You've finally made up your mind on your vehicle purchase. You've done your research at Philkotse.com and saved up for a down payment on a brand new car. Find out if you can actually deal with the monthly payments for owning a car!

1. Car Purchase and Amortization

First we have to pick a sample car. Let's go with the one of the country's best sellers, the Toyota Vios, specifically the 1.3E Automatic Variant.

According to Philkotse.com's latest Toyota Vios car price list, the 1.3E AT variant is at Php 878,000.00. At 20% down payment, that leaves us a loanable amount of Php 712,400.00.

With an average interest PA of 4.4% that adds an additional Php 156,728.00 interest on top of that principal, amounting to Php 869,128.00 over 60 months or Php 14,485.47 per month.

In itself that is a huge dent on your monthly expenses, but investing in a brand new car leaves us big savings on the next category.

2. Maintenance and Repairs

All cars, new or old can break down, and thankfully, new cars are under warranty in case anything does break down and all you have to worry about are PMS visits.

The first year of such visits for maintenance if you follow Toyota's schedule for the Vios may reach up to Php 9,000.00 in a year.

3. Fuel Costs

The average city dweller travels 30 km in a day to and from work, if we include weekend trips to the equation it does round out to be around 10,000 KM in a year.

Considering based on the Toyota Vios reviews, hovering around 10 km/l and current regular gasoline prices at Php 48.00/l, all that equates to Php 43,636.36 worth of gasoline in a year.

4. Parking

You would also need to consider parking rates. It's rare for companies to offer their employees free parking so you would have to keep this expense in extreme consideration.

Let's say you are an employee of the year and you come to work everyday to pay for your new Vios of course. The average price for an entire workday would be around Php 150.00 per day.

This amounts to Php 36,000.00 per year. Ouch.

5. Vehicle Registration and Insurance

You would need to of course register your vehicle with the LTO and have it insured. There are some dealers who would offer this as free add-ons to your initial purchase but let's say that you don't have that option.

Good Comprehensive car insurance can cost you a good Php 15,000.00 in a year plus registration of around Php 4,000.00.
