Yep! can cruise for about a maximum of 5 minutes at best (as long as it's 3 am in the morning). He'll spend a fortune in tune-up charges due to the normal cruising speed of 25 to 35 kph (15 to 22 mph) and hours of idling on the expressways not even counting town!. Do like I did for my Austin-Healey (put it in a humidity/environment controlled storage facility).Grim Reaper wrote:"cruising" at the speed of 75Km/hr behind another hogging cab always makes me grin...
There are 3 flash Lamborghini's parked outside a house, where I live Which is quite funny really! What a waste of money, in this tiny little environment.Grim Reaper wrote:Regarding the Porsche, better call LTA again and ask how much the amount of import tax on the car will be.
You will learn that your former investments on the Prosche have been peanuts compared to the amount needed to get the car imported here.
And for the record, to each his or her own, but a Porsche on the road in Singapore, "cruising" at the speed of 75Km/hr behind another hogging cab always makes me grin...

It doesn't really make any financial sense to have a car in Singapore: the place is pint-sized, public transport is great, and you can take taxis a few times every day ($15 a ride, twice a day, 30 days a month = $900) and still save over owning a car. If you're living somewhere in the comparative boonies or have a large family it may make some sense, but most car owners in Sing seem to do it just for the prestige.boffenl wrote:Thanks for the replies! Seems everyone at the university has a car--how can they afford it with some of the prices I've seen posted? Do most ex-pats lease? and how do you keep on top of all the certificates and special stickers you'll need?
Hi there, you can get on this website to get a pretty good estimate on how much it'll cost to bring in your 911... www.onemotoring.com.sgStephen993 wrote:I live in Hong Kong, am moving to Singapore in January, and have invested great time and money in my car, which is a 1996 Porsche. The car is now in perfect condition, and I really want to bring it to Singapore. The Land Transport Authority website says that no cars over three (3) years old can be imported, but my future secretary called the LTA and was told that you can write a letter asking for an exemption to this policy.
I really don't want to lose my car because of the move. Any information, such as actual experience, previous posts, helpful friends that work at the LTA would be very much appreciated!!!
