Basically..... Know the car you want well.... Newer cars easy, old modified cars then it becomes complex.... Here in Malaysia, you can't really get a 'report'. There are ways of trying to get info like this but most of the time its not with the effort.... Easier to view the car and , have it checked out properly

Ya, i understand the situation as I also looking for 2ns hand car in JB. That is ridiculous. Somemore, they are selling KL car in JB with JB price. (normally KL car selling at KL with 5-10K lower than price in JB)

Btw, what car are you looking for? we can exchange experience.

I think you misunderstand already. He is saying that the car price in KL is 5-10k cheaper than the same car selling in JB.

I have been looking 2nd hand car in JB for about 3 months (of course weekend only). And I found almost 100% that the car you saw in Mudah.com is available in the shop and I am able to see it. But the price is way too high!

Dont know how to buy...

Anyone here have access to VIN Membership for "rent" ? I need chk a VIN but not a member yet and dun want to pay the full rm84.42 just to chk one VIN. I wont mind to pay rm20 to anyone who can help me chk one VIN , thanks

i was surveying nissan latio hatchback which would be around 33k-39k in kl however in jb the price listed on mudah is around 42k-48k... that makes me wonder, are those in kl a fraud? or jb people just taking advantage? hahaha very confused rn.

dont think so that is the case. if there is an arbitrage profit, used car seller will take advantage until there is no difference in pricing.

bank lelong car maybe is slightly cheaper

How do we know the car is lelong car or not?

difficult to tell. normally lelong car do not have user manual and service booklet.

nope.
they'll always work according to what gives them better profit for themselves as long as the customer (you) don't complain.

2016 Mitsubishi Mirage - have you ever thought of considering a mirage (new car), for an A-segment car it has pretty good safety features, cheap to run with a fuel saving engine (although it can feel underpowered when on full load but since she is driving alone mostly this isn't a problem), also another plus for lady driver's is the EPS (electric power steering) which makes the steering light and easier to drive than conventional hydraulic ones, talking about easier to drive it is a small and nimble car and easier to park for women. I think the only downside is you can get a really powerful monster in the used car market for 60k but would have to content for a mini mouse when you're buying new.

2014 VW Polo Sedan 1.6 & 2014 VW Polo Hatch 1.6 - both the sedan and hatch are available with the basic 1600cc engine and 6AT gearbox now, avoiding the TSI engine & DSG gearbox. I don't know if it is a good move by VW because it doesn't seem to be flying off the shelves like they were previously I guess their reputation has really taken a hit after DSG gearbox, TSI engine and emissions scandals. However, there are still a good number of Polo's with the 1600cc engine on our roads so that means parts supply for this model is still pretty decent. These cars were initially intended to be sold at 90-100k but now these old stocks are being cleared at around 55-65k. A huge discount. The engine and gearbox combo is decent, it is not powerful like the TSI&DSG combo but powerful enough plus they're more reliable and cheaper to maintain. Also safety & size wise it is a notch above the Mirage because they're B-segments.

If you're already a car owner and have been servicing your car at outside workshops instead of SC/3S do have a chat with your mechanic on the car you want to buy, tell him the maintenance budget you're willing to spend (e.g. rm200 per interval) then he will tell you honestly you're in dreamland or meresiah.

demand and volume is klang valley region is higher so they can make do with less margin with more volume.

Budget : under 60k
New/Used/Unreg: doesnt matter (not too old)
Transmission : Auto
Spec : higher better
Type : Sedan/hatchback
Remarks : fresh grad, klang to kl, first car, not so high maintenance

Iriz? used Polo sedan? Rio?Swift?
no idea man. first timer
thank sifus in advance

iriz premium mt is also quite good too.iriz mt is way better than saga flx mt. get iriz 1.6 premium mt.

If I were you, go for Polo Sedan but then again its a bigger version of the Saga now........

Polo Hatchback if you are young & vibrant .

Its a good buy at 60k now, demo car ok too

haha no problematic dsg but..... fresh grad + euro car not exactly a recipe for great success

totally agreed, esp new car owner, but if filthy rich, who cares

i disgree that polo sedan is worth to buy . Between Iriz 1.6 premium mt is way cheaper than polo sedan because it is a new car. RM59,880.00 / Metallic
RM59,430.00 / Solid. iriz 1.6 premium is still a new car. It drives well, it has nicely specs,most safety feature including esc and 6 airbags on this particular model. It is very easy to recommend over perodua myvi. Get Mt because it is not as noisy and sluggish as CVT. And you can get rebate too.Ism1991 and digilife, ask him to get iriz mt.Enough is enough. I win .

that means i should go to klang valley to buy used car or i should try bargain harder in jb?

Hi, I am a potential buyer in JB area.
Will make a decision regarding which car to buy soon.
But I will not go other states to buy a car in order to save some difference.

For me, the car definitely depreciates yearly.
A new car will have very high depreciation in first 3 years.

So while getting a second-hand car, I will focus on.
1. Lower depreciation onwards (Acceptable overall price if compare with JB market)
2. Less trouble car since I don't ever know what happens to that car in past few years.
So I will try to deal in the area which I am familiar in case if anything happens can be easier to communicate.

If you really want to go Klang trade a 2nd hand car, please ensure that car really exists and fulfill your requirement. Else travel to Klang will cost few hundreds of bucks per round trip.
If spend several visits, might cost even higher than what you saved.
Also, I will consider my salary per time for travel to Klang.

That's what I am thinking for your reference.

Hope you get a nice car soon.

1. Brand = japan car
2. Budget = below 70k
3. New
5. Auto
6. None
7. Sedan n subcompact

sobs the cars i likes were actually cheaper outside kl..... sob sob ahh well

Hi Zenix,

I was looking for used SUV, such as 2003-2006 Ford Escape, Honda CRV and Nissan X-Trail, just noted the Subaru XV is selling at attractive price, what do you think about the Subaru XV?

Thanks in advance!

Attached thumbnail(s)

u should call up and check if those Xv's are still available.....

top tip, unless you for some reason just want to own a ford escape in particular, i would suggest you skip that car.
