Currently i am driving a Rm50k+ car(24 years old with Rm3.9k salary). The car does all that i require of it really well and has not failed me thus far. If this car get old, i will probably get another brand new Rm50k+ car no matter what i am earning at that point in life. As far as my job is concerned, the type of car i drive in no way affects my performance or affect my KPI. So that brings the question, why do people buy cars above Rm100k+?

Come share your experience about why. (Car more comfortable, bragging rights, your job performance increase as the cost of your car increase, cheonging purposes, sense of status/superiority, for showing off, Hobby, etc)

PS : Regarding the bragging rights/ sense of superiority. If you are doing a job or doing a business which earn you enough to own a Rm100k+ car. Then you will already be well respected by your peers no matter what type of car you use. Lets say you are the big boss of a local company earning upwards of Rm100000 a month and drive a kancil. I am pretty sure your worker and people around you will respect you regardless of what car you drive lol. But if your working a Rm1500 job yet drive a Rm100k+ car, people wont respect you and will even call you stupid for buying such a car.

more comfortable , safety , less tiring , higher performance = motivation to work while on your daily routine = productivity & job performance

for me investing in car is a wise decision....nt sure about others but due to my nature of work that i need frequent travelling interstate...yes i have no regret of investing in my current "asset".....last but nt least if u can afford why not

car is never an asset it's a liability. it's for one to show off and to think they have higher status in life.

in general yes...but i wouldn't think its a liability if it helps you to generate income and performance

if the car can help you generate more income than the cost of maintaining the car ...still liability???

That is what you think only. in fact thats a Malaysian's perception that your car would generate youmore income. Alot of folks will be giving the justification that the car would ease your business deals but how many time a deal was signed in front of your car?

it's only a tool to show your status in life period.

Anyway i'm not against buying it ah. my next car i want to look for something around 1-100km within 6.5 secs. haha

for me its relate back your nature of work... if u just an exec siting in office 9-5pm dealing mostly internal staff...well yes might be your case

but in reality there are also jobs out there that required to build confident from your prospect and how they see you as a lead...not ALL but somwhat true in today's world

regardless how many times they manage to sign off the deal...but it's to ensure they got higher chances

will u choose to follow a team leader who just know doing works but nt smart to carik makan or a leader know how to bring u up carik makan regardless his way of working ?????

i don't believe in those line of work hence if that's how life is.. it's pretty sad in my own oppinion.

to be honest its the reality if u're in frontline sales/recruitment /agents /negotiators /etc ....the competition is stiff and people perception matters

thats why ppl with conservative mindset canot do sales smile.gif

Sometimes buying >RM 100k car is solely for ego, safety, handling or space reason only.

Doesn’t mean it’s more reliable, comfortable or problem-free.

Confortable is confirm ......reliable and problem free even cars below 50k also same...driving a ferrari oso doesnt guaranteed reliable and problem free also

i beg to differ. i do see folks who were so successfully and yet they are driving an old Satria only. Doing sales. Instead of spending on a ride the person had his first condo paid off at the age of 26/27. Moving to subsequent property and now having his own company. It's been a while since i last saw him but i'm pretty sure he would have change his car at this point of time.

Same goes to story how an uncle work from nothing empty handed this and that now bcome a tycoon having its own empire ....ppl like them dont spend on cars to build their wealth....even if they are multi millionaore cars is not their interest still .....so its all about which story u wan to hear

Some expensive cars have sporty suspension so comfort level could be worse. Handling normally confirmed better though.
Even the seats in some cars are not as comfortable.

Ferrari reliable? Lol, Ferrari is never on Top 10 most reliable cars, hence my comment. Never trust cars from small manufacturers to be reliable.

Hmmm except for some unexpected bump on the road...so far quite comfy on highway even speeding ....i cant imagine driving a light weight b-seg cars and speeding on highway.....
