I’m a single mid-30s guy in KL. Upper middle income, not rich. I still drive a 10 year old Proton that I got from my fresh grad job. Still drives and looks ok.
I own and stay at a nice condo but drive a cheap car. I probably have the cheapest car in terms of residual value of the entire condo car park.
Got out of a 3y+ relationship. Been single the past 1 year. I used to take pride in being prudent but recently I’ve been dating around (nothing stuck so far) and I do get self-conscious when my date sees me driving an old Proton.
Should I buy a new car so it reflects my current financial level (no longer fresh-grad salary)? I’m thinking of getting an EV actually. There’s still time before the tax incentives expire this year.
Best advice I ever received from an old unker: Itu besi buruk is a waste of time and money...I own and stay at a nice condo but drive a cheap car. I probably have the cheapest car in terms of residual value of the entire condo car park.

I use to drive the smallest national back in my old days...When I submitted my payslip to the dealer to purchase my cars, he was shocked. He told me "Boy u can buy a bigger ride...I thought yr father or mother is paying for this car"....I chuckled ....I drove that small car around town for 9 yrs, then sold it off and bought a second hand national car for 5K.
U buy a new car, the feel good will only last for 2 - 3 yrs, after that u be bored...My ex colleague buy a conti sedan above 200K, feel good...but he said feel good only last for 2 years, after that, no more feel good...
I am sure they will be others coming to whack me, aiyohh, car safety is no 1..better drive conti lar....
