The higher cost of living in Singapore has driven a Singaporean delivery rider to buy a car across the border — a move that left several social media users calling it a «steal».A TikTok video shared on Jan 31 showed Afiq Zayany, 31, showing off his 4.8 litre Porsche Cayenne. The price? A cool RM18,000 (S$5,800), he said.Speaking to AsiaOne on Wednesday (Feb 11), Zayany said he saw «potential» in the used 2004 model - even with its age and faulty engines - when a friend shared its listing on Facebook Marketplace in Nov 2025. «The owner listed it at $8,000. I walked away and he called me back,» he said. «We agreed at $5,800. So, not bad.» A brand new Porsche Cayenne in Singapore — excluding the Certificate of Entitlement — starts from over $400,000. Meanwhile, listings on SGcarmart show that second-hand models start from $30,000. The cheapest Porsche Cayenne that AsiaOne found online in Malaysia is a 2004 model that cost around $9,000. While the car was paid fully in cash, its affordable price came with an asterisk mark.
