Yes, they will buy cars because they can afford them and cars save them time as well as provide them with comfort, privacy and convenience when commuting.

In my condo, there are many families with 2 cars. At present we still have sufficient lots for everyone, but if people delay their retirement to 65, and their children join the workforce, I fear that soon there will be insufficient lots. Mind you, our condo is next to an MRT station (2 min walk)!

So I really feel sorry for those who bought condos that have only 1 car lot for 1 apartment unit. They will not be able to get a second car park lot. Not only that, their visitors will have no where to park.
How much do you spent on your cars through out your life span?
Change 4 times - 1m
Cost associated with owning a car for 40 years - 1m
Total amount spent - 2m
That does not include lost of interest or opportunity cost over the 40 years.
