TS..can you c the lyn banner?

I thankful to my company for getting such a wonderful car.Really! I wanna to get a better for weekend drive since I am still young got long way to go and even fail easily to get backup

Gross 7k.

Minus EPF/Tax, u end up with what? 5.5k?

U wanna pay 3k for car installment? Maintenance? etc?

Sure why not?
280k loan for the max 9 years, that's about 3.3k per month
Leaves you with 2.3k left for other expenses, sounds like the right choice to me!

With salary only 7+k, I don't think it's a wise choice for you to spend money on having such a 'fancy' car just for weekends. That is reserved for those rich people only. Unless you're ok to just buy relatively cheap (<rm50k) simple used cars and built it as a hobby.

Buy house

Ive seen many people with good salary but really bad in spending and investment.
For ts, dont overspend your money just for the car.
With that salary at your age and current situation, you can live a pretty comfortable life if you know how to spend your money wisely.

Well you can just buy a 2nd hand 2 door car and modify. Fancy enough? You can definitely maintain it at your salary range.

Yup. Buy something fancy second hand. Bad FC? Don't care. Maintenance expensive, takes long time to source parts and repair? Don't care.

Old SLK. Old Porsche. Old Supra, RX7, ... Anything. Buy cash, no need to worry about loan.

New cars are for people who need a reliable transport and thus are willing to spend more on it. But since you have got a reasonable A to B car and want something fun for the weekend... if it falls out for a weekend or two who cares.

nissan almera and loads of spare cash to build my weekend car.

lotus elise.

HRV

what do u work as?

Audi A3 1.4 is around 179k only haven't include discounts, installment should be below 2k for 9 years.

Edit: Since TS want something fancy, Audi A3 should fit his bill for a car below 200k

9 yrs.............

If you cannot afford a car with 5 yr loan.... you CANNOT afford the car...

Infact, I prefer it to be 3 yr...

Care to shed some light about this? because of interest?

hahahaha me too wanted to ask the que but you did

@ngchuenlow : take advice from sifu

Huh... I thought it was very clear.

IF you NEED to loan 9 years, it shows you are actually financially NOT capable of buying/maintaining that car.

5 yrs MAX.

3 yrs should be better once you settled down and have a family and is financially stable/have other responsibility.
