Fully agree with you. But for what it is, that K9K motor is a peach.

So let me get this straight: You want to buy a R500k car @ R10k per month excluding insurance to save R6k per month in petrol?

No.
I bought the car cash for R413K. (Well. I actually swopped the FJ for it), to save R3K per month on fuel.
The insurance is cheaper than the FJ.
I think my maths are pretty good
