nice video.

Have you checked with other car dealers?

oooo.... That sucks......

Advantages of buying a car in the latest year:
1. You get the latest car (not 1 which they keep in the warehouse or open field which has been abused by all sorts of animals and insects). Less things to worry about.
2. when selling, you have the advantage of a higher market price. Note, you may say it is not important, but once your car falls apart, a higher market value is better to offset your loan. No car lasts forever nowadays.
3. Discounts. A discount of RM 10k is equal to RM 100 installment per month for the next 7 years (give and take on interest rate). So don't fall for the RM 3k discount. coz it won't be much.

Better you do it early of the year.

Competition to sell cars are high at year end. So prices will drop. Other factors include people do not know the outlook of the future.

Early of the year, it will bounce back up abit. I have monitored a few car prices before. I thought the prices will drop further. But that is not the case.

Selling to private person is a bit of a hassle but you get additional RM ks for your disposal. Previously i sold my Savvy for RM 22k. Trade in value was RM 16k (back in 2010).

YOu can get rebate / discounts in 2014 for cars manufactured in 2013.

Check grant for new owner.

Since Myvi have high resale value, better new. PLUS u have warranty

manufacturing date.

Resale value / loans application will always be based on this.

Yes.

It will have the owner's name, number of owners, chassis number, plate number, engine number etc....

it is the first thing you check before you buy a car.

A car of RM 10k difference is about RM 100/ month (give and take depending on interest and loan period) in terms of instalments. RM 3k is about RM 30/month?

If you are not the car type of person, buy the full spec.

What is the purpose of the ride?

Soccer mom's car? Alza
Single person city car? Myvi
Using on highway? Non

U plan to pay in cash or take loan?

If you plan to pay in full, use bank draft. When he has made the transfer, then give him the cheque. You must have an agreement also to state when product, timing of payment, condition of payment (when transfer is succesful) etc....

If the guy wants his way (ie Cash), look for other cars.

Better be safe than sorry.

I have bought 3 used cars in my life. 2 loans and 1 by cash. in the 3rd case, when i gave the money, the person gave me the whole documents to do the transfer. This was with mutual agreement.
