But buying Honda Civic 1.8 may means that you have to spend out like 2.5k per month, including instalment, roadtax, insurance, service and petrol?

Really for big spending liao?

I guess now the problem is about which type of car you afford..

rule of thumb: don't over-squeezed yourself..

but don't worry, many have learnt through hard ways..

you want to luxurious, you work like a cow and get empty bank account.

i always say moderate, don't look too high or too low on yourself.

for even a wira with 7 years, expect to pay about RM1k permonth..

Added on January 22, 2010, 9:30 pm I guess it is about whether you have the free money to do so..

if let's say 1K is you have to squeeze here and there (e.g. tight financial), then no point buy big car.

if you really still without debt and have little savings (10-15%) after that, you can do so..

in fact, all people who afford can buy.

Just don't buy a car that make yourself difficult.
If you are not financially good, buy a viva please, don't boost yourself and owe credit card..
