Yeah..the corolla seg is fine..but what about a proton wira?

is there a general guide on how much we should be spending for the monthly repayment loan for car ? e.g. 20%-30% of salary ?

Currently considering these

1. Brand : Proton Putra Manual 1.8, Mazda 2 1.5 and Toyota Vios 1.5
2. Budget : Maximum Rm 750 per month
3. New/Used/Unreg : Used / New
4. Specs : 1.5 and above
5. Transmission : Prefer manual
6. NA or Turbocharged : NA
7. Type : Any
8. Remarks : Want a fun car. Good handling for high way. Good FC (for a 1.5-1.8). Cheap spare parts. Services.

Can someone without a driving licence purchase a car even he is financially able to? Your help is much appreciated

Got questions if i attempt to buy 2nd hand car.

Details:
1. Brand: BMW e36 (92)
2. Budget: 30k
3. Used
4. Transmission. manual

Questions:
i) Worth to buy for weekend use?
ii) For 1992 car, high maintenance?
iii) High fuel consumption?
iv) Longest period of loan that I can apply for?

Hope anyone can give me some comments. >_< Thx

Good to ask that.

The minimal requirement will be 1/3 of ur net salary. The salary should be at best fixed basic salary n minus EPF/SOSCO in my opinion.

But i would advise to go minimal 1/4 of ur net salary instead. Cause u never know expetiture for ur car ownership might raise, ie car tolls, petrol or emergency repairs.

750 per month and with even max 9 yr loans with minimum downpayment of 10% of car price, its quite determine which one u can go to.

If ur budget is below 50k n dont wanna take a long loan, why not settle for a used waja manual? Can be obtained at 20-35k around there.

U wont able to obtain loan coz its a 18 yr old car. I may suggest to fork at least 40k, presumely 30k++ to buy the car and the remaining for wear n tear parts.

Overall, i dont think its worth to buy for weekend use.

I am looking to buy used car under RM30,000. Shortlisted:
a) 2007 Perodua Viva 1.0 Auto - RM29,500
b) 2006 Perodua Kelisa 1.0 Auto - RM29,000

My requirement:
1) Least maintainance issue
2) Fuel Cost

Which of the above 2 models suit me better?

if manual kelisa for the sure winner. if auto dunno

Anyone know if the banks are planning to raise interest rates in the future? Both for new and used car loans?

The sales person has been pushing me to place my booking saying that the interest rates will go up this week but I try not to believe sales people all that much, I used to be one too.

Hi guys. what's the average loan rate nowadays for used car?
Need recommendation too for used car, with budget around rm25-30k, with low maintenance cost and not older than 2003/2004.
Is Chevrolet Aveo 1.5 (Auto) any good?
IINM, it use some special spark plugs, and FC is not good. Am i right?
Please kindly advice.

already ask used car dealer....3.8% for used car...the longer used car, the higher interest will be...well i think they are bluffing, this interest has been going on from last year already...

dude, Bank Negara already increase their Overnight Policy up to 0.5%
its not just a sales talk. its true.

heard one of the forummer already contact various bank and the interest will be at 3~3.5 for 7 years loan (74K loan)
but he said next week only increase. better you check with the banker first.

sure ka, 3.8% for used car? what about new car? so which 1 is more worth it to purchase? Actually planning to get 1 used car......Any used car dealer to recommend?

newer car should be better i think. where do u get that price? i thought the price difference would be bigger than that

Thanks for the info, I've checked around and it looks pretty confirmed. BLR has gone up so expect car interest rates to follow.

So the question is should I go buy that 320d today... hm...

if u concern about fuel cost, i don't think u should consider a 2+ litre car. anyway, between the 2 maybe go for camry, although style-wise honda looks better (personal opinion of course )

mmm...
i would need suggestion for a new car
monthly commitment would be ard 550-600
if possible, a sedan instead of small car.
what are my choices other than saga?
and, i dont mind longer loan period~
