My First Owned Car

It is tough looking for cars, especially for someone like me who does not know much about cars. I wanted mileage below 100k and preferably Make that is 1997 or newer and with an initial budget of USD$5k. Initially I am looking for either a Honda or TOyota as both were recommended by most people and both have good resale value and easy to maintain and is a gas-saver compared to American made cars, at least I am told. Soon we realised that $5k budget is kinda low and you probably cant find a good and reliable and presentable car with peanuts and especially with a mileage of lower than 100k (cos we wanted to be sure it could sell in 2 years time and not too worn out after 2 years). So we see our budget got increased day by day and eventually to $8-9k. I was told "why not a beetle?" since you could get one with a little bit more. One could probably afford to drive a Honda or TOyota in Singapore but not a Beetle. "Beetle la" as T puts it "might as well..." After much considerations and a few test-drive and car-hunting trips and consulting the non other My Heavenly Father, a decision was made. As you can see... my most lovely yElLoW BeEtLe!!!

This is a good deal, with mileage of approx 38k and interior and exterior looks new and works pretty well and is YeLlOw! YeLLoW is my current favourite colour... (My fav top is also YeLlOw too!!! hee...)
