[QUOTE="Lithium2, post: 623765, member: 24658"] Yeah, for sure getting a new car have its pros. I own my E39 for only 7 months, I have spent almost Rm20k on it already and still not finish doing it up yet. The worst thing is I got it towed twice in 7 months, with my wife in it, once due to radiator spare tank bocor, another time due to gear oil pump bocor. No early signal at all, it just break down. I had my 20 year old civic but never experinced towing before. And most of the time coming back from workshop with a 4 digit bill. So you can guess what my wife's opinion about the car. So it's obvious why a new car comes to mind, with the money I'm spending on the E39, I looked for alternatives, so mazda6. But after the test drive, I will stick to the junk for a while. Acceleration, handling, comfort, E39 still tops the Mazda6, of course this is only my personal feeling, you should go test drive it and tell me your opinion. As for the long HP loan, an auto loan interest is only at around 2%. If you have a housing loan, it should be at 4-5%. And there are people who can invest with 20% annual return. So it's very personal as well, some people like to pay cash for everything, they just don't like the feeling of having debts, some people like to leverage and take risk. [/QUOTE]
