thanking you in advance
Why don't you go for a new car.
Proton saga is the best selling car for 3-4 months in Malaysia. Viva is the best fuel saver there is in the market.
More than 10 year old cars has a higher risk of high maintenance.

If you can afford RM 73k of loan, get a new J Spec (basic model) Vios.
I've owned 3 protons in my life and i've never had real issues with the quality control. Maybe just my luck. my wife drives a 6 month persona se. No issues. There are small bits and pieces to complain but a good service center can help you resolve thos issues.
