well cars in spore are ex becaz
there arent many rds to run them, i too feel ur pain as i'm a
carlover too. thoughts of upgrading my 2.5 to 3.7,but the road tax
is just too ...well ,taxing...
well back to u, for a 130k car for
10yrs, u r looking at 1.4k p/m for instalments(at roughly 2.8%
int). FC would be about high 7s to low 9s km/l,so i reckon petrol
at current prices would set u back at 500p/m. parking? well if u
stay landed then its included,if not roughly at 80p/m for
hdb/condo(est,after minus pool/guard maintenance). well thats
nearly 2k...
the real killer in ur budget would
be rd tax n insurance n maintenance. road tax would be 4k a yr,ins
around 3-5k depending on many factors which i would not
elaborate..so about 600p/m. and tyres,if u running 18(most of Zs
are),then be prepared to spend 1.5k on tyres. be advised that the
cabrio doesnt run on brembos,so i would advise u to go for coupe
unless u really dig the air in ur face n warm weather.
so all in,a healthy budget of 2.6k
would be suffice if u are not into modding n am happy wif stock
conditions. i recommend u down at least 20k n take loan periods
according to how long u r prepared to keep the car till u itch
again. u can go to the fairlady forum to ask around for more
advise,tink they are better to advise u.
