Can't really go wrong with Nissan Sentra or Toyota Corolla even at this age.
Stay away from Proton/Perodua unless you really have to because although they're cheap to repair/replace parts, the parts used don't always last very long especially when you ask for cheap ones which are some low quality knock offs.
Stay clear from older Koreans they're not fuel economic and parts do cost quite abit.

serena uses the tried and true SR20DE engine which is the non-turbo version of the SR20DET.
you won't find any issues getting parts for this engine even today.
it is powerful and economical.

This is the latest model which is also within your budget, increase the budget higher and you can get the same model but at a younger year of make. Estima starting model is 2400cc but has a 3000cc variant, if you can afford the roadtax then go for the 3000cc model if not the 2400cc is quite good. One power door is standard for basic models but higher spec you get 2 power doors and 1 power boot.

generally among 1500cc cars the city and vios are the cheapest duo to maintain.
can't really go wrong with either nissan/toyota/honda models in terms of cheapness to maintain.

Below 80k is really crappy B-segment cars which will just be a nightmare to own.
You'll start off by thinking you made a great financial move by getting a cheaper car and just use to go from A-B, but soon realize you made a mistake as it doesn't fit your requirements in terms of space, performance, looks, etc. then dream of changing cars in a few years time.......don't waste time.

If you can afford it get the honda city (not the most basic spec) you should be fine for quite sometime.
That will be somewhere in the middle of 80k.

there are better cars for the price.

Which are the better car?
Can let me know, then I will survey about it.
TThanks zenix, please advise

whats your criteria and budget?

Wah TQ

I will stick with 2006 model and above
because of the look


Our concern is downpayment.....

since monthly we can only afford RM1200 too RM1400**

the higher than 120k it go... the higher downpayment rite**


P/s will check ur suggestion and take a look...

1. Brand : Any
2. Budget : 50k
3. Used
4. Transmission : Auto
5. Type : sedan

1200-1400 per month is about 60-70k loan, u got 50k for deposit?

something like this will be cheaper to own and maintain

wow that is nice.
but i look for sedan type.
that one i quite like

latio sedan around the same price.
the hatch looks better with bodykit.
but the sedan got 1800cc engine.

1. Brand : Any
2. Budget : Below 60k
3. New/Used/Unreg : New or used
4. Specs : Any
5. Transmission : prefer Auto
6. NA or FI : any
7. Type : >6 seater MPV
8. Remarks : Want to get a MPV for grandpa, preferably 7 seaters so that can fit everyone if theres a vacation trip. Dont want an Innova or Exora coz too big, was thinking of the used Grand Livina, or a safe choice is a Perodua Alza, is there any other choices?

Hai guys

Currently i own a Wira 1999 1.5A bought from a friend last year september

Recently the car giving me alot of headache and futher inspection the car will ok only if overhaul which will cost me around rm2000-rm2500

Im thinking of changing engine or just change car since i also dilemma dont know what car to take and i always travel around CITY , rarely outstation..

So need some suggestion should i maintain the car?

My budjet for next car is around 70k-90k , prefer new but used i dont really dare as alot of them tell me used car usually will give major headache , correct me if im wrong

1200 1400 permonth
with 3.8% rate 7 @ 9 year is about


7year 1200 ~~ 88k
9year 1200 ~~ 109k


so izzit my calculation rite?

if you're buying recond u can use new car interest rates.
it is nowadays anywhere between 2.5-2.9%

so lets say you're buying this car.

then this would be a more accurate calculation.

please remember that the price stated is for the car only.
try and see if you can get discounts or freebies.
because if not included in the price you need to fork out additional money for insurance, roadtax and car number plate (jpj registration), and jpj inspection.

TQ TQ,
3.8% is worse case senario (actually for USED car)

if 2.5-2.9% the Total Value Loan is more bigger rite ~~ more than 100K


NOted
:
because if not included in the price you need to fork out additional money for insurance, roadtax and car number plate (jpj registration), and jpj inspection.
Worse Case scenario this part is ~~ RM5K rite

P/s The Loan YEAR u put is 3......................
i put 7@ 9 hehehhee.. No wonder 1200 to 1400 montly r so small... TQ again for explanation
