Hi all, any 2nd hand owner of inspira here? any review?
Inspira is it considered as reliable car in term of maintaining other than engine oil/filter/sparkplug/cvt oil any other thing? how much maintaining price yearly assume drive 20k per annual.
And inspira got 3yr or 5 yr warranty? thinking to find 2yr car, but considering other factor like FC/Roadtax/car maintainance. 1.8 CVT seems cheap for roadtax but not much in 2nd hand market mostly 2.0..

not reliable, things 1 7 break
everything also expensive
in 1 year and 8 months ownership i spent more than 20k. (to be fair, suspension, 2nd set of wheels, asc etc accounted for as well)

33k km mileage.

only 3 year warranty and mine expiring soon.

consider preve, strong chassis.
inspira weak chassis. weak everything, everything break, and when replace super expensive.

u butthurt ow many day from insapla vs preve tered? haha, suspension , 2nd set wheel, asc etc its own mao.. i can live without it


QUOTE(darklordzz @ Jul 28 2015, 07:14 AM)
This car sell also nobody wan to buy.

I'm on manual but i hear CVT maintenance quite expensive....

Warranty ... mine is extended to 7 years (2015). Dunu previous year models got extended anot.
*
wad diff? i guess only cvt oil n filter?
Urs is what year? proton own extend to 7 yr? so many yr ah

QUOTE(iguana_tan @ Jul 28 2015, 10:13 AM)
well im the guy who can review it as 2nd buyer for 2.0 cvt.
1. internal car sound here & there, dashboard, drawer, steering sounds when go thru uneven road.
2. external sound like suspension kluk kluk sound you can check on 1st page.
3. EO you can buy from Tesco like full syn 5w40 about RM150 (half year change once assume 10k KM), if you go SC or Shop will cost you around 220.
4. normal CVT oil if you service RM41x4 (40k km service if you buy from Proton part). If change cvt filter then diff story
5. diff price on roadtax for 1.8 & 2.0 not much.
6. spark plug can last for around 100k km so not so worry.
7. FC is higher than those 1.5 or 1.6 cc car so dont compare so much
8. car maintenance is higher as parts all not cheap.
9. driving 2.0 cvt feeling under power liao so i assume 1.8cvt will have that feeling too if not worse than. (of course you can hv some tuning)
10. if you car still hv warranty then you need a lot of free time as you need to visit SC often and wait there to fix here n there.

above statement are based on my car only. other than these things, you always can hv some tuning for better FC, security, comfort and feel free to go through tis forum  biggrin.gif

very good review, how much u bought and what year manufacture? those sound in uneven road? ratting sound or what? fc i guess not much diff with 1.6? my current car 10km/lit, i guess insapla newer tech n cvt around that..

QUOTE(woe.com @ Jul 28 2015, 04:09 PM)

QUOTE(kcmy @ Jul 30 2015, 10:28 PM)
planning to buy a second hand inspira, saw a few for sale in mudah and one caught my eyes. 2013 model, mileage 20k-29k, with evo 10 bodykit selling for rm51,800.

went there and the sales guy told me its NOT a 2013 model, its 2011 then i ask him y he put 2013 in his ad? he said if put 2011 noboby will come and view the car  shocking.gif

2nd thing is, the mileage is 45k which i dun even bother to ask since i ord know wat kind of dealer is this.

and the 3rd thing is, when the aircond is on the cold mode, all is well. but when i turn the dial to hot i notice dusts was blowing out from the vent which seems like cigarettes ash!

thats it man, i terus cabut from there.
*
haha, can share which dealer? i also saw alot 2013, but some is 2011 mostly.. still hunting for 2013 haih..

the car is repainted white from the original black color. there's another unit there, in black. both also almost same year and mileage so i dont bother to look. after the sales guy calculate the monthly installment for me i terus bolt from there, faster than an inspira.
*
i see. Both unit same price? haha monthly installment how much and your dp? wad reason to cabut, haha let me consider?

quazacolt
hmm, my option is i greed for powah and space, got think preve before but i not really like campro.
Wanna try mivec feel, and inspira space is quite big.. About wear and tear, i try to choose below 3yr car with low mileage like below 40k, so i can drive another 20k before some major wear n tear, then can last few year again if all go smoothly.

About maintain the car and wear tear, i know that find a halfcut or junkyard will get lower price, but i not sure where to find or how to begin, as you say need to know some people as connection to bring you and teach.

QUOTE(Quazacolt @ Jul 31 2015, 09:51 PM)
- Mivec feel is overrated,  it's a frigging Toyota DVVT

- Give you a scenario Har,  let's say owner is me. Heavy track driver and overall car abuser. Mileage and year of ownership low,  but the wear and tear no need me to elaborate lo.
I can also guarantee you that visually not easy to inspect also.

Secondly,  female driver ah,  lets say super low mileage,  10k km /6 months oil change,  but I change it 2 years later because mileage 2k only. What's that warning sign on the dashboard?  Dunno la the car can still drive no need care.

- Then how you want to learn more on half cut?  I also no time to learn lol. And assume you do,  who's to guarantee that half cut part no issue?

Basically,  if you're aware of what you're getting into and still want to go for it stubbornly (like me hahaha),  then go ahead lo lol.
*
lol... very good example also, but 2k for 2yrs not valid as whichever come first. even 2k for 2yrs no service i think acceptable haha.. but impossible la, mean 1k 1yrs, less than 100km permonth.. but iinm those mileage actually can be tamped? actually high but put low.. maybe only want to know better is from the service book if available..

Halfcut u no jalan mea? haha, but those shop who bring in halfcut if got experience, part they bring should be ok also as they want to sell it, before they sell they need make sure thing they have is good, maybe they own got expert in inspection.

QUOTE(kcmy @ Jul 31 2015, 10:02 PM)
ya bro, both the same price, RM51,800.

DP RM10k (Trade in my current 12yr old Ford) plus top up and comes to about RM700 per mth.

im also like you, thinking of getting a car tats 3 yrs and below and has low mileage. will bring a mechanic to check if i need to.
*
wad ford ? mean dp over 10k? u loan how many yrs n what rate? haha i havent go check the rate yet.
Mechanic sometimes will pakat with them 1, need careful. Mileage nw i wondering their reliability as it can be chg to lower

i'm giving you very exaggerated example. and that's just the engine oil, what about other items?
"har? need to change gear oil wan ah?"
"har? brake pad need to change wan a? i thought that noise (wear indicator pin) is normal geh?"

and ya, mileage can be tempered.
digital even easier so long you got the tools.

halfcut i no jalan, also rely on members here and these days they so busy, everything also slowed down.
and hor, bring expert no need money ah?
half cut cincai sell make maximum profit wan lo.

if not half cut store huge chunks of part for what?
*
sweat.gif
So mileage not trusted, maybe service book?
QUOTE(koh_424 @ Aug 1 2015, 10:03 AM)
Rite.

I never look into mileage as they sure tempered it. Only look through the condition of the car if from use car.

If direct owner then mileage is trust-able.

Car with high mileage but in good car no big issue.

Car with low mileage but always track then got issue. LOL~~~
*
Track car also high mileage possible?

if it is within my abilities i would prefer to buy new smile.gif
but i have bought used/old cars, like the 1998 kancil manual, for rm2k cash.

and that's what spiralled me down to manual transmission and how i ended up who/what i am today.
*
haha, i see. For new only can afford iriz,myvi,saga,preve iafm. New lala 1.8 = near 80k OTR.
so find 2nd, maybe find direct owner. biggrin.gif

Actually hire purchase very straight forward.
They dont charge processing fees..
They dont charge admin fees...
And at the same time they not charity house.. They charge based on the interest they charge. So if the total return of the loan is too low they wont do also. Thats why when u loan small amount the rate wont be nice.. As well as lesser number of years
*
hmmm. 1 bank charge me need buy their insurance for 1st year, what road cover 7yr rm 3xx, and another rm3xx runner fee including inspection and chg name

there is no such policy. That person whom do the loan for u wan to earn the commission.
as for the runner fee include inspection and change name is not the bank charge, but the runner and puspakom. you cant transfer name if the car is not being inspect
*
yea, i realize about that... rm330 inspection plus chg name, that is what bank told me..
inspection and chg name from jpj n puspakom cost around 200 rite? maybe 100 plus is runner fee.
the bank say once runner done all i n seller to jpj, chg name.. finish completed chg name, the loan will approve

the loan need to be approve before the name change.
sudah change name baru approve habis jo the bank

after jpj change name .. the loan can be disburse to the seller

yaya my mistake, after chg name the money will credit to seller..
what if seller want to take his old plate num? mean after approve loan, and inspect all that.. before transfer name in car grant he chg plate num to new one, old num pput his new car
