if your company giving you rm300 car allowance then your monthly repayment should be less than twice that amount.
so you're basically top-up rm300 from your own pocket.
don't put fuel, parking and toll claims into that equation because that is just reimbursement from what you have already spent.
yes, you do "earn" abit from mileage but that depends on driving habits.
think of it this way, whatever you get extra from mileage every month you need to keep for car maintenance which is about 100-250 depending on car model.
you need to spend that extra you earn from mileage every 1 and a half month because you're doing 2500km per month, most cars need service every 3000-5000km.

of course u can over stretch yourself.
get a nice car, repayment about 1000.
but thats alot more than 300 the company paying you.
you need to topup 2x the amount.
then need to fork out more for maintenance.

between vios, elantra, attrage, which is worth the bang for buck?

Guys, would the new satria neo r3 be a good car to purchase?

Tried google review of the neo r3 but *couldnt find a decent by drivers for drivers kind. Am looking for a car around that price. Dun want Myvi la, too mainstream. LoL

Considered civic(hybrid n petrol) 2nd, just dont feel can pay monthly installments(budget around 700/month n 10-20k(depend how much my old car trade in) dp)

Fc minimum 7.5km/liter would be nice. Maintenance I can a bit high(~2.5k/annum), company give some allowance.

to the sifus here,

what are the difference between the rush and perodua nautica and would a 08' perodua nautica at 45k~ be a good buy?

thanks

Dear Sifu here, my friend is offering me his Honda City 09 (current model), mileage around 70k+, with a price of 47.5k. No accident, some scratch on front bumper bitten by dog (really!), passenger side window changed due to smash by thief. Condition reasonable.

Is this a reasonable offer? Are there other better alternatives? PROTON or Perodua models not preferred.

Thank you

Dear all, need your advise. Believe it or not. I'm thinking of Kia picanto or Proton Preve! (max 60k is obvious) Yes, small car versus big car. Which one to choose?

Want a comfortable ride, good nvh.
I'm currently driving kancil 660 manual.
Take lrt to work, so mostly I drove around 10k km only per year.
99% I'm alone or with a passenger only when driving the car and as good as 90% city drive.
Initially was thinking of getting picanto, but the affordable price tag in Preve really seducing me. But then again I doubting whether Proton quality.

Hi,
Anyone Know how much the used car dealer will take below altis?

Toyota Altis 1.8G Sporty 2008, 10th gen altis, vvti, 10th gen altis, vvti. 4speed auto with manual shift.
All original.

Try oto.my -4 5 k

thks. but that owner or dealer selling price. I just want to know dealer buying price.

are you selling ?

clearly this guy never read my blog

ur blog wrote abt market value, not the dealer buying price.

same thing bro.
market value minus dealer want to earn how much

eg.
your car market value rm45k
minimum he wanna earn is 5k if he no need to touch up
of course if he smells u r easy to cheat straight away open price 29k say now market bad, nobody want this model, take it or leave it.
he and new car SA will play you for a fool
in the end you lose they both earn
