my friend who has no interest whatsoever on buying a new car. Still driving his old kancil...guess wat? He is way richer than me...

thinking of investing in properties and all many years before me

While I have managed to get one after much struggle.

Why malu drive old car? You should malu with Malaysia automotive industry got so much tax here and there that's why people cannot buy new car. Car is necessity and not luxury. The AP system screws everything up and it will take another 50 years to reduce the car price. Don't malu2.

kancil o iswara isnt very old le, i drive older car be4, 25years ++ one also gt, last time i own a toyota ee90, spray be4 and well taken k, also drive mah, ok for me, as long as not too old till like door wan fall down, as long as all function and air con is ok.

The only problem I see with old cars is that they lack all the safety features, and in general technology (especially in terms of safety) has advanced a lot. Though if I look at new ASEAN spec Japanese cars...

Still, I'd really love to own and drive a 1970 Dodge Challenger, and a Mini. And an old hearse. And a couple of other old cars. There's just something about these old cars... (not that they are cheap though...).

never shame with it.
you must proud own an old car.
because it still on the road.

agree. driving nice cars for everyday driving/jam is just a hassle

Old car (provided in good condition) works better than newer, modern cars.

Previously driving nissan sunny, then switched to Wira 1.3. Miss that feeling of driving the Sunny. And the wira has abit more problem than the sunny.

But women/girls will sometimes not appreciate or like to be seen, in a old junk.

My old junk is 18years old and am proud to drive it.

last 2 years, i bought a 10 years old kancil 660 manual at 5k...happy driving it, after 7 months, sold it for 5.6k.... not sure what to embarrassed about? My watch cost almost my car anyway..

I'm still using old kancil and almost 11 years old bike. Works perfectly.
Why malu?

Some girls prefer a man with thick pocket so they can shave it thin and then dump him.

as many said, why ashamed?!

i have friends pay 1k+ installment monthly and eat breads only most of the time... the feeling of no need to pay installment is so awesome... i can go fine dining anytime i want without those costly installments... much better...

rich ppl with old cars is like hidden gem... my colleague husband and wife each earn ~10k monthly each, but drive an old 15 years wira... that i respect...

Actually wira, saga 1st batch or kancil all not be shy.

The only I will laugh on the 30 yrs older car and never do the touch up painted with here & there dent with body rashing until become a hole.

But still can drive like sport car style
Once you looking the car an worries about flying wheel..

what to malu...unless the car is terribly bad, bang here there, never wash never fix, paint peel off etc..maybe bit else got a kancil o iswara ...oredi make so many biker envy la

This is call buruk

Thanks brother
Where you get it photo?
This is what I meantion also

i think JPJ have right summon the driver as endanger other drivers as the car safety issues...

Still can move

age of car isnt a factor. its the condition of car that matters.
A 20 year old car but well maintained would still earn my respects.
Compared to a 1 year old car but terribly maintained, scratches, dents, broken parts or even simply just dirty as hell, I would think the owner must be terrible as well.

it's a toyota ,man lol

hai car otai's, im planning to get a prelude yr 2000. old car with a bit of pride. any negative comment? asking for nasihat here.

people respect you for your knowledge and amount of cash in your bank...people think you're dumb for buying expensive liabilities..but most malaysians have little knowledge so they need to buy cars to show off since they don't really possess anything substantial anyway..
