you're welcomed!

updated some stuff for my blog post of your question
http://cartcss.blogspot.com/2015/02/compac...is-new-and.html
Naza Ria and Naza Citra both would be in your price range and year range.
They're both MPV, Ria is based on a van chassis and is bigger.
Citra I feel has better equipment levels.
But both are quite notorious for bad fuel consumption.
It is a good car for the price.
Yes, it isn't as spacious as C-segment cars in 2015, isn't as fuel saving/environmentally friendly as cars today, etc.
But when it comes down to it.....for that price and you're in a pinch I think it is a whole lot better than considering Toyota SEG/Honda Civic from the 90's.
You're welcome!
After writting something so long I thought I just post it in my blog anyway as this question do come up quite often.

i've never bought any car from either TM or MUV, however they seem sincere about giving you better quality used cars.

they put it B&W everywhere got what limited and criteria of cars they accept to trade-in and sell. so maybe with that kind of guarantee you can say they'll be better than outside dealers that accept anything and of course dunno if they lie to you or not, if they do got no B&W to backup. besides nissan and toyota are behind these two so should be decent.

though i think the best is to go and survey their stockyard now and then, make friends with the SA, if they're friendly and helpful enough they'll point you to the best deals as all cars there are not equal eventhough they may look equal at first glance there are other things to take account for other than just a clean tidy exterior and interior like service manual to indicate it has been serviced regularly and on time, any accident case, the mileage, flood case, etc.

the typical SA will of course try to clear his stockyard asap no matter what, but if you able to tenderize his heart he'll probably intro you the fresh stock which usually is better than something sitting there for 3 months nobody wanna buy 

Anyone knows what cars attract black market car robbers? I want to get a nice 2nd hand high-middle class sedan/4wd but those that have no or low value in black market.

Need to get some advice for a friend here, who's working as a government servant with 4k salary per month

1. Brand : Perodua Viva
2. Budget : 20k
3. New/Used/Unreg : Used
4. Specs : Any
5. Transmission : AT
6. NA or FI : NA
7. Type :
8. Remarks : got a quote of RM20k for 2008 Viva with 43k mileage.
So should my friend pay cash or get bank loan? He damn sked to kena income tax

many thanks

thanks for the sharing Zenix. also I am wondering - when searching through the internet (eg. carlist, oto), seller always state "100% Accident Free - Guarantee". but how can seller guarantee the used car was never involved in accident beside checking the insurance claim record? that is possible that the car might involved in accident & owner fork out own money to fix it
