The real cost of owning a proton saga 1.3

This month is the last payment i am going to pay for my Proton Saga. It has been 5 years since i started paying it.

Buying cost: RM 35000 (assume no down payment)
Car interest over 5 years: 3.5%x35000x5= RM 6125
Car service every 6 months: RM 200x2x5=RM 2000
Car insurance: RM 1067.20 (33K) +744.40 (30K,25%)+640.84 (27K,30%) +533.68 (25K,38.5%)+405.56 (20K 45%)=RM3391.68
Road Tax: RM 70x5=RM 350
Speed Trap: RM 300
Car repair due to accident: RM 400

Total money spend on the car excluding petrol: RM47566.68

Car worth today: RM 15000

Money spend on the car during 5 years of owning it =RM 47566.68-15000=RM 32566.68
Cost/Month= RM 542.78
Cost/Day= RM 18.09

So far my car has driven 55000km, so 32566.68/ 55000=60 cents/km

Conclusion:
If the petrol cost 20 cents/km, every km i drive will cost me 60+20=80 cents

A trip to kl:
Bus cost RM 14.20/person
If i drive my car up= 80cents x170km +Toll RM18=RM 154

Holy Sh*t, next time i go kl i better take bus if i go alone.
