Seriously though, thats y i sold my waja, i was sinking too much time and money just to keep it running properly. If you wanna get a anothe ride, better get a new one lest you end up spending even more money on it, again.

You tak takut same case like your BLM ah? summore so old the car, what about spare parts availability and price?

Wei need people to educate you about buying used car meh?

Seriously, if your "proper car" is a 15 year old Nissan....better keep your BLM.
*
the damn blm was also used dry.gif

like i said, some older cars are built to last, not modern cars these days.. 10 years?

tough luck.. see the civic from the 90s, they can yield 300k km or more with proper maintenance.. i doubt that the blm can even last 250k before something goes terribly wrong...

once bitten, twice shy. this overheating problem will lead to more problems in the future.. once i have enough savings, i'm saying goodbye to this car..

maybe thats why ppl shy away from proton..it all boils down to your luck. if u lucky, ur car would be relatively trouble free.. since i am not so lucky, if and when i change, how can i ensure that i wont be pushing my luck again? simple, by not choosing proton..sure u may argue that other brands have their lemons as well, but to me, enough is enough..

since you mentioned spare parts and availability, have u been to the numerous half cut shops scattered throughout kl? thats a lot of parts for jdm and continental cars.. at least the quality of their used parts are still better than our local quality spare parts.. dry.gif

I know some old Japanese cars can last very long, the trick is to find them. Even if you find one that has a decent working powertrain, you might need to spend a lot to restore the bodywork (hidden rusts and crap). Furthermore, even if initial impressions are promising, can you be 100% sure it will be problem free for another 50k km down the road? And if you get a 300k km mileage car, how much further are you going to drive it?

Look, if you have the cash to spare, by all means go ahead. Otherwise like you said, keep your BLM, save up for a new car (Proton or otherwise) and enjoy your warranty while you whack it.
*
if i had the money, i'll completely rebuild the car. strip the whole body and clean it up. overhaul the engine. replace with new parts.

new car with warranty? what becomes of that, when your hands become itchy and have some extra money to spend? rolleyes.gif

then what makes you think you wont be dumping money (probably more than the BLM) on your choice of the car too?
*
dumping money to get it back to tip top condition is most definate. but when well maintained, it will go on and on..besides, no matter how i mod the blm, its still a proton, still a base line model, still limited.

Hi Bros...

Appears like this thread is going down the "Negative" path....downhill...  sad.gif

Let's not paint such a disheartening picture of the Saga...juz becoz of a few lemons?
ALL cars makers produces lemons....rber Bro V12K post a few pages back? whistling.gif

Frankly, there are 2 real life owners of Saga BLMs 2009 who are very happy with their cars....only minor probs incl the common IAFM replacement... thumbup.gif

So let's NOT discourage present & prospective future owners of Sagas...let's look at the Daga's POSITIVE points, ok?  doh.gif

ps. Most Saga buyers truly kenot afford to buy those cars that cost so many times more than a Saga...AND the Saga was created for the common Msian... whistling.gif
*
i'm merely higlighting the facts. for that rm40-50k for a new saga, for me, getting a better used car seems more logical. proton is still a proton. no matter how hard they try, evidently, its still the same.

besides, zeone, u also mentioned that the new saga is a step back from the old saga, due to a few factors, need i remind u? rolleyes.gif
