Nowadays, repairing/maintenace cost could be higher than the price of a car. And some lousy workshop might cause other damages while they are taking out parts for service.

I do agree that saga/iswara 1.3 manual is simple car to maintain, but need to get a good condition one/newest possible (no kereta potong, drive shaft no klok klok noise, engine smooth no gasket oil leak and how bad it consumes the lubricant oil, ori body paint without bubble, check for crash marks on chasis, aircond compressor working... gas leak hard to check).
