Our Cars (dream or actual)

thanks finn^^ keep us updated. haha still think you'll suit the a5 judging from the most recent photo. HAHAHA.
well consider that against SGD$271,950 for a 2.0 tfsi a5 in singapore. that'll work out to $271k USD.

^ On the surface those prices look ridiculous, but you only see part of the story there. When comparing prices in different countries you need o take into account the average salary and the tax regime. Singapore has a policy of extremely low compulsory taxation and extremely high discretionary taxation. So you get more take home pay to spend on what you choose…..

I rent it on a 3+23 and it costs me feck all - amazing but true… AND as oversupply continues, it will only get better (cheaper). I was talking to one of my customers yesterday who runs a fleet of high end cars. Audi offered him a (and this is simply stunning) buy-one-get-one-free on any pair of"S's" recently....

A 3+23 is a 24 month rental period with 3 monthly payments due in month 1. In UK you can get all sorts.
I had an Audi A4 once on 3+6
Our Fiat 500 is on 3+36I like a 3+23 because I only need to pay for 1 service and I do not need to change the tyres before handing it back. And if I don't like it I only have to keep it 2 years….

Oh, and Paula and seriously considered moving to Singapore because we would be better off money-wise than we are in UK….Even with booze, cigs, cars etc etc costing far more than in Europe....
not to mention houses as well G. houses and cars. those are the things that can get you. only good thing is the low income taxes. but i always have the feeling that they f**ks us in other ways. btw, any picture of your e63?
-
correct me if i'm wrong though. basically you're paying a certain amount a month to rent this cars on a 2 year basis. and you're getting the e63 rental price for the price of renting a c63? so technically
3+23= 3 months of fees in the first month and normal on the 23 remaining months??
any links to have a look at one of those companies G? -
You have to shop around and negotiate but here are some examples. I pay GBP520 per month for a 3+23:

Finn, like G said, it's a business expense every year. Unless you are able to write your car off as an expense, I would recommend not leasing a vehicle.
Personally I like to buy pre owned cars that some other idiot already bought new, and then realized he couldn't afford. We bought our a3 with 19,000 miles and saved 8,000 dollars. The guy drove it for 10 months and had to trade it in for a Subaru because he couldn't afford it. No brainer in my book.
