We have also observed car manufacturers announcing promotional efforts in hopes to get Malaysians to purchased more of one of the most underutilised asset \u2013 cars! However, even with the recent drop in prices, does it make sense for us to go out there and purchase a car today? Let\u2019s find out!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What You Should Know About Buying a New Car? <\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With the ease and status that comes from owning a car, we understand why drivers in Malaysia would not mind being tied down for five to nine years on a car loan and forking up a few months worth of salary just for the down payment. Some may assume that if a car price sticker is valued at RM72,000, it will be the only value that they need to pay. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, what did we do? We did the legwork by calculating how much you will be paying when purchasing a new car in Malaysia, and even comparing it with someone who is a true <\/span><b>Multi-flexer. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As part of our analysis, we have benchmarked maintenance costs, insurance and road tax charges and even second-hand car prices to get you the inside scoop on the true cost of car ownership. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is <\/span><b><i>multi-flex <\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">you ask? <\/span><b><i>Multi-flex<\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> means having multiple options to get from point A to point B at the flexibility of when you need it. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, let\u2019s get down to the details&#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Amount of Interest Over 9 Years After Buying a Car<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, you have done your research and you are looking out to buy a car. Sadly, the car sticker price isn\u2019t what you\u2019ll be paying throughout the <\/span><b>9 years<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (unless you have too much cash on hand). There is more than meets the eye. In normal cases, you would need to take up a car loan which you need to fork out the <\/span><b>10%<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> down payment. You will be paying the remaining <\/span><b>90%<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of the car\u2019s value in monthly installments.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Cumulative Interest<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re not a huge fan of math, well, get ready to be schooled with this simple explanation below.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s take the Honda City as an example and let\u2019s just say the price on the road is about <\/span><b>RM72,000.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Your <\/span><b>10% <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">down payment that you need to cough up is <\/span><b>RM7,200<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Assuming you took a 9-year car loan that\u2019s 9 x 12 = <\/span><b>108 months<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, your annual interest rate is <\/span><b>3%<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, your monthly instalment would be <\/span><b>RM762.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (Tip: annual interest rate varies as well depending on your car make and your credit score). If you have a bad credit score, you may need to pay up to <\/span><b>30% &#8211; 50% <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">more interest with an interest rate of <\/span><b>4%<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or more. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, it\u2019s always good to start building a good financial history in order to improve your credit score.<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, this is your grand total you will need to pay for just the car, <\/span><b>RM64,800 + RM7,200<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (10% down payment) + <\/span><b>RM17,496 <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(cumulative interest)<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0= <\/span><b>RM89,496 is your grand total<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Did you see how <\/span><b>RM72,000<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> magically became <\/span><b>RM89,496<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">? Actually, it\u2019s simple math, not magic. (don\u2019t fall for the rebates or into a dark pit of debt!). That is an extra <\/span><b>RM17,496<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> only from cumulative interest! With this extra cash, did you know you could actually buy <\/span><b>84<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> one-way flight tickets to Bangkok?<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Car Insurance Cost &amp; Road Tax<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s now dive into the most important part &#8211; car insurance cost and road tax. Purchasing car insurance isn\u2019t as simple as you thought it would be because your car\u2019s cubic capacity (CC) affects the rates of your car insurance premiums. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A brand new Honda City would have an annual insurance cost of <\/span><b>RM 2,200.00. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The good news is that your car insurance premium gets cheaper as your car depreciates with each passing year and <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the onset of No Claim Bonus (NCB), which could reduce our annual premium by up to <\/span><b>55%<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Here is a table that shows you the total discount you\u2019re entitled to over 5 years and up.<\/span><\/p>\n<table class=\" aligncenter\" style=\"height: 76px;\" width=\"245\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Insurance Coverage Duration<\/span><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Discount (%)<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First Year<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">25<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2nd Year<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">30<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3rd Year<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">38.33<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4th Year<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">45<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5th Year<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">55<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even if The Force saves you from 9 years of accident-free days, you will still need to pay <\/span><b>RM2,200 x 9 = RM19,800<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> on your car insurance and for a 1500cc Honda City at <\/span><b>RM90 x 9 = RM810<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for your road tax which both adds up to a total <\/span><b>RM20,610 over a 9-year period<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Car Maintenance Cost<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Car Maintenance costs can range from RM90 &#8211; RM150 (cost of engine oil + oil filter + air filter + cost of labour) per oil change every 3 months or <\/span><b>5,000 km<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (whichever comes first) depending on your preferred service centre. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s also take into account of your driving behaviour which will affect and add on the cost for replacing bigger parts such as tyres, batteries, timing belts, air conditioning service, alternators, spark plugs, shock absorbers, and the total costs would average out to a few thousand ringgit over 9 years. Without good tyre maintenance and timely engine oil replacement, you would be neglecting your car\u2019s health status. So, a well-maintained car will somewhat help in lowering the cost of upkeep. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Back to making an assumption that your average spends for maintaining a Honda City over the span of 9 years would be <\/span><b>RM10,000.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">Additional Cost of Buying a Car<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s do a summary of what we have so far. We have the cost of cumulative interest, car insurance, road tax and maintenance over the span of 9 years. The additional cost would amount to <\/span><b>RM17,496 (interest) + RM19,800(car insurance) + RM20,610 (road tax) + RM10,000 (maintenance) = RM67,906<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> more than the sticker price. This is only based on a household who only has 1 car if your household has 3 cars, it will definitely exceed over <\/span><b>RM100,000.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Unpredictable Cost<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You will need to take into account of <\/span><b>an unpredictable cost<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that our standard insurance policies do not cover as it is beyond your control, such as a flash flood, hail storms, or when an elephant decides to trip over your car.<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The total additional cost is based on an assumption that you have been accident-free for 9 years.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Time for some Road Facts!<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to MIROS\u2019s report on <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.miros.gov.my\/1\/page.php?id=17\"><b>General Road Accident Data in Malaysia (1997 \u2013 2016)<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the index per billion vehicle kilometre traveled (VKT) is on a gradual decline since 1997 as shown on the table below.

E-hailing your way to Putrajaya and back will set you back almost RM120 for a return trip for an 82 km journey. In this case, SOCAR gets you to your meeting and back for a per kilometer cost of RM14.90*4\/82 = RM0.73 vs. e-hailing which will get you there for a cost of RM1.46\/km. <\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Q: What is your advice on buying a car, for Malaysians this Raya season?<\/span><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A: My one true Raya car savings tips would be &#8211; don&#8217;t blow all your money on a new car before Raya&#8230; try out the different cars first before deciding.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Secret tip: Instead of rushing to buy a car from a dealer, why not try out your favorite SOCAR model on our platform before purchasing.
