Bying/leasing a car is of course very convenient, but there are 20,000 taxis in Singapore. Public transportation is very good. If you spend more than $50 everyday (or 1500 per month) on taxi/buses then you should seriously consider getting a car.

what are the pros and cons of leasing? can someone enlighten me?

Hi,

There are few main advantages of leasing.
1. No worries on servicing, maintenance, insurance, road tax cost and admin work - all taken care by the leasing co by paying monthly leasing fees
2. Replacement vehicle provided if leased vehicle is required back to to workshop. Free pick-up/delivery service
3. Less capital upfront as compared to buying and less hassle since you need not apply for loan

Thanks and best regards

Hi Jivin,
Do I need to have a driver license first to lease a car? I was quoted $2500/month for an AUDI for 2 years lease. Can you do better than that?

Soy,

If you have an international driving licence, you can drive in Singapore before obtaining a local driving licence (but must obtain local licence within 12 months). May I know the model of the Audi and the age of the vehicle? You can email me with the details and I shall revert.

Thanks and regards
