If I were to buy a year 2003 Waja,is it ok if I get an Auto one which I hope to last at least for another 6 more years without much major repairs?

Or is it safer to get a Manual instead of Auto but if possible Auto is much preferable.Of course I would prefer Auto compared to Manual.

Hopefully I do not need to change a new gearbox by then which had happened to my old Iswara when it was 9 yrs old.

Btw,where is the most trustable place to purchase 2ndhand vehicles?
Roughly it would be around RM33k for a 2ndhand Waja Auto if I'm not mistaken.

Yeap.. Getting the 1.6 one.
Will go and see the cars soon and see which is better.
The manual one gives more power and umph.. while the Auto one = less work.. Haha

How much roughly does it cost to fix one of those?
Or is it safer to just get a Manual one?

Wow.. That's a lot to fix one on a Waja.
If go without it,is it ok? There shouldn't be any problem with the gearbox right?

Don't mind me asking here.
Like to ask if I were to compare both Waja and Gen2,which consume less fuel and less maintenance since both are 1.6.

if not mistaken ..
gen2 is 100 kg lesser than waja .

So in another words it still consume less petrol compared to Waja.
What about in terms of maintenance?

maintainance , i think gen2 is better .
i got both car in my house now .
so far , i have sound proofed both car .
from the power window itself,  i already know gen2 can save u at least RM200 in 2 years time .
so far , the latest waja , i don't know .
i am based on my 5 years old waja VS 2 years old gen2 .

actually its almost the same.... give and take 20-30kg

now i am driving gen2 and previously a waja... i would say the gen2 chasis is better especially the suspension arms are more solid, so it has better handling... other than that the waja interior is much better,

Hmm.Thanks for the input.
Anyhow,I really can't make up my mind,thinking of getting either a 2004 or 2005 yr Gen2.
So between both of them,which is a better choice and easier to maintain?As I'm still a student.
