The price of a car is only the beginning.

When you're shopping for a car in Singapore, it's easy to focus on the number on the price tag. But the actual cost of owning one goes much further.

You also need to think about:
💰 COE and registration costs
📉 Depreciation
💳 Loan interest
🛡️ Insurance
🧾 Road tax
🅿️ Parking
⛽ Petrol or charging
🛣️ ERP
🔧 Servicing and maintenance

And the amount you spend on each can vary depending on the car you choose, how much you drive, where you park and how long you intend to keep the vehicle.
That's why two cars with similar purchase prices can have very different ownership costs over time.

Before committing to your next car, don't just ask: “Can I afford to buy it?”
Ask: “Can I afford everything that comes after?”

Swipe through for a breakdown of the costs worth considering before buying a car in Singapore. 🇸🇬

🚗 Buying a used car in Singapore? Dealer or private seller?

There isn't necessarily a right or wrong answer.

Buying directly from an owner can give you the opportunity to negotiate directly and potentially find a lower asking price. But you'll also need to take greater responsibility for checking the vehicle, arranging financing, handling paperwork and assessing the car's condition.

Buying from a dealer, on the other hand, may give you access to a wider selection of vehicles, financing options, inspection processes, warranty options and assistance with the administrative side of the transaction.

So which one should you choose?
It ultimately comes down to what matters most to you:
💰 Price
🔍 Vehicle condition
💳 Financing
🛡️ Warranty and support
📝 Convenience
🚗 Choice of vehicles

Swipe through our guide to see how the two options compare.

"I hate my car... but I can't sell it yet."😩

We've heard plenty of reasons why car owners think they have to keep their car:
❌ "I still have an outstanding loan."
❌ "I just renewed my road tax."
❌ "I should wait until COE goes up."
❌ "My car is too old."
❌ "I need to repair everything first."
❌ "Selling privately will definitely get me more."

But are these actually true?
Not always.
For example, an outstanding loan doesn't automatically mean you can't sell your car.

The financing simply needs to be settled before the vehicle ownership can be transferred. Remaining road tax is also transferred to the new owner when the car is sold.
And when it comes to getting the best value, waiting for COE prices to move isn't a guaranteed strategy. Your car's age, condition, mileage, remaining COE and current market demand can all affect its value.

The bigger question is:
Why keep a car you no longer want just because you think selling it is too complicated?

With DirectCars, you can submit your vehicle details and have your car presented to a network of dealers and automotive partners, making it easier to explore your selling options without handling every part of the process yourself.

🚗 What no one tells you about selling your car...

Selling a car isn't simply: "Someone offered me a price, so let's sell it."
There are actually quite a few things to settle before the keys can change hands.

You may need to:
🔎 Work out your car's current market value
💰 Check your outstanding loan
📄 Gather your vehicle and service records
🔧 Be transparent about the car's condition
📝 Agree on the price, deposit and terms
💳 Make sure payment is properly settled
🛡️ Coordinate the buyer's insurance
🔄 Complete the ownership transfer
🔑 Prepare all keys, documents and accessories for handover

And when you're handling everything yourself, you are responsible for coordinating every step.

That's why selling through a dealer network can make the process much more straightforward.

With DirectCars, you can get your vehicle valued and reach a network of dealers and buyers, helping you explore your selling options without having to manage the entire process alone.

🚗💸 How much do you really need to earn to own a car in Singapore?

Many people look at the car price or monthly instalment and think, "I can afford that."
But the real cost of owning a car goes far beyond the purchase price.

Using a typical mass-market Cat A car as an illustrative August 2026 benchmark, the costs can include:
• Depreciation: ~$19,400/year
• Insurance: ~$1,200/year
• Road tax: ~$742/year
• Loan interest: ~$26,548 over 7 years
• Parking: ~$1,320/year
• Petrol: ~$2,500/year
• ERP: ~$360/year
• Servicing & maintenance: ~$1,000/year

That works out to roughly $2,526/month in total ownership costs under these assumptions.

If you use a 10–15% household-income benchmark for transport spending, that could mean a household income of roughly $16,800–$25,300/month to keep the estimated car cost within that range.

Of course, your actual figure can be much higher or lower depending on your car, insurance profile, mileage, parking, financing and lifestyle.

Because the real question isn't just "Can I buy a car?"
It's "Can I comfortably afford to own one?" 🚗

Would you still consider owning a car at this cost?
