Not much idea about the vehicle part but i must ask you what made you budget your condo rent and groceries at that amount? What area are you planning to live in?
For a family of two, to me, groceries should not exceed 1200-1300..! In fact, some couples with moderate lifestyle manage even at a much lesser budget of 800..!
You might wanna have other members comments on this..!
Cheers..!

Karen 1604-Thank you
coooolguy_tdh-Thank you too for the comments. Yes we are 2 elder persons. I have groceries budget at 2,000/- because we use also
cheese, Sausages, high quality meats and a few bottle of wines. This will come up easily 2000 pm.

Condos we look the comfort of like Lumina Kiara, Kiaraville, Tiffani Kiara in Mont Kiara as an example with 3 rooms.  Plus you may have all the facilities and securities with no compromise.  Only question is Condo fees/ Utility which should cover cost like water, electricty. Correct me if I am wrong. No idea. Kindly check my list and see whether it is realistic in terms of amounts.

Rest everything seems to be in order..!
Cheers..!

Condo management fees are usually included in the rent and paid by the landlord direct to the management office. Car service depends on the car make.

Gravitas,  Thank you, in the meantime I have got some Information from other colleagues.  Your Statement is absolutely correct.

Condo rent 5000 RM is way too much. You can get one at 1500 max!

5000 and below is just an approximate figure. The price of rental would depend on the location of the apartment/condo. As with in any country, rental price for a house/apartment would be based on a lot of factors. It's closeness to amenities/LRT station, safety, convenience and popularity of the said property all play a role in the pricing. So does the type of furnishings which is provided for a unit.

The family in question has seemingly done some research and come up with that figure thereafter.  Their lifestyle preferences would seem to indicate they have set a certain standard for themselves.

Thank you for highlighting this. If it is 1500 Max., would you be Kind enough to let me know what type of condos you are referring to:  May be you can send me a PM with some Website address which Shows Condos in question.  Thank you

As Gravitas mentioned, we have done our research on this and
