honestly the reason buy new car is because safety

Exactly, with a 2 year-old car, you can shave off ~15% on the price due to depreciation.

Just need to do a bit of due diligence (bring a mechanic to inspect it, etc).

Ayem buncit je

But yeah, need to use pillow under the ass, and broom stick to press pedal~

Agreed. Most people should be driving <10k 2nd hand cars but hey, biar papa asal gaya.

Buy new car for safety is hypocritical when you feed your body shit. You know what you can change when it's broken? Your car. You know what you can't? Your body. Don't drive like an asshole, fit good tyres and make sure your brakes and rest of the car is well taken care of. You don't need a brand new car. You're lying to yourself to find an excuse to spoil yourself.

Not sure troll or serious.

my general manager salary 8k, drive iriz

not really tho

good car really give ppl good impression ?
or buy an expensive car to boost your confidence and push you harder on makign money.
Like this get married and get a kid, best way to push your limits

car supposed to be a mode of transportation, getting an axia / myvi good enough interm of space, aircond, and fuel cons.. many people nowadays dont know changing their 3 years old 5 years old car for what (except those really know how to play with resale value and car enthusiast )
inovlve in long driving daily (say 100-200km pday probably shud get a more comfy sedan / salloon).

want big car in some occassion why not rent it when you need it,lol maintenance is way cheaper.

no right or wrong there, ppl choose how they wanna live, hes just sharing based on his view and experience, may choose not to follow


depends on what kind of safety, if airbag / strong beam , yea

not those bullshit kind of lda, auto headlight switch on / projection

DRIVING WAS NOT MEANT TO BE RELAX, we dont need "everyone can drive" culture on our daily road.
Driving meant to be stress, stay full alert, and energetic all the time, feel stress / tired / fatique, stop the driving, you are not supposed to drive under any circumstances like that.

It's right. You should spend no more than 10-15% of your salary in car.

8K salary means you only have 800 to 1.2K for car.

MyVi loan is about RM700 a month, so plus insurance, service, roadtax, petrol and general maintenance, that would comes to 1.2K a month.

Anything more, you are heading to trouble.

Depends on how much your expense la.

My salary is less than 8k but I still can buy MyVi what.

Agreed. U must factor in maintenance, insurance and roadtax too. Some people also factor in emergencies.

Once u do this, zero worries because the funds already allocated.

Daily commute used cheap car, weekend go out with amoi rent nice car.

If everyday want to go out with amoi, should be rich liao, why bother to consider cheap car or nice car?

Simple calculation

Monthly bank loan
Monthly petrol (estimate)
Yearly roadtax (divide 12 months)
Yearly insurance (divide 12 months)
Maintenance (get estimate and divide by monthly)
Tyre cost plus alignment and balancing (typical last 3 years, so get the estimated cost divide by 36 months)
Battery cost (typical last 2 years, so get estimated cost divide by 24 months)
Emergency fund (roughly = 3 to 5 months bank loan amount divide by 60 months)

So add those monthly cost up, it should come up to 10 to 15% of your salary. And you are set for anything.

This is the new generation, a lot of them wants face even if it means living a more stressful life with lesser financial freedom.
