[QUOTE="2wenty6, post: 648470, member: 20205"] It depends on what's your budget. The buy-in cost could be affordable, but maintenance and repairs could strain you financially - not including mods. If you're the kind of person who want to keep it in mint condition then your repair cost can be staggering. If you can ignore the occasional creaks or the constant nagging feeling that a certain mod will make it drive better, then perhaps it wouldn't cost as much. 2.5 liter roadtax will be around RM880 a year, 2.8 liter around 1.6k, 3.0 liter I think in excess of 2k. Besides the initial cost to acquire the car, it would be wise to have a stash of money ready for repairs and maintenance, especially emergency ones - like a radiator failing on you. I'm a young guy too, and if I were to do it again I'd still go ahead and buy my BMW. If you think you can kinda afford it, buy it and worry about incidentals later. Or, like the ang moh like to say on forums, when you're young you're better off spending money on beers and broads - nice cars can wait. [/QUOTE]
