Car or No Car?

Dad gave an attractive offer a couple of weeks ago. He offered to sponsor us 50% of the cost of a car for downpayment. O_o

Tempting indeed.

Despite the tempting offer, believe it anot, I'm still rather apprehensive about sealing the deal. Even with the help from dad, me and Zim still need to fork up more than $800 per month just for car expenses such as HDB parking ($90!), office parking ($85), petrol, road tax, insurance, servicing, blah blah blah...Quite a burden indeed. It kinda makes me wonder how the other people on the roads afford to support a car.

Feedback from friends varied quite a bit. Though most are inclined towards the "don't buy" side. Zim has personally given the green light, but I'm still abit worried that we might be asking for more than we can handle.

Sigh, got some thinking to do....
