@wilyum, the bottom line is you are the user of the vehicle. Buy the car that will make you happy and you can afford maintaining it without a hustle. Personally, I feel guilty at times when I fuel my car and see what I pay but when I hit the Tarmac I am satisfied. When broke, I pick madams car which hates fuel with a passion but driving it is like sitting on the tarmac.

With cars, each choice has its consequences so be ready whether ni Demio ama ni karumia thii


Does she enjoy "sitting on the tarmac"?



@mkeiyd, I am sure she does not like it too but the fuel part she likes it @2K a month. That's why its a compromise.


Kwani ni Tuktuk ama ni gari ya shopping tu?

hata tuktuk will consume more per month if used frequently.

@nakujua, Not really. The user fuels.

How much do wazuans spend on acquiring a car?

My rule of thumb is not more than 50% of my annual income in acquisition and 5% of annual income on maintenance and running.

Average ownership time span:5-7 yrs
If Obiero did it, Who Am I?

5500x12=66,000/-
66000 x 50/100 = 33,000/-

Your philosophy is good.A car is just a flosset whose main purpose is to help you move from Point A to B
It should be under 'others' category in your annual budget.

My purchase price: 4% of my equity dividends
Maintenance: 4% of my kengen
dividends.
