jnlciti wrote:thanks all - what about the costs involved in buying a car out there - family saloon 2-3 years old. It cheaper to rent at the weekends for sightseeing trips? Also i really need to understand how the lettings works. my budget would be around the SGD3000 - 3500 / month
Leasing with this budget is no problem.
My colleague was leasing a Nissan Murano for ~S$2k per month over a 2-year contract. Me, i bought second hand Legacy with monthly repayments ~S$1k per month plus costs, all in for about S$1.5k per month.
