ye shit is dumb

2018-04-23 10:11:02 UTC  

probably been in loads of accident too

2018-04-23 10:11:18 UTC  

I reckon people get in one atleast once every 2-3 years

2018-04-23 10:58:00 UTC  

35 000 United States Dollar?

2018-04-23 10:58:05 UTC  

For a fucking car?

2018-04-23 10:58:47 UTC  

Must be a really nice car

2018-04-23 11:10:47 UTC  

Nah it's not good at all haha

2018-04-23 11:10:57 UTC  

And they paid a shit ton for the license and registration stuff etc

2018-04-23 11:11:33 UTC  

And all cars get decommissioned after ten years here. The reason chinks cars never export is because they don't pass safety standards

2018-04-23 11:11:47 UTC  

It's called a changan I believe.

2018-04-23 11:11:59 UTC  

I've also seen anbrand called "Trumpfu"

2018-04-23 11:12:17 UTC  

And one called BYD

2018-04-23 11:12:30 UTC  

(that most chinks think is imported but it's not)

2018-04-23 11:14:00 UTC  

By the way they've had the car for 4 weeks and someone already hit them haha

2018-04-23 11:14:11 UTC  

It was just a side swipe in the parking lot but still huge scratch

2018-04-23 11:17:41 UTC  

Jesus christ

2018-04-23 11:18:02 UTC  

What a waste of money

2018-04-23 11:18:21 UTC  

How much is a second hand merc there?

2018-04-23 11:18:42 UTC  

Something like a base model 2017 CLA

2018-04-23 11:37:09 UTC  

over the 10 years, assuming you pay your car cash with no interests, you have a base of 291 $ / month running costs without maintenance, fuel, etc

2018-04-23 11:37:26 UTC  

is it really worth it to own a car, instead of just renting a car when you need one?

2018-04-23 11:37:52 UTC  

I doubt you can accumulate 291 $ of car rental costs / month if the prices are similar to Taiwan

2018-04-23 11:49:55 UTC  

god that place looks borring

2018-04-23 11:50:38 UTC  

lol

```Pro Tip: If you get an opportunity to move to china, don't take it.

```

2018-04-23 11:53:42 UTC  

what is that subreddit lol

2018-04-23 11:56:21 UTC  

some sort of /r/china circlejerk subreddit or something

2018-04-23 11:56:30 UTC  

mostly just expats saying how siht china is though

2018-04-23 11:56:31 UTC  

lo

2018-04-23 12:20:37 UTC  

expats?

2018-04-23 12:25:20 UTC  

people who move to china or anywhere else other than their home country

2018-04-23 12:25:32 UTC  

most average new burger cars are 16k

2018-04-23 12:26:14 UTC  

they usually have all the bells and whistles, power windows, etc

2018-04-23 12:30:15 UTC  

Most expensive car I've ever had was a Fiat Punto for 3k ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

2018-04-23 12:30:26 UTC  

But the, cars are a status symbol in China, and in most of Asia

2018-04-23 12:30:44 UTC  

(and I think Americans also consider cars to be a status symbol, much more than Europeans do)

2018-04-23 12:37:36 UTC  

in london you still see cheap cars in expensive houses

2018-04-23 12:37:36 UTC  

lol

2018-04-23 12:37:47 UTC  

so yeah i guess

2018-04-23 12:41:18 UTC
