Cost of maintaining a Car

SalamAlikum,

here is the  first of my posting on cost of living ..

Price of gas is 210 cents / liter which comes up to 62cents US / liter

Car wash are extremely cheap .. for 10 RM I can get it cleaned inside out..

Oil Change and service as I heard are inexpensive depending on the make... of-course local made cars are very cheap to maintain  as the part are cheap and labor is of course cheap anyways...

Toll, yes they have tolls here but minimal depending on what routes you take.. you can set your GPS to skip them..

Insurance , I am not sure

Renting a car , I am paying almost 1000RM per month for a small car called VIVA , local made and i only worry about the gas. For a van or something slightly bigger car expect to pay 1500-2000 RM per month

Buying a car , yah they are expensive , but if you look you can get good deals especially in local. you can get a brand new for something like ford focus you can get brand new for 30K. For a van expect to pay almost 50-60k for local made but please don't think local made is bad, these are well designed and nice looking car and very cheap to maintain .. they are like how  Hyundias and Kia are in US or Canada..
