Monthly Car Rental

leatherman — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 21:23:34 +0800

I know that there's a lot of hourly/daily car rental out there.
But anyone heard of anything bout monthly car rental..? Or contract car rental, say 2-3 months.
Anyone knows if this is available in the market?
If you are familiar with this, any advice about the rates?
Or do you know anyone who has a car they're not using and want to rent them, do share here. Or PM if you wish.

Proton Tuah Updates

leatherman — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 21:22:36 +0800

I visited Proton Edar today.
I was told that Proton Tuah will be launch end February.
Delivery for first batch would take minimum 1 month after launch, but usually 3 months.
Production for Proton Inspira will stop.
The price for Proton Tuah would be RM80+k
So it won't replace Persona but Inspira instead.

What u think? Can anyone verify this info?

Who ever knows a dealer selling this unit please let me know. Reply here or PM me with full details. Especially if you're in the Klang Valley region.

Will also seriously consider if you (or someone you know) are selling a used unit.

Installment rm800/month. What car?

I'm a fresh grad, just got a job. Planning to buy a car that costs less than rm800/month (or the maximum i can go is rm1000/month - this will reduce my monthly savings). This is my first attempt to get a list of cars to consider. As of right now, just any cars will do. But capping at rm800/month, need your advice on what car should be in the list, and the reasoning.

What car?
Why?

Got my first job. What's next?

Okay so I just graduated, got my first job, and got my first salary - November 2011.

As most of other Malaysians, I planned on getting a car. Quite ambitious at first. Thinking of getting a new continental car, after a deeper thought, decided to get a used continental car, after spending hours, days, here at LYN, decided to get a local car, and after deeeeper thought, now I think I should use public transport and buy a property instead. -.-"

Now a lot of other things come to mind - giving allowance to parents, savings for marriage lol, invest in property etc etc.

So I am now confused on how should a smart citizen manage his/her money/future? What are the priorities? If you are in a similar position like me, or I'm sure they are sifus out there who experienced this, would appreciate if could share some thoughts. Thank you in advance!

Btw this is my first job, salary is RM3000. So far no commitment besides food as I'm staying at parents house.
