Someday I'll own a car. That day will come after I actually get my driving license. And actually make enough to afford a car. Until that day though, I will be content with public transport. But a man can dream right?
Except that that dream could turn into a nightmare. When you buy a car in Singapore, the price you pay consists of the actual price of the car, plus a whole bunch of taxes that I barely understand. I'm pretty sure that whenever I walk into a car showroom, car salesmen see the big red sign on my forehead that says "SUCKER".
Fortunately, one brave soul has developed an app to work out what kind of margins the car dealer is making, thus giving you some leverage when you talk to the sales guy. When you learn that he is making over $8,000 per car, asking for freebies becomes much easier.
SGCarPrice costs US$0.99 but that's a bargain considering how much cars cost in Singapore.

Another cool app! It'd be great for those planning to get a car soon.
