As long as main chasis were not affected, it should not pose any problem.....

^Any problem with that? For me, if it really affected the main chasis, it won't be safe...

Cold start will be a good indication.... But then 8-11 years car, sure will have problems.... As long as chasis no problem, should be ok....

QUOTE(wailup @ May 3 2011, 11:42 PM) 1. before start the car, check the engine by open up the engine oil cap. see the internal. brownish or shiny. shiny better la. Answer you in green, no offence, let's discuss more on this, haha......This, they can always change the engine oil..... 2. open up radiator cap, see water clear or not. normally is clear de lo.. dun wanna see rust water. They can always wash it a day before..... 3. start engine, let it run idle. listen to the exhaust sound. the rhythm of the beat should be even. unless they put highcam or something inside. This is the most important part, if engine no good, it will cost rm1000-2000 just to repair it back. Best to know when the car is left overnight. Cold start on next morning will tell thousand stories... 4. check engine vibration while idling. Mounting problem are small matter, change the mounting and case closed. Unless chasis got problem. 5. rev the engine, listen the exhaust. no misfiring. no funny firecracker sound. Not all can differenciate this. 6. drive the car, in slow, accelerate, braking, cornering, and try all the gear from 1 to 5 and R. This is good for checking the suspension system. btw, i have no idea how to check on the car chassis (whether did it suffer major accident b4 or not) This, use your hand to feel it..... |

I green you blue, haha... Well, there's more to check also..... But I doubt those second hand car dealer will do so much that I stated earlier just to make a rm10-14k business....
As for engine, too dirty or too clean will indicate something fishy.... So, rm4-5k is a good price to recon back the car.... Just an overhaul will touch rm2k while balance 3k can make up back the interior nicely.... |

Bottom line, just to make it simple for you.....
Engine got problem, you can overhaul it, rm2000(well, you got rm5000 what) Seats got problem, rewrap them, should be rm500-1000? This you have to survey. But, chasis got problem, nothing can be done.... |

QUOTE(bookstore @ May 5 2011, 10:54 AM) Ok, got your point, I will get a 1.5 instead of 1.3. Thx Good move you have.... But then once you get used to Wira's interior space, you will find you will be hard to get a car as comfort as Wira(but safety wise it is not up to par yet)... Whereby the T and H's highest end sedad's interior space can be on par with it.... Others, well, you test it yourself to get the answers.How to put this in words.... I'm very young (age 23) and do not want to burden myself with a Vios, City, Myvi, Persona. Which I have to make installment 700 - 1000 per month. Hence, i decided to get a Wira as it is cheaper in maintenance and I could cash and carry. Plan to drive for 2-4 years and by any change, my financial is more stable, bought a house, then might get a bigger / nicer car. Else, I will continue driving this car if the car is in good condition. Or I might buy a new car and keep Wira, that will happen when I married. But all these are still future, which are uncertain. Now is to get myself a WIRA 1.5, joining u guys soon. If you are doing 20-30kkm a year, rm1000 is the cost for you to keep Wira on its best condition after the first potential rm5000 spent. Which is relatively cheap compare to new cars. Cash and carry will be the best for the second hand car..... |

For me, FC are the most important factor.... Change air filter may help on power, but FC....
Make it this way, Wira is like a "sports" car, due to the seat are lower compare to others... When we are young, it is ok to have such seat... But as time goes by, well, higher seats are the best... |

Well, if no short, then no overheat.....
Another reason maybe the fan jammed by something and causing the motor to overheat.... So, check your fuse for this motor's rating and the wirings... Under normal condition it won't have such problem.... |

Yeah, get "original" Proton..... Better in terms of getting sub standard quality stuffs.
Wynn's are a good brand, just not much workshop carries them.... Still, best is follow the schedule on maintaining your car, that's the best way... |
