Blue850r Clutched June 4, 2009 Share June 4, 2009 Can anyone answer my above query? thx My personal rule of thumb is car purchase price = annual salary. 100K car means 100K salary. Anything more will start to stretch while anything less is conservative stand. Loan no more than 70% for 7 years max. Don't know if you feel this figure is agreeable. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vextan 1st Gear June 4, 2009 Share June 4, 2009 (edited) a hyundai avante and a kio rio's speedometer shows up to 180km/hr max, i wonder how can the driver tell that it is doing 210km/hr then. want to lie also be more smart lah. and the manufacturer's specs says max speed is 170km.hr, how is it possible to be doing 210km/hr then ? yeah, maybe going on a downward slope can be considered. but that is not the power of the car, that is gravity. else like that if a car can drop from a sky free fall can also mean that the car can hit 1000km/hr. what a joke these young punks make. haiz, i think my students smarter than them.

Thanks for the feedback, but not all ppls is having the same annual salarys every year. Assuming increasement is constant, some year get 2 mths bonus, some year get 6 mth bonus. The salary can range fom 95k to 115k. So can afford a 100k of car anot without any other extra cash saving (no 30% $top up)? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a guide in my IMHO, meaning to say if salary is around 100K, just buy a car around that figure. can be 80K can be 110K. So be a comfortable guiding figure to start with.

Blue850r Clutched June 6, 2009 Share June 6, 2009 so you got a chery? Hey Mr Veryfree, your remarks are not friendly over here. Perhaps it is also a mirror of your current standing. If you think the salary and the budget for buying a car is not agreeable to what I had mentioned, you can always state your rule of thumb. It is a just personal opinion. You can be earning 200K pa and own a Chery or own a 200K car while earning $25K pa. Don't insult or de-grade fellow formers here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
