Car Buying Guide (For lower medium class) Pt.2

Initial Cost is the amount of money (Your own) you put in for the car when you buy it such as the downpayment. How is this related to your budget? Simple, it will determine your monthly payment and the loan tenure. 
If your budget is RM 600/mth, and you plan to get a 7-year loan then the loan amount including the interest (assuming the interest is 4 %) is RM50,400. Therefore your loan principal will be, RM50,400 (Loan Amount) - RM14,112 (Interest for 7 yrs) = RM 36,288. Finally, your car price should be RM 36,288 + Your downpayment. So if your downpayment is RM 10,000 then your car price should be RM 46,288. This means the more downpayment you put, the less monthly payment you pay OR the less loan tenure you can get. 

The operation and maintenance costs are your fuel cost (operation), road tax and insurance (operation), tire change (maintenance), battery change (maintenance), Lube oil change (maintenance), and many others. If you want less operation cost then buy the latest saving fuel technology such as VVTI, IDSI, and many other I's or better still a Hybrid or (nonfuel) EV. If you want less maintenance then look for warranties, free service, better quality brands and popular brands (because the popular brands' spare parts are normally cheap and easy to look for). 

The summary: 
1. Put more downpayment (10% is recommended) to buy a car to reduce loan tenure and monthly payment. If you are a new lower medium user, there is a high chance that you will upgrade your car and if your loan tenure is shorter you will be able to change the car easier with less settlement, or your loan is already settled after 7 years. 
2. Look for better technology cars and popular cheap cars with decent offers. See Part I here.

  8. Hello everyone!
    I would like to burn a theme at this forum. There is such a nicey, called HYIP, or High Yield Investment Program. It reminds of ponzy-like structure, but in rare cases one may happen to meet a company that really pays up to 2% daily not on invested money, but from real profits.

    For several years , I make money with the help of these programs.
    I don't have problems with money now, but there are heights that must be conquered . I get now up to 2G a day , and I started with funny 500 bucks.
    Right now, I managed to catch a guaranteed variant to make a sharp rise . Visit my blog to get additional info.

  9. Good day, sun shines!
    There have were times of troubles when I didn't know about opportunities of getting high yields on investments. I was a dump and downright stupid person.
    I have never imagined that there weren't any need in large starting capital.
    Nowadays, I feel good, I begin to get real income.
    It gets down to choose a correct partner who uses your money in a right way - that is incorporate it in real deals, and shares the income with me.

    You can get interested, if there are such firms? I have to answer the truth, YES, there are. Please get to know about one of them:
