@baylaurel143 I would say 1k monthly is maximum for me. I don’t really mind if it’s a secondhand car. As long as it’s reliable and wont make me fall into lifestyle inflation.

@theologybuff Thank you very much! I will keep this mind in the future

@fizzywig Thank you very much for the detailed response. I’m considering to buy a local car or maybe if i feel i wanna spend more on car, I’m looking for used Toyota cars like Yaris or Vios. But taking your advice, I’ll make sure to try to finish off my loans first before thinking of buying...
