K and I got ourselves a new toy today.. our second car!
We spent the whole afternoon going to car showrooms and used car shops.. For the past few weeks, we have been deciding between buying a brand new car, or a used car.. but definitely a 5-seater car that can seat both of us, baby and C.
It was either Option A: Buy a brand new high end car and sell our beloved MX5, or Option B: Buy a lousy used car and keep the MX5.
For Option A, we went to Cycle & Carriage to test drive the new C-class 180, but it turned out to be a lousy drive and not as comfortable as we thought it would be. Then we went to the Renault showroom and test drove the Megane.. we had shortlisted a used Megane on SG car mart and thought we would test drive a new one and check out their financing.
For Option B, we went to a used car company in Tagore and test drove the Megane we targeted on SG car mart. This was by far the cheapest and most worthwhile car to buy in the market in terms of depreciation. Plus, according to K, the Megane boasts an excellent safety rating of 5/5, something that most other Japanese or Korean cars dare not even mention. Definitely an important feature given that we will be driving my precious baby in this car!!
If everything goes well, we will be able to drive our new toy home tomorrow!! = )
