Owning a car may be a dream or aspiration for many people. It’s understandable because today, a car is not only a means of transportation but also a symbol of social status. So it’s also become part of people’s lifestyle, especially for those living in cities.

If your money is significantly larger or at least equal to the price of the car, it’s best to pay in full with cash. However, this obviously requires a significant budget, as cars under 5 years old in the mid-range category currently range from Rp 150 million to Rp 300 million.
If your funds are limited, you can consider buying it on credit. The most important thing is to ensure your financial capability, as you will need to make monthly installment payments. So, make sure to do a thorough calculation first.
This cost is essential, as the car will need maintenance to keep its performance in good condition and ensure it remains comfortable for long-term use.
Motor vehicle tax comes with several additional fees, such as the Compulsory Road Traffic Accident Fund (SWDKLLJ), administrative and Vehicle Registration Plate (TNKB) fees, as well as costs for STNK issuance and registration renewal, and 5-yearly license plate replacement.
