I'm not so worried about this since I live 5 mins away from the nearest VW service center and 15 mins away from FA Wagen from my office. I'm more concerned with the major inconvenience I may experience if something does go wrong - then again this issue only arises when I'm going outstation while travelling and not when I have arrived at my destination.

Yes, now what you really need to worry is when you travelling outstation. My previous company got a salesman, driving a VW Beatle and I heard the car engine die somewhere near Terengganu, and was towed to the nearest bengkel, the car left there for almost 1 week and cannot find the spare parts, so need to tow back to KL VW sc and that car was in that sc for more than 3 weeks to wait for the spare parts to arrive from Germany. And this is the only part that you need to worry when thinking to buy a conti brand, same go to Peugeot, SAAB, Skoda, Citreon, Renault (this one is a bit more safer now due to some model is sharing same engine with Nissan), Volvo, Ford, ....

What is your current ride?

'08 Corolla. I called my bank and confirmed the outstanding amount is about 12k with 6 months left to pay.

My trade in price ranges between 76 ~ 82k. So confirmed minimal trade in value after settlement also got 70k.

Why do you ask?

your 1 is new facelift? mine 2006 only 52k

Next he will ask do u have any "prime" property investment in KL?

Bros,
crossing over from Japanese to German engineering, I have to say I had missed a lot in driving satisfaction all these while. Now that some brand are in direct competition of the Jap marquees, we are spoilt or choice. My feeling is , test drive, and if you 'feel' it , just go or it.
life is short.
enjoy your drive!

lol.... you are right... this guy must be just cheating all of us here.... He has so much money and investing alot of money in property, but why he has to spend so much time on commenting in all these threads??? so jobless huh? lol...

dont care if its true or not... having two property which he claim to be worth 1.2m and a 130k car and act like a billionaire giving lecture everywhere... ptui... he just came out from kampung i think...

definately he is cheating us as this is forum... no one knows who we are..... who knows one day someone will just claim that he is PM...

So funny to see so many new and unused accounts suddenly coming to life. Like i said on the previous thread, have the guts to use your usual nick and then we'll see how well u can measure up to my so called 'empty talk'. Or maybe u cant use that nick anymore after your last ban eh?

LOL!

I asked cuz u said after 4 yrs, its time to change. So i thought it must be cuz the car is in bad shape or something. BUt since its a Toyota, i think it should be quite ok rite?

sorry sir, i dun tok kok in forum to earn star....

only a psycho will always talk kok... pity u man...

Scratches, dents and nicks sure got la. But accident free and problem free all these years. Basic normal wear and tear stuff so the car is in as good condition as it can possibly be for a 4 year car

can new camry owners share the FC and how many KM the car can go on full tank?

here is your answer

FYI: perlis to kl about 400km / 60 = 0.15cent per KM

But those new cars are probably good resale value ones, which means Toyota etc. And what is a new car there is really not new at all. I'd take my 2002 Citroen over a new same segment Altis any day.

By not caring about the resale value I can get a car that I will like in the first place. Granted I have to drive it longer, but since I like it I do not mind.

Also if you are rich enough to throw away 60k or so within 3 years, then why not top up a bit and get something really good? That you won't want to sell?

Example: You can go for a Galaxy S3 or something like that, and keep it for 3 years. Or you can buy a cheapo Android every year. Galaxy Mini or so. You will have a great phone, for all the 3 years, even when it is old the screen is great and the performance should be ok, or you will have a new but slow device all the time, with a bad screen etc. Even in 3 years the latest cheap Android will be rubbish. But you will have spent the same amount as the one who got the right device in the first place.

What is the point of new if new is crap? I'd rather have something that is old and good.

Renault is also sharing engines with Proton, if you drive a Kangoo it should be possible to drop in either the Savvy engine or the Waja 1.8X engine (which makes it go fast Handling wise it can easily do 170+, just the darn engine can't do it).

If your car is in good condition, what's the point in selling it? Unless the car you want is a big improvement. For a Passat or Mondeo, yes, I can see that. Camry... not so much.

Its 500km from KL to Perlis generally la not 400.

very true. actually depend individual needs.

ops sorry. then is

RM 60 / 500km = RM 0.12/km
