one of the reasons hybird car is to save petrol...
so i dont see the purpose by using fuel cell if the petrol price still going up...

unless there have the possibility to stabilize the Hydrogen if extract from water and use this technology on car instead...

as long as he didn't borrow money from me, I wouldn't be worked up about how he can't afford his ride.. lol..
maybe next time when he kennot tahan liao, he can sell cheap cheap at used car dealer price.

yes... i means no point to use petrol to extract electric since the petrol price keep increase in the future...
hence as what u said the fuel cell technology doesnt cheap either as you claimed and i doesn't see the beneficial of car manufacturer to use this technology on his new products... i think car manufacturer rather go for water extraction for hydrogen if compare to fuel cell as we can get water easily from anywhere...

cheap or no cheap, we do not know.. no point speculating the cost now..

for example, 10years ago no one selling Li-Po batteries commercially, now found in every corner of the earth in mobile devices.. and start to use in Electric vehicles, so it's hard to say...

Wah hot topic now become to fuel saving technology he he

OK,come back to the topic.
Besides,if I buy a car with full cash is that ok?I heard that someone will check on you is that true?

as long as you can declare the source, its ok.

not those drug moeny, or bookie, or bapa ayam kind.

If cant declare how?the shop wont sell to you even you have that much money?

u can buy, and ppl will get alerted, and the next thing you know, u're in jail!

there is a anti money laundry act, and so on.

but i'm sure those with dirty money knows how to get around with it.

just tell them u earn the money from stock market speculation
anyway, i think it is because of lhdn.. they will come after you if your income which you declared/paid tax does not commensurate with your spending.. unless your parents buy for you then no problem on your side

,er, lets talk back about buying cars.

saw in mazda 3 forum, a chap wanna buy mazda 3 mps, rm175k, kena rejected.

bank said can only buy rm125k mazda 3.

why? cos he only makes rm3k++, got credit card loan and housing loan and personal loan.

and the chap is so happy. i was like....wtf?

perhaps his family owns a gold mine?

he's happy that the bank still offer him loan to buy up to 125k car kua.. means his credit line still a-ok..

Wao TS so rich, I have been working for 1++ year, plan to buy a car since beginning of this year but think and think and think again then no action simply because installment for 500-600 per month will make me no/less saving... 2.8k per month salary.

so many youngsters like tht, spend beyond their means

Herm.. financial talk in FnF again..?

Good advise... buying car based on your annual salary will be considered safe...

my car is lesser than my annual salary...

Others will call ppl like us crazy and give lame excuse like "how the country gonna sustain if everyone lowering their debts or buying cheaper car"... Bolehland is one country where most ppl think it is normal to buy a car worth much more than our annual salary... placing too much debt on a liability..

I was amazed to see so many foreign cars are getting more and more in KL... cant even get a parking in Midvalley and Sunway, so many new foreign car models with new number plates...

Msian getting richer and richer? or I guess more like getting into more and more debts..

Anyway... Dealers and manufacturers are doing a great job in marketing and branding to create temptation enticing the public... Bolehland will be forever prosperous with so many youngsters contributing the government taxation and banking's interest so long they dont go into default...

Buying a car lesser than your annual salary will definitely save you from the maintenance costs that WILL kill you. The thing about why people love buying luxury cars.. its mainly for satisfaction.

I know its crazy, earning rm10k a month, but only enough to afford a civic 2.0, but at the end of the year, savings itself also got more than rm10k. must look at everything in the long run, not the short run.

why you all like to lecture ppl on financial talk.. ? financial guru izzit? got write book like kiyosaki ar? earn alot ? other ppl's risk/loan their pasal la.. they just want to talk about their pasttime hobby which is automobile.

The thread is about "How much I need to earn to afford 100' car" ma.
It is not "How much monthly installment for 100k car"

oic. Ok then lecture away.
