3) If u are lookiong for a low budget, then i suggest u stick to
bus/mrt. Dun buy a car and regret later.
Heres a rule of the thumb.
- Total expenses should be less than 15% of ur pay.
- Your installment multiply by 2
Bro, by your calculation, a car with a 600(very low liao)
installment, including expenses to 1200 a month. So a person would
need to have a 8k salary in order to own a monthly 600 car?
like this eh... my salary is
much lower than 8K... so i fail already... i cant own a car... die
liao 
2)Fuel consumption?! I rather u get a cheap car than a car with
good fuel consumption. IMagine if u drive a Accent & Vios with
both being trouble free for the period that u drive. (i.e 3 years).
How much petrol do u think vios can help u save?!?!?!?
people alway say" buying a car
is easy but keeping it is the problem or difficult" ,therefore b4
deciding... one should alway consider a lot of other factors or
hidden cost ,..so that the car is worth buying and keep it...
therefore one should take into consideration in long term down the
road , keeping the car should try to be less costly... fuel
cosumption,maintance cost, fix cost , variable cost .. etc all have
to be factor in ... shoulding a cheap car but in the long run
repair cost is high is not worth it... e.g one of my friend who
just buy kia no long... have problem starting the car due to
technical /electrical problem... therefore although kia is cheap
but is it worth to buy in the long run... i really confuse
.... ppl like me who is
not rich cannot just say i like this merc i just buy it without
think ... so i look more on long term.... so happy to see so many
helpful ppl here ,,, thank
