I dun want to play Wira or Proton/Perdua anymore cause been driving it for the past 19years already........

Now I am looking to buy a E46 & keep my Wira as a spare car. Time to try Conti cause my frens told me "once you tried Conti, you wont look back" . I also fully understand that the maintenance of a Conti may triple the cost of a Wira, but I am well prepared already.............. And because of that I am buying it via Cash only & get ready spare cash monthly to upkeep it like paying monthly installments .................

Like zenix once told me, an upgrade from Wira > E46 is a "big upgrade" for me already, so now I am ready to take the plunge. Wish me good luck. Thanks

hehe price is good, go take a look, if decent cond, might be worth ur time..... this car is also looking quite stock and thats in many ways a good thing... its alot easier to look at stock cars compared to those modified ones....

Oh no,BMW is one of the brands of my favourite cars But it is quite expensive for BMW secondhand cars. ism1991 I still prefer Toyota over BMW because of its reliability.

2000 Merc CLK200 - if you like big coupes let me show you something, although there is a model with a 2300cc engine I think getting this model with the 2000cc engine is better since with two reasons the "K" in the name means it is a Kompressor model which in Mercedes terminology means it has got a supercharger with stock power output of about 130PS but since it is a supercharger some clever engine tuning can increase that by 5-25% without worry/modifications just use better engine and gear oils and the car won't fall apart especially the gearbox as it uses the 5AT from the V12 S-Class it can really handle the power. Iinm this 5AT gearbox would become common in all Merc models from 2000 onwards. Safety wise it has all the stuff that's beginning to be standard on Japanese cars nowadays -- Traction control, Stability control, Anti-lock braking system (ABS), Brake assist (BR), etc. For about the price of a high spec Perodua Axis new you can buy a 16 year old Merc that is safe, powerful, and prestigious. Maintenance isn't going to be cheap, that's a given, however if you compare Merc maintenance with BMW/Audi/VW's usually Merc's will be cheaper to maintain and some how specialist are more competent with Merc electronics than BMW's i dunno why.

2002 Merc C200 - about a few years back when my friend was also looking to upgrade from his Wira he bought this, at the time it cost him RM50k -- i don't remember what year make it was but do becareful as some sellers won't tell you it's actual age until you buy it and give you the car card -- do ask to see the car card before putting down a deposit. As you can see this seller is pretty open about it (manufactured 2002, registered 2006) also cars that took so long to be registered usually are grey imports so usually have better build quality/spec than the CKD units made locally. In terms of spec and kit it would be the same as the car above -- 2000cc supercharged engine, 5AT gearbox, TC, ESP, ABS, BR, etc. So if your flavor is sedan instead of coupe, this should be a good starting point.

BTW when you try supercharger/turbo you won't look at NA cars the same again.

this is a car i considered as well..... also quite a pretty looking car long as its unmodified. There are 2 or 3 around my place, one of the owners say its not ridiculously expensive to maintain, just slightly higher than mercs of the same era. He did mention that, some stuff does cost a bomb to repair, stuff which fail unexpectedly such as the compressor (dont ask how this failed), chairs and some of the electronics (x ingat which one he mentioned).... justs dont expect it to perform like a sports car, this is a cruiser to drive leisurely in

hi!
