Message: <blockquote data-quote="anxious" data-source="post: 234448" data-attributes="member: 193">Dear Mat, You are still young, so take your time...in a few years you may even afford a E46. I graduated 12 years ago. For the first year I took a bus to work! I saved up enough money to put a down payment on a 11 year old Mitsubishi Tredia 1.4(M). That car served me for 4.5 yrs, I hardly spent much on maintainance. I then bought a new Waja ( I took 50% loan) and used it for 2.5 yrs, ( the Waja is now used by my wife and has been fully paid up). I then got myself an E30.....it was 15 yrs old and costed me RM26k. I used it for 4 yrs and spent RM15k on maintainance in those 4 yrs and sold it recently . As you would have read I only recently got myself a 1995 E36 325i for RM40k....this is after 12 yrs of working. I got it cash so I have money for repairs. Todate I have spent a further RM20k (that's RM10k over my initial budget) on the car and "touch wood" it has not had any problems in the last 3 months, so I guess it has been worth it. My only regret...not getting a 328 but thats anor story. You see bimmers are truly GREAT cars as they can really last BUT it has to be taken care of....this entails spending money, so honestly unless you can afford it , my advise is put off you purchase for a few yrs, you still have a lot of time. When you are financially more stable, then by all means get yourself a UDM. Its pointless to struggle just to own a car. To enjoy it ur ownership experience has to be as painless as possible.</blockquote>
