Xiaxue just got a free car (for a year)!

When I saw the blog post, I exclaimed, "Xiaxue got a free car!" and immediately turned a shade of green. Which car is it? A beautiful white colour Nissan Sylphy, no less.

Reading on, I found out that, actually, she gets to use 3 different rental cars for a whole year for free. Well, that is still a fantastic sponsorship given the high cost of car ownership in Singapore.

I am very happy for Xiaxue but reading this just when I published my last blog post on why the mature and sophisticated lease their cars is just an amazing coincidence.

Xiaxue said:

"Many of us, especially those with young children, hope to drive but it is simply too expensive to own a car in Singapore nowadays. The value of a car will always depreciate too.

 "The smarter option is to simply rent a car!

"My Sylphy is available for rent at Downtown Car Rentals for a day at only $135 - it is very reasonable!

"Drive it around to run errands, do groceries or bring the kiddos out for a picnic. You don't have to worry about insurance or road tax or even servicing the car, it's all inclusive!"

I mean, of course, she has to say this but I cannot imagine renting a car for $135 a day as being anywhere near being reasonable. If we were to rent a car for 2 days a week (to run errands and do groceries), that would set us back by at least $1,080.00 a month! Yikes! What is the size of our grocery bill in a month, I wonder?

Anyway, like I said, I am happy for Xiaxue but anyone who believes that anyone should consider renting a car regularly to run errands and to do groceries is probably bonkers.

OK, there, I have done it. There is not a chance in the world that I would get a rental car for free from any sponsor now. Sob.
