i knew it! see, told u guys d

next time he will start asking about jaguar or aston. I think he asked for Camaro SS which got nuked i think.

TS u ask stupid question again ah? i remember i replied on some of your non-sense replied/thread. seems like it got deleted.
why dun u buy a lancer gt and mod to evo10? or civic 1.8 mod to type R? then u won't be worried of the maintenance?

you dont get his point

do you know why expensive cars depreciate alot more ? especially the one with high CC and expensive roadtax?

because high likely people who can afford these kind of cars at brand new price woudlt have problem to pay for maintenance ,fuel consumption,repairs , roadtax etc

but in second hand market its totally different

thats why 2nd hand e200k are more expensive than e280 and 730 are more expensive than 745 same goes to auto car are more expensive than manual cars in the 2nd hand market , because 1 manual cars are rarer, 2nd its cheaper to maintain and as for aging gearbox they can be costly to fix ( on the contrary for brand new cars manual are cheaper )

at the range of 100k+ , 200k+ or even 50k etc people "normally" have budget and concern about those hidden costs

as for those who can afford 500k-1mil+ car onwards they normally dont really concern about the hidden costs

thats why most people just get brand new car which has warranty and brand new normally no problem

people who can afford 500k recond or 900k new porsche(example) wouldt even care about fuel consumption,maintenance,road tax but for those who are eyeing on older and higher mileage boxster which cost around 170k-300k (depending on year condition and spec) most likely will be concern of this , thats is why brand new entry level 3 series and c class are doing so well people with the budget of 250k-300k because people normally are still concern about those hidden costs at this level

yup and i think most people can afford 200k-300k brand new with low maintenance

not as many can afford a 160k porsche with porsche "maintenance"

umm yeh i get ur point but mostly its juz changing timing belt and fuel comsumption and servicing etc

if it is using 18 inch, you will cry just by changing its tyre..

Just give us the link,easier for you.

Porshe Boxster S 600k only ar? Then why my mom's friend who is getting ever richer only got the Benz W212 E250 CGI Coupe? He say 500k+ too.

its on youtube also, girgio silver i think , here at SIC during one of d days

Its obvious you guys haven't seen how many left their car stranded at workshops because they cannot pay for replacement parts. Some even abandon them there. At my mechanics place, there are a few merc and BMW abandon because they could not cough up money to fix them. One is an engine change because the owner did not take care of it. One is from an accident and it cost RM16000 to fix compared to what official factory quoted that cost RM25000. And then there is one with gearbox problems that either needs a gearbox overhaul or change and it cost a few thousand.

But really owning continental cars isn't the MOST expensive car to be maintained. The many Honda Jazz/ Fitt/ 1st gen City fanboys must be crying now that they knew the CVT gearbox replacement cost RM7000 to be replaced from used unit. I have seen a lot of units sold hesitantly because they cannot afford to fix the gearbox. And that car is just shy of RM100K.

Owning cars IS about maintenance. In the end u have to factor your daily makan money, house repayment and even kids. If you are young and have a father with endless flow of river to be shared with you, i rest my case.

so the only way 2 play with these big boys is 2 start big business n shoot up in the ladder while bcum tai kor tai yourself...thats the only way 2 play them

OR ELSE

y dont u just leave this fcking hellhole n move elsewhere bcoz W212 in overseas will only cost one camry here

AGREE

well said, once i was asking about vw dsg gear box maintenance and reliability and two idiotic and rude senior member of lowyat kept on hantam me, tell me "if you have to ask, then you cannot afford it" kind of bs nonsense.

After that, i knew i need to treat this forum less seriously, esp those so called senior member( they are not in this thread, so no offense ppl) with thousands of posts are actually boy racer/fan boy that cannot afford anycar and think properly.

They even said, it comes with warranty, so we dont need to worry, as if the DSG gearbox is a plug and play usb that do not need to spend a week in garage to change the gear box. ( and yes, dsg gearbox even failed after 5k mileage, go vag forum and read)

I think a mature man, no matter if he is buying a kancil or ferrari, ppl do concern about maintenance and reliability. Becos we buy a car to drive, not to fix and park in garage right? even in a race, ppl are talking about reliability , thats why we see a lot of porsche in endurance race due to reliability.

Those who hantam, pls think properly, you can skip the thread if you found its a waste of time, you cant stop ppl from asking question, do we really need all those," i'm making 2k , can i afford xxx car" kind of thread?

Well, if thats the case. Try going to 2nd hand dealer beside the road. How many new cars are stranded there ? Most of them cant afford the installments and were forced to lelong them. Or you can say the car is bad quality, useless and the owners sell them away to buy another car.

hmm...its kinda expensive..

u shud get Nissan 350z
