Please everyone give suggetion which car (ALZA Premiun or PERSONA SE) is best to buy?

Alza:
laugh.gif
1. Small Family car
2. Good Fuel consumption in city drive.
3. Spacious
4. Reputable engine (but no VVT-i)

mad.gif
-1. Some people claim under power when carrie more than 4 adault.
-2. Engine will increase Fuel consumption drasticly if heavy load carried.
-3. Local car common problem.

Persona:
laugh.gif
1. Lite Sedan
2. Good power in long distance
3. Big luggage box.
4. Nice handling and conering.

mad.gif
-1. Some people said 1.6l car will not get cheap petrol next year may onwards.
-2. Heavy weight (~300kg belive or not) due to longer body than Alza (not noticeble untill matching the spec).
-3. local car common problem.

Thank You rclxms.gif

Hi guys,

want to get some opinion from you especially those who purchase 2nd hand vios. i went to a used car dealer today and the SA offer me the final price for G spec vios (Jan 2008) for RM68,000. Mileage about 35,000km. Do u think it's a good offer? If i buy it..mean that i will only have 1 year manufacturer warranty for that car. Compare to J spec..which I may buy the new one...I can still get 3 years warranty... So which one should I go for? The car has good interior & exterior with full service records from UMW. What should I check before buying a 2nd hand car?

another question:

i) the SA charge RM1k ++ for the name change & agreement. Is this normal?
ii) the insurance cover usually based on our loan amount or the car value from the bank? I was thinking to cover it based on the bank loan amount.

Hope can get some input from vios owner before making my decision.

Thanks guys! notworthy.gif

1. Brand : Proton WAJA 1.6X/1.8X Premium OR FORD LYNX RS 2.0i(A) Sunroof
2. Budget : 50K
3. New/Used/Unreg : used
4. Specs : Full Spec
5. Transmission : Auto
6. Type :  Sporty handling automatic sedan.
7. Remarks : I am single at the moment.  Will sell off my Ford Telstar 1998/99 V6 body 2.0i4 Ghia for RM13,800 hopefully.

Note: If I get WAJA 1.6X Premium 4G18 Mitsubishi engine, I'll leave it STOCK coz the standard engine is ECONOMICAL AND TOUGH. Budget, below RM30k.  BUT If I get a Waja 1.8X, plan to use till engine KO then Changed to Mitsubishi MIVEC MD engine with INVECS-II Sports mode (tiptronic).  I planned to set RM23k budget for the car and RM12k for transplant.  ORIGINAL IDEA is Mitsubishi FTO MIVEC 6A12 engine but heard JPJ no longer approve 2.0L conversion for Waja.  Preferably PREMIUM SPEC (ie. ABS, Airbag, Leather) in Met Dark Grey (premium colour) OR BLACK (ASEAN / OIC edition).

ON THE OTHER HAND, If I get a Ford Lynx RS 2.0i(A) Red or White, I'll leave it STOCK. Maybe worse case scenario, K&N drop in filter, EBC Brake hose+Bendix Metalking, ATF Cooler that's all... For the Lynx RS, my budget is BELOW RM50k.  Pref Red or white with below 120000km, accident free.  NICE NO and Service record would be a BONUS.

Thanks for reading...  Pls help me to find...

Ehh avoid the 1.8 waja if can else u will land urself with lots of problems. Speaking about transplants to the waja, i think the mivec is good enough but some even installed with the awesome 4G63 from the evo 4-5. But remember there wont be half cuts by 2011 and next yr halfcuts will be very very costly.

Hmm i think its all up to ur initiate to find ur desired car, keep hunting motortrader.com.my and u will find ur ride eventually. Good luck.

1. Brand : MyVi
2. Budget : +-35k
3. New/Used/Unreg : Used
4. Specs : Full/SE
5. Transmission : Auto
6. Type : Any
7. Remarks : Main concern is safety and fuel consumption.

Also would like general opinion if it is a good idea to wait until next year to buy? Will there be any price difference for the cars on the 2nd hand market?

Thanks!

Well depending when the car is registered, but bear in mind if a car is heavily demand in used market, years of difference wont make much difference. However never hurt to purchase ur used car by 1st week of Jan.

1k for name change and agreement is abit steep, u may want to becareful on that one. The insurance cover will cover based on ur car value on that year.

Overall the pricing is good, but with that very steep SA charge its kinda dogy deal, u might want to reconsider other SA or other showrooms. wink.gif

Thanks for the feedback. just found out that it's a 2007 car which registered in 2008. So decided not to buy it since i think the value should be lower than that whistling.gif

Hey guys, I am planning to get a car very soon.
Here is what i am looking for:

Brand: Toyota, Nissan, Honda, Ford (or any good brand) - ( not proton or perodua)
Budget: Less than RM40,000
Used Car
Auto
Sedan/4 seater
cc: 1.6 - 1.8
year: Preferably no older than 2000


I am a student right now, I will be using this car for about 5 years. Of course, I want a car with cheap maintainence and easy availability of parts. Spacious car is prefered.

I have 2 cars in mind right now, Nissan Sentra 1.6 (A) 2001 and Ford Lynx 1.6 (A) 2001. Don't know much about these two cars, anyone with any experience with these cars, please share your opinion on them.

One more thing, when is the best time to buy a used car, by this year or should I wait for 2010 to come? I will need the car before february.


Thanks in advance for any response biggrin.gif

Well its all depending if u want stock from 2009 or 2010. Its true that u will get more discounts or freebies if u get cars from 2009 stock in 2010 should there are avail units.

It wont be matter if u keeping ur car for very long, unless if u looking for a short term car.

The nissan sentra 2001 is just nice within ur budget. I bet its cheap to maintain and reliable as well, just that dont expect the FC to be as good as vios/city.

Speaking about if getting a car in 2010, it will not make any difference as ur used car will value depending when that car is registered. Well it is now 2 weeks away from 2010 so why not just wait and see?

Good day everybody,

Got some doubts, I've booked for a new car & the car should be ready to collect by end of Jan 2010.
My bank loan just approved & bank told me that I'm free to sign loan agreement anytime.

So, Shall I sign loan agreement right now or later? or when car ready to collect?

Regarding the downpayment, SA told me can pay upon arrival of the car. icon_question.gif icon_question.gif icon_question.gif

15k wont get u much good used cars unless if u dont mind opting for used old saga, iswara or wira. Seeing u willing to fork 500-600 per month and for say 5-7 years loan u can opt for a new saga or viva. U looking for fuel efficiency hence the new viva is feasible choice here.

Btw for that price of a new viva why not go for a used kelisa? U can get for 20-30k, cheaper than the viva and economical as well.

I might not want to consider the KIA if u looking for lots of spare parts, although the KIA forte is the best buy on that budget range. Safest bet if u looking for good aftersales (good service n parts) will goes to honda city n toyota vios.

A used satria neo manual from 2006 will cost u approx 30-35k, and say if u took 30k loan and repayment of 7 years then u need to pay 450++ per month. Plan ur loan figures at this page http://autoworld.com.my/v2/tools/loan_payment.asp

Who ever says local cars are not durable esp perodua are utterly nonsense. A used grand livina 1.6 will cost u above 75k++ hence for that amount of money, save it and get the alza. Its a new car and u will entitled 3 or 5 years of manufacturer warranty.

Test drive it and see it for yourself, for me, the alza is a good buy. smile.gif

Its okay to get the wira SE but avoid the auto with 3 gears one. Go for the manual.

This is funny, u only putting 10k as budget, u dont want a problematic car and u even say urself better get a new car. What do u want honestly? doh.gif Honestly u hardly find any used pre 2003 locally made car less than 10k. Maybe u can go for a used kancil or kelisa but pls up ur budget to 20k and its posssible.
