Dear Anon,

Frankly, there is more reaons as to why you face problems. It is not just because of the car purchase. I am pretty sure there are other issues ie very bad ba zi luck as well as some bad feng shui stars that are working against you.

As far as I could tell from your ba zi is that 2005 is a bad year for you with five-yearly luck (2003-2007) containing Harm and self-punishment which makes it a year to look out for potential troubles. Especially, so in the later half of 2005 where you enter into a Metal influence. In addition, this year you have nearly all the clashes ie 2 clashes (in Heaven & Earth Branch), Harm and Self-Punishment. So you have to be extra careful.

[2005] yi-you - Luck against you but Very Bad -

• [1st 6 months] yi - is a little auspicious.
  Heavenly Stem Clash: yi-xin
  
• [2nd 6 months] you - is a little inauspicious.
  Earthly Branch Clash: mao-you
  Earthly Branch Harm: you-shu
  Earthly Branch Self Punishment: you

As far as your element is concerned you are considered a Strong Metal person, which means that Water/Wood/Fire will be generally good for you. Of which you lack Wood (0%) so that means that even though Fire and Water are good for you, Wood is more needed for you to attain better balance. Thus, wood colour (green/brown) is more preferred than Water (blue/black/gray) or even Fire (red).

So Wood (green/brown) would be a much preferred colour for your car as well as to boost up your luck in general. Followed by Water and last by Fire. This is because that is the element you lack most in your entire chart is Wood element.

Hope that helps.

Warmest Regards
Robert
