Credit, Car, Condo

It has been a pretty boring week. Loads of work, less sleep, less or somewhat no indulgence in luxury of any sort. Parents had been hinting again that they need the other car im using to work. I perfectly understand their need, having only one car to share between them to go to work, send my siblings to tuition, marketing, temple, it's a harsh juggle.

It's not like i couldnt afford a car but everytime i think of the sacrifices that comes with it, it makes me shudder. If i get a car, i can't simply resign from any work place without another job in hand, i can't simply throw everything and enrol in any course that i want to pursue, i can't do my masters full time, i can't go into a frenzied shopping spree once in a while and i can't buy anything too expensive that i like too much. Sigh! What bothers me the most is being tied to the responsibilty of having a job to pay for the car. I need to think fast.

And if in case, i do resort to finally buying a car, i need to think of what car to buy. All protons are out of the question, with a glimpse of SAVVY, i have lost my remaining faith in the national car industry. Myvi would be next, but i'm not really comfortable sitting in it, the front seat a tad too low for me. Kenari, comfortable, low petrol consumption but no power. I accelerate at 100 km/ per hr at times on normal roads, and i hate hearing the engine struggling to keep up with the acceleration. Been eyeing the Vios and Honda City, and so far almost everyone (except my parents and one of my friends) i have met are against the whole idea. Too expensive, not for a starter, can u afford ah? u sure can pay ah? U sure can keep paying a huge sum for the next nine years ah? sakit lo..! The car's current price is 87,700 for the full specs, not sure abt the other version.

It's not like i want to buy the car to show off. I just love the car, plus i have more faith in a foreign car, comparing my dad's hyundai with the iswara. Benefits of vios/city:- low petrol consumption, no irritating vibrating noises, smooth ride, resell value, comfortable for my height.

Dad suggested chevrolet aveo, priced around 75,000, a cute, eye catching car but the car uses single shaft engine, plus the petrol consumption is 15 cents per km on highway and no resell value. Spark is cool too, but priced at 49,000, i would rather get a kancil.

Well, if you ask me, i would rather get the Audi 1.8 A4, but..at 230,000, i can just dream on for now.

So, it's a fight between Myvi/Kenari/Vios/City/Aveo/some other car which i might eye on later or no car at all+resignation to pursue my studies. Let's see which one wins.

Dad said i'm such a fuss pot when it comes to buying cars. What does he know about my 'pain', he earns more than me.

Oh God..i need more money..
