You can still buy pre-facelift version, provided if the car has sent for Plotong recall to make that spindle stronger. If not, make sure you press the selling price kao kao to squeeze out around RM1000 to replace spindle, brake hub, bearings. Usually price difference between facelift and pre is around 2000. If you offset the different of year make, the difference is only about 1000. For me, buying the older version of Shawie will be better because I get a big discount, I can repair the car by myself with that discounted price. Atleast I know what has been repaired and certainly not worry about the mind f***ed depreciation of Shawie. Believe me if you buy a 2nd hand 2008 Shawie at price of RM10k, your insurance company will force you to insured RM15k When you crash your car, then the insurance company say OH NO, I cant pay you full 15k because the current market value is only 8k

FYI, NOX is selling his pre-facelift shawie for a reasonable price. It's the pre-facelift model, but I believe it's a safe buy because you'll know what kinda repair expected.
