QUOTE(jay881209 @ Oct 13 2015, 09:04 PM) Hi fellow bros, can I seek for some advise from you guys? I am a normal office worker, currently income 5k nett. My wife which is also an accountant income around 4k. Combine income 9k. Own a condo monthly installment 1500. Petrol cover by company RM600 every month. So you're planning to also lean on your wife income to buy a car for yourself, or this car will be for both of you, meaning she does not need a car on her own and you can fetch her all the time?Planning to buy a 2nd hand BMW F30 316i, price RM150k , downpayment 20k , loan 130k, tenure 9 years, installment every month 1400. No more warranty, with 30k left BSRI. Please advise whether I should go for this 316i? Currently driving a vios. 5 years old car. Really fancy this car but worry about the maintenance cost. What do you guys think of it with me and my wife combine income? ( not plan to have child yet ) Thanks fellow bros. please advise. Even with combined income, I suggest you forget about showing off with such a car and just settle with something around rm60k or below which is matching your own income excluding your wife's, then maybe buy another cheaper one for your wife. IMHO for people with such income level, don't think yet about enjoying and showing off with luxury brand cars but first prioritize about practicality and trying to make do with what you can really afford. |

Nope, you cant afford it. There will be repair cost down the road which will go up to 5 figures. And by the fifth year, the value will drop so much that you cant even break even when you want to trade it in

Better invest in something that's gonna appreciate and keep liabilities to the lowest... The worst is yet to come.

Salary is from8 to 15k a month, give or take not including commission. So why not man. I barely spend on unnecessary things. My flights are a all paid for. My hotel stays are paid for. All courtesy of BMW. With the right money management, I don't see why it's not possible. |

go for it since u've been longing for it. life is short. with less equipment on board the 316, there should be less niggling problems.

I wonder how many here actually own a BMW to comment on their service sot
but to TS, yes. Better buy a new Japanese D_segment, the interior quality not even close to Accord/Camry/Mazda 6. And it is not a BMW engine, it is Prince engine https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince_engine |

QUOTE(razgriz_0087 @ Oct 13 2015, 09:10 PM) Nope..Better buy new bro...5 years warranty and 5 years bsri or 100000km..better peace of mind. No need to think about problem and service for 5 years ya agreed, no point buying a 2nd hand car which cost about RM150k+ , u have not considered the maintenance cost for cars which past about 100k km ......problems will come, cost of repairs will be more expensive, tyres, brakes, suspension, etc..... |

Perhaps 7 years, is that ok? |
