Wah Alka, like that you and I share the same driver!!
Only took taxi after clubbing at nite. Need not worry about drink & drive issues..

[ahbau]

nothing beats a company car which i'm driving right now. no need to worry about repairing, insurance and also fuel price increase. only that my boss is complaining that i'm pumping too much petrol.

But honestly, if given me a choice, I rather have the car allowance than having a company car as most company car sucks....plus I get to buy what I like.... :D

[ahbau]

yes, but that depends on how much allowance you're given. i know of a friend who's getting like RM2K each month. but then again, he's a regional manager.

[song cm]

RM2k is great....but the tax for car allowance would be much greater than a company car (which is considered as a benefit in kind)

[siewjang]

I'm driving my father-in-laws recycle Porche :D He's so good to loan them to me. Old car but still better than none. Don't know when he's claiming them back from me again. Yikes...

[ausman]

Having own car is great...choice is plenty but then it will always limit by the allowance... having company car is better....no headache of course come with sacrifice in term of choice...(no choice at all!)
If fact most of the company nowadsy will do away with company car... ah bau ur company is something to unique....

aside this ...song... sales people like me who survive on mileage claim, are these taxable?

[TingMS]

don't talk too fast..

i am driving a company car too...

each time it rosak, had to report to the boss....

so mar fan one..... :D

Depending on the car....i bought my car new at about $16,500. It comes with Cruise Control, ABS, Airbag and 100k warranty.

A fully loaded Camry is about 23-25k.
Lexus....about 30k.
BMW about 28k for an entry level wan.
Merz....a compact one entry level about 28k as well.
Ford....11k can get already.
Audi....you are looking at 30k plus.

So it all depends on what car you want. Mind you also that its left hand drive.

[piglet]

Wah x2! You really have good life in Singapore. Volvo or Benz somemore....
me not so rich also but I have calculated that it is cheaper to take taxi everyday than to own a car in Singapore....hence my decision not to get a car...

During peak hours.. u got queue for hours to wait for a cab.....
and the cab drivers are hiding @ the hawker or petrol station ..

My first car was the Toyota Echo(i think thats what an Altis is), it was about USD11k. But that one just automatic with no extras. I think an Altis fully loaded is about 13-14k.

[piglet]

It's a bad buy!... not only suck petrol like water.. ..aircond stop working @ 2nd year... and lots of other problems..
