Maybe you should get a Second Hand Vios around 50K ?

2k gross income buy 76k car. After EPF & others, take home pay only 1600. Have you factor in insurance, maintenance, service, car wash, wax & polish, slight bodywork damage & repairs, petrol, change tyres?

you everyday drink pipe water while your 76k piece of crap drinks 1.90 per litre black gold. You slave to car or car slave to you?

you no need to do savings for retirement, buy house or get married wan ka? at your budget, you should consider a 2nd hand 15k-18k car.

9 years loan ar? you know how much interest you are paying bor? est around 18k, your junk is 76k, that around 24% of your car price. Want to drive vios till you become ahpek ka?

No point showing off when your pockets are empty. Get real lar

im not showing off ma.. i heard that vios FC is good and as i live in KL, i thought i could save usage of "black gold". my 2K income is just for temporary as i waiting to be confirm then mybe i have another 2++ @ 3++..

i aware that there are many factor such as insurance, maintenance, service, car wash, wax & polish, slight bodywork damage & repairs, petrol, change tyres like you said but i cant stop thinking what other car that mybe suit me other than Vios.

since in here have many experience Vios owner, so mybe i will use your advice.. mybe in my dream i can own Vios..hahaha

thank u all

Added on October 20, 2011, 9:34 ami also thinking about secondhand Vios as i couldn't afford to buy new vios.

But it is good to buy second Vios? what should i check if i go to see the car?

How i want to know the car is in good condition and the seller did not bluff or hiding smthing from me?

buying 2nd hand car is higher risk hence need to set aside even more 'emergency' cash.
This risk may be reduced if you

a. are knowledgeable about cars or have someone (e.g. mechanic friend) to check for you
b. target cars with cheaper spare parts
c. dun buy too old as every car parts deteriorate with age and usage

I just traded in my 2003 ViosG for 42K. it's actually an over-trade by TopMark for buying a new Prius from UMW
The highest offer i got from 2nd hand car dealers was 38K but they will advertise it for 48K, perhaps sell 45-46K .. just to share their margins as an example for you to chase after direct sellers as an option.

Meanwhile, back to your finance, the recommended benchmark for urban dwellers in Malaysia would be 1-year gross salary. Hence if you earn 2K monthly, try to get a car around 24K.

based on my search, the car that cost 24K usually is older than 10 years and cannot be finance by bank. and i must take personal loan or credit..

thinking about car make my head dizzy and headache ma.. i don't know what to do.. maybe at last i should buy Malaysian car.. Go Malaysia...hehehe

there are plenty of good condition 2nd hand cars around, you need to know what to look at. And Vios is nothing special once you look beyond the toyota badge.

dear sifus.. may i know whats the average waiting period for model J after placing a booking on it? thanks

i waited 3 weeks for G, some more that time is during Japan nuclear disaster...

car is already made, ECU come from Japan

get Saga FLX then..save fuel and cheaper

If u want cheaper, second hand saga(LMST) or those old skool Saga using Magma engine is very good on FC. You can get within RM8k-RM10k for 2004 year old car.

Mizox,

a 2008 PROTON SAGA BLM 1.3 (A) M-LINE will cost around your yearly salary .. and vampire chicken (LOL !) is right,
brand new top of the range Saga FLX under RM45K would still be a much safer choice than a new Vios, financially for you.

yo..vios owner reporting in..06 1.5G vios...planning to get a anti-roll bar for the car...any suggestion? hmm

Straight away change suspension if you havent..

i got my J auto less than 3 weeks on august. maybe now can get 1-2 weeks cz my case, festive(raya) season..many people buy new car.
