QUOTE(travis_ckf @ Feb 20 2010, 10:42 PM) Do u mind going for a used japanese saloon like the civic, corolla or sentra? U can fetch those cars which were 10 yrs older, but getting loan for such cars might be tricky. Spend some money for wear n tear parts n u will get a reliable car i don't mind at all. there won't be loan involved. my only concern with >10yo car is FC. is it gonna be ok? i still think kelisa is the safer option in terms of FC & maintenance cost, am i right to say this?I wanted to recommend a used waja but finding a used unit that is reliable could need some efforts as most used waja will have quality defects.The used kelisa is a safer option though |

QUOTE(Aurora Boreali @ Feb 22 2010, 01:21 PM) Ok, I'm looking to buy a car in several months, so I'm starting to do some research. 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 have 3 type of cars in mind: 1. Peroduo Kelisa (A) Used. 2005-06. Scouted price: around RM 25k. 2. Honda City i-DSi (A) Used. 2004. Scouted price: around RM 48k. 3. Perodua Myvi (A) Brand New. Price: I heard it's around 48k? The reason why I shortlisted the Kelisa, it would be because of the affordability. I don't have to burdened myself with huge car loan and can pay it off faster. I would probably use this car for a shorter term, maybe 5 years before buying a better car. ) |

if u concern about fuel cost, i don't think u should consider a 2+ litre car. anyway, between the 2 maybe go for camry, although style-wise honda looks better (personal opinion of course

nujikabane, if u want the feel of a conti car, it's a good buy. it already depreciate before u buy it so any further depreciation wont be felt that much. but being a conti u gotta consider the whole package - spare parts & maintenance.

QUOTE(nujikabane @ Mar 31 2010, 09:13 PM) When you mention about maintenance, it got me wondering. quality is better but reliability.. depends. depends on brand/model. some of the conti cars are not designed for malaysian weather. plastic parts, wiring etc can damage earlier. i'm driving conti too. my roof linen dropped of. then comes to spare parts. in general they are more expensive since they are made in europe. that's why conti cars got clubs to get to know each other & networking to get best price, best repair shop & advice. but inspite of all this, i still love my car. that's the important thing Isn't conti cars reliable & of better quality, than say, national cars? Not wanting to say bad things about national cars, it's just that I have the impression that conti cars are sold & accepted worldwide, and as such means good quality  . i suggest u get to know peugeot club members & get their opinion. national cars also got their problems, but the service & spare parts are generally much cheaper.Added on April 1, 2010, 9:45 am QUOTE(phat_mcjack @ Mar 31 2010, 07:31 PM) @ajay67 i think it's riskyi dont know him...saw at mudah.com This post has been edited by ajay67: Apr 1 2010, 09:45 AM |

adamw, the question u need to ask is do u really need 7 seats to fully occupy? most MPV don't have big luggage space because normally not all 7 seats are occupied, i'm driving 7-seater too. my std configuration for family jalan2 is 6 seats occupied. then one seat at back row is flattened inside the floor to create big luggage space. enough for my balik kg needs. i hv tried roof box for one holiday (borrow from friend) but i don like it very much. too difficult to put things in there

QUOTE(adamw @ Apr 5 2010, 10:16 AM) Yes, have consider that option but notice some MPV like Alza the last seat cannot be folded individually. So either you sit 5 & fold the whole back row or you sit 6 with luggage on the seat. then look for mpv that can fold individually |
