            <title>Clk cabriolet, The car in twilight</title>

            <description>&lt;img src='http://www.carswallpapers.us/thumbs/mercedes_benz_clk_350_cabriolet_2009_red-t2.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src='http://www.automedia.com/2009-New-Car-Buyers-Guide/photos/2009/Mercedes-Benz/CLK-Class/Convertible/Exterior/2_Rear_Left_Red.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Me and my dad made an agreement, that if I go to uni properly everyday.&lt;br /&gt;Then two more years when I turns 21, this car will be my bday presents from him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This car got four seats together even though my bestfriends + me is 5 persons together&lt;br /&gt;Never mind, I will let one of them walk instead..xD j/k&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;First I wanna state something. I wrote that this will be my 21 years bday gift? But I calculated the savings I need to, and I have to wait 3 years before I can get this, so I wont get this car untill I am in 3rd year of university&lt;br /&gt;When I starts saving which will be in 3 year I&amp;#39;m 21 already.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;my father and mother and father are retired .. they get 3k from their pension.. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well I will just make a small calculate to show how I can get that car.&lt;br /&gt;The car is expensive, but with 3 people saving up, or helping each others, it&amp;#39;s easy. (making this more realistic)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;my sis salary is rm70k anually&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the clk will cost rm200,000 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;My savings&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; i will get scholarship, and save as much money as possible  .. so in 3 years if i save RM6000 per month i can get RM18000 after 3 years..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;my dad&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My dad had opened a bank account for savings, he will put rm2000 in each month.¨&lt;br /&gt;He gave me the receipt, which shows rm57,428 put into the account  the first month. (the balance of his epf he never used after he was retired)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But just forget that, he will put RM2000 in each months. And it&amp;#39;s 44 months in 3 years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;RM2000 x 44months = RM88,000&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so RM18,000 + RM88,000 + RM57,428 = RM163428&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the car cost rm200,000 - rm163428 = RM36,572 = borrow from my sister&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;actually the 36k from my sister because he owes my dad for downpayment on her house when she just started her career and now she is a successful accountant&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!--QuoteBegin--&gt;&lt;div class='quotetop'&gt;QUOTE&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class='quotemain'&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEBegin--&gt;How to afford the car?&lt;br /&gt;The car will be under my fathers name&amp;#33;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why? Because he has years of experience which is 30/40 years. And his bonus insurance is HIGH. He have 60/80%, while I have 0%. Because I&amp;#39;m a newbie.&lt;br /&gt;He have that high bonus because he NEVER drove over the speed limits or crash on anything in his whole life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;His name is under his own car, my sisters car, and my brothers car. Because among them, he had the most bonus, and he will stay under my cars too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He will pay the insurance, while I pay for the petrol&lt;!--QuoteEnd--&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEEnd--&gt;</description>
