1. Brand: No Proton.
2. Budget: 25-30k
3. New/Used/Unreg: Used
4. Specs: No preference
5. Transmission: Auto
6. NA or FI: No preference 
7. Type: No preference
8. Remarks: Planning to buy with cash, don't wanna pay installment + interest. Don't want something too small like Axia/Kancil/Kelisa. Seems like some Korean used car (Hyundai/Kia) is very cheap but wonder why that's the case. Maintenance & FC very high? First time buying a car so I don't want something that gives me a lot of problems...

how about hyundai i10.

size wise viva < i10 < myvi
but 4star NCAP airbags all inside.. safety wise this is the best among all 3..
handling also better
Kappa engine 1.25cc good pick up
FC a bit on hi side, can get 10L/km
maintenance also abit hi..

2010 onwards can get 20 -25k thats like 50% of the new price.
is that cheap? but memang korean car low RV because less popular

ok or not? never sit on one though..

hi its me again..

im thinking to buy a car, cash around 7k..

fr what ive researched i can get 15yrs wira
summore ive used a wira for a few yrs before.. but for a car that old, is there any limitation to it i should consider?

planning to use it for few yrs before upgrade to better car..

i understand i will need some maintenance i should always keep 1k cash in hand to replace whatever there is to be replaced.

is this wise or i should get better car with bank loan..

lol sound like dying car sweat.gif

7k+ is so cheap price if it's running great, can do after market cosmetic anyway.

can let me know where u bought it? maybe pm me if sensitive  brows.gif

About the price also in any online market

Bought it from tct automotive sri kembangan. U can find a thread people complaining about it. Mine included doh.gif

My friends see the car they said OK LA, in fact they are the one influencing me making this decision. Just do sufficient preventive maintenance OK dy. But no gaya LA, haha biggrin.gif

Hopefully we will be together for long time wub.gif
