Guys, I recently found a neglected Bold CFE. The owner was in financial trouble but the car has zero loans except for 2k with the mechanics.
Condition wise about 70-75%. Paint work quite bad. Windscreen cracked. Taillights and headlights dull and has water vapour inside. Front seats were torned. Dashboard and interior still ok. Probably need a wipe down. 2 front tires flat. Rear tires ok. RT expired about a year ago. Market price for Bold CFE according to various sites is between 12 to 15k depending on condition. I'm thinking of getting this and offering to pay off the owner's debt with the mechanic. How much should I be offering for the car itself? Also, how much for repair everything as below? Windscreen ? Taillights ? Headlights ? 2 tires ? Front bumper ? Front seats (driver + passenger) ? Bonnet ? Debt to mechanic, 2k How much to offer the owner for the car? Will 5-6k acceptable? Car is still drivable and I found no jerks or delay in gear shifts. |

I bought an used 2021 Executive about 2 months ago and loving it. Sold my Peugeot 3008 for 3k because it needed another 20k for repairs. Despite the noisy cabin and dashboard rattling, it is kinda quirky. I have since DIY the audio system, fog lights, air horn and a few simple mods. Right now I have 2 reverse cams. One from the 70mai D07 mirror dashcam and another from the Sony head unit. Each with different angles and triggered together. Added a subwoofer too with DIY plywood base and carpet underlay yesterday. Even added an Ottocast dongle to convert the Sony wired AA to wireless AA. Smooth as butter. I have many more mods to do but will do it slowly. On my previous Peugeot, it is not moldable. Any electrical or engine mods will trigger an Electrical Fault or Engine Problem errors. So fed up with such errors. BaseMod liked this post

QUOTE(nghj @ May 27 2025, 08:29 AM) Where buy exora now? Used car need to save some budget for repairs. Protons require attention, you have to maintain them well, take note of things that require to service and parts need replace when due and it’ll run great. Used Exora plenty on FB Marketplace or Carousell. Beware of old models from 2012 till 2018 especially if the previous owners haven't changed the OCH before. Look for 2019 onwards as these using OCH v2 or v3. Mine using OCH v3 done at Proton SC. Total including the oil change and OCH came to RM 500 which is cheap compared to my Peugeot 3008 previously. The older u buy, the cheaper it gets. Saw a few 2012s going for 11-13k on FB Marketplace. U can buy these old models but need to prepare at least to 10k to overhaul the gearbox, wear and tear items and clean the interiors. U never know what u will find. I found a couple of RMs underneath the carpet and seats. If u budget for 15k, overhaul the engine too. Once all done, it will feel like a brand new car without any loans. BaseMod liked this post

QUOTE(ayamxxx @ May 27 2025, 06:00 AM) True. I got like 280-300 @ RM 60 of 95 fuel. Still slightly better than my Peugeot 3008. Of course pick-up is slower due to CVT. AT so much quicker at acceleration. BaseMod liked this post

QUOTE(BaseMod @ May 27 2025, 04:27 PM) I spent RM50 per week for Saga, does it mean I have to spend twice? Turbo is highly recommended because the body is heavy. But the engine is quite thirsty for city driving. Yes you are right used. 2012. Selling about 20k. Great to here, I had a 2011 Saga but it needed maintenance I spent over 20k now already That's amazing sadly newer models are not available here. Can I know what terms are being used here? Should I get Turbo version of Exora? If u coming from continental, it is a saving. If coming from Perodua or Toyota, it is a guzzler. BaseMod liked this post
