How do we check wether the new car is CKD or CBU?

Vios and City no need to check... confirmed CKD

for any other cars... just look at the price of the same model... CKD's usually a few thousand cheaper than CBU...

Vios assemble at ASSB @ Shah Alam
City @ Honda Melaka

been to ASSB to install electricals.

wat is CKD and CBU?

Since the Honda assembled in Melaka.. how come the new facelift model they said Thailand flood cannot have car till may or june???

CKD - Completely Knock Down means it comes in parts and are assembled locally

CBU - Completely Build Unit means imported fully assembled

CKD - Completely Knock Down means it comes in parts and are assembled locally
CBU - Completely Build Unit means imported fully assembled

Most likely the parts factory in TH flooded so local assemblers can't assemble it.

because it needs the parts to be supplied from Thailand factory.

Doesnt seems like a fool-proof method..They can just put higher price and then offer "discounts"..

Never knew that lolz

CKD - Completely Knock Down means it comes in parts and are assembled locally
CBU - Completely Build Unit means imported fully assembled

ooo~ now I get it...

since I cannot choose others adee..

Anyone have exprience? Vios or City build better? dun want to regret afterwards due to bad assembling quality.

all depends on LUCK

Luck not always with me... sienz!!!

then buy a confirmed CBU car

honda jazz hybrid - made in japan
Prius - made in japan

elantra - made in korea

Nice nice, too bad budget already hit the limit at 90k .... city need to fork out more $$$

To those that have bought CKD cars before, what does it state on your geran kereta?
Kereta tempatan or any other terms they use?

No, ELantra is CKD.

When you buy one, it comes with an INOKOM badge.

traditional way, tengok geran

at which section of the geran it write? mind to share?

before taking the car,, how to check neh???? they will not allow us to see the geran 1 rite?

take a look at the geran, at the part of "KEGUNAAN PEJABAT" there will be stated "PEMASANGAN TEMPATAN" if it is CKD.

thanks for the info. this helps alot.

Opps.. forgot that elantra is ckd but sell at cbu price...

you must go test out the jazz hybrid. its 94k only. very very good to drive.

Some Parts are made in Thailand. Unless you want your New city without a steering.

by the time u get the garant... its too late already, isnt it?

nope... VW Passat is only a 10k cheaper CKD in DRB-Hicom...
same with Mazda 3, Berjaya CKD only around 10k cheaper also...

motor industry is gahmen controlled... no dealer is dumb enough to sell CKD cars at CBU prices and name it CBU

Why don't you wait for the new proton? 72k max and performance wise as good as Civic, if they get the build quality right this time, Vios/City is no fight.

P.S. the new city/vios build quality not that good either. the interior door kinda plastic feel.

CBU - Mazda 2 / Fiesta ^.^ around your budget Lolz

If buying used car, to check Wheather CBU or CKD at Grant, they will usually state import Baru bottom left hand side

Already getting thru all 3 proton in my life.. no more proton for me. sorry to say taht.. all 3 P cars give me very vey bad impression....

i'm going for a more reliable car.... so i can keep it for longer time. VIOS for reliablity right????

Reliability 75% depend on how you maintain your car if you are a terrible driver here rev there rev bump also rev.. LoL what car also become a problem in long term

If you are talking bout parts reliability then Toyota is doing well I guess

looking for sedan, have lots of bags.. badminton, camera, travel bags... Me travel alot. alor star, kulim, penang.

ford pesta seems good... reliable??

get hilux.. for maximum reliability

some say 10 april, some say 16 april

actually which car less than 100k don't have plastic feel?

We are comparing price vs performance. I DID mentioned about the build quality no? Read back my post.

Don't overhype with what H/T is, U never been into the local plant, they are no difference between them and Proton, especially foe Vios and City that was build to fight the SEAsia market.

unless you are going back to the CBU talk.

IMHO Proton is catching up.

IMHO The 2005/06 City with vvti iDSi engine interior build is far better than the current gen. Now knock knock also can hear drum-like sound.

Nissan X Gear...

test drive adee... Rm82,800 ... very bump at the back somehow... 5 seater MPV. good car. good power. read drum brake tho .

overall is good. but bumpy at the back.. also the seat at the back is flat and abit too vertical.. like 90 degree.... lol~ not to my liking..

u buy vios or city also rear drum brake, unless you richfag buy top of the line version which comes with tiny mini rear dis brek.

first gen proton saga, door also not plastic, soft touch

new city only have rear discs, last time IDSI have drums
dugong J/E have rear drums, G/S have rear discs

Added on April 4, 2012, 3:25 pmcome to think of it... my dad's 13 year old Wira also soft touch

i mean now one lar, all also using plastics unless you buy above 150k, any touch also can...

tested x gear as well. its good but boring. stingy on the interior too.

then no more high quality.. new City??? what about engine part? assemble in malaysia also? or import engine whole unit?

AFAIK, honda/toyota malaysia don't manufacture engines... it's either from thailand or indon

aiyar... just get the Prius C or Jazz hybrid lar, confirm CBU Japan

I wish i have the money for these.... anyway, since no more choice can make. will just go test drive kaw kaw this 2 car... and hope that luck is with me this time

just 7-8k more only mar, i wished i didn't buy so soon, then can buy these hybrids already

seriously... whats your budget?

if u have the money for city/vios, i suggest you take a look at jazz hybrid.

waiting queue would be long though

possible lesser then 90k budget... dun want to have big problem with the hybrid battery... just want old faithful car. lol~ hoping the city/vios/fiesta/forte can work 9 years. no problem.. of course with proper maintenance.

same situation here. I am also shopping for a under 90k car.

what caught my eye now is actually pickups. Mitsubishi triton to be exact.
rugged, easy to drive, easy to bully , and its only rm6xk
9 years should be no problem.

if foreign sedan, i would go for toyota J spec. cheapest with least amount of thing to play with.
for local sedan, really should wait for the p3

triton with PLUS tol price same as car?? or like lorry price?

maintenance wise good?

i know penang bridge tol is different price.. T_T

This post has been edited by popopi: Apr 4 2012, 04:40 PM

plus shoudl be the same
http://plus.com.my/index.php?id=vehicle_classes

penang bridge is a bit tricky. its not a lorry or van.
perhaps categorized under stationwagon. my penang friend has no issue though.
but my KL colleague got flagged and ask to pay for the van rate.
http://penangbridge.com.my/bridgefare.php

maintenance wise, no different from sedan cars.

found out from my fren,

Quote directly from him,
"(Road tax)almost RM900. One biji tayar around RM500 - RM800 depending on your capability. Engine oil need two bottle. Got more different oils compared to your normal car. Major service can cost thousands and thousands. Normal service approx RM200++"

T_T!!! OMG
