    Kinda pointless because it would also depend on your current status, etc.

    Other stuff you have to consider:
    -single, married, etc?
    -your home: owned, renting?
    -your home: single self-standing unit, condo, apartment?
    -kids? (how many? how old? where they studying?)
    -how many people in household? (maids? drivers? yaya?)
    -many many cars you own? how old?
    -etc

    -kids: 1, studying yes 4 years old
    -how many people in household? 2 maids + 3 family members
    -many many cars you own? Currently 1 and most likely will only maintain 1 car.

    Also depends if you intend to keep the other car or not and assuming that other car is fuel efficient... If the DOS LITROS is only use sparingly like weekends then maybe in your case P50K should be good enough... But then again I am just drawing that number out of thin air ikaw lang talaga makakaalam kung kaya mo...

    maybe the better question would be "how much does it cost to maintain such vehicles?", and then see if you can afford to spend that amount of money out of the usual expenditures

    -married.
    -your home: owned
    -your home: Town house, 1 car garage no roof.
    -kids: 1, studying yes 4 years old
    -how many people in household? 2 maids + 3 family members
    -many many cars you own? Currently 1 and most likely will only maintain 1 car.

    Siguro to revise this, how much is a good estimate to maintain those kinds of vehicles annually like what part breakage should I prepare most? Insurance for those vehicles how much? Expense for maintaining or replacing those tires?

    Thanks!

    Btw, you can share even if the year of the brand you own doesn't match perfectly. Like for example may experience kayo owning a 98/99 Accord, that will do. The top of the line Toyota Corolla na 2.0 ba iyon or a mid-top of the line Honda Civic, I assume halos parehas din ang maintenance nun.

    You can also make side comments when it comes to fuel efficiency. I guess almost all of them have a fuel consumption of 8km/liter?

    Currently immune to the costs of maintaining a Toyota Vios in the CASA. Sa usage ko, regular maintenance per year cost me approximately Php14,000 min and the max is +Php13,000. So mga 27k a year iyong pinaka mataas na naexperience ko in owning a Vios hehehe. Iyong +13k na iyon kasi nasiraan ako ng right drive boot shaft and radiator fan motor. Iyon iyong balloon expense na naexperience ko sa Toyota Vios.

    I'm wondering if I'm going to own a 2.0+ car, magkano kaya ihahanda kong money annually provided na i-cacasa ko sya. Wala kasi akong trusted mechanic and gusto ko hehehe casa spec lagi ang sasakyan ko kung meron man iyon hahaha.

How much take home pay should you have to properly maintain a 2.0+ automobile?
