Sometimes I wonder... many many people buy their first cars (or upgrade to bigger cars) when a newborn comes along. No doubt the car allows you to ferry your family around with much convenience... but with a newborn AND a car arriving at one go, doesn't that put a lot of pressure on balancing the monthly income/expenses?

 

Is the freedom offered by the car worth the opportunity cost of ~$10k+ of additional expenses annually? (which would serve better to start an education fund for the kid, if you are the sort to plan early)

 

My opinion is that surviving without a car when a newborn comes along is easily achievable. Taxi's are bountiful & won't cost much as compared to owning a car (not to mention that parking is horrendous nowadays)

 

Would like to hear some opinions from guys who have just started families...

 

 

(p/s Throttle, this was an excellent point :thumb:)

Bought a car recently as my 4th kid is coming.

 

Reason? After a few nerve wrecking taxi trips. I would reckon the safety of my family cost more than the price of a car.

 

When you are in a cab, you are at the mercy of the driver and the child has no proper restraint. Now, every child is properly seated with their proper restraint, and no more "daytona" type trips with half-asleep cabbies driving old taxis with no ABS.

2011: BMW R1200R Classic (still riding)

true. sometimes i get a headache sitting in the backseat of the cab. if they get any worse, we wont need roller coasters in theme parks.

i love dividends.

You selling?

 

Mileage if real is indeed low, too low.

Single owner? OMV?

 

This car not many men looking to buy becos no cult status unlike the SL series. I think you have to wait a bit longer. It is more popular with women.

some people dont even have a job...let alone a bonus...

Don't mess with old farts. Age and treachery will always overcome youth and skill.

Bullshit and brilliance only come with age and experience.
