To buy or not to buy....that is the question

Right now I am deciding whether or not to buy Nissam Silvia, S15 that my colleague's brother-in-law is selling. The asking price is a bit on the high side since the car is 3 years old.......but the good thing is that it is fully mod.....with full body kit plus spoiler and 18 inch sport rims....with blow off valve.....the test drive in it was great although I wasn't the one driving....(I was wearing heels ba so I dun feel like driving) Like I said the test drive is great but the down side of the mod suspension is the comfort.....no comfort there at all......you can practically feel every bump and pothole on the road. One might ask me how come I want to buy a second hand car at 30K....the thing is that I like the idea that it is fully mod.....another thing is that my top priority is speed....this car can offer me more speed that Toyota Celica and the best thing is that it a 3 year old car......Hmmm....but then it is pricey even with all the mod...so I will be going with Bi to look at more Nissan Silvia without any modification and then I can personally overlook the modification.

Here is a picture of how a normal Nissan Silvia would look like....
If Silvia is not modified...then i would say that it look pretty normal......Here's another picture of a Silvia...bodykit has been added but then the hood remains untouched....the spoiler is the same as the picture below


Notice how I only posted the pearl white version of Silvia.....Coz the colour that I wanna buy Pearl White......The version that I wanna buy comes with personalized bodykit and as well as a customized hood......and the owner will throw in the original hood bumper and rims with the original tyres......Seems like a good deal ho???? But then this is a big investment so being the accountant that I am I would like to be sure that I am getting a good deal.......

Its a pity that I dun have any photo of the Silvia that I wanted to buy....the colour suited me very well....its pearl white......After looking at the car.....there are a couple of things that I want to change if I do buy that car.....I will sell away the 18 inch rims....its too big......and comfort will be sacrificed........another thing is the fromt bumper....it's too low.....so I might either change back to the original bumper or I might remove 3 cm from it.....since the owner added 3cm to the original body kit.....The cushion cover inside is a bit dirty but then that's ok since its only a cushion cover and I can easily replace it.....so that is not a very big issue.....

Isn't Silvia a beauty.....some call it a feminine verison of Nissan Skyline..... I still remember that back in Perth....Clement was telling me that S15 was his dream car. Actually, Nissan Skyline and Nissan Fairlady was my dream car.......But someone told me not to get Nissan 350Z coz the power will be too much for me to control and Bi is also worried that I might drive very fast if I am alone on my way to Seria......But to own a fast car is always one of my wishes...

According to Norman (Bi's friend), he said that its a reasonable price at 26k and that he would help me to get it back in tip top shape....and all at an affordable price....Couldn't thank him enough......thanks to all the people that I had pestered for more information....Hopefully I can reach a conclusion before this weekend.....

Any friends who are reading this entry....if you have any comment that might help me make reach my deicision just gimme a call.......just lemme know whether this is a good buy or not.....

There have been so many instances where I came by my blog and I want to blog about so many things in my life. But there were also as many instances where I just gave up and kept my thoughts to myself. I am 34 years old in 2017 and soon I will be another year older. I am getting more jaded every year because of the things that I have seen. I also feel aimless. I feel as if I am meant to do something more than this. I do not want to wake up and go to work Monday to Friday and so happy when its Friday and becoming depressed when its Sunday (coz the next day would be Monday) It's not like I want to be a millionaire or something like that. Even though money is still important (Hey, I still gotta eat, cant very well grow my own food), it no longer hold the same position as compared to a few years ago. I do not care very much for status as well. Its all so fleeting. After being married in 2013, I am still childless at the moment. Its not by design but I dun mind it all that m...

Unveiling

I was so excited yesterday. Someone called and told me that it was ready for pick up. What is ready for pick up? What makes me so excited? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . What else would make me so excited other than cars? Woo Hoo!!!!! Subaru Impreze STi !!!! How cool is that? Bi fetched me yesterday around 5pm to pick up the car. I could not sit still at home. Was feeling so excited. STi has 3 settings, Intelligence, Sport and Sport Sharp. I read an article online saying that the Intelligence mode makes the STi crawls like a snail. Hmmmm, their exact words not mine. So Bi and me took the car out for a short drive. We were kinda disappointed with the power. It was then we realised that the setting was at intelligence. OMG!!!! When we changed the settings to Sport Sharp, the power is unbelievable. Its like 3 times faster and more powerful. We hit 180 km/h in less than 2 minutes (mite be less if not for those few turtles on the road). In the past S15 will need quite some time to hit 16...

After you by Jojo Moyes

After I read Me Before You by Jojo Moyes  a few years ago, I was waiting for the sequel. What would happen to Lou after Will left? What would her life be? If I am Lou, I will constantly ask myself 'Why am I not enough?' 'Is there anything that I could have done to change his mind?' 'Was it all just me? Just in my mind?' In this sequel, Lou was a wreck! But it's understandable though, she had just lost the love of her life. She has lost someone who had shown her the different aspects of life. Showed her that the life she have had is so unbelievably small. There is so much more to live for. Showed her how she could have made a difference! I couldn't put the book down and I finished it within 1 and a half day. It was strangely compelling. You will be rooting get for Lou all the way. Although there are times that you can't help but get angry with her! 'What was she thinking??????' There was a part in the book that addresses the length of ti...
