Its a bet. Even after buying CKD or CBU u won't really know of CBU is worth the extra $$$.
It may be a placebo effect that u pay more so u feel the quality is better.
Or the quality is really better but is it worth the price
My personal opinion is buy CBU and have peace of mind that the quality is probably better than CKD.
Even if it's placebo then let it be.
I am always of the opinion buying a new car is the most ridiculous thing I can do.
Doesn't make sense to spend so much on 4 wheels.
But the point is it feels good. In fact it feels great.
Sensibility shldnt come into equation.
So just go with what u think will make u feel better. Saving money or buying car.
If save money then better don't buy Mazda... Buy inspira.
For me it's more than just a car. It's buying the pleasure of driving. I don't want to always think.... Would it be better of its CBU?
So I bought CBU. No regrets.

thanks for ur useful advice there.. for time being, i think ill proceed with that 2nd hand m3 2.0. even the ckd 2.0 lesser 10k then cbu, it still above my budget range.. i think im gonna stick with that 95k m3 instead..

u'll feel safer
u'll get less problems
u'll go further
u'll safe more
u'll be happy
u'll spend less on modifications as there's nothing much to do compared to others
u'll feel the excitement [Zoom Zoom]

Dont buy Pivot brand. Try looking others brand.

I wanna join next time!!!!

Any recommended brand?

Just wait for the CKD pricing to be launched. The lower prices will surely bring down the overall 2nd hand value of the current CBU model. Im driving a CKD Toyota for the past 7.5 yrs and ive had no problems with it. CBU or CKD both can have quality issues. Its normally salesmen talk when they say CKD's are not as good as CBU. Even Volkswagen will be rolling out their CKD Passat this year as well. Just be patient and wait.

Sorry but this is typical salesman talk. Not much truth in most of the above points except maybe on the modifications part.

18 months or not doesnt matter. Its the year of manufature that counts. The car is a 2009 model so the pricing would be suited for that year not the actual age of the car.

Buying a car thats only 2 yrs old is quite dangerous unless ure buying from a known and trusted person. Ppl usually sell cars within 1-3 yrs cuz of accident. Better be very careful despite whatever explanations or excuses they give.

CKD come in both the sedan and HB, 1.6L and 2.0L. 2 Specs
Total 4 colors and 2 new color for CKD.

PM me for the latest PROMO.
