So many in this forum have over 10k income but dont dare to buy luxury car. But you'd be surprised with how many people who have less, but bought luxury cars.

For example, Vellfire 2015 ZA priced at 220k ish.
Many of the buyers have average of 6-8k income HOUSEHOLD.

For a Merc A180 2014 priced at 110k ish,
Many of the buyers have an average of 3-5k income only.

Just saying, you'd be surprised with how many average people driving luxury cars mega_shok.gif

Its plausible because there is a large grey economy in Malaysia, according to LGE it is 21% of GDP. Its very possible that there is a lot of under reporting of income, or other forms of income such as capital gains or dividends that are not captured in government data. Like based on the recent surge in glove stocks, we can deduce that many people made huge fortunes but none of it will be captured as household income. Some of them may be tempted to splurge on a luxury car or two.

Since they say don't have big head don't wear so big hat, so when buy car, how much salary is consider big enough head to buy 260k car assuming 10% downpayment?

If too small head and buy expensive car I think salesman also laugh you.

Please advice realistically cos I expect some ppl will say income 1 million and other troll post.. but this is serious kopitiam.

Depends on your current and nearest future commitment. If single now and future, 5K staying with parents also can afford RM 200k car.

I'm always curious why not use the Bank method of determining whether you can afford to purchase a car or not? Banks look at your net inflow with maximum commitment outflow of 70%.

Banks are only interested to know if you can service the loan period. Whereas its in your interest to consider if the excess cash is better spent on other forms of investment, children's education or an annual holiday. Things that dont appear in a spreadsheet. Hence why ppl open threads on this now and then in /k i guess

Thanks, was a little confused cause there seems to be so many different numbers coming up for affordability.
