car is just a mean of transportation. you only have to balance between car price and safety. luxury brands are desirable but not necessary. i am sorry TS if you look at people like that but please don't use "most of us admittedly".  most people don't really care .  and rating by road presence lol. if you work long enough in affluent area you stop noticing. i think you're new seeing how you took great care to craft this post hoping people will validate your opinion instead you got bashed.  kek

An opinion is still an opinion, however controversial or "shallow" it is.

I will be sad if I spend 20 minute writing this post and get no view and reply.

We like to think we are not, but we are materialistic, the result will be the same if I change the topic from car to house, bag, clothes, watches, educations, air travel, etc.

Say what u want, i aint investing 500k with someone driving a Saga. Doesnt give me the confidence. Says can help me grow my money, but can only afford saga. 🥲

Idiotic statement. You judged the person ability to turn that 500k into a profit because he owns a saga? You haven't seen his plan and evaluated is it worth or not. Well fuck, microsoft was created in a garage.

It's dubious to even think you have 500k to invest when your mentality are focused on shallow things.

Of course. If hes only driving a saga, what makes u think he can invest 500k into the correct funds ? He ownself also cant make money, what makes u think he can make money for u?

Microsoft is different. Thats a software.

Ey, even my junior at age 20 already own a western shop, he doesn't have any car back then, renting vans and putting up stalls was his strategy. He's about to open second shop.

It's not a matter of cars, it's how you handle the money.

Microsoft part was an analogy, you can start from nothing and actually earn something with the right mindset.

Totally wrong comparison. U open a western restaurant, congrats to u but u are using ur own money and it doesnt involve other ppls money. Who the heck care what car u use.

Now the scenario is u come in a saga and expect me to hand u 500k to invest for me? That aint happening dude. U are doing business which involves other ppls money. Thats a whole different ball game from opening ur own restaurant

Besides thats from the perspective of the person driving the saga and going around looking for sales, not from the perspective of a millionaire looking for financial advisors to invest his money

We should not judge a book by its cover, but most of us admittedly judge a person by the car they drive.
Below is a ranking of car models and the social status it represent in malaysian society.
shit tier: sub rm90k car
Driven by b40 families and young graduates.

New car: myvi, axia, saga, vios, city.
Used car: Doesn't matter if you drive a continental car, if the market value falls below 90k, it's probably shit tier, and that is okay. Shit tier doesn't mean its bad, as owning a car means you are quite well off than half of the world population.
Road presence: none, because it is very ubiquitous in the whole country, especially outside of KL.

mid tier: 90k - 230k car
This is your average middle class car. Chances are these are the cars that most people can possibly afford in their lifetime. Cars within this price range are very diverse, driven by middle class, it is practically half of the car owning population. People who drive luxury brand within this range likes to think they made it in life, but they are wrong.

New car: civic, corolla, mazda 3, bmw 218i.
Used car: vellfire, alphard, bmw f30, mercedes w205, cla w117, lexus etc.
Road presence: little, except for a few rare grey import cars like the honda s660.

top tier: 230k - 500k car
People who drive these cars are doing well in life, most of them have achieved their maximum potential.

New car: most BBA model range, porsche 718, volvo s60
Used car: yaris gr, mustang eco boost, mercedes s class, porsche panamera.
Road presence: some, particularly cars that is well polished, or less than 1-2 years old.

god-tier: 500k - 2 mil car
Congratz, when your car market value are within this range, you are not only legitimately made it in life, but you are in the 1%.

New car: Mass production super car such as huracan, 911, 488, vantage, 720s
Used car: rolls royce, bentley.
Road presence: 90% of these cars will turn head.

beyond god-tier: >2 mil car
Only a handful of malaysians will achieve this level.

New car: divo, sienna, cullinan, monza sp1
Used car: hypercars.
Road presence: 100%, even without entourage of escort vehicles and bikes.

---

Things that will lower your car social class:
- Non legitimate emblem on car plate
- Gaudy car mod
- Car plate that starts with KV
- Previous gen model

Closing word, I noticed a lot of malaysian have this perception that the car badge will increase other people's perception of their social class. Sorry, it will not. Please don't flex your maserati keyfob or steering wheel on ig. The only car factor that is indicative of your social class is the car's current market value, bar none.

Car price = a person social class/status??

Why not compare a status between, 1)cash&carry a 90k car in showroom; 2)HP loan on a 90% 200k car; 3)HP loan rejects for a 90k car
