Peugeot 308 Turbo - the first 40,000km Expenses

I drive my cars [B, C, and D-segments] more than 30,000km in total per year. More than half of the total distance traveled was done in Peugeot 308T, the car which I normally drive for long distance trips throughout Malaya. Other cars are too old or too small for such long journeys...

The 308 hits 40,000km in slightly more than two years. The following are the actual expenses as a guide for the first young buyers...
As shown in the above table, about 2/3 of the monthly average expenses goes to installments and downpayments. Only 1/3 of the expenses used for running and maintaining the car. If you just have only one car, you would have traveled more and there will be higher average monthly expenses needed.

My early estimate around RM3000 per month for owning and running the 308T was not far off. I've heard a few young and freshly graduated fellas earning around RM3000pm were aiming at this car. Boleh hidup ke jang? Even yg bergaji sekitar RM5000 sebulan pun sekadar cukup makan je kalo pakai keto ni...

...and please don't even think of dreaming of an RCZ!

Do not just look at fuel and schedule maintenance expenses - look at the whole cost and figure out whether you are affordable or not in a long run... pastikan yg berhutang dgn PTPTN atau yg seumpamanya jelaskan bayaran bulanan tu dulu... [harap semua anak2 buah uncle baca ni]

Sorry ya.... uncle membebel siket harini. Org tua2 mmg camtu. he heee...

Uncle perhati Hakimi adalah contoh yg baik untuk org muda masa kini.... Pandai cari luit, bijak berbelanja.

Semasa uncle baru grad dulu pun beli keto second hand rego RM11k jer sebab itu jam gaji kure dari seribu yal. Masa tu BMW320i dan volvo 244DL sekitar RM30+k jer.

Tigo tahun kemudian baru uncle beli keto baru itu pun rego RM24k jer. Formula uncle, rego keto tidak boleh lebih dari setahun gaji.... The limit is twice annual gross income.

Hope young fellas x tergesa2 beli keto idaman. Control sikit ya. Simpan luit sebanyak mungkin dan beli rumah dulu, keto idaman kemudian, Cerah maso depan anda. Percayalah....
