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.

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.

One word.......Don't!

What is your priority? List down your priorities from most important to least important. Where does getting a BMW rank? If it ranks 1st or 2nd....god bless...

For what it's worth, I was looking at the new Porker 911 over the weekend. Asking was S$575,000. Decided that was more than my 10% rule, so am now talking to my banker to buy 2 bonds that will pay me about 4-5% annual yield instead. Buy with you head, not your heart. That's the best way to make money.

Have to point out that your 10% rule is pretty lame to me. Let me explain. I feel that you are just picking a rate(in your case 10%) to justify what you already have in mind as a budget for car. Say, your income is 5mil. You feel uncomfortable buying anything above 500k and so you come out with this rule 10% of annual income to justify your budget. To me, wealth above a certain level, whether you allocate 5% to 50% or even more for luxurious spending, it really doesn't make any difference to your finances. Next time you see a 2mil car or 3 mil car, just buy la, you can afford it. Remember, your net worth is more than that. tongue.gif

Anyway, I managed to get myself a brand new unregistered zero mileage 2015 F10 520i last month with a 65K cash discount and about 11K worth of freebies (excluding the 5 yr or 100,000km free servicing).

Appreciate if you can elaborate a bit on what is the OTR price, what is the price you pay and what exactly is 11k of freebies? Thanks thumbup.gif
