Must set some money for maintenance every year  But if you have DIY skill to fix and know where to source for part,it is quite ok |

Thanks in advance city seems to be the logical purchase. no offence towards forte or kia. forte is by far the best design car for kia. but city seems to be a the better deal. and for sure, less riskier. when forte was announced or launched. i tot the pricing shud be slightly lower than city or vios to gain better market penetration. |

Apologies for late reply. As usual, replies based on ur criteria from the forms as per page 1
 QUOTE(jing_kohkoh @ Feb 26 2010, 01:02 AM) would consider buying 2nd car required for job. Why not sell off ur myvi n go for the new persona? The sedan might as well suits u for work n normal driving, moreover with good 2nd hand resale value frm the myvi, u can easily afford the new persona.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. QUOTE(kopio99 @ Feb 26 2010, 03:39 AM) 1. Brand : Any brand Well its not a fuel saving car, but looks like the used proton satria neo 1.6 manual fits ur bill here. 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 QUOTE(ahnien @ Feb 26 2010, 02:58 PM) i went thru some of the "buying a 2nd hand car links" buy yet i still can really make a decision. The quality of 2nd hand locally made cars are very subjective, at times depending on luck too. Take Perodua if u want a safer choice. I would say u stick with 60k car such as the new persona, new myvi or used city/vios. Take ur pick here. 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?? QUOTE(kokokranc @ Feb 26 2010, 05:27 PM) 1. Brand=perodua myvi Check the showroom n i bet u can spot the difference between these 2 trims.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. QUOTE(Mc Laren @ Feb 27 2010, 12:33 AM) OPTIONAL 1: I not sure what ur priority, FC? Resale value?1. Brand : Naza Forte 2. Budget : RM85,000 3. New/Used/Unreg : New 4. Specs : 1.6SX 5. Type : Auto 6. Remarks : Fuel Efficiency, Spare Part, Resell Value OPTIONAL 2: 1. Brand : Honda City 2. Budget : RM85,000 3. New/Used/Unreg : New 4. Specs : No Full Spec 5. Type : Auto 6. Remarks : Fuel Efficiency, Spare Part, Resell Value Please advice!! Thanks in advance Well just determine how long u wanna use ur car, if its 5yr or less, take the city, n if 7-9 years or more, take the forte. As simple as that. Btw test drive both these cars n see which one u like most. For me the forte has the best spec n value here. |

Hi, to those who are going to buy Persona. Please hold until 09th March 2010.
New facelift persona is launching soon.. Headlamp, taillamp, sideskirt, bumpers, lips, interior abit changes. While the engine still remain the same. Got this news from a proton inside man... Not sure it's reliable or not.. But there's no harm to hold your buys for 1 week more right?? I've predict this since they only left Silver, Black, Grey color for all the Persona now... |

Option:1
1. Brand. = Honda civic hatchback 2. Budget. 3. New/Used/Unreg. = Used 4. Specs. = Yr96 Vti-r B16a2 5. Transmission. manual 6. NA or FI ? = nA 7. Type. = hatch 8. Remarks. = 17x,xxx kms , clean. Option:2 1. Brand. = Mitsubishi fto 2. Budget. 3. New/Used/Unreg. = used 4. Specs. = Yr95 GPX 6a12 mivec 5. Transmission. = manual 6. NA or FI ? = nA 7. Type. = coupe 8. Remarks. = 16x,xxx kms , roof got rust spots. ___ Things to consider: I'm in ozzie so they'r both same price range, but fto needs touchup on exterior/paint job, and fto parts very hard to find/expensive. labour cost very expensive here. i like the fto looks & 200hp on 1.3t kerb weight. but on long run, civic 1.6l 4cyl. cheaper to maintain, good on fuel, cheaper on registration, cheaper on insurance (vs. fto's 2.0l v6 import) 160hp on 1.1t kerb weight, not too bad also. which one should i go for? or, which one will you get? and why? thnx. |

Hello,
Currently I drive kelisa 850 manual.. love the fuel efficiency part (20km/l).. thinking of changing to bigger cc car, not necessarily sedan.. but my main and top priority is the fuel efficiency and decent acceleration..nothing else matter i don't mind the looks.. currently my choice is Smart forfour 1.5 AMT.. i heard from a forumer nicknamed acbc the car has a very good fuel consumption and acceleration and may fit my preferences.. please advise.. my budget would be 500-600 per month..my kelisa has no outstanding loan. |

Me planning to buy a car this year around August . I know it's still a long way to go but I want to do a survey first.....
Currently,I'm interested in honda city and naza forte....So I wanna ask you all which 1 is better deal?? I want a car which is fuel efficiency cuz my job required me to travel a lot.......

QUOTE(ApeKG @ Mar 4 2010, 11:27 PM) Hello, The smart forfour. Yup my fren has one and indeed its a very economical car, perhaps the best in class. But the maintainence is not cheap as it is done by mercedes SC. U can opt for 60k or below for a used unit here.Currently I drive kelisa 850 manual.. love the fuel efficiency part (20km/l).. thinking of changing to bigger cc car, not necessarily sedan.. but my main and top priority is the fuel efficiency and decent acceleration..nothing else matter i don't mind the looks.. currently my choice is Smart forfour 1.5 AMT.. i heard from a forumer nicknamed acbc the car has a very good fuel consumption and acceleration and may fit my preferences.. please advise.. my budget would be 500-600 per month..my kelisa has no outstanding loan. But with ur 500-600 per month for loan u may need to take max 9 years, provided if ur kelisa can sell for 15k. 9 years loan for a used car is not advisble. Another worthy alternative is the honda jazz, i think the 2004-2005 idsi model can be achieved within 50k++. QUOTE(Neiji @ Mar 5 2010, 12:07 AM) Me planning to buy a car this year around August .
