Hello waja drivers,

i'm looking for my first car! and after some look around and advice from fellow LYN forumers, was referred to waja! I'm quite interested with the car also. Considering new or second hand waja. New one of course nothing to discuss, For second hand waja, i was told to look for the mitsu engine. Is there such a different with the campro and mitsu engine? was told mitsu has higher torque at lower rpm (which is cool, it does translate to better pick up, right?). Another common suggestion i get is get manual instead of auto, what is there the difference? i assume its gearbox issue? How expensive to replace a auto greabox then (i wouldn't mind to fork out a bit to settle it if it's not re-occuring)?

So what should i look out for when checking out second hand waja? any critical areas or common issues (power window apart) that i should be paying attention to? How much should i expect to pay for first time, i.e. change timing belt, change tyre etc. Can someone give a general price cap so i can budget? I know i can find out from the agent, but sometimes, it's better to get it from fellow buyer that has done it before, right?

Hope to hear some feed back. Am embarrassed to borrow company car back cuti already. time to get my own car!

Oh BTW, how much does a routine service (change gascatte, air filter, engine oil etc) cost for waja? would it be comparable to a myvi serviced by produa?
