Here is a simple way to calculate loan payments:
Example: Car price: RM100,000 D/p 10%: RM10,000 Loan amount: RM90,000 Int.: 2.5% p.a. Tenure: 7yrs First, establish total interest in percentage: 2.5 x 7 = 17.5% Ok, now take the loan amount, RM90,000 and multiply by total interest: => RM90,000 x 1.175 = RM105,750 Now, take total and divide by number of months: => RM105,750 / 84 = RM1,258.95 per month |

QUOTE(izputra @ Feb 27 2012, 04:28 PM) I changed my original car battery after using it for 1 year 9 months. My original battery is MF48-23GL. After some discussion with my trusted battery supplier, i ended up with the new maintenance free Century Marathoner 55D23L c/w 15 month warranty. Note that mine is Forte 2.0. I noticed that Forte 1.6 use different battery model/capacity. In fact I've test drove the 2.0 twice.. but still yet to buy.. Not to say what battery is good..but as long as u choose a branded/reputable one, u should be on the safe side provided that the battery capacity is matched (or higher) with the original battery Added on February 27, 2012, 4:33 pm Yeahh..u are absolutely right. There's no turning back & no regret at all...  |

so the first (1000KM) service, they will only change engine oil and oil filter and they MIGHT do alignment. they don't do a 21 point inspection or something?

QUOTE(epo @ Feb 28 2012, 03:56 PM) bro... what's the symptoms when the battery started to kong...? That's the thing. The night before, the car able to start as usual, but the very next morning, it simply fails to crank up to life. No symptom at all i have to say (or maybe i'm not too concerning on that)..so, better pay a little more attention from now on any small symptom (if any) of weakening battery |
