Cars are a losing commodity. Commit to a house first. If you dont have a property, then dont bother about driving expensive cars. If you already have a property, then i would only advise you to think about this car (with a max 5 yr loan) if ure earning at least RM 12K a month. Dont bite off more than you can chew no matter how good looking the car is.

Cyber,

If I am not mistaken you own Vios rite , meaning you are earning more than 10K?
Hats off to you man.
My subordinate who earn around 3K just bought Caldina for 130K!! and I am just driving a Picanto ...lol

Agreed, agreed. On top of your advice, the prices of cars are artificial in this country in the first place.

Nowadays driving a big car doesnt mean he/she is indeed wealthy. Hats off to Cyber too and my gf's dad. Min 30k per month and his all time ride is a 5 years old Proton Waja and a Myvi.

Talking about pricing, anyone know how low is interest for hyundai car financing? Roughly if 15k downpayment on avante, dunno it will cost us how much per month.... just sake of asking, hehehehe.... : )

i calculated myself roughly rm900 per month for 9 years.

if retail RM95,000 (assume follow back current tag, no discount for such new car)
assume 3% per year, as my father bought previous generation avante..
RM15,000 deposit.

{(RM95,000-RM15,000) x [1+(3% x 9)} / 108 = RM940.74 per month

And make sure your GF is the only child! Poor Father In Law.......lol

By looking at the recent launches of H Tucson and Sonata which took the most 10 months after premiering , it looks like it won't be that long before we can see this beauty hits our road too.

After contemplating with Inspira,Forte,Altis,Fiesta and the pending new Civic I think Avante is the choice.
It is a beauty inside out and have garnered some good reviews as well.
So proudly I would like to put my name as one of buyers list..............


1 - W.ROOK - WHITE - 1.8AUTO


Add on guys........

If mati-mati wanna own an Avante.. assuming 10% downpayment and taking 9-year loan, salary at least 4k.

but i prefer the price of car lesser than my annual salary.. (thats y i m only driving a SLK - Small Little Kereta .. ).

W.ROOK, you paid deposit dy? Me not yet. I believe this is the potential buyer list right?

Me too not yet and yeah this is the propose buyers list.

What's the minimum deposit amount?

Deposit not sure yet. The booking fee is RM1k refundable. Anyway, I have asked few 3 SAs, and most of them don't give a very good deal for group booking. The best I got from a salesman is free full tank of petrol and a Papago or Garmin GPS. Have you asked any SA yet?

1 - W.ROOK - WHITE - 1.8AUTO
2 - yeowa - WHITE(or Silver) - 1.8AUTO
3 - ivn79 - WHITE - 1.8AUTO

but bcoz need to forkout more pocket money...hehehe

1.8 is not GDI right?

no indication yet. Will know in 2-3months time, I guess.

I remember someone mention that GDI 1.6 is not suitable due to the low quality fuel that we have in the market now, thats why I guessed it GDIless 1.8L

Haven't asked anyone yet but will do it soon.

See who else can give the best. One SA offers free labour service for 1 year but have to do it in Puchong. Will not be convenient for everybody.

For your reading pleasure.
