 25 years ago.

Hi Power^Steer|nG, I'm from Singapore too, and what CarFreak means is SGD$90K for the Honda Accord, and that's for the base model.
Hey cool! I didn't think i would ever have another Singaporean in the same forum as me!
let me guess, the Wish in your avatar is yours right?
How much did you pay for that set of rims and how much should a set of 17"s cost? (I'm trying to persuade my dad to get those for our new Grandis)
Quote from: Power^Steer|nG@stylizer: its also called city here, and probably the best and impressive model among citys i have seen. the new city suck.

Hallo. Majulah Singapura eh? Hehe. My avatar's Wish isn't my dad's. It's his friend's. His is a totally stock one, except for the rims, and they're 15", FYI. Really teeny, IMO. Don't have a picture of his car yet. 17" would cost about $1.5K, IF your dad goes for the cheap ones. ;) Is his the new Grandis? The sport-something model looks good.
Nah... It's one of the last few before the facelift... With all the discounts and everything, he actually managed to get it for SGD70k!
Oh, and our old Mazda 323 (which we're holding onto) had a COE of $101. :D
Quote from: Car FreakNah... It's one of the last few before the facelift...
Oohh..... Pity. My uncle just got one before the facelift too. But, it wasn't discounted. His was SGF-registered, so it was still a little too early for a discount.:((
and i drive the all mighty....
moped!
50cc engine pumping out something between 1 and 2 bhp for a total weight of 60kg, you do the ratio, and imagine me racing an Enzo (and with my extra 60kg on it, just screw the ratio)
on flat it will top 65km/h, which is not bad considering its suposedly limited to 45km/h

Ooh. Same colour as my uncle's. Factory Xenons right? The rims look a little tiny though.:D:D
Yep. xenons and the rims are 16s. which is why i asked about the 17s..
16"??? Hmmn... Still looks small. Tell your dad, 18" will go best with the car. Maybe in bronze or some other sportier looking colour. My uncle's on 16" Ralliart 6-spoke ones. Still look teeny. Maybe 19" will look best... Heh heh heh.:D I've heard of someone squeezing 20" on a Wish, but I have pics of a 19" on a Wish. Let me try to find those pics...
20" best choice if u want to fuck the engine :bigthumb:
i must say dan, your dakota looks sexy.
