Should you not look for a job closer to home?

I think OP is looking for a stop-gap before emigrating.

Good point.

Personally I would take a big hit if I had to drive to work everyday.

Me too. A car won't fit down the passage.

If my work was down the passage then soon I would not fit down the passage.

I looked at the jazz 2013 model. Not getting any good offers on the Pajero Sport. Will have to private sell.
Also, I'm thinking even if save 3k on installments and 2k on fuel, and if I leave in 6 months I will end up losing on the car.

Because I will be saving 30k which only covers the interest rate. So its not a save to sell and buy. Unless i really do buy a piece of sht car for 30k

what makes you say you are leaving in 6 months?

My tazz is not fuel efficient, I get 600KM on a 60l tank. Everything else is dirt cheap though, insurance is cheap, services are cheap, tyres are cheap. It works for me to keep it as I don't put a lot of km on it each year.

If your main cost is fuel then definitely get a modern car with decent fuel efficiency. You will probably still be ahead if you say got a Balade on a payment plan with lower insurance. That much money sounds insane.

Unfortunately, the TAZZ gets the 'Stinkiest most exhaust fumes because of poor engine design' award.

Where you win with a citigolf or similar is the insurance, you'll be heck of a lot cheaper though they are a bit of a target for hijackers.

If you want a hijack-proof car get a Micra.

Dogs are ready in 3 Months. Selling house process already started. Papers are all sorted in 1 month.
The wife already has multiple job offers.

So 6 months is a reasonable timeframe.

how are your applications going for a visa?

That is why I walk every morning a couple of times.... from the kitchen to the office.

Haha - do not even hijackers want them?

How long was your house on the market before you got offers?

 

[maumau]

No offers yet. Only starting that next week. I'm bargaining on it not taking more than 3 months to sell

Good luck. So many houses in our area on the market

OP: Scaling down is a good idea, an old Citi golf is a bad idea!

@crocopede friends who left recently literally sold everything. Eventually they were sitting on boxes but happy they'd made a few $$$ on their sales.

Maybe sell all your stuff and keep the car until the last minute?
