He never bothered to pay the money back. Then, even though he never bothered to pay the money back, the parents asked my ex to lend him money to buy a house! My ex didn't have home herself, plus she just figured he was a high risk borrower, and turned him down (I think the parents meant that my ex shouldn't pursue being repaid and my ex saw it differently). <BR/><BR/>This is well off topic though.Patrick Cowsillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12904899672214340947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5353489745782837825.post-91583807676256995952008-02-23T22:36:00.000+08:002008-02-23T22:36:00.000+08:00Still, NT$600,000 is lot for a young driver to com...Still, NT$600,000 is lot for a young driver to come up with.

I got it in Ohio, which could mean that it was a better car than Agnes' BMW. (Cars imported to Taiwan are different than those imported to the States - all kinds of stuff is taken out of the frame to make the cost cheaper to compensate for taxes and etc.).<BR/><BR/>Still, NT$600,000 is lot for a young driver to come up with.

They paid a third down, and paid monthly instalments of 11K. No joke. Basically like financing a house. The first 3 years is interest free. They did a survey a while back. 90% of 3 series BMWs are own by people in their mid 20s. While 5series are the primely owned by mafia type dudes, and the 7 series market dominated by the rich business owner type.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5353489745782837825.post-50901255818620125312007-11-20T13:29:00.000+08:002007-11-20T13:29:00.000+08:00I doubt anyone could buy a BMW on payments of NT$1...I doubt anyone could buy a BMW on payments of NT$11,000 a month, unless the downpayment was huge (so that would disclude most young drivers and gas station attendants). <BR/><BR/>The average cost of a BMW is NT$1,800,000.

On the contrary, they usually rent, instead of buying a vehicle to run business. As I know, those BMW TAXIs should come from second hand market, then be decorated as a cab.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
