lol thanks bro =D

u've already answered it yourself. don't get burden with unnecessary high car loan if u can live with a 25k car. save your monthly pay for something better (car or otherwise )

I looking for a Honda City I-DSI year 2006.
The cheaper around RM56k

But, I also confuse about the new facelift Persona.
Is it I need to wait for it to lease?

Thanks for replying Travis I hope the pretty girl will reply too(hopeless advice junkie)!

Short version of the following 'thesis'.

1. How should I reply when they ask for my business card (don't have a job that requires one)

2. Any tips for getting maximum discounts from the SA? Or at least to price the car low enough so that the original amount paid includes the other costs of buying new imported car? Oh can they cross off the delivery charge if I pick it up from the dealership?
*************************************************************
Vain and boring version
---------------------------


The test driving suggestion brought one thing up: I test drove the mazda 3 and the SA asked me "may I have your business card please?"

*Blushhhhhhhhhhhhhh*

I tried to give a smart reply but he probably could see right through my lies. But he was nice enough to let me play with the 6 as well.

I don't have a job (yet) that needs biz cards but I make enough on the side to consider buying a little package of fun.

How to reply when they ask about your business card?

Someone I knew worked in a Suzuki dealership before. He said that SA play with their commission to reduce the sticker price and attract buyers.

Mazda prob can't score big discount because supposedly their commission is XXL and they last said something (paraphrased) like "We sell so much more than we can order, so sad lah".... maybe they should hire someone to pick up their slack ;P . Ford probably can because not many moving and SAs need to meet KPIs, but since it's under Sime, don't know if they got a way to screw me back.


I (and any who are alike) love to psycho people very gently. Does anybody have tips on how to score big discounts from the SA?

Any Kancil users here? Is a year 2003, 67k mileage Kancil any good? It's 10k cheaper than a Kelisa of the same year. Both are auto transmission.

Better still if anyone can tell me if there's any significant advantage of a Kelisa/ downside of a Kancil that justifies the 10k price different.

stick to kelisa if i were u. kancil auto only 3 speed. no power steering .
for my size (5'8") i feel uncomfortable driving a kancil. can't spread out my legs far enuff . kelisa is fine.

Thanks heaps!

Well, stay away from IDsi Honda City which comes std with the 7 speed CVT which is a BIG failure for Honda as it will start to screw up upon reaching 120k km. Look up for the local club here and u'll appreciate this advise. But if u like Honda City, look for the Vtec with 4 speed transmission.

Hello Guys,was in dilemma here so thought of asking you guys for some opinion.Thanks

1. Brand : (New) Proton / (Used) Honda or Toyota?
2. Budget : 60k
3. New/Used/Unreg : Doesn't matters.
4. Specs : Mid to Full
5. Transmission : Automatic
6. NA or FI : N.A. would be fine.
7. Type : Subcompacts.
8. Remarks : Not a big fan of hatchbacks,k-cars. which is why perodua is out of question for me.i am currently eyeing either Saga SE or a M-line Persona.but would like to consider other options like used imports.any suggestions?

how is Vios (dugong)? Good enough for daily use? i heard it has the same underpowered problem as City. Somebody confirm this?

If u want a new car, take the new Hi line persona. More worthy to buy, but wait for few months more for the facelift to be launched.

Used car wise, u can consider the nissan sentra from 2002-2004 model, i believe its achieveable within less than 60k. Otherwise if good FC is priority, vios n city will be ur pick.

Check the vios city threads in this forum

No selling adverts here. Proceed to automotive garage.

This thread will not able to help u. Perhaps check at zerotohundred at the cars for sell section.

- nvm - decision made

would consider buying 2nd car required for job.
Currently own a MYVI. Need a sedan for bigger bootspace.
Can afford Rm600-Rm700 per month, excluding maintenance
1. New Persona Auto 1.6 M
2. 2nd hand sentra 1.6 2007 above
3. 2nd hand city idsi/vtec 2006 above
4. 2nd hand waja 2005 mits engine
5. 2nd hand vios 2006 above

which will be better in terms of good financial planning.

1. Brand : Any brand
2. Budget : below 35k
3. New/Used/Unreg : used
4. Specs : mid to full spec
5. Transmission : auto
6. NA or FI : NA would be fine
7. Type : 5-doors, subcompact
8. Remarks : looking for good handling, fuel-efficient, reasonable at long distance travelling, less maintance cost. please advice. tq

i went thru some of the "buying a 2nd hand car links" buy yet i still can really make a decision.

my dilemma is that i'm not to sure whether to get a 2nd hand or new one. which model as well. though i roughly had a brief sketch in my mind.

1. Brand : Proton Perodua Toyota Honda (Gen2, Persona, BLM, Vios, City)

2. Budget : 50 - Max 70k (though 2nd hand proton/perodua onli cost bout 25 - 30k+). i know i can go even higher up to 90k for the new city. but dont feel like getting myself working for banks for 9years. i'l jus stick with practicality & afford-ability

2a. monthly Budget : Can afford upto a maximum RM600 a month on installments.

3. New/Used/Unreg : New for Proton & perodua, Used for Toyota & honda

4. Specs : chin chai. 1.5 or 1.6 oso can la, not for racing = =". as long as its fuel efficient. not too basic line la. i wont mind high line if budget is met

5. Transmission : driving in KL. so logically, its auto. but i wont mind manual

6. NA or FI :

7. Type :

8. Remarks : basically, i'm looking for a dependable and fuel efficiency car. i work for a bank, and always go out meeting up customers all the time around klang valley.


actually i dont mind 2nd hand for gen2 or persona or myvi.
my question is. HOW DEPENDABLE IS 2nd hand local manufactured cars??

I'm planning to buy a brand new car, preferably a proton saga to replace my old kancil. Is there now a promotion where I can trade-in the kancil and get a new saga with discounted price?

Cheers.

1. Brand=perodua myvi
2. Budget=
3. New/Used/Unreg= new
4. Specs=
5. Transmission=manual
6. NA or FI = efi
7. Type=
8. Remarks =

just wanna ask, how does regular myvi and SE differ?is it worth the extra ringgits? heard that itll bec heaper to buy regular than buy accessories.

MYVI SE has a short recap on the specifications compared to the normal MYVI: new front and rear bumper, sideskirts, rear spoiler, new sports rims, blue outlined Optitron meter panel, chromed muffler tip, leather seats, and silver trim for center console.

Opt for the regular myvi if you're not fancy about these thing, plus you can install a MYVI SE bodykit on regular myvi when u got bored with the looks, not to mention they are cheaper too
