I
just realize that I'm turning 21 in just few days when the new year
comes.Not officially 21 till my birthday next September
but I'll be answering that I'm 21 when people start
asking.Noooooooooo.Can't believe that I left high school for 3 years
already!!!!Even my sister is studying in college now :/ I know some
of you started reading my blog since I was still studying in high
school and I think we're prolly around the same age?
I'm
really glad that you are still reading my blog and supporting me
since then.I bet you watched me go through quite a lot of things huh,
like me going to college and stopped, eyebrows getting thicker
(loll), short hair to long hair to colorful hair to bangs and some of
the most memorable, most proud moment like buying myself a car when
I was only 19 .
I
know that it's not easy to buy a car when you're young.But it's also
very mafan if you don't have a car.Go college go work go yumcha go
anywhere anytime, especially people like me who don't like to be
troublesome.The reasons that why I have to get a car back then.
I
think some of you are struggling with the same problem too and need
some advice on getting the right car.Same to my sister who is
considering on getting the right car.
#1
First or secondhand?
I
remember that I considered buying a secondhand car while calculating
my budget.There are really good deals but I'm really afraid that what
if there's problems with the car.What if I'm so unlucky and meet a
dodgy dealer.I prolly have to spend more on repairing than driving :/
#2
Budget.
Nowadays
new car doesnt necessarily mean expensive.Some
cars in the market today start from as little as RM38,361 and come
with roomy, comfortable interiors, up-to-date technology and many
other driver-friendly features once only available on much more
expensive models.Example, The Saga FLX.
The
Saga FLX, featuring leather finishing,* class-leading cabin space and
Lotus-engineered ride and handling is a good case in point.
Okay,
other than the budget we still need to calculate the HIDDEN
costs.Petrol, engine oil for maintenance, prolly have to change tyres
every two years for safety...etc..The biggest cost prolly goes to
road tax and insurance but Saga FLX 1.3 or FLX SE 1.6.
offers up to RM2,000 rebate or zero servicing charges for a year and
also zero road tax for 2 years or zero licence renewal fee for 5 if
you're interested.
#3
TEST DRIVE.
Once
you have your choices, it’s really important to take a test
drive.Never try never know that if the car is suitable for you.Does
your selection features ABS, EBD and airbags as standard? Does it
boast
413 litres of boot space and CVT for silky smooth gearshifts like the
Saga FLX??Using the Saga FLX as example since it features almost
everything and it's still affordable.
#4
Bring it home.
After
calculating the budget, test driving and satisfied with everything,
it's time to bring the baby home!!!
I
think that's it!Hopefully this can help you on getting you first
car!!!
