Many car companies are offering attractive rates and low/no downpayment.
And there are many who think of it in relative terms and say "Oh, it's so
cheap now. Better get it while it's still on offer", just like at a sale
where you spend RM100 for something you don't need just because it's on
sale.
But they don't realize they'll be stuck with that car for an average of 7
years. If you get a piece of junk which breaks down after the warranty's
over, you still have to keep paying for that junk.
So why bother with a new car and be saddled with a long term debt on a
fast depreciating item?

You only need a passport and a one way ticket to migrate, that don't cost
you a lot, only if you a talent. My fren in cowboy country own a fully
settled house and 2 cars within 10 years.

have to prepare US$10,000 (currency accepted w/out complications
everywhere) I guess? I dunno...although I'm serious about what I said, I
haven't really considered things like these........[razorclawz]
I have just migrated to Brisbane, Queensland, Australia for the last 6
weeks. I feel that one should have at least RM 100K before one can migrate
comfortably. Australian visa fees alone cost A$ 1,935 per application. You
also have to factor in plane tickets, house rentals, cars, electricity,
petrol, etc...... and also to deal with high income tax e.g. 45%
superscale in Australia & remember almost everything is more expensive
overseas (after with or without currency conversion) compared to
Bolihland. The only thing that is cheaper is the car.
