Can i assume that "authentic" low mileage is one of the selling point?? biggrin.gif

hmm.gif I suppose, after all low mileage probably means less wear and tear, unless the owner doesn't drive much but when he/she does, hentam the car cool2.gif.

Haha..thanks for your advice. will go to see the car condition first .
but just curious is that normal for 2011/12 Persona H line ranging from 33k-36k? is that the market price?
*
hmm.gif That, I'm not sure. Before the SV was released, used H-line Elegance Personas were sold from RM34,000 to about RM40,000. After the SV was released, the prices went down since the SV is on paper almost as well spec'd as a H-Line Elegance. How much did it reduce, I'm not sure. Maybe car listing sites like oto.my will give you an idea of how much people are asking for a H-Line Persona Elegance these days. Note the mileage for those cars, and adjust your offer for the "low-mileage" Persona Elegance you found accordingly.

guys, just a question. i plan to go cameron highland this week with 1st gen persona, auto 1.6. just wondering anyone done it before? i scare not enough power to drive up as my friend's 1.5 myvi is struggling when climbing up genting highland
*
I did it a few weeks back out of boredom. The only time when you're really going to have to rev the car hard (i.e over 4000RPM) is when you're close to the top, otherwise the car should have adequate power to get up.

Edit: That's also assuming that you keep your car in a good condition mechanical wise, e.g no extended engine oil usage, performed throttle body cleaning, and et cetera.

Edit2: Sorry, I thought you were talking about Genting Highlands with a Persona. For Cameron Highland, my last memory of the journey up there is that it's not that bad. The route's gradient is about the same as Genting, or not as bad as far as I remember.

P/S: I used to go up there yearly or so as my relatives live there, but in a Nissan Serena C24, with about 5 people on average and luggage.

Thank you cavino for the info. By the way, about the FC, i'm using Putra with Gsr engine, and it consumes less petrol than my persona do. Thats why I'm wondering. I press on the gas pedal, and there is no pick up at all. So, have to press a little more to selit in when jam time, it consumes more petrol. I was thinking of changing the engine one shot.. I'm a traveler too, so its not comfortable to travel long journey in Myvi or Viva. I guess Persona is just fine. Any more suggestions??

Get the car supercharged / turbocharged? smile.gif Honestly the time when I felt a need to limit the car to gear 2 or lower is when I reached close to the top of Genting. Before that it was pretty OK. Try turning off the air-cond if you haven't done it. That takes a lot of power from the car.

So far I have only seen about 4 Kizashis in my life. One Sports version at Kelantan, one sports version at the LDP tunnel near Tropicana City Mall, one test drive unit, one everyday that is getting more and more scratches grumble.gif grumble.gif grumble.gif The owner couldn't wait for me to wash his car, so he ended up washing it himself with the PVA cloth I use to dry the car doh.gif. Wasted my 9 hours work a few months back on the car.

Better than the average hand detailing, probably. As good as other machine detailers, no. Not remotely close I bet. My tool is too small, and a little basic. cry.gif , which is the main reason I can take very long.

Do you still plan to change the radiator to dual fan? Got 2nd hand unit going at 3xx.

No plans any time soon because of budget n because of the possibility of incompatibility. 😐😐😐

edit: I'm thinking of going for an oil change soon though, but I haven't decided if I want the local version of your powder additive or the extreme powder. 😐

after 5 years,i think my engine start to feel sluggish despite regular maintenance and i am not into snake oil.

Anyway just find out we can reset the throttle body controller in our Campro.so decided to reset it and put the new Techron Concentrate Plus as i read lots of good review about it.Since its from Caltex/Chevron itself,i am much more confident than other brands.So far so good. brows.gif

If you wanna be pragmatic about buying a car notwithstanding all those hoohah with protectionism, Proton is still bang for buck. Rattling is cheaper to fix than DSG kong, and you get full safety kit. Even now new Vios owners are complaining about the poor built quality.

hey guys, when need to change power steering oil? it's not stated in the service timetable. just back from sc, the mechanic told me that the power steering oil had started to become dark color, ori is in red
*
Supposedly every 20,000KM or so. I would suggest getting a good Dexron III ATF like the Petro Canada D3M ATF. You'll need about 1L or so to fill up the entire power steering tank, and over 2Ls to flush.

My power steering already gives whirling noise way before 40K. After change power steering fluid, recovered, no noise.

At 60k service, the fluid become dark again, so change again (very slight occasional whirling noise start appearing beforehand, so agree with the observation).
*
Go get the Petro Canada D3M. Up to 100,000KM life, and it's only RM30 or less per bottle, slightly cheaper than a bottle of genuine Proton SP3.

Edit: The web says 100,000 miles laugh.gif. Up to 160,000KM, although I think I'll change it when I feel that it's getting dark or not smooth because it's actually quite cheap anyway.

You could do the change yourself. You just need a pump, e.g a kerosene pump, and ATF fluid, and perhaps a car jack if you plan to do air bleeding for the power steering system.
