1) As has been said many times in the past, resale values comparisons should only be made for cars at least 5 yrs old. Cars between 1-3 yrs old will depreciate about the same regardless of brand name.

2) Well, im not that smart but smart enough to know that changing a car when the car is problem free and serves the purpose is not a wise move. I rather invest in properties and gold trading (which i have done). This gives much higher returns and probably will enable me to retire comfortably at the age of 45 which is my target.

well...it's juz a 1 mth car....since ald bought it, juz use it for few years....mayb can consider ask him change 2 2011 avante or facelift forte in 2011.....

Hey Xion, make sure u claim loss of usage charge from insurance. I think its about RM 50 per day.

how to claim?

hey guys anyone gotten the body kit offered by naza?? is it good??

try search for ABS/Plastic material rather than PU/Fibre..

maxium is RM60 per day and minimum RM20 per day. And IF im not mistaken maximum only 14 days.

You have to write an official letter to your insurance. maybe the workshop can help you. thats whay my workshop did last time

acually, wat it means of looss of usage charge?

My insurer is charging RM140 annual premium for max 2 weeks of compensation for loss of use, RM50 per day.
from what we heard, Forte if goes in for repair took 2-4 months so i guess all forte owners should get this so at least you have RM700 to compensate for the period loss of use.


cybermaster98, what's your opinion on the EWP for Forte? worth?

It basically means you can get some compensation for the time when your car was in the workshop. In your case you can claim for the maximum. Insurance companies wont offer this to you. You have to request for it. Call your insurance company HQ and ask them the procedures for claiming this. SInce your car has already been evaluated it should be in the system. Different insurance companies will have different rates.

If you can get RM 50 x 14 days (max) that means you will get additional RM 700 'income'. And since i gave u this idea, you can give me 30%.

I havent seen all the details of the EWP. Could you put down the important details and clauses of the EWP?

i tot pu would be better than abs??

i think ABS better, that's wat the kedai cat told me....plastic will b even better

1. Coverage: unlimited mileage for additional 36 months (manufacturer warranty is 2 years/50k mileage)
2. After Market Premium: RM640
3. Compenant and parts covered : see pdf in link below

http://paultan.org/2010/11/10/proton-inspira-launch/

The official price list for the new Proton Inspira have been announced:

Proton Inspira 1.8 M/T – RM78,999
Proton Inspira 1.8 CVT – RM84,999
Proton Inspira 2.0 CVT – RM91,999

simply said, PU is heavier while ABS is light...so which one better....

but light or not is not the big issue for me is the repair

it shows here that abs very hard to repair but same for pu also

but the body kit that naza offer is abs right?

wow... you can predict what will happen when your age is 45 ?
properties & gold trading gives much higher in return ?
if i can predict the future, i better buy 4D everyday, at least i know what's the 1st prize number for tmrw & collect the jackpot every week... i think i can retire 35 instead of 45...

bro, you do know the difference of 'investment' and 'gambling' right?
sorry to interrupt.. couldnt help with the statement above

Yes this clearly proves his immaturity. He doesnt understand the meaning of 'investment'. I bought a property for 470K last year and this year it has already appreciated 40%. Plus i bet he has not invested enough in ASB which gives a return of approx 9% yearly. Not to mention gold dividends which has risen by about 23% this year alone.

Such a pity! he's still stuck with the changing cars mentality.
