The prices of residential
property in and around the Klang Valley is starting to sound
ridiculous. A few years ago you could get a double story terrace
house in Petaling Jaya for about RM400,000. I recently stopped by a
developer's showroom for an condominium project located in Ara
Damansara where I currently reside. The thousand and a bit more
square foot apartment was priced in the region of Seven Hundred
Thousand Ringgit. So from a few short years half a million Ringgit
now gets you a studio apartment and nothing much else. So the
question you have to ask is that what could I buy with RM400,000.00?
A Mercedes Benz actually since a house is out of the question.
Anyway, I recently made
myself available for a long test drive of the newly facelifted
2013 Mercedes Benz E-Class. The car I had my hands on for a while was
an E250 courtesy of the people who sold me my C180 and I have to say
that this car is a proper Mercedes Benz and more. Surprisingly more.
