i open bmw website je.

omg!
u tulis panjang in /k.
we just play play je.
this is not serius kopitiam thread.

Beli kereta nak mahal mahal kat Malaysia dah lah bahaya kena marking jadi mangsa rompak dan macam-macam, langgar kereta biasa nanti kata orang kaya buli miskin.

Senang, bawak kereta nasional. Apa-apa hal semua deal macam orang biasa. Nak rompak pun tak sakit hati, kena langgar sikit boleh maafkan orang jadi orang yang mulia.

A 360k car is the highest limit

Rules*: never spend more than 25% of your salary on transport, never spend more than 1/2 your transport bill on purchase price, and never buy a car on instalment more than 3 years

Maths: 20k x 36 months x 1/2 = 360k

That should be enough for a decent BMW. Of course, the less you spend, the better your retirement, the more you have for famiy and reserve/emergency. There's absolutely nothing wrong with earning 20k and driving a Civic or CRV.

*rules are optional and based on your own budget balancing between necessity, future and immediate enjoyment. Some other rules could also be:

Never spend more than 10% annual salary on a car; 20k x 36 months x 10% = 72k car

Never spend more than 1 months salary on a car; 20k x 3 years = 60k car

Never take a loan for a car, pay for it within 1 years' salary; 20k x 12 months x 25% x 1/2 = 30k car

wasn't there a forummer that did a chart on car ownership and maintenance? 

Just wonder...got boss here 20k but drive axia hmm...
