Cost of having a car now
-
Hi guys,
Intend to purchase a car. But I need to do my maths for financing one.
Anyone has any template like excel file to share?
Perhaps can elaborate the fees, maintenance I need as per month/year.
I also appreciate if anyone can share his/her experiences when purchasing his or her car....
TIA! -

The last time I pump I paid $98 for full tank - I was so shocked that I asked her what happened i.e. how come petrol price doubled in one week!
Turns out that she selected the wrong pump .. guess what car? BMW 7-series ~ I'm not familiar with cars (no idea which model) - but boy can that car drink ! The owner was behind me, and he had a good laugh at my reaction.
felt so country-bumpkin-ish -

i have a very simple way of calculating the cost just make sure u have double the amount of the car u going to buy in the bank.E.g. 30 k cost so save until 60 k
