How to get your parents' to buy you a car

1. State the urgency of your need. For me it was having my uni far from home, and if I get my car this week, I'll have 2 weeks to practice driving, and to get used to it. If I get it by next week, I'll only have a week to practice. The week before my uni starts, I'll be in Shanghai, China.

2. If Step 1 fails, or generates a lukewarm response like, 'There's no rush...' then put forth an ultimatum. Mine was, 'If I don't get a car by Sunday next week, I'll use my RM XX and get myself a junk car.' Make sure you are ready to carry out this threat.

My dad ordered my mom to CarWorld along Jalan Ampang the very same day ie. today. This beautiful black MyVi now has a booking fee of RM1000 in my name.

But hey, there are lots of things to bring and remember before you decide to buy a car! Yeah, I just realised that. Sigh, turns out, I won't even get my car for about 10 working days. But that's another little story.
