If you planning to buy year 2010 car,he suppose to have all those service record,if he don't have,ask him go to service center and print all of them 2. Budget : Below 30k otr 3. New/Used/Unreg : used 4. Specs : power steering 5. Transmission : auto 6. NA or FI : NA 7. Year : 2010 and above 8. Usage: Weekend outing driving + daily work. hi guys, i'm interested to buy used viva elite auto. just wondering...whether i should buy now or wait until early of next year btw...i did some survey on the price through website.... if the price mention let say 29k.... is that all that i need to pay(buy n drive)? or will there be any other extra cost to be incurr i.e insurance, road tax, etc? i did read the website on tips to buy used car one of the point is to bring mechanic/expert to the used car shop as to view/check the car..... the thing is that i don't have family/friends that has those expertise... what is the best assistance for me to ensure the used car is on reasonable(healthy) condition?  ~ a normal viva is come with 3 years warranty and if he have extended warranty then will be 3 + 3. |

QUOTE(paperclip @ Nov 1 2012, 02:43 AM) Congrats bro.... thanx for ur advise....I still can tolerate with engine n outside noice, but the sound came from the roof in heavy rain really annoying....Its even worst compare to a kancil...Planned to DIY a soundproof sheet inside dat roof... Added on November 1, 2012, 3:18 am 29k i just for the car... U might need to add more $$$ for Insurance, Roadtax, JPJ ownership transfer fees, puspakom (ownership transfer inspection), + some $$$ for runner to do it.... But of cos, used car agent will not said about runner, instead they will calc a sum of money and said "OK, on the road u add RM $$$$"...... But all of this depend on your negotiation skill bro... Anyway, personally i'm prefer to buy a used car direct from seller/owner, cos i can test drive the car, used car shop normally not allow u to drive the car unless you pay deposit.... Based on my experience befriend wif a guys in this industry, I personally not trusting a used car shop, becos nowaday they are really good in refurbishing a used car. They dismantle all seats, carpets and clean up all dirts... They wash the engine with chemicals and spray a wax to make the engine look very clean...Even worst they also send the car for a layer of paint...After a week or a month, then u will see the paint start to faded, oil leaking everywhere etc2....Its too good to be true...Anyway, everything depend on ur luck...  Take your time bro, go any used car shop, try to find viva direct from owner, survey for a best deal, make a comparison, close deal only when u satisfied wif the price and car condition.... quite hard to find direct owner....... when i google around.....more used car advertisement appear.....

Im also think there is a need to install an additional gauge. But the most important is water temp gauge since viva doesnt have it. Now im thinking about NRG or Shadow water temp gauge. Never buy any cheaper then this 2 brands, not accurate n easy to broke.... Water Temp gauge... ok... will keep an eye on that. NRG and Shadow brand.

Hello anyone...Did u know about Firestorm Ignition Coil Booster?It is Works on all vehicles which run on petrol. FireStorm Ignition Coil Booster can be fitted in both automobiles and motorbikes.
Easily plugs into the fuse socket for most cars without cutting any wires or cable harness for most cars. Upgrade the power of your Ignition Coil with this add-on device and feel an immediate power improvement during acceleration. The 5x stronger spark promotes complete combustion of the air-fuel mixture resulting in extra power squeezed out from the same amount of fuel burnt. Unburnt petrol smell is also eliminated, even on vehicles without a catalytic converter. Saves fuel with lesser kickdowns and gear changes which cause higher engine RPM and wastes more fuel. Automatic transmission gear shifting is faster and smoother due to the power increase thoughout the entire RPM band. Shifting quicker into higher gears results in lower RPM, which in turn, saves more fuel. Climbs hills with lesser effort on the accelerator pedal. Details u can check here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5PKM3Eo737E&feature=youtu.be Price?I will try to get bulk price...More ppl want to buy...Of course more cheaper....Pm me for best price thx...

Hey there Viva owners. A couple of days back my car got caught in a flood while I was away shopping. Fortunately it wasn't deep enough to get to the engine but the carpet is soaked. So, I was wondering if you guys know of any shop that can change the whole carpet at an affordable price. Nothing special. The stock carpet would do. I live in Sunway by the way... Thanks so much in advance!!!

LordAmery,
You could try ctc jesse, he bring alot of L250/260 mira halfcut (japan viva), maybe he got the carpet... I think 2nd hand would be much cheaper compare to making a custom viva floor carpet... www.flickr.com/photos/jesse_ville |

Saw someone selling insulflex, half roll of 10mm thickness is rm170, its 4ft(W) X 15ft(L), So las nite i roughly measure a viva roof, width 40inch (3ft 4inch), and long 54inch (4ft 6inch).... So if i buy half roll of 10mm insulflex, its sufficient for 3 viva's roof...Means it just cost u RM57 + some effort for DIYing.... Added on November 8, 2012, 10:29 amHye there, currently im looking for Dynamat xtreme bulk pack....Havent found anyone sell it in msia. Check the price at amazon.com for usd199, and its 36square feet in size. So yesterday survey at local acc shop sell no brand one for rm600 per box of 9square feet inc installation.... Very expensive.... This post has been edited by paperclip: Nov 8 2012, 10:29 AM |

My Viva left passenger outside door handle doesn't snap back down once pulled up to open the door. It's stuck right up unless forcefully pushed back down again.
Think it's going to be cheap to fix? |

Hm... recently my Viva started making some "woo woo" sound when I brake, especially when I brake on speed bumps as the tyres go over them.
The "woo woo" sound is deep and low. It doesn't happen all the time. It's intermittent. What kind of problem do you think this is? This post has been edited by Aurora Boreali: Nov 26 2012, 12:06 AM |
