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.

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.

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.
