half a million KM on the clock...i dn't think anybodys gonna buy it even if he wants to sell it

looking to put 10k downpayment

Okay lah, still sounds more or less reasonable. I doubt the new Vios would differ much since the engine and tranny is basically the same as the old Vios. They even use the same 1NZ-FE engine in the latest Japanese Corolla Axio that was just released in Japan this year

IIRC, Your service should only cost about RM150+ for mineral oil and nearly RM300 if it's Synthetic. When I had my Vios, I only did the servicing once every 10k which means I would go into the service center like twice a year.

The 2nd year major service should cost around RM1.2k at best if include air cond service and brake pads replacement. Tyres around Rm160 ~ Rm200 per piece. Total also: RM640 ~ RM800 along with additional balancing and alignment if you replace all 4 tyres.

So tyres should cost you about RM3200 alone if you change every 2 years
Servicing (non-major): (RM300* 2 times per year * 4 years)+(RM300 x 1 time every major service year x 4 years): RM3600
Servicing (major + brake pad replacement + aircond): RM1200 x 4years: Rm4800
Battery Replacement (probably every 3 years): RM170 x 2 = RM340

if your petrol claimable then FC not a big problem i guess.

if not , go for hybrid.

Prices calculated ±RM200 range of your Installment of RM1000 per month.

I'm only calculating based on non national C segment class of cars only. Not 100% accurate but should be good enough.

u mz be mad

ya i am

Mazda 3 or Peugeot If you are willing to top up another rm15k

just keep it. dont think modern car can do that. especially with all those fancy gearbox.

Polo sedan is technically outdated, though still a decent car. City is outdated. Focus is modern, yes. But the Fiesta is more modern than the Polo sedan (especially the Fiesta sedan is) and the City. Even if those were released later.

Another good choice would be the Toyota Prius C.

@cybermaster: From what my dad told me (and if I recall correctly) he used to do maybe 1 million km on a car before he'd get the next, though his car would need a new engine in between. That was in the 60s-70s IIRC. He used to drive Merc diesels. They lasted forever.

For 408, around 109k to 125k. Depand to cc.

does anyone know how much it is to add the navi pack to the honda city?

4 speed AT gearbox > All
no wonder japanese dumb it to 3rd world countries like maresia.. coz they know.. maresian will like n appreciate it.. Japan domestic they producing CVT for Daihatsu smal cars

If you still considering a car like me lets go bukit jalil this weekend;
