How about proton savvy? Btw, is it all savvy is AMT gearbox? I've heard about positive feedback on savvy FC and sturdiness. I dont really think it is real ugly anyway.

With that salary, honestly get a used kelisa or kancil. New car is seriously not recommended. Or best avoid getting a car for the time being until u earn till 1.8k.

Man i will pick the swift as the swift is anytime better than the myvi. U looking for a long term car so both these cars will do fine although myvi parts availability is much better.

Savvy comes in both manual or AMT. Savvy FC is one of the best of its class but if possible, get the manual. The AMT is kinda odd here so i might worry u get into trouble if there any problems on the AMT.

1. Brand : Anything
2. Budget : 120k-150k
3. New/Used/Unreg : Doesn't matters.
4. Specs : Full Spec
5. Transmission : auto/tiptronic/semi
6. NA or FI : FI
7. Type : 4 seater/2 seater also can
8. Remarks : preferred fast car, acceleration and handling very important to me

I've heard about AMT scary problem becos if the transmission system broke down, it needs 15k to repair after warranty.... Is there any other problem for savvy(MT)? What would you recommend if compare a kelisa and a savvy? Both MT la, becos the 2nd hand price is both the same. Or a viva 850 manual? Quite a few choices around the price of 20k-25k for a 2nd hand, was hoping to get a 2nd hand car that can let me drive for another 9 or 10years probably.

ohh ..thanks ...any suggestion for used sedan car? what i heard is used car interest higher den a new car ..izzit true ?

yup.. the car owner is a mother that used to fetch children..
i ask the mechanic.. they say.. if kelisa spare part is RM80, the atos 1 will slightli higher around RM80+RM15, wont not much major difference..
n atos spare part is more reliable than kelisa spare part..
car seller also mention to me that driving a atos is more steady than kelisa
that is wat they say.. but i dunno..
still waitin for the owner to sell it.. they let go atos coz wanna bigger car.. children grow up d..
ehm.. but i like kelisa more than atos.

I just merely giving opinions and u all have the option whether to follow my advice or not. I always welcome another party's feedback as well.

Sports car for u? U can go for the honda integra DC5 or an unregistered toyota celica around that 150k and below range. If u looking for saloon, the honda civic 2.0 is good enough,sporty and fun to drive.

I would rather go for the kelisa if i wanna play safe and know eventually i will sell that car for an upgrade, as sorry to say the savvy resale value is going to be poorer than the kelisa.

I would say used car interest is slightly higher than new car, but honestly, forget it to get a car seeing i not sure if u pick 1/3 of ur net salary for loan ur options are quite limited.

If u like the kelisa, then go for ur option then. I pretty much assured the atos resale value gonna be poorer than the kelisa, esp if u see u gonna use ur next car for few years then will eventually sell to get a better car.

I not familiar with this cars based in sgpore/overseas, can anyone advise here?

However its an old mitsubishi and u may only get parts from chop shops which u know by 2011 u wont get used parts from overseas. Mitsubishi Mysia did not bring this model so dont expect any parts from them. If u want a reliable and economical to maintain, this isnt the good option.

Guys, I'm planning to buy a second car. what do you think about Nissan Sunny? Most of the price for Nissan Sunny is RM5000.

Can easily get spare part etc.? How about JPJ approval? Other alternative than Nissan Sunny?

hey,thanks..but juz wanna confirm with u, is the spare part policy thing will be implemented in 2011?is it confirm?i tot they cancel it out already?

I gonna loan the used car, so i will be sticking with 1 car probably until i can afford bigger car or the car is over the installment period. I am not really fond with kelisa big head light >< I just wanna ask, is savvy MT maintenance high? Becos i would probably fork out 300-400 per month for a used car, i think a used myvi, saga blm, savvy kelisa, viva is in my range. BUt then, i dont know which would suit me. My hometown i have a myvi auto and the fuel consumption is not really satisfying, if auto and manual doesnt have much difference in FC, i would go for auto becos of city driving. Sorry i am a newbie in car, especially buying car to drive in KL or west msia, my hometown is at sarawak, where traffic congestion is minimal.

anyone have experience wit hong leong bank car loan? how long the process untill fully disburse to seller will take if documents are complete? Let say direct dealing wit seller

need ur help

1. Brand : myvi SE, swift, vios(dunno what diff between J,E,G specs)
2. Budget : <80k. monthly payment 600-700
3. New/Used/Unreg : New ( since is my 1st car )
4. Specs :dunno which one better
5. Transmission : auto
6. NA or FI : - (dont know what is this)
7. Type : 4 seater.
8. Remarks : salary 2.4k nett

btw how to know how much downpayment that i need?
dunno anything about car. (T_T)
juz know how to driving it only

I think its a good buy for a used sunny, and there no worry for spare parts as it can be sourced locally. Just dont think of obtaining a loan from bank but since its dirt cheap, why not?

Look for good units and once u got it, let ur mechanic to check to see if there anything need to be changed.

The 15 year old car inspection was scrapped but not for the used foreign parts.

I bet the savvy manual is cheap to maintain but consult the savvy thread here to check for the maintenance cost. I would say put resale value as a consideration since u saying u will upgrade for a better car once u can afford it.

U need minimum downpayment of 10% of the car price. Ie for a new myvi which cost 50k, u need approx downpayment of 5k for that.

For ur case, i would advice go for a 50k car like the myvi. Dont ever think of the vios with ur pay range. Put somemore downpayment n take max 7 years of loan. Then u should be fine.

I think it quiet lot of fun driving a 20+ year old car after replacing all wears and tear parts. And a lil bit mod here and there. new painting job and beautify the interior etc.

From wreck to rich.

Donno whether Sunny's engine is still good nowadays but what made you think Sunny is a good buy?

Hmm u going to buy a car in australia? Well from ur choices the honda jazz will be a better choice as it is economical and reliable. But honda cars in australia is consider as expensive still.

Why not go for the aussie's fav hyundai? I believe the i30 is a best seller here so its a good option to go for that.

I think its a good buy for those looking for a banger wheels. Just check for body condition (i bet its gonna be rusty), the interior, the meters and indicators and the engine and check for oil leaks.

Be prepare to fork some good amount of money after u purchase to replace wear n tear parts it so u will have a more reliable ride.

Actually both of these cars are fine, just that ensure both are serviced regularly by toyota and car body is okay so to know that car did not involved in any accidents.

I would choose the 1st option but seems 59k for 2005 is still abit too high. Nego it lower to 57k perhaps.

yes Honda's parts no doubt are expensive...but i believe we do not change parts tht often..unless u damn unlucky got a lemon car..

btw is Hyundai stereng good? I like toyota's....light and easy.. Proton and Peugeot's..oh my...heavy! and hows the performance of hyundai?
