I've been hunting for cars since middle of last year, and the M3/M6 is the one i've set my eyes on.
Quick questions to the owners here,
1) rain sensor issue aside, any other major issues I should look out for?
2) Depending on minor or major service, how much should I prepare and any other maintenance issues should I be aware of?
3) Prolly related to my 1st Q, but if I'm buying a second hand car is that really something I should consider or rather? I know buying a new one will save me the headache but if I can see a bargain 2nd hand, I think its worth the risk, no?

QUOTE(guilt79 @ Aug 6 2014, 02:09 PM) My suggestion is that you to consider Toyota Altis or Camry. You get less headache..  Seriously, if you very worried about the cost of maintenance, you should get Altis, Camry, Perdana, Inspira.. Because if you involve in accident, Mazda parts need to wait for 3-4 months, depending how damage your car is. Parts are more expensive than Proton, Perodua because most of the parts are imported. And I tell you, "imported" doesn't mean lasting though.. People choose Mazda cars is because it "defy convention".  Well I've been using a Kia Forte and the maintenance does come up to slightly lower, so it's only logical to set expectations right. And i'm not going to kid myself by comparing to a 'Proton' or a 'Perodua' for that matter. Nonetheless thank you for your input, guess I will have to keep a secondary car then  |
