haha good 1
i was told "the steering oil should be quite dirty around 30k km"

no wonder, is you who offer the change hehe
good also, if got $$ can change early

2.0.. But if the used forte 2.0 condition is nice I can save up to 20k..

True, but u will miss out the full 5 year warranty.. Plus the used car interest rate will be higher

Need to confirm if the car is 5 years Kia warranty or 2+3. Need to call to confirm.

Save 20k for a 1 year old car is a no brainer dude. Chances that the car might be a lemon unit, that is a risk though.

But you can minimize the risk by bringing a kia specialist mechanic to inspect the car. Shouldnt cost more than a few hundred to get the car inspected properly.

Also there is 5 years warranty

But why is the buyer selling a 1 year used car? problem with the car? or got a new car?

There are risks. If i were you, if you can afford, go for the new unit.

But I thought that all new model 2012 n above, are 5 year warranty

He told me the car didn't use much.. Mileage at 38k.: just did major service at 30k.. still got warranty.. Under this condition, are there any possible problem?

Under this circumstances is it possible if we go sc and ask whether this car got any warranty claim...problems reported....etc..

Sc should have all the records rite??

Cant judge by the millage alone, u should bring in kia specialist to check the car before u get the deal done for your satisfaction.


Accident free?

I think this could be done.... and check the service book for remarks.

It better to go direct and check or call KIA to check for any warranty claims made for the car before this.

If...the sc is so free to layan u....

LOL gotta try maa....spending 75k on a car obvously u wan it to be in good condition.

To save all the hassle get a brand new forte

millage at 38k but juz did 30k service? sound not right leh

Can I just get number plate and check with kia sc whether has this car reported any problem or accident?

As seller claimed he never had any problem and full service to kia.

If the car is in good condition as the seller said, these hassles can save me 20k I believe it worth so.

does matter 1.6 or 2.0. Still 20-25K cheaper than Cerato !

Forte is a good car and value for money.

Normally a 2nd hand car price is not inclusive of insurance, road tax and registration fee. Other then those items a buyer will also have to pay for inspection fee for the transfer of ownership. Buyer will have to add it up to get the actual price he/she will paying.
As for new car the price normally is an "on the road price" which is inclusive of all the above. To make sure do confirm with the SA before buying.

Whether it is worth buying a new or a 2nd hand you'll have to take those things into consideration.
